Patent ID: 7456916

Claim:
A liquid crystal device comprising: a device substrate having a switching element; a counter substrate having a color layer; and a liquid crystal layer provided between the device substrate and the counter substrate, wherein the device substrate includes: a substrate; a sub-pixel including a reflective display region and a transmissive display region; a switching element; a conductive film connected to the switching element; a scattering layer that covers a part of the conductive film and the switching element; a reflecting layer provided on a part of the scattering layer; an overcoat layer that covers a part of the conductive film, the scattering layer, and the reflecting layer, the overcoat layer including a sloping section that slopes toward the substrate so that thickness of the overcoat gradually reduces to an edge portion of the overcoat layer located at a position between the reflective display region and the transmissive display region of the sub-pixel; and a pixel electrode provided on the overcoat layer, the pixel electrode being connected to a contact portion of the conductive film that extends beyond the scattering layer and beyond the edge portion of the sloping section of the overcoat layer.
