Patent ID: 7345720

Claim:
A liquid crystal display device comprising: a first transparent substrate; a second transparent substrate facing said first transparent substrate in spaced-apart relationship; a color filter formed at said second transparent substrate and passing light; and a liquid crystal layer between said first transparent substrate and said second transparent substrate, wherein, said first transparent substrate comprises a plurality of diffusion reflectors projecting from a surface of said first transparent substrate for diffusing and reflecting front light incident from said second transparent substrate side via said color filter and said liquid crystal layer, said diffusion reflectors being formed in an uneven distribution across the surface of the first transparent substrate and being spaced apart from each other along said first transparent substrate, said first transparent substrate provides a transparent window for passing light surrounding said diffusion reflectors at portions from which said diffusion reflectors do not project, said color filter is formed with color filter apertures formed so as to pass light at positions facing said diffusion reflectors, and each one of said plurality of diffusion reflectors is formed by a first reflecting underlayer formed on said first transparent substrate in said uneven distribution, a second reflecting underlayer formed on the first reflecting underlayer and having a curved upper surface, and a projecting curved third reflecting layer formed on the second reflecting underlayer.
