Abstract:
1. A transflective electro-optical device, comprising: a pair of substrates; an electro-optical material provided between the pair of substrates; display electrodes provided on at least one of the pair of substrates at an electro-optical material side; a first color filter provided on one substrate of the pair of substrates at the electro-optical material side, the first color filter having a selective-reflection region in each pixel that selectively reflects external light that is in a predetermined wavelength range, and a light-transmission region in each pixel that transmits external light that is in and outside of the predetermined wavelength range, the other substrate of the pair of substrates that is opposed to the first color filter, with the electro-optical material provided therebetween, being a transparent substrate; a light-shielding film provided at an opposite side of the first color filter from the electro-optical material so as to be opposed to the selective-reflection regions; an internal light source provided at the opposite side of the second color filter from the electro-optical material; and a second color filter provided at the opposite side of the first color filter from the electro-optical material so as to be opposed to the light-transmission regions, the second color filter having a selective-transmission region in each pixel that selectively transmits light from the internal light source in the predetermined wavelength range.
