Abstract:
1. A liquid crystal display device comprising: a first substrate; a second substrate opposing the first substrate; a liquid crystal layer disposed between the first and second substrates; a plurality of pixels; a reflective layer disposed between the first substrate and the liquid crystal layer, the reflective layer being located at a portion of each pixel so that the portion of each pixel is a reflection region of the pixel and another portion of each pixel other than the portion is a transmissive region of the pixel; a coloring layer disposed between the second substrate and the liquid crystal layer, the coloring layer having an edge; a substantially-transmissive protection layer disposed between the liquid crystal layer and the coloring layer, the protection layer covering at least a portion of the coloring layer, the protection layer including apertures that overlap the transmissive region of each pixel and cause the liquid crystal layer to be thicker in the transmissive region than in the reflection region; and a light-shielding film overlapping the edge of the coloring layer.
