Substrate for a liquid crystal device, method of manufacturing a substrate for a liquid crystal device, a liquid crystal device, a method of manufacturing a liquid crystal device , and an electronic apparatus

A substrate for a liquid crystal device that is one of a pair of substrates sandwiching a liquid crystal and that is positioned opposite from a viewing-side substrate, comprising a base and a light reflecting film formed on said base;

• wherein at lease one of a plurality of convexities and a plurality of concavities are formed and arranged in a reflecting pattern on said surface of said light reflecting film;
• and
• with respect to an amount of light reflected on said reflection pattern, a profile of the amount of light along one of two orthogonal axes that pass through said convexities or said valleys is different from the profile of the amount of light along the other of the two orthogonal axes.

A method of manufacturing a substrate for a liquid crystal device comprising the steps of:

• forming a light reflecting film on a surface of the base, and
• employing a mask to form at least one of a plurality of convexities and a plurality of concavities on the surface of said light reflecting film;
• wherein a shape of a mask pattern of said mask for said convexities or said concavities along one axis of two orthogonal axes that pass through said convexities or concavities is different from the shape that extends along the other axis.

A liquid crystal display device comprising:

• a pair of substrates, one substrate including a light reflecting film having a pattern that displays light directivity and light scattering;
• and
• a liquid crystal sandwiched between the pair of substrates.
