Patent ID: 8547510

Claim:
A liquid crystal display panel for displaying an image by controlling an orientation direction of a liquid crystal mixture with respect to each pixel, comprising: a first common electrode formed on a first substrate; a second common electrode formed on a second substrate and includes a predetermined opening; and a pixel electrode formed on said second substrate, wherein said first substrate faces said second substrate so that said liquid crystal mixture with positive dielectric anisotropy is sandwiched between said first common electrode and said second common electrode, and wherein said orientation direction of said liquid crystal mixture changes mainly in a face parallel to said second substrate according to an electric field generated from electric potential of said first common electrode, said second common electrode, and said pixel electrode, wherein said pixel includes at least one transmissive display area for displaying an image by a transmitted light and at least one reflective display area for displaying an image by reflecting an incident light, wherein both areas of said transmissive display area and said reflective display area include said first common electrode, wherein said transmissive display area includes said first common electrode formed on said first substrate, and includes said second common electrode and said pixel electrode formed on said second substrate, and wherein said orientation direction of said liquid crystal mixture changes mainly in said face parallel to said second substrate according to an electric field generated from said electric potential of said first common electrode, said second common electrode, and said pixel electrode, wherein said reflective display area includes said first common electrode formed on said first substrate and a second pixel electrode formed on said second substrate, and wherein said orientation direction of said liquid crystal mixture changes mainly in said a face vertical to said second substrate according to an electric field generated from said electric potential of said first common electrode and said second pixel electrode.
