Working principle of segment code LCD screen:

The three modes of full transmission, semi-transmission and reflection are common modes of TN LCD screens. Generally speaking, liquid crystals do not actively emit light, so an external light source is required. One feasible method is to provide an external light source, that is, a backlight. The backlight can be used or not. The light source of fully transmissive liquid crystal is behind the liquid crystal; the light source of reflective liquid crystal comes from the front of the liquid crystal and is reflected by the polarizer of the LCD screen to the observer’s eyes; the semi-transmissive liquid crystal is somewhere between the two. During this time, there is both light from behind the liquid crystal and reflected light from the front. Therefore, fully transmissive liquid crystals require the use of a backlight, while reflective liquid crystals do not require a backlight. Semi-transmissive liquid crystals may or may not use a backlight. An LCD screen without a backlight cannot see the display in the dark.
