Abstract:
A liquid crystal display device comprising: a first substrate; a second substrate; and a liquid crystal layer provided between the first substrate and the second substrate, the first substrate including a plurality of switching elements and a plurality of pixel electrodes electrically connected to the plurality of switching elements, respectively, and the second substrate including a counter electrode opposing the plurality of pixel electrodes via the liquid crystal layer, wherein:each of the plurality of pixel electrodes includes a first sub-pixel electrode and a second sub-pixel electrode which are electrically connected to one of the switching elements, a distance between the first sub-pixel electrode and the counter electrode being greater than a distance between the second sub-pixel electrode and the counter electrode; and the second sub-pixel electrode is electrically connected to the switching element via a connection line provided separately from a path which electrically connects the first sub-pixel electrode to the switching element; wherein the first sub-pixel electrode is a transparent electrode, and the second sub-pixel electrode is a reflection electrode.
