The display surface can be reflective, transmissive, or a combination of both.

Stephen Fry describes this new form of transmissive journalism and entertainment.

The other method is to block the light (a transmissive LV).

Such gratings can be either transmissive or reflective.

So how exactly do transmissive films work within an LCD device?

Electro-optic displays can be realized with that effect in the transmissive and reflective mode of operation.

Only in dim and dark ambient situations an auxiliary transmissive backlight should be provided.

LCDs are known as "transmissive" displays because the light isn't created by the liquid crystals themselves.

Extreme ultraviolet light is absorbed by all materials, so the process uses reflective rather than transmissive materials, which are used in the current technology.

Transmissive films can help block LCD images from anyone not standing directly in front of the screen.

(If you do most of your work indoors, opt for the transmissive screen instead, which is brighter when not in sunshine.)

Because it is a transmissive technology, L.C.D. can be used in both direct view and projection sets.

They correspond to absorptive and transmissive differences in the oscillations of the magnetic waves we used to make the scan."

Gratings may be of the 'reflective' or 'transmissive' type, analogous to a mirror or lens respectively.

Its permeable and transmissive properties allow it to form a vital portion of the Floridan Aquifer.

Because transmissive materials in the infrared are rather lossy, the frequency tuning element is almost always a diffraction grating.

Reflectance pulse oximetry may be used as an alternative to transmissive pulse oximetery described above.

This device is a transmissive modulator designed to work at a wavelength of 980 nm, compatible with many good laser diode sources.

A transmissive device with nine "pixels" with an overall diameter of 0.5 cm was shown to support over 10 Mbit/s.

Conventional transmissive optical materials from which lenses or other optical devices can be manufactured are typically very lossy.

Linear encoders may use transmissive (glass) or reflective scales, employing Ronchi or phase gratings.

PPGs can be obtained from transmissive absorption (as at the finger tip) or reflective (as on the forehead).

While transmissive film makes lighting more clear when it's switched on (above, lower), it also creates a "dead front" look when it's off (above, top).

Silver chloride has a use as an infra-red transmissive optical component as it can be hot-pressed into window and lens shapes.
