Patent ID: 7738060

Claim:
A liquid crystal display panel comprising: a first substrate; a second substrate deployed facing said first substrate; a liquid crystal layer with negative dielectric anisotropy disposed between said first substrate and second substrate; pixels that are disposed on said first substrate in a matrix and that each have at least a reflective section; switching elements that are disposed on said first substrate so as to correspond to each pixel; an interlayer insulator that covers said switching elements; a contact hole that is formed in said interlayer insulator; a pixel electrode that is formed over said interlayer insulator and that is electrically connected to said switching elements via said contact hole; a common electrode that is provided on said second substrate; protrusions that are formed on said common electrode in positions corresponding to each pixel and that control the inclination of the liquid crystal molecules; and perpendicular alignment layers that are deposited over the first and second substrates respectively; said protrusions being disposed at least in a position facing said contact hole, and light-blocking films that cover the bases of said protrusions as viewed from above being formed on said second substrate and the size of said light-blocking films being identical to or larger than the bases of said protrusions and the size of the bases of said protrusions being larger than the size of said contact hole.
