Overwhelmingly large majority of the color TFT display in the market utilize transmissive panel. For a transmissive TFT display to show its color and graphic, the LED backlight will need to illuminate brightly. Thus, the highest power consuming sub-component of a transmissive TFT display is the backlight system.

For electronic device application that is super tight on power, and still desire a video-quick response time graphics, Reflective TFT may well be the right technology to put in place. A Reflective TFT will depend 100% on ambient light to have the color of display to be projected out to the user. Ambient light will shine through the glass and be reflected by the rear polarizer for the graphics to appear. This reflected light has a lower intensity therefore the color of the graphics will not be as vivid as a transmissive TFT display with a high intensity LED backlight.  However, the graphics and the text can still be legible without LED turn-on and thereby saving power.

Some Reflective TFT display comes integrated with a front light. This is for application when the ambient light intensity is low.
