• Reflective • Transmissive • Transflective Q: Where is Reflective technology found? A: Reflective technology is most commonly found on calculators and some inexpensive digital wristwatches. Since Liquid Crystal Displays are non-emissive type of displays this means that they do not generate their own light source, they rely on an external light source. The light source might be using the sun, a current ambient light in order to see the characters on the display. So, when a display is “Reflective” it means that is needs to have a light source in front of the display in order for you to read the display. Q: Where is Transmissive technology found? A: Transmissive technology is the opposite of the Reflective technology. Transmissive technology can be found in Medical devices, test and measurement instruments, automotive audio, laptop computers etc. This technology requires a backlight in order to see the characters. In addition, most transmissive displays are negative mode, meaning that th
