Transflective liquid crystal device and electronic apparatus using the same

A transflective liquid crystal device comprising:

• a first substrate having first transparent electrodes on a surface thereof;
• a second substrate having second transparent electrodes on a surface thereof, the second transparent electrodes opposing the first transparent electrodes;
• and
• a liquid crystal layer held between the first substrate and the second substrate,
• wherein the first substrate includes:
• a light-reflecting layer defining reflective display regions in pixel regions where the first transparent electrodes oppose the second transparent electrodes and transmissive display regions in the regions of the pixel regions other than the reflective display regions;
• a thickness-adjusting layer setting the thickness of the liquid crystal layer in the reflective display regions to be smaller than the thickness of the liquid crystal layer in the transmissive display regions;
• and the first transparent electrodes, in that order, in the upward direction, and
• wherein slopes are formed in the thickness-adjusting layer at a transition between each reflective display region and transmissive display region;
• and
• edges of the light-reflecting layer adjacent the transmissive display regions are substantially aligned with bottom edges of the slopes of the thickness-adjusting layer.
