Abstract:
1. A liquid crystal display device, comprising: a first substrate; a second substrate; a liquid crystal layer sandwiched between the first substrate and the second substrate; transmissive display areas through which light incident from an outside of the first substrate is transmitted to perform transmissive display; reflective display areas from which light incident from an outside of the second substrate is reflected to perform reflective display; a thickness-adjusting layer to adjust a thickness of the liquid crystal layer, the thickness-adjusting layer being disposed between the liquid crystal layer and an inner surface of at least one of the first substrate and the second substrate, such that the liquid crystal layer is thinner in the reflective display areas than in the transmissive areas, the thickness-adjusting layer having a boundary area between thinner portions and thicker portions of the thickness-adjusting layer; and a reflective film disposed in the reflective display areas, the reflective film having a light-scattering surface including projections, an edge portion of the reflective film lying in the a boundary area of the thickness-adjusting layer, the edge portion of the reflective film having an upper surface serving as a mirror reflective surface.
