Abstract

We have designed a single gap transflective liquid crystal display (LCD) driven by a fringe electric field, in which the +LC (${\Delta}{\varepsilon}$=7.4, rubbing angle= $80^{\circ}$) is homogeneously aligned in the initial state. This device is a problem that the voltage-dependent transmittance and reflectance curves do not match each other. Thus a dual driving circuit is required. This study shows that optimization of the rubbing angle in the transmissive and reflective regions solves this problem so that the transflective display with a single cell gap and single gamma curve for reflective and transmissive region is possible.
