Patent ID: 7538845

Claim:
A liquid crystal display device comprising: a first substrate; a second substrate; and liquid crystal sandwiched between the first substrate and the second substrate, wherein the first substrate includes a first electrode having a plurality of linear portions and a second electrode having a planar portion in the inside of a pixel region, the liquid crystal is driven by an electric field generated between the first electrode and the second electrode, the linear portions of the first electrode are arranged above the planar portion of the second electrode in an overlapped manner by way of an insulation film, the pixel region includes a transmission region which performs a display by allowing light from a back surface side to pass therethrough and a reflection region which performs a display by reflecting light from a front surface side, and as viewed in a plan view, a gap between the neighboring linear portions of the first electrode in the reflection region is larger than a gap of the neighboring linear portions of the first electrode in the transmission region.
