Patent ID: 7952673

Claim:
A display device comprising: on one substrate out of a pair of substrates which are arranged to face each other with liquid crystal therebetween pixel electrodes and counter electrodes are formed; wherein video signals are supplied to each of the pixel electrodes; wherein the counter electrode generates an electric field between the counter electrode and the pixel electrode; wherein the display device includes transmissive regions and reflective regions; wherein an uppermost layer electrode is formed as an upper portion of one of the counter electrode and the pixel electrode; wherein a distance from the substrate to the uppermost layer electrode formed of the one of the counter electrode and the pixel electrode is set larger in the reflective regions than in the transmissive regions; and wherein a planar distance between adjacent parts of the one of the counter electrode and the pixel electrode forming the uppermost layer electrode is set larger in the transmissive regions than in the reflective regions.
