Patent ID: 7133104

Claim:
A transflective liquid crystal display device, comprising: a thin film transistor disposed at a corner of a pixel region, the thin film transistor including a gate electrode, a semiconductor layer, a source electrode, and a drain electrode; a reflector disposed in the pixel region and spaced apart from the thin film transistor, the reflector formed of the same material as one of the gate, source, and drain electrodes; a color filter disposed within the pixel region, the color filter having one of red, green, and blue colors; a black matrix over the thin film transistor corresponding to color filter borders of adjacent pixel regions; and a pixel electrode formed of a transparent conductive material adjacent to the color filter, the pixel electrode having a first end portion contacting the drain electrode of the thin film transistor, wherein the pixel region is divided into a reflective portion including the reflector and a transmissive portion absent of the reflector, and wherein the pixel electrode includes a first transparent pixel electrode and a second transparent pixel electrode, the first transparent pixel electrode is disposed between the black matrix and the color filter and contacts the drain electrode, and the second transparent pixel electrode is on the pixel electrode to contact the first transparent pixel electrode.
