noun
semi-transmissive LCD
Technical term for a liquid crystal display that can both reflect ambient light and transmit backlight, used in devices like watches and outdoor equipment.
この腕時計は半透過型液晶ディスプレーを採用している。
This watch uses a semi-transmissive LCD.
Reflective LCD relies only on ambient light; semi-transmissive adds a backlight for low-light visibility.
Transmissive LCD uses only backlight and is not readable in direct sunlight, unlike semi-transmissive.
Compound of 半透過 (semi-transmissive) + 型 (type) + 液晶 (liquid crystal) + ディスプレー (display).
