We propose a single mode transflective liquid crystal display (LCD) which is operated as the transmissive and reflective modes in a single pixel without dividing into sub-pixels. The single pixel transflective LCD was composed of the cross-polarized nematic LCD as a light modulator and the broadband cholesteric liquid crystal film (BCLCF) as a half mirror. The BCLCF, simply prepared by the exposure of ultraviolet light to the mixture of the nematic LC and the reactive mesogen with chirality, selectively reflects a certain circular polarization but transmits the orthogonal circular polarization in entire visible light. The electro-optical properties in both transmissive and reflective modes coincide with each other.

We report on novel pixel architecture for improving the transmittance and reducing the gamma distortion to minimize the color shift in an 8K QUHD LCD panel with the hG-2D technology. In our LCD panel, each pixel has a unique electrode structure which is mixed with conventional microslits and reversed those. It is named "multi-domain reversedslit VA mode (MRS-VA)". This MRSVA-LCD has the excellent transmittance by matching the LC distortions on the vertical electrode and two data lines which is asymmetrically positioned. Besides, by shielding the LC distortion line at the oblique viewing angle, the gamma distortion can be effectively suppressed. Through our pixel structure, superior performances to conventional LCD could be clearly proved (GDI value: 0.345 and panel transmittance (T): 3.7%). Additionally, by demonstrations of overcoming the crosstalk and bruising defects, we demonstrated that MRSVA-LCD could be applied to the commercial 8K panels manufactured by the mass production.
