Patent ID: 7605890

Claim:
A transflective device comprising: a first substrate; a second substrate; a liquid crystal layer held between the first substrate and the second substrate; a pixel region including a reflective display region and a transmissive display region, the transmissive display region being located in a region of the pixel region other than where the reflective display region is located; a light-reflecting layer including the reflective display region; a thickness-adjusting layer setting the thickness of the liquid crystal layer in the reflective display regions to be smaller than the thickness of the liquid crystal layer in the transmissive display regions, the thickness-adjusting layer including a slope proximate a region between the transmissive region and the reflective region, and the thickness-adjusting layer being disposed on one substrate of either of the first substrate and the second substrate; a transmissive-display color filter in the transmissive display region; and a reflective-display color filter that is a separate layer from the transmissive-display color filter, the reflective-display color filter being located in the reflective display region and extending beyond an edge of the reflective layer into the transmissive display region, and the transmissive-display color filter and the reflective-display color filter being disposed on the one substrate and placed at a viewer side of the light-reflecting layer.
