Claim:
1. A liquid crystal display device comprising: a plurality of pixels arranged in a matrix; a plurality of reflective electrode groups provided for each of the pixels, each of the reflective electrode groups including one or more reflective electrodes, with a combination of the areas of the reflective electrode groups being used to perform area coverage modulation using n bits, where n is an integer more than 2, each reflective electrode group corresponding to one of the n bits, the reflective electrode groups being configured such that a ratio of the sum of the perimeters of the reflective electrodes in each reflective electrode group corresponding to each bit of the n bits satisfies 2 a counter electrode facing the plurality of reflective electrode groups; and a liquid crystal layer provided between the reflective electrode groups and the counter electrode, wherein the reflective electrodes include 2 wherein a total number of the reflective electrodes included in one pixel is a sum of a number of the reflective electrodes corresponding to each bit, wherein the reflective electrodes have a same shape and a same size, and wherein two or more of the reflective electrodes corresponding to the same bit are electrically connected to one another.
