Patent ID: 7298439

Claim:
A transflective liquid crystal device comprising: a first substrate; a second substrate; a liquid crystal layer held between the first substrate and the second substrate; at least one electrode formed on one side of the liquid crystal layer; a plurality of electrodes formed on another side of the liquid crystal layer; a plurality of pixel regions each including a reflective display region and a transmissive display region; a light-reflecting layer located in the reflective display regions of the pixel regions; reflective-display color filters in the reflective display regions; transmissive-display color filters in the transmissive display regions, each of the transmissive-display color filters being a separate layer from a corresponding one of the reflective-display color filters; and a thickness-adjusting layer setting the thickness of the liquid crystal layer in at least a portion of each of the reflective display regions to be smaller than the thickness of the liquid crystal layer in at least a portion of each of the transmissive display regions, wherein slopes are formed in the thickness-adjusting layer at least at a transition between each reflective display region and transmissive display region, at least a portion of the reflective-display color filters and the transmissive-display color filters overlapping each other at at least a portion of the slopes in plan view.
