Transflective TFT-LCD modules have both “transmissive” and “reflective” modes.
Both display modes work together for enhanced performance.
In darker environments, the “transmissive” mode is dominant with emissions from the display’s backlight.
In daylight or bright environments, the “reflective” mode of the display is more dominant through reflectance from the internal mirror structure.
Transflective TFT display screen have a layer of reflector in front of the backlight. The incoming light is reflected on the reflector layer and used to illuminate the TFT display. as the transfelctive screen, Transflective TFT LCD display modules have both "transmissive" and "reflective" characters.
Transflective displays tft are characterized by well readability in bright ambient light and direct sunlight. While transmissive TFT lcd displays can only be operated with a backlight, transflective screen feature the reflector on the color filter of TFT cell, thatin Therefore, its incoming ambient light is reflected on the TFT reflective layer and reflect to illuminate the display. As a result, the readability of the content in very bright sun light is perfect even without backlight.
Advantage of transflective screen:
Another advantage of transflective display TFT modules is power savings compared to traditional “transmissive- only” displays. transflective lcd display combines the advantages of transmissive and transflective lcd displays, we also call it transreflective screen, the transflective screen are perfectly readable under almost any ambient light conditions. In addition, they are very energy efficient, making them ideal for battery powered devices and mobile applications.Customers using a transflective screen can save power by reducing or turning off the display’s backlight during bright environments because the “reflective” mode is dominant.
