Patent ID: 7212267

Claim:
A liquid crystal display device, comprising: a first substrate; a second substrate; a liquid crystal layer provided between the first substrate and the second substrate; a plurality of picture element regions for displaying an image, wherein: each of the plurality of picture element regions includes a transmission region in which image is displayed in a transmission mode by using light that is coming from a side of the first substrate, and a reflection region in which image is displayed in a reflection mode by using light that is coming from a side of the second substrate; a height of a surface of the second substrate on a side closer to the liquid crystal layer in the reflection region is greater than that in the transmission region; the second substrate includes a transparent substrate, a color filter layer provided on one side of the transparent substrate that is closer to the liquid crystal layer, a first transparent dielectric layer formed on the transparent substrate in at least a portion of the reflection region, wherein the first transparent dielectric layer is at least partially covered by the color filter layer and/or at least partially surrounded by the color filter layer on at least two lateral sides thereof, and a second transparent dielectric layer is provided in the reflection region so as to be located closer to the liquid crystal layer than are the first transparent dielectric layer and the color filter layer; and an alignment film is provided between at least the liquid crystal layer and the second transparent dielectric layer.
