Patent ID: 8289483

Claim:
A method for manufacturing a semi-transmissive-type liquid crystal display device comprising a first substrate including a plurality of signal electrodes being arranged in parallel to one another along a first direction, a plurality of scanning electrodes being arranged in parallel to one another along a second direction orthogonal to said first direction and a plurality of pixel regions each having a pixel electrode being placed in a one-to-one correspondence to an intersection between each of said signal electrodes and each of said scanning electrodes; a second substrate; a liquid crystal layer inserted between said first substrate and said second substrate; a backlight; source to feed light to said liquid crystal layer; and wherein each of said pixel regions includes a reflective region having a reflective film to receive ambient light from an outside and to display in a reflective mariner while being in a reflective display mode, and a transmissive region having a transmissive electrode film to allow light from said backlight source to be transmitted to display in a transmissive manner at time of operation in a transmissive display mode, said method comprising: a first process of forming said reflective film making up said reflective region on a surface of said first substrate facing said second substrate, said first substrate and said second substrate having a first gap there between in said reflective region; and a second process of forming said transparent electrode film making up said transmissive region in a manner that said transparent electrode film covers part or all of said reflective film, said first substrate and said second substrate having a second gap there between in said transmissive region, wherein said first gap is set to be approximately 70% of said second gap, and wherein a twisted angle of said liquid crystal is set to about 60Â° in both said transmissive region and said reflective region.
