Patent ID: 8199298

Claim:
A liquid crystal device comprising: a pair of substrates with a liquid crystal layer interposed therebetween, wherein a reflective display region for reflective display and a transmissive display region for transmissive display are provided in a subpixel region, a retardation film is provided in a region of a first one of the pair of substrates corresponding to the reflective display region, and a resin layer is provided in a region of a second one of the pair of substrates corresponding to the reflective display region, the retardation film and the resin layer both protruding toward the liquid crystal layer to reduce a thickness of the liquid crystal layer in the reflective display region, the retardation film has a layered structure of a plurality of liquid crystal material layers with a first alignment film interposed therebetween, and a second alignment film formed on an inner surface of the retardation film and that coats the entire surface of the reflective display region and the transmissive display region, wherein alignment directions of each of the plurality of liquid crystal material layers are in parallel with alignment-directions of the other liquid crystal material layer, wherein the resin layer has an uneven resin layer surface, and a reflecting layer is formed on the resin layer and has an uneven reflecting layer surface following the uneven surface of the resin layer, and wherein a common electrode is provided directly on the uneven reflecting layer surface of the reflecting layer, an interlayer insulating film is provided on the common electrode, and an pixel electrode is provided on the interlayer insulating film, and each of the common electrode, interlayer insulating film and pixel electrode are formed in both the reflective display region and the transmissive display region.
