Abstract

A transflective liquid crystal display module is provided. The transflective LCD includes a backlight unit for providing a light, an active matrix substrate, an opposite substrate with an internal reflector disposed between the active matrix substrate and the backlight unit, an optical film disposed on the opposite substrate, and a liquid crystal layer filled between the active matrix substrate and the optical film. In the transflective LCD of the present invention, the light provided by the backlight unit is reflected back by the internal reflector such that the light provided by the backlight unit can be recycled. Furthermore, a flat panel display device and an electronic apparatus are also provided.
