Patent ID: 7768614

Claim:
A liquid crystal display device comprising: a first substrate; a second substrate; and liquid crystal sandwiched between the first substrate and the second substrate, wherein the first substrate includes a first electrode having at least one linear portion and a second electrode having at least one linear portion in the inside of a pixel region, as viewed in a plan view, the linear portion of the first electrode and the linear portion of the second electrode are alternately arranged in the inside of the pixel region, the liquid crystal is driven by an electric field generated between the first electrode and the second electrode, the pixel region includes a transmission region which performs a display by allowing light from a back surface side to pass therethrough and a reflection region which performs a display by reflecting light from a front surface side, and as viewed in a plan view, a gap between the linear portion of the first electrode and the linear portion of the second electrode in the reflection region is larger than a gap between the linear portion of the first electrode and the linear portion of the second electrode in the transmission region.
