Liquid crystal display device and electronic equipment

A liquid crystal display device, comprising:

• a pair of substrates;
• a liquid crystal layer held between the substrates and having a transmissive display region for transmissive display and a reflective display region for reflective display in each of a plurality of dot regions,
• the liquid crystal layer including a liquid crystal being initially vertically aligned and having negative dielectric anisotropy, and the pair of substrates each having an electrode to drive the liquid crystal arranged on a surface facing the liquid crystal layer,
• the electrode of at least one of the pair of substrates having a slit opening and/or a protrusion to control the alignment of the liquid crystal in each of the transmissive display region and the reflective display region, the slit opening being arranged through a part of the electrode, and the protrusion being arranged on the electrode and including a dielectric,
• the opening area of the slit opening and/or the occupying area of the dielectric protrusion in a plane direction of the substrate being set larger in the reflective display region than in the transmissive display region.
