Three primary Polarization Types in LCD technology ----- Update on 2009-11-04
The three primary types of display polarization technologies are:
Reflective
Transmissive
Transflective
What are the differences between Reflective, Transflective, and Transmissive displays?
A: Reflective displays include a diffuser, this layer reflects the light that enters the front of the display. Reflective displays require ambient light for the light source since there is no backlight.
Transflective displays have a type of backlighting which is bonded to the rear polarizer. This enables light to pass through the back, as well as reflecting light from the front.
Transmissive displays do not have reflectors or transflectors laminated to the rear polarizer. A backlight must be used with this type of LCD configuration.
