Abstract:
1. A display device comprising: a liquid crystal layer; a transparent electrode arranged on a side of the liquid crystal layer on which ambient light is incident; a reflective electrode arranged on a side of the liquid crystal layer opposite to the transparent electrode and reflecting light reaching from the liquid crystal layer, the reflective electrode being divided into a plurality of pixel electrodes formed for each pixel, each pixel being formed of one of the pixel electrodes, the transparent electrode, and the liquid crystal layer interposed therebetween, the reflective electrode having a plurality of openings formed around the respective pixel electrodes; a drive circuit for controlling a voltage applied to the pixel electrode and the transparent electrode to drive each pixel; and a controller for controlling an operation of the drive circuit, wherein the pixel is configured to the drive circuit is configured to perform switching in accordance with a video signal such that a voltage for displaying white or black is applied between the pixel electrode and the transparent electrode, and the controller is configured to switch a mode between
