Abstract:
1. A liquid crystal device comprising a plurality of pixels each having a switching element, the liquid crystal device further comprising: a first substrate; a second substrate opposing the first substrate; a liquid crystal material provided between the first substrate and the second substrate; wires formed on the first substrate and electrically, respectively connected to the switching elements which are also formed on the first substrate; a reflective layer formed above the wires and the switching elements; an insulating layer provided between (i) the reflective layer and (ii) the wires and switching elements formed on the first substrate; and a first light-shielding layer, wherein: each pixel has a reflective display region formed by the reflective layer and a transparent display region without the reflective layer; and for each pixel, the first light-shielding layer is formed of a material identical to a material of at least one layer included in the wire or each switching element; and the wire serpentinely extends in the vicinity of the reflective display region and the transparent display region so as to bypass the first light-shielding layer.
