Abstract:
1. A liquid crystal display device comprising a pair of substrates and a liquid crystal layer interposed between the pair of substrates, the liquid crystal display device having a reflective region and a transmissive region, wherein liquid crystal in the liquid crystal layer is vertically aligned in an initial alignment state, wherein the liquid crystal layer comprises a nematic liquid crystal material with a negative dielectric anisotropy, wherein each of the air of substrates includes a vertical alignment film, wherein one of the pair of substrates includes a longitudinal projecting portion as an alignment-controlling structure element and a liquid-crystal-layer-thickness adjusting portion for setting a liquid crystal layer thickness in the reflective region to be smaller than a liquid crystal layer thickness in the transmissive region, wherein the projecting portion is extended without a gap along at least a part of a side surface of the liquid-crystal-layer-thickness adjusting portion, wherein the other of the pair or substrates includes a second alignment-controlling structure element extended parallel to the projecting portion, and wherein the projecting portion and the second alignment-controlling structure element are arranged with a gap therebetween when a display surface is viewed from a front.
