Patent ID: 7616281

Claim:
A liquid crystal display device, comprising: a first substrate; a second substrate; a liquid crystal layer interposed between the first substrate and the second substrate, the liquid crystal layer being formed of liquid crystal with a negative dielectric anisotropy; a transmissive display area for transmissive display and a reflective display area for reflective display provided in one dot area; an electrode to drive the liquid crystal in the transmissive display area, the electrode being provided with at least one of an opening portion formed by making an opening portion in the electrode and a convex-shaped portion made of a dielectric substance formed on the electrode, the at least one of the opening portion and the convex-shaped portion serving as an alignment regulator to regulate alignment of the liquid crystal; and a light blocking film disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate at a position that overlaps the at least one of the opening portions and the convex-shaped portion in plan view, the light blocking film being made of a reflective film.
