Liquid crystal display unit

Abstract

To brighten a screen of a liquid crystal display device in the case of reflection type display and increase the planarity of a color filter substrate surface to improve a display quality. The liquid crystal display device according to the present invention includes a reflective film formed between a colored layer of a color filter and a liquid crystal layer to thereby prevent an incident light in the case of reflection type display from passing through the colored layer. A color display is available in the case of transmission type display, and a black-and-white display is available in the case of reflection type display; an image formed with light not passing through the colored layer is viewed in the case of reflection type display to thereby ensure a brightness in the case of reflection type display. In addition, the reflective film can be formed to be thin and therefore the planarity of the color filter substrate surface can be improved.
