Patent ID: 7532280

Claim:
A liquid crystal display device comprising: a liquid crystal display panel, wherein a liquid crystal is supported by being sandwiched between a pair of electrode substrates, the liquid crystal panel comprising a plurality of pixel regions formed two-dimensionally thereon, each pixel region has at least one transmissive display region and at least one reflective display region, the transmissive display region is, in at least one side thereof, adjacent to a transmissive display region of an adjacent pixel region without interposing the reflective display region therebetween, the reflective display region is, in at least one side thereof, adjacent to a reflective display region of an adjacent pixel region without interposing the transmissive display region therebetween, an inter-pixel region lying between the adjacent transmissive display regions and an inter-pixel region lying between the adjacent reflective display regions lie in a same straight line, and a black matrix is formed above the inter-pixel regions lying between the adjacent transmissive display regions and lying between the adjacent reflective display regions, wherein the black matrix is formed to have multiple widths so that the black matrix has a larger width at, as viewed from above, the inter-pixel region lying between the adjacent transmissive display regions and has a smaller width at, as viewed from above, the inter-pixel region lying between the adjacent reflective display regions.
