— A wide‐view transflective liquid‐crystal display (LCD) capable of switching between transmissive and reflective modes in response to different ambient‐light conditions is proposed. This transflective LCD adopts a single‐cell‐gap multi‐domain vertical‐alignment (MVA) cell that exhibits high contrast ratio, wide‐viewing angle, and good light transmittance ( T ) and reflectance ( R ). Under proper cell optimization, a good match between the VT and VR curves can also be obtained for single‐gamma‐curve driving.
