Patent ID: 7663716

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; a first dot region including a transmissive display region and a reflective display region, the first dot region including two long edges and two short edges, the long edges each being longer than each of the short edges; a second dot region; a thickness adjustment layer disposed between the liquid crystal layer and at least one of the first substrate and the second substrate, the thickness adjustment layer decreasing the thickness of the liquid crystal layer in the reflective display region compared with the thickness of the liquid crystal layer in the transmissive display region, the thickness adjustment layer having an inclined region disposed at a position in between and separated at a distance from the short edges of the first dot region; and a metal signal line that supplies signals to the first and second dot regions, the metal signal line being disposed over the second substrate, the metal signal line extending across both of the long edges of the first dot region at the position in between and separated from the short edges of the first dot region so as to overlap, in plan view, the inclined region of the thickness adjustment layer.
