Transflective liquid crystal display
|
A transflective liquid crystal display is an LCD display that can both transmit as well as reflect light. When subject to bright light the display acts as a reflective display (left – click to enlarge). In the absence of ambient light the transmissive backlight is used.
• One of ADAM's two screen variants uses a 10.1 inch, 16:9 format, colour Pixel Qi transflective sunlight readable display (while the other uses a 10.1 inch, 16:9 format, colour TFT-LCD panel).
