Abstract:
1. A liquid crystal display, comprising: an element substrate having a pixel electrode and a switching element; an opposed substrate being opposite to the element substrate, the opposed substrate having a common electrode; a liquid crystal layer sandwiched between the element substrate and the opposed substrate, the liquid crystal layer exhibiting vertical alignment in initial alignment state; a transparent display area for transparent display; a separate reflective display area for reflective display in one dot area corresponding to the pixel electrode; an insulating film provided in at least the reflective display area, the insulating film making a thickness of the liquid crystal layer in the reflective display area and in the transparent display area different due to its film thickness, the insulating film including an inclined area in the vicinity of the boundary between the reflective display area and the transparent display area, the inclined area having an inclined plane so that its thickness continuously varies; and a contact hole electrically connecting the pixel electrode with the switching element on the element substrate, the contact hole being disposed in the position not overlapping the inclined area.
