Abstract:
1. A liquid crystal display device, comprising: a first substrate; a second substrate that introduces external light; a liquid crystal layer interposed between the first substrate and the second substrate, the liquid crystal layer being formed of liquid crystal with a negative dielectric anisotropy; a transmissive display area for transmissive display and a reflective display area for reflective display provided in one dot area, the reflective display area using light introduced from the second substrate in reflective display; an electrode to drive the liquid crystal formed in between the first substrate and the liquid crystal layer, the electrode being formed with an opening portion that serves as an alignment regulator to regulate alignment of the liquid crystal; and a reflective film disposed between the first substrate and the liquid crystal layer at a position that two-dimensionally overlaps the transmissive display area and the opening portion in plan view, the reflective film reflecting light introduced from the second substrate to contribute to reflective display.
