Abstract

An introduction to transflective displays for mobile devices is given, and the transflective display structure is discussed with regard to optimization of the display to mobile devices. Ways to improve the viewing angle of transflective displays are described. Finally, some aspects of integrating touch capability to transflective displays are given.
