Patent ID: 8368861

Claim:
A liquid crystal display device comprising a plurality of pixels arrayed in a first direction and a second direction, each of the pixels having a reflective area in at least a portion thereof, wherein said reflective area comprises a surface-irregularity film that is a film having a plurality of surface irregularities, a light reflecting film disposed as an upper layer over the surface-irregularity film, and a group of electrode-pattern pairs for generating an electric field to drive liquid crystal, which is disposed as an upper layer over the light reflecting film and is arranged in a plane parallel to substrates sandwiching the liquid crystal molecules therebetween, and wherein said group of electrode-pattern pairs comprises at least two types of electrode-pattern pairs having different electrode intervals, in said reflective area in each of the pixels that are arrayed in at least the first direction, said at least two types of electrode-pattern pairs exist and are arrayed in said first direction, and combinations of said at least two types of electrode-pattern pairs in each of the pixels are the same, whereas permutations of said at least two types of electrode-pattern pairs in each of the pixels are periodically changed with respect to each of the pixels that are arrayed in said first direction.
