Abstract

A LCD and LED hybrid display screen has a LCD display screen, a LED display screen overlapping with the LCD display screen, and a drive device for driving the LCD display screen and the LED display screen. The LED display screen has at least one LED pattern and each LED pattern comprises a plurality of strokes is corresponding to at least one LED lamp. The drive device drives the LCD display screen to display at least one LCD display pattern and driving the LED lamp to emit light. A LED display pattern formed by a light emitted by the LED lamp and the LCD display pattern are in one-to-one correspondence. A LCD and LED clock with a LCD and LED hybrid display screen is further provided. Different ambient brightness can be adapted while the power consumption can be reduced through overlapping the LCD display screen with the LED display screen.
