Abstract:
1. A liquid crystal display device comprising: a pixel substrate having a pixel electrode composed of a reflective electrode that reflects light and a transparent electrode that transmits light; a opposed substrate having a opposed electrode disposed opposite the pixel electrode; and liquid crystal sealed between the pixel substrate and the opposed substrate, the liquid crystal display device displaying an image while being illuminated with light reflected from the reflective electrode or with light transmitted through the transparent electrode, wherein the pixel substrate comprises: a coloring layer formed on top of the reflective electrode to add a color to light and having an opening formed above the reflective electrode to obtain sufficient brightness; a multiple-gap portion formed of resin, the multiple-gap portion being formed continuously on top of the coloring layer and in the opening, the multiple-gap portion narrowing a thickness of the liquid crystal above the reflective electrode to about half a thickness of the liquid crystal above the transparent electrode; and a contact hole formed in the multiple-gap portion inside a rim of the opening, the contact hole permitting the transparent electrode laid in the multiple-gap portion and on the coloring layer and the reflective electrode to conduct to each other.
