Transmissive LCD's is the most widely used LCD screens simply because they are the best compromise between high quality and low quality priced LCD.
the screen uses what we call a thin film transistor that allows current to pass through it and light up the diodes.

The downside if transmissive LCD screens is that the back-light can be overpowered by bright lights or the sun during outdoor uses.

2. Reflective Laptop screen.
Reflective screens is said to use the same technology that transmissive screens use, though they do not have the same back-light with the Transmissive screens.

Reflective laptop screens do not have the problem of overpowering like the Transmissive screens but do to lack of a back-light it makes reflective screens look dim when being used in a normal conditions.

3. Transflective laptop screens:
Transflective screens are a hybrid of the transmissive screen and the reflective screen technologies that allows the LCD to work like a transmissive screen when being used indoor and like reflective screen when being used outdoors.
