Patent ID: 7142269

Claim:
A method for manufacturing a color liquid crystal panel, said color liquid crystal panel having plural pixels, each having a thin film transistor therein, a reflective electrode connected to said thin film transistor, and a transparent electrode, said color liquid crystal panel being constructed such that a display surface of said color liquid crystal panel allows a light emitted from a backlight to exit from said display surface through said transparent electrode and another light inputted to said display surface to exit from said display surface after being reflected by said reflective electrode, said method for manufacturing said color liquid crystal panel comprising the steps of: preparing a photomask in such a manner that at least one opening is formed in said photomask so as to vary an area of said at least one opening depending on a color to be displayed; and forming a pattern in a raw material film constituting said color filter by using said photomask to make said color filter have at least one opening varying depending on a color to be displayed in a part thereof facing said reflective electrode, the at least one opening in said color filter having an area that is no more than 40% of an area of said reflective electrode.
