Abstract:
A reflective liquid crystal display device comprising first and second substrates between which liquid crystal material is disposed and electrodes provided on the substrates defining an array of display pixels, the first substrate having an array of optically reflective pixel electrodes each of which is connected to an output of a respective switching device carried on the first substrate and is provided on a single surface of an insulating layer extending over the first substrate and covering the switching devices, characterized in that the respective pixel electrode is connected to the output of the switching device via a plurality of mutually separate contact openings in the insulating layer at spaced locations over an area of the respective pixel electrode and the contact openings having sloping sidewalls over which the respective pixel electrode extends and all portions of the respective pixel electrode extending over the sidewalls separated from each other only by portions of the insulating layer.
