Patent ID: 8411237

Claim:
A liquid crystal display device, comprising: a liquid crystal layer disposed between a pair of substrates; a first display pixel corresponding to a color other than white or no color, the first display pixel including a transmissive region and a reflective region; a second display pixel corresponding to white or no color, the second display pixel including at least a transmissive region; a colored layer between the first display pixel and the second display pixel, the colored layer having a thickness and being selectively disposed in the first display pixel; a cell-thickness-adjusting layer disposed above at least one of the pair of substrates that controls a thickness of the liquid crystal layer; the cell-thickness-adjusting layer being disposed in the reflective region of the first display pixel and in the transmissive region of the second display pixel; wherein no cell-thickness-adjusting layer is provided in the transmissive region of the first display pixel; a thickness of the liquid crystal layer is thicker in the transmissive region of the second display pixel than in the reflective region of the first display pixel; wherein the thickness of the cell-thickness-adjusting layer that is provided in the reflective region of the first display pixel is equal to the thickness of the cell-thickness-adjusting layer that is provided in the transmissive region of the second display pixel.
