Patent ID: 6919944

Claim:
A liquid crystal display device comprising: a pair of substrates; and a liquid crystal layer held between the pair of substrates, the liquid crystal layer including at least two regions having different thicknesses from each other; wherein one of the two regions includes a reflective display region and the other of the two regions includes a transmissive display region, the reflective display region being provided with a reflection layer capable of reflecting light and a transmissive scattering layer capable of scattering light; wherein the thickness of the liquid crystal layer in the reflective display region is smaller than the thickness of the liquid crystal layer in the transmissive display region; and wherein one of the pair of substrates is an upper substrate, and the other of the pair of substrates is a lower substrate, and wherein the reflective display region includes the reflection layer, the transmissive scattering layer, a lower electrode, the liquid crystal layer, and an upper electrode in that order from the lower substrate side.
