Patent ID: 8416378

Claim:
An LCD device comprising: a liquid crystal display panel that comprises a first substrate that has a plurality of pixels divided into a reflective portion and a transmissive portion therein, respectively, a second substrate that faces the first substrate, and a liquid crystal layer between the first substrate and the second substrate; and first polarizer disposed at an exterior surface of the first substrate, and a second polarizer disposed at an exterior surface of the second substrate, wherein light introduced into the reflective portion of the first substrate through the second substrate is reflected to the second substrate from the reflective portion, and light introduced into the transmissive portion of the first substrate transmits the first substrate so that images being displayed in both sides of the liquid crystal display panel, wherein a long axis of each liquid crystal molecules of the liquid crystal layer in the reflective portion is inclined by about 22.5 degrees with respect to a polarizing axis of the second polarizer when an electric field is generated between the first pixel electrode and the first common electrode, while aligned in parallel with the polarizing axis of the second polarizer when the electric field is not generated.
