Abstract:
1. A liquid crystal display device comprising, in sequence: a first substrate; a liquid crystal layer; and a second substrate, wherein the first substrate, the liquid crystal layer, and the second substrate are disposed in a subpixel having a transmissive portion for performing transmissive display and a reflective portion for performing reflective display, the first substrate includes a first electrode and a second electrode formed above the first electrode, the second substrate includes a third electrode, the first electrode is disposed in the transmissive portion and the reflective portion, the second electrode is disposed in the transmissive portion but not in the reflective portion, and the third electrode is disposed in the reflective portion, and alignment of the liquid crystal layer is controlled by an electric field occurring between the first electrode and the second electrode in the transmissive portion and by an electric field occurring between the first electrode and the third electrode in the reflective portion.
