Abstract:
1. A reflection-type liquid crystal display device having a plurality of pixels, comprising: a liquid crystal layer whose state is switchable between a light-transmitting state in which light is transmitted through the liquid crystal layer and a light-scattering state in which light is scattered by the liquid crystal layer; a front substrate and a rear substrate between which the liquid crystal layer is held; a pair of electrodes between which the liquid crystal layer is interposed and which are configured to apply a voltage across the liquid crystal layer; and first and second alignment films respectively provided between the liquid crystal layer and the front substrate and between the liquid crystal layer and the rear substrate, wherein the liquid crystal layer includes, in each of the pixels, a continuous wall, a plurality of small sections separated by the wall, and a plurality of liquid crystal regions, each of which is formed in any one of the plurality of small sections, and the plurality of liquid crystal regions include first and second liquid crystal regions which have directors in a plane parallel to the liquid crystal layer, and the directors of the first and second liquid crystal regions are oriented in different directions.
