Patent ID: 8780025

Claim:
A display device comprising: a display area constituted of subpixels arranged in a matrix; some of the subpixels comprising light-transmissive regions, and some of subpixels constituted only of light-reflective regions of light reflecting layers; and patterns being displayed in the display area when the subpixels of the display device are in a non-driven state, through the use of light reflecting layers of at least two differing types in the subpixels constituted only of the light-reflective regions such that light reflectance properties for the two types of light reflecting layers are different from one another in a direction perpendicular to a plane of the display device, wherein the subpixels include a first subpixel provided with a white or transparent color filter and a second subpixel provided with a color filter of any one of at least three colors of red, green and blue, the first subpixel is constituted only of the light-reflective regions, and the second subpixel comprises the light-transmissive region and the light-reflective regions.
