Liquid crystal display with red, green, blue, and white subpixels having reflective and transmissive areas

A liquid crystal display, comprising:

• first and second substrates;
• a liquid crystal layer interposed between the first and second substrates;
• a pixel comprising first to fourth sub-pixels capable of respectively displaying red, green, blue, and white, each sub-pixel of the first to fourth sub-pixels comprising a reflective area and a transmissive area arranged in an adjacent area to the reflective area in a horizontal direction;
• a switching element provided on the first substrate to correspond to each sub-pixel;
• a reflective film provided in the reflective area above the switching element with an insulating film interposed in-between;
• a pixel electrode provided in the reflective area and the transmissive area above the reflective film with an insulating film interposed in-between;
• a red filter, a green filter, a blue filter, and a white filter provided on the second substrate to correspond to the first to fourth sub-pixels, respectively;
• a first laminated member provided on an opposite side of the first substrate with respect to the liquid crystal layer, the first laminated member comprising a first retardation plate and a first polarizer;
• and
• a second laminated member provided on an opposite side of the second substrate with respect to the liquid crystal layer, the second laminated member comprising a second retardation plate, a diffusion member for diffusing light, and a second polarizer.
