Patent ID: 7826015

Claim:
A liquid crystal display device including a liquid crystal display panel, comprising: a first substrate, the first substrate including: an active element; a first insulating film formed on the active element; a plurality of first electrodes disposed on the first insulating film; a second insulating film disposed on the first electrodes; and a pixel electrode disposed on the second insulating film; a second substrate; and liquid crystal interposed between the first and second substrates, wherein the liquid crystal display panel has a plurality of subpixels; each of the plurality of subpixels has a transmission section and a reflection section; the pixel electrode is shared by the transmission section and the reflection section in each of the subpixels; the first electrodes are divided into a first electrode for the transmission section in the transmission section and a first electrode for the reflection section in the reflection section; the first electrode for the transmission section and the first electrode for the reflection section being insulated from each other; a voltage different from the first electrode for the reflection section is applied to the first electrode for the transmission section; the pixel electrode is electrically coupled to the active element via a portion defining a contact hole formed in a portion defining a clearance between the first electrode for the transmission section and the first electrode for the reflection section in each of the subpixels.
