Abstract
A flexible transflective LCD device having a dual-polarizer structure is manufactured by means of coating the thin-film polarizer therein. The object of the present invention is to solve a drawback of the conventional LCD incapable of being flexible. Multiple supporting microstructures and an external flexible light source collocated with the flexible components and the means of coating method are incorporated to form the flexible transflective LCD device with dual polarizers.
