Patent ID: 7714962

Claim:
A liquid crystal display device comprising: a first substrate on which a pixel electrode is formed for each pixel, the pixel electrode being connected to a thin film transistor; and a second substrate disposed to face the first substrate via a liquid crystal layer with liquid crystals having negative dielectric anisotropy; wherein the pixel electrode comprises a plurality of electrode portions divided by slits and a continuing portion which connects the plurality of electrode portions, wherein the slits expose an insulating film from the pixel electrode; wherein at least one region corresponding to at least one electrode portion, among the plurality of electrode portions, is set to be a transmissive display region which passes light to the second substrate, the light being incident from the first substrate to the liquid crystal layer, wherein a region corresponding to a remaining electrode portion, among the plurality of electrode portions, is set to be a reflective display region which reflects light to the second substrate, the light being incident from the second substrate to the liquid crystal layer; wherein the at least one electrode portion corresponding to the transmissive display region is arranged so as to have a bottom surface thereof in contact with the insulating film; and wherein the remaining electrode portion corresponding to the reflective display region is arranged so as to have an entire bottom surface thereof in contact with the insulating film.
