Abstract
A display control method and a terminal device are provided. The display control method is applied to a terminal device having a transmissive liquid crystal display (LCD), and a backlight side of the transmissive LCD has a mechanical structure. The method includes detecting an operating status of the terminal device, turning off the transmissive LCD of the terminal device when the terminal device is in a standby state, and controlling the transmissive LCD to be in a transparent state to display the mechanical structure on the backlight side of the transmissive LCD. Hence, the method reduces power consumption of the terminal device and retains a watch function of displaying time by the terminal device.
