Abstract:
1. A liquid crystal display device, comprising: a pair of substrates each having an electrode on one side; and a liquid crystal layer disposed between the substrates with the electrodes therebetween, the substrates and the liquid crystal layer defining dot regions, each of the dot regions including a transmissive display region for transmissive display and a reflective display region for reflective display, the liquid crystal layer containing liquid crystal that has a negative anisotropy, and a thickness thereof differs between the transmissive display region and the reflective display region, at least one of the electrodes of the substrates including, in the dot region, a plurality of islands and a connecting portion that electrically couples adjoining islands, and the islands including an integral number of island in each of the transmissive display region and the reflective display region, and a boundary sloping area being provided on inner sides of the substrates to make the thickness of the liquid crystal layer different between the transmissive display region and the reflective display region, and the connecting portion of the electrode being disposed in a region that overlaps with the boundary sloping area, when seen in a direction perpendicular to the liquid crystal device.
