Abstract:
1. A liquid crystal display device, comprising: a first substrate and a second substrate which face each other; a liquid crystal layer which is interposed between the first substrate and second substrate and which is comprised of liquid crystal molecules; and a plurality of pixels each comprised of a reflection section configured to perform display in a reflection mode and a transmission section configured to perform display in a transmission mode, wherein in the first substrate, a reflecting electrode for applying voltage to the liquid crystal layer in the reflection section and a transparent electrode for applying voltage to the liquid crystal layer in the transmission section are provided, the transparent electrode being connected with the reflecting electrode electrically, in the second substrate, a common electrode is provided so as to face the first substrate, in the liquid crystal layer in each of the pixels, the liquid crystal molecules are oriented substantially perpendicularly to planes of the substrates when no voltage is applied to the liquid crystal layer, applied voltage adjusting means configured whereby voltage applied to the liquid crystal layer in the reflection section approximates voltage applied to the liquid crystal layer in the transmission section, and wherein a step portion is formed in a boundary region between the reflection section and the transmission section.
