Abstract

A transflective liquid crystal device capable of balancing a color difference between a reflective region and a transmissive region. The arrangement conditions of optical elements in the transflective LCD are as follows. The twist angle of the liquid crystal is about 40°˜80°. The angles βup, βdown, θup and θdown are about −20°˜−60°, −20°˜20°, 60°˜110°, −30°˜20° respectively. The angle between the retardation axes of the upper λ/2 plate and the upper λ/4 plate is about 30°˜100°, and the angle between the retardation axes of the lower λ/2 plate and the lower λ/4 plate is about 30°˜80°.
