Abstract

A liquid crystal display panel is provided with a light-transmitting array substrate, a light-transmitting counter substrate, and a liquid crystal layer LQ held between the array and counter substrates and including liquid crystal molecules whose arrangement is controlled from the array and counter substrates. The array substrate includes a transparent electrode which applies an electric field to the liquid crystal layer, a light-shielding wiring pattern having one or more apertures which allow transmission of light incident on the liquid crystal layer from the reverse side of the array substrate, and a reflection member which reflects incident light applied from a counter substrate side through the liquid crystal layer. Particularly, the reflection member overlaps the light-shielding wiring pattern such that the one or more apertures are left unmasked.

Dependent claims

A liquid crystal display panel comprising:

light-transmitting first and second electrode substrates;
and
a liquid crystal layer held between said first and second electrode substrates and containing liquid crystal molecules whose alignment is controlled from said first and second electrode substrates,
wherein said first electrode substrate includes:
an electrode which applies an electric field to said liquid crystal layer,
a thin film transistor formed as a switching element for said electrode,
a light-shielding wiring pattern having a plurality of memory wiring layers connected to said electrode and said thin film transistor, and one or more apertures which allow transmission of light from a rear side of said first electrode substrate, and
a reflection member which reflects incident light applied from a second electrode substrate side through said liquid crystal layer, and overlaps said light-shielding wiring pattern such that said one or more apertures are left unmasked.
