Abstract:
1. A liquid crystal display device for displaying an image and including a plurality of pixels, the liquid crystal display device comprising: a first substrate, a second substrate, and a liquid crystal layer interposed between at least the first substrate and the second substrate; a pixel region corresponding to one of the plurality of pixels; wherein the pixel region includes a reflection region having light reflectivity and a transmission region having light transmissivity; wherein light from the reflection region and transmitted light from the transmission region are utilized in displaying the image; wherein the reflection region of the pixel region includes a reflection layer provided at least in the reflection region, the reflection layer including a surface comprising a wavelike surface; wherein the transmission region of the pixel region includes a transparent pixel electrode provided in at least the transmission region; wherein the liquid crystal layer is substantially thicker in the transmission region than in the reflection region; wherein the transparent pixel electrode is located over the reflection layer; wherein the reflection layer is electrically isolated from the transparent pixel electrode; and wherein the reflection region substantially surrounds the transmission region in the pixel region.
