Patent ID: 7227604

Claim:
A reflective liquid crystal display device, comprising a pixel electrode substrate and a transparent electrode substrate facing each other with a vertically aligned liquid crystal in between, wherein the pixel electrode substrate includes: a plurality of reflective pixel electrodes; a first obliquely evaporated alignment film formed through evaporation from a first oblique evaporation direction with respect to a substrate surface of the pixel electrode substrate after forming the pixel electrodes; and a second obliquely evaporated alignment film, formed through evaporation from a second oblique evaporation direction with respect to the substrate surface of the pixel electrode substrate after forming the first obliquely evaporated alignment film, wherein, the first obliquely evaporated alignment film is formed on the whole top surfaces of the pixel electrodes and a first side surface of a groove portion between adjacent pixel electrodes in a sectional surface of the pixel electrode substrate in a thickness direction through evaporation, the second obliquely evaporated alignment film is formed on the whole top surfaces of the pixel electrodes with the first obliquely evaporated alignment film in between and a second side surface facing the first side surface in the groove portion between the adjacent pixel electrodes in the sectional surface of the pixel electrode substrate in the thickness direction through evaporation, each of the pixel electrodes has a square shape, and the first oblique evaporation direction or the second oblique evaporation direction, as projected onto the surface, is along a diagonal of the pixel electrodes, obliquely inclined in the substrate surface with respect to the pixel electrode substrate, and parallel to the alignment direction of the vertically aligned liquid crystal.
