Abstract

Systems for displaying images including a micro-reflective transmission liquid crystal display with improved reflection and reflective contrast ratio (CR). The micro-reflective transmission liquid crystal display comprises a first substrate, a second substrate, and a liquid crystal layer interposed between the first substrate and the second substrate. The first substrate comprises an array of three primary color sub-pixel regions and a white sub-pixel region. Each pixel region has a transistor and a storage capacitor with respect to the transistor. The storage capacitor with respect to the storage capacitor of the white sub-pixel region is disposed within the area of one of the three primary color sub-pixel regions.

Claims (30)

1. A system for displaying images comprising:

a liquid crystal display panel comprising:

a first substrate comprising an array of three primary color sub-pixel regions and a white sub-pixel region, each sub-pixel region having a transistor and a storage capacitor with respect to the transistor;

a second substrate; and

a liquid crystal layer interposed between the first substrate and the second substrate;

wherein the storage capacitor with respect to the transistor of the white sub-pixel region is disposed within the area of one of the three primary color sub-pixel regions.

2. The system for displaying images as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the liquid crystal display is a micro-reflective transmission liquid crystal display.

3. The system for displaying images as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the three primary color sub-pixel regions comprise a red sub-pixel region, a green sub-pixel region, and a blue sub-pixel region.

4. The system for displaying images as claimed as claim 3 , wherein the storage capacitor with respect to the transistor of the white sub-pixel region is located within the area of the blue sub-pixel region.

5. The system for displaying images as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the white color sub-pixel region corresponds to one of a clear filter, a white filter, or no filter.

6. The system for displaying images as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the second substrate is a color filter substrate.

7. The system for displaying images as claimed in claim 1 , wherein each of the three primary color sub-pixel region and the white sub-pixel region have equal pixel area.

8. The system for displaying images as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a backlight unit disposed outside the second substrate.

9. The system for displaying images as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a controller coupled to the liquid crystal display panel to control the panel to render an image in accordance with an input

10. The system for displaying images as claimed in claim 9 , further comprising: an input device coupled to the controller of the liquid crystal display device to control the display device to render an image.

11. The system for displaying images as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the second substrate comprising three color filters with respect to the three primary color sub-pixel regions, and wherein one of the three primary color filters is greater than its corresponding sub-pixel area, thereby covering the storage capacitor of the white sub-pixel region.

12. A system for displaying images comprising:

a liquid crystal display panel comprising:

a first substrate comprising an array of three primary color sub-pixel regions and a white sub-pixel region, each sub-pixel region having a transistor and a storage capacitor with respect to the transistor,

a second substrate comprising three color filters with respect to the three primary color sub-pixel regions; and

a liquid crystal layer interposed between the first substrate and the second substrate;

wherein one of the three primary color filters is greater than its corresponding sub-pixel area, thereby covering the storage capacitor of the white sub-pixel region such that the storage capacitor is disposed within the area of said one of the three primary color sub-pixel regions.

13. The system for displaying images as claimed in claim 12 , wherein the liquid crystal display is a micro-reflective transmission liquid crystal display.

14. The system for displaying images as claimed in claim 12 , wherein the white color sub-pixel region corresponds to one of a clear filter, a white filter, or no filter.

15. The system for displaying images as claimed in claim 12 , wherein the three color sub-pixel regions comprises a red sub-pixel region, a green sub-pixel, and a blue sub-pixel.

16. The system for displaying images as claimed in claim 12 , wherein the three primary color filters comprise a red filter, a green filter, and a blue filter.

17. The system for displaying images as claimed in claim 16 , wherein the greater one of the three primary color filters is the blue filter.

18. The system for displaying images as claimed in claim 12 , further comprising a backlight unit disposed outside the second substrate.

19. The system for displaying images as claimed in claim 12 , further comprising a controller coupled to the liquid crystal display panel to control the panel to render an image in accordance with an input.

20. The system for displaying images as claimed in claim 19 , further comprising: an input device coupled to the controller of the liquid crystal display device to control the display device to reader an image.
