Patent ID: 7738062

Claim:
A liquid crystal display comprising: a pair of substrates provided opposite to each other; a liquid crystal sealed between the pair of substrates; a plurality of pixel regions each having a reflective area which reflects light from the side of one of the pair of substrates and a transmissive area which transmits light from the side of the other of the pair of substrates toward the one of the pair of substrates; and an ultraviolet-hardened material which is a product of polymerization of a polymeric component mixed in the liquid crystal with ultraviolet light and which is mainly formed in the neighborhood of an interface between the liquid crystal and the pair of substrates to change the anchoring energy of a part of the liquid crystal in the pixel region, wherein a cell thickness in the reflective area is substantially equal to a cell thickness in the transmissive area, and wherein the ultraviolet-hardened material is formed in one of the reflective area and the transmissive area.
