Patent ID: 8115893

Claim:
A liquid crystal display device, comprising: a first substrate; a gate line on the first substrate; a first insulation film on the gate line; a data line crossing the gate line such that the data line and the gate line define a pixel region with a transmission area and a reflection area; a thin film transistor connected to the gate line and the data line; a storage capacitor including a storage line crossing the data line, and an upper storage electrode being connected to the thin film transistor and overlapping the storage line; a second insulation film on the thin film transistor, a transmission hole being defined through the second insulation film; a reflection electrode contacted with the first insulation film and the second insulation film without contacting with an upper surface of the first substrate exposed through the transmission hole in the reflection area and connected to a portion of the upper storage electrode through the transmission hole; a pixel electrode disposed in the pixel region and connected to the reflection electrode, a lower surface of the pixel electrode being directly contacted with an entire surface of the reflection electrode exposed through the transmission hole in the reflection area and an entire surface of the substrate exposed through the transmission hole in the transmission area; a second substrate facing the first substrate; and a liquid crystal layer disposed between the first and second substrates.
