Transflective TFT LCD modules have both "transmissive" and "reflective" modes that use a backlight or ambient light as a light source. The "transmissive" mode provides high visibility in dark environments, while the "reflective" mode allows high visibility under strong sunlight without having to increase the brightness of the backlight. Thus, transflective TFT-LCD modules can reduce power consumption and are especially suitable for mobile devices.
Transflective displays offer excellent readability with low power consumption.
