Patent ID: 6862057

Claim:
An active-matrix addressed reflective liquid crystal display, which comprises: a first substrate that is transparent; a second substrate; a tower insulation film formed on said second substrate; a plurality of switching elements, respectively provided for each pixel; an insulation layer having a surface irregularly configured; a reflection film formed on said insulation layer and having an irregularly configured surface depending on the irregular surface of said insulation layer; a liquid crystal layer provided between said first substrate and said reflection film; an upper electrode between said insulation layer and said lower insulation film, said upper electrode being provided for each pixel and located in a region wherein said reflection film is provided, said upper electrode being electrically coupled to a source electrode of the switching element; and a lower electrode provided between said second substrate and said lower insulation film, said lower electrode forming a storage capacitance with said upper electrode; wherein the irregularly configured surface of said insulation layer comprises: a plurality of substantially linear projections; and a plurality of recesses surrounded by the substantially linear projections.
