Patent ID: 7609345

Claim:
A substrate for a liquid crystal display comprising: a base substrate that sandwiches a liquid crystal in combination with a counter substrate provided counter thereto; a plurality of bus lines formed on the base substrate such that they intersect with each other with an insulation film interposed therebetween; thin film transistors formed in the vicinity of positions where the plurality of bus lines intersect with each other; a planarization film formed on the base substrate; and a plurality of pixel regions constituted of a plurality of reflective regions in which reflective electrodes for reflecting incident light from the side of the top surface of the base substrate are formed in the form of a matrix on the planarization film, and transmissive regions which are formed by providing openings in the reflective electrodes and the planarization film in the reflective regions, without transparent electrodes in the openings, the transmissive regions transmitting incident light from the side of a bottom surface of the base substrate toward the top surface of the base substrate, wherein the openings have a configuration to regulate alignment of liquid crystal molecules.
