Patent ID: 8411236

Claim:
A transflective liquid crystal display device, comprising: a first substrate including a plurality of pixel regions, each of the pixel regions having a transmissive portion and a reflective portion, the pixel regions being arranged such that both sides of the transmissive portion of one pixel region adjoin directly to the reflective portions of the other pixel regions adjacent to one pixel region; a gate line on the first substrate along a first direction; first and second data lines along a second direction transverse to the first direction and crossing the gate line, each of the first and second data lines including first and second bent portions, a distance between the first bent portions in the first direction being greater than a distance between the second bent portions in the first direction; an organic layer formed over the gate line and the first and second data lines; a switching device connected to the gate line and one of the first and second data lines; a transparent pixel electrode formed in the transmissive portion and connected to the switching device; a reflective layer formed in the reflective portions, the reflective layer having an open portion that exposes the transparent pixel electrode on the transmissive portion, the reflective layer covering the gate line and the first and second data lines, the organic layer covered by the reflective layer having a step profile at a side portion along a periphery of the organic layer; and a liquid crystal layer between the first substrate and a second substrate, wherein the transparent pixel electrode occupies a first space between the first bent portions of the first and second data lines, and the reflective layer occupies a second space between the second bent portions of the first and second data lines, and wherein a maximum width of the transparent pixel electrode in the open portion is larger than a maximum width of the reflective layer.
