Patent ID: 7113238

Claim:
A liquid crystal display device, comprising: a pair of substrates; a liquid crystal layer interposed between the pair of substrates, the liquid crystal layer being formed of liquid crystal with a negative dielectric anisotropy; transmissive display areas for transmissive display and reflective display areas for reflective display provided in one dot area; electrodes to drive the liquid crystal formed on liquid crystal sides of the pair of substrates, electrodes of at least one substrate of the pair of substrates being provided with at least one of opening portions formed by making opening portions in parts of the electrodes or convex-shaped portions made of a dielectric substance formed on the electrodes, the at least one of the opening portions or the convex-shaped portions serving as alignment regulators to regulate alignment of the liquid crystal; and a reflective film disposed between the pair of substrates at positions that two-dimensionally overlap the transmissive display areas and the at least one of the opening portions or the convex-shaped portions in plan view.
