Patent ID: 8031303

Claim:
A liquid crystal display device comprising: a pair of substrates; a liquid crystal layer interposed between the pair of substrates, the liquid crystal layer including a liquid crystal having a negative dielectric anisotropy; a plurality of dot regions each having a transmissive display region, and a reflective display region; a liquid-crystal-layer-thickness adjusting layer provided between the liquid crystal layer and at least one of the pair of substrates to provide the liquid crystal layer with a smaller thickness in the reflective display regions than in the transmissive display regions; and a color filter layer provided between the liquid crystal layer and at least one of the pair of substrates, the color filter layer including a plurality of colored layers having different colors, each of which correspond to a respective one of the dot regions; wherein colored regions in which the colored layers are formed and non-colored regions in which no-colored layers are formed are provided in the reflective display regions; and a plurality of dielectric projections are provided in the plurality of dot regions to regulate an alignment of the liquid crystal in the transmissive display regions and reflective display regions, one of the dielectric projections being arranged entirely inside one of the non-colored regions in plan view, and a gap is provided between a top of the at least one dielectric projection and the substrate which is opposed to the top of the at least one dielectric projection among the pair of substrates.
