Liquid crystal display device

Abstract

A liquid crystal display device is capable of preventing the picture quality from becoming poor in both transparent and reflective modes of operation. The liquid crystal display device 1 of the present invention includes first and second substrates 11 and 21 provided opposite to each other, a plurality of pixel electrodes 19 disposed on a surface of the first substrate 11 opposite to the second substrate 21, a common electrode 24 provided on a surface of the second substrate 21 opposite to the first substrate 11, a liquid crystal layer held between the first and second substrates 11 and 21, and the pixel electrodes 19 each having transparent and reflective portions 19a and 19b which are made of electrically conductive but optically reflective and transparent films 17 and 18, respectively, and are disposed in parallel. The reflective and transparent films 17 and 18 are electrically connected to each other, and a surface of the reflective film 17 on the second substrate side is coated with the same materials as the transparent film 18.
