Patent ID: 8208103

Claim:
A liquid crystal display device having pixel electrodes, each pixel electrode including a transmissive pixel electrode and a reflective pixel electrode formed in a part of the transmissive pixel electrode, the liquid crystal display device comprising: an array substrate including the pixel electrodes formed thereon to provide a display region; an opposing substrate arranged to be opposed to the array substrate; a frame region surrounding the display region, wherein a sealing material is provided in the frame region, the sealing material bonding the array substrate with the opposing substrate; an organic film formed on the array substrate, the organic film having a thick film portion provided below the pixel electrodes, and a thin film portion that is provided outside the thick film portion and between the pixel electrodes; a columnar spacer formed on the opposing substrate, the columnar spacer holding substrate gap between the array substrate and the opposing substrate; and a gap retaining pad formed in the region outside the display region and inside the sealing material, the gap retaining pad adjusting the substrate gap outside the display region according to the substrate gap on the pixel electrodes, wherein the columnar spacer holds the substrate gap between the array substrate and the opposing substrate over the gap retaining pad, and over the pixel electrodes.
