Ordinary LCD screens and reflective LCD screens differ in their display principles. Ordinary LCD screens typically require a backlight to illuminate the pixels, making the image visible. Reflective LCD screens, on the other hand, rely on ambient light, displaying images by reflecting this light.
When an ordinary LCD screen is converted to a reflective LCD screen, if the ambient light is insufficient or there is no adequate light shining on the screen, the screen will appear very dim, or even completely invisible. This is because reflective LCD screens require sufficient ambient light to function properly; without enough light, the screen cannot reflect enough brightness to display the image. Furthermore, problems during the conversion process can also cause the screen to malfunction.
For example, if the reflective LCD screen is not installed or configured correctly during the conversion process, or if incompatible components are used, the screen may not function properly.
Therefore, if you want to convert an ordinary LCD screen to a reflective LCD screen, you need to ensure sufficient ambient light and correctly install and configure the reflective LCD screen to ensure its proper functioning. At the same time, you also need to pay attention to selecting compatible components to avoid compatibility issues.
