Patent ID: 7256846

Claim:
A liquid crystal display device, comprising: a liquid crystal layer interposed between a pair of substrates, the liquid crystal layer including a liquid crystal having a negative dielectric anisotropy; a dot region in which a transmissive display region and a reflective display region are provided; a liquid crystal layer thickness-adjusting layer that makes a thickness of the liquid crystal layer in the reflective display region smaller than a thickness of the liquid crystal layer in the transmissive display region, the liquid crystal layer thickness-adjusting layer being formed between at least one substrate of the pair of substrates and the liquid crystal layer; a first convex portion made of dielectric material formed in the transmissive region; and a second convex portion that protrudes from an internal surface of at least one of the substrates to an inside of the liquid crystal layer, and in contact with the other of the substrates, the second convex portion being formed in a region where the liquid crystal layer thickness-adjusting layer is formed outside the dot region.
