transparent adhesive 252 is, for example, optical clear adhesive, and material of the light shielding adhesive 254 may include black resin, but is not limited. Thetransparent adhesive 252 is, for example, adhered to thedisplay layer 230 after thedisplay layer 230 is manufactured. Then, when thedisplay layer 230 is assembled to thefirst substrate 210, thetransparent adhesive 252 adhered to thedisplay layer 230 is adhered to thefirst substrate 210 by the light shielding adhesive 254, so that thedisplay layer 230 is adhered to thefirst substrate 210. - In the present embodiment, the light shielding adhesive 254 is used to prevent the
driving circuit layer 212 of thefirst substrate 210 from being illuminated by external light rays. Therefore, thereflective display apparatus 200 b of the present embodiment has same advantages as thereflective display apparatus 200. -
FIG. 5 is a schematic view of a reflective display apparatus of another embodiment of the present invention. Referring toFIG. 5 , thereflective display apparatus 200 c is similar to thereflective display apparatus 200 inFIG. 2 , the difference is in the light shielding layer, and therefore thelight shielding layer 250′ of thereflective display apparatus 200 c is described in details. - The
light shielding layer 250′ of thereflective display apparatus 200 c includes atransparent adhesive 252′ and a light shielding adhesive 254′. The light shielding adhesive 254′ has a first adheringsurface 251′ and athird surface 255′ opposite to the first adheringsurface 251′. Thetransparent adhesive 252′ has a second adheringsurface 253′ and a fourth adheringsurface 257′ opposite to the second adheringsurface 253′, and the fourth adheringsurface 257′ is adhered to thethird surface 255′. The first adheringsurface 251′ is adhered to thedisplay layer 230, the second adheringsurface 253′ is adhered to thedriving circuit layer 212 of thefirst substrate 210, and the fourth adheringsurface 257′ is adhered to thethird surface 255′. - The
transparent adhesive 252′ is, for example, optical clear adhesive, and material of the light shielding adhesive 254′ may include black resin, but is not limited. The light shielding adhesive 254′ is, for example, adhered to thedisplay layer 230 after thedisplay layer 230 is manufactured. Then, when thedisplay layer 230 is assembled to thefirst substrate 210, the light shielding adhesive 254′ adhered to thedisplay layer 230 is adhered to thefirst substrate 210 by thetransparent adhesive 252′, so that thedisplay layer 230 is adhered to thefirst substrate 210. - In the present embodiment, the light shielding adhesive 254′ is used to prevent the
driving circuit layer 212 of thefirst substrate 210 from being illuminated by external light rays. Therefore, thereflective display apparatus 200 c of the present embodiment has same advantages as thereflective display apparatus 200. - In summary, because the light shielding layer of the reflective display apparatus is adhered to the driving circuit layer, the light shielding layer can be used to prevent the driving circuit layer from being illuminated by external light rays. This can prevent the active elements in the driving circuit layer from generating electrical leakage resulted from being illuminated by external light ray. Thus, the reflective display apparatus has improved display quality.
