Abstract:
1. A transflective liquid crystal device, comprising: a first transparent substrate having first transparent electrodes and pixel switching elements formed on a surface in a matrix; a second transparent substrate having second transparent electrodes formed on a surface facing the first transparent electrodes; a liquid crystal layer held between the first transparent substrate and the second transparent substrate; a light reflecting layer formed on the first transparent substrate, the light reflecting layer having a reflection display region formed in a pixel in which the first transparent electrode faces the second transparent electrode and a transmission display region formed in the remaining region of the pixel, the first transparent substrate and the second transparent substrate being formed such that a layer thickness of the liquid crystal layer in the reflection display region is thinner than the layer thickness of the liquid crystal layer in the transmission display region; a color filter for transmission display formed in the transmission display region, and a color filter for reflection displayed formed in the reflection display region; a columnar protrusion formed on a surface facing the liquid crystal layer of at least one of the first transparent substrate and the second transparent substrate, the columnar protrusion defining the substrate gap between the first transparent substrate and the second transparent substrate by protruding from one of the substrates and abutting against the other substrate; an unevenness pattern formed on the surface of the light reflecting layer having the reflection display region; and a layer-thickness adjusting layer being formed on the second transparent substrate at a position that overlaps the unevenness pattern.
