Abstract:
A reflection type liquid crystal display device, comprising:a first substrate having an array of a plurality of light reflecting pixel electrodes, each of which includes a high reflectivity pixel electrode region near a focal point upon which light incident upon a microlens is focussed, and a low reflectivity pixel electrode region surrounding the high reflectivity pixel electrode region such that surfaces of the high and low reflectivity pixel electrode regions are formed on the same plane;a second substrate having an array of a plurality of microlenses; andliquid crystals sandwiched between said first and second substrates for modulating incident light entering between said first and second substrates and reflected by the light reflecting pixel electrodes to form an optical display,wherein the high reflectivity pixel electrode region reflects incident light and the low reflectivity pixel electrode region limits a reflection of incident light components of stray light caused by aberration among light passed through the microlens.
