Abstract:
1. A liquid crystal display comprising: a first substrate and a second substrate that are disposed to face each other, a liquid crystal layer interposed between the first substrate and the second substrate, the liquid crystal layer having a substantially horizontal alignment in an initial alignment state, first and second electrodes provided between the liquid crystal layer and the first substrate, wherein the first electrode is formed on the first substrate and the second electrode is formed on an insulating film disposed over the first electrode, a reflecting layer provided between the liquid crystal layer and the first substrate, a pixel region including a reflective display region where light incoming from the second substrate is reflected by the reflecting layer toward the second substrate to perform display and a transmissive display region where light incoming from the first substrate is transmitted toward the second substrate to perform display, a first polarizing plate provided on a side of the first substrate opposite the liquid crystal layer, the first polarizing plate having a transmission axis parallel or perpendicular to an alignment direction of the liquid crystal layer in the initial alignment state, a second polarizing plate provided on a side of the second substrate opposite the liquid crystal layer, the second polarizing plate having a transmission axis substantially perpendicular to the transmission axis of the first polarizing plate, a resin layer provided between the second substrate and the liquid crystal layer, the resin layer having:
