Abstract:
1. A liquid crystal display, comprising: a liquid crystal layer of a nematic liquid crystal with positive anisotropy of dielectric constant held between a pair of substrates, areas used for the display in the liquid crystal layer further comprise individual areas including at least a reflective display unit having a reflective surface disposed thereon and a transmissive display unit, the thickness, dh, of the liquid crystal layer corresponding to the reflective display unit being smaller than the thickness, dt, of the liquid crystal layer corresponding to the transmissive display unit, dh and dt satisfying the equation 1.8 dh≦dt≦2.4 dh, recessed portions facing the liquid crystal layer of the transmissive display unit being formed on the other substrate facing the substrate having said reflective surface, and the thickness of the liquid crystal layer corresponding to the reflective display unit being smaller than the thickness of the liquid crystal layer corresponding to the transmissive display unit.
