Patent ID: 6894745

Claim:
A liquid crystal display device comprising: a first substrate; a second substrate; a liquid crystal layer disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate; and a plurality of pixel regions for display, wherein each of the plurality of pixel regions includes a transmission region for display in a transmission mode using light entering through the first substrate and a reflection region for display in a reflection mode using light entering through the second substrate, the first substrate includes, on a surface thereof facing the liquid crystal layer, a transparent electrode region defining the transmission region and a reflection electrode region defining the reflection region, each surface facing the liquid crystal layer of the transparent electrode region and the reflection electrode region of the first substrate being flat, the second substrate includes a light diffusion layer in the reflection region and includes, on a surface thereof facing the liquid crystal layer, a transparent electrode in the reflection region and the transmission region, the surface thereof facing the liquid crystal layer being flat in the transmission region and the reflection region, and wherein the second substrate includes the light diffusion layer in the reflection region alone.
