Transflective color-balanced liquid crystal display

A transflective display comprising:

• an electronically controllable optical medium for forming a plurality of pixels, wherein at least some of the pixels comprise a plurality of sub-pixel segments, each of the sub-pixel segments in a pixel associated with a color for viewing, and at least one of the sub-pixel segments in each of said at least some pixels comprises a first sub-pixel and a second sub-pixel associated with the first sub-pixel;
• a color filter disposed in relationship to each of the sub-pixel segments for filtering light encountering the first sub-pixel for providing the color associated with said sub-pixel segment, wherein the first sub-pixel comprises a transmission area and a reflection area;
• and
• a device layer disposed in relationship to the electronically controllable optical medium for controlling the optical medium, wherein the device layer is operatively connected to a first gate line for electrically controlling the optical medium associated with the first sub-pixels and a second gate line for electrically controlling the optical medium associated with the second sub-pixels.
