Abstract
A reflective color LCD of high quality, low power consumption, light weight and thin structure is an important device for highly portable information terminals. In this report, we numerically analyzed the influence of the material parameters on the electro-optical properties in various types of a single-polarizer reflective TN-LCD in order to confirm the possibility of reducing power consumption. Our results demonstrate that ultra-low-power (1V in the on-state) reflective TFT-LCDs with high-quality images can be realized if a liquid-crystal material with a small value of K11 and a large value of Δ ε can be developed.
