A transflective liquid-crystal display[1] is a liquid-crystal display (LCD) with an optical layer that reflects and transmits light (transflective is a portmanteau of transmissive and reflective).

Transflective LCDs are designed for devices exposed to variable or extreme lighting. They work well wherever a device must remain readable in full sunlight while running on battery for hours.

May 9, 2025 · Transmissive and transflective displays represent two fundamentally different optical philosophies. The former relies on backlighting to illuminate pixels, while the latter …

Transflective displays reflect the available light off the surface to illuminate the image. These displays are called transflective because they reflect and transmit the light; transflective = …

Jan 31, 2023 · Transflective displays combine backlighting and ambient light reflection to illuminate the pixels, resulting in a display with both transmissive and reflective properties.

Jul 21, 2025 · Learn the differences between the three main LCD modes. We explain the pros and cons of Transmissive (backlit), Reflective (ambient light), and Transflective (hybrid) displays.

Transflective refers to a type of liquid crystal display (LCD) that uses a semitransmissive diffuse reflector to provide both front and back lighting for day and night viewing.

Transmissive, reflective, and transflective displays differ primarily in how they use light to create images. Transmissive displays rely on a backlight to illuminate the screen, while reflective …

Jul 28, 2025 · Transflective LCDs blend both transmissive and reflective technologies for versatility in varying lighting conditions. Each mode offers specific advantages and trade-offs, …

May 16, 2024 · A transflective LCDs is a display panel that combines both transmissive and reflective properties. This dual functionality allows the screen to adapt to different lighting …
