Transflective Liquid Crystal Display Device

A transflective liquid crystal display device comprising:

• a liquid crystal display panel having a pair of substrates;
• and liquid crystal sandwiched between the pair of substrates,
• the liquid crystal display panel including a plurality of sub pixels each having a transmissive part and a reflective part,
• each subpixel out of the plurality of subpixels including a pixel electrode which is formed on one substrate out of the pair of substrates and a counter electrode which is formed on the one substrate, and
• an electric field is generated by the pixel electrode and the counter electrode thus driving the liquid crystal, wherein
• another substrate out of the pair of substrates includes a step forming layer in a region which faces the reflective part in an opposed manner such that a layer thickness of the liquid crystal in the reflective part is set smaller than a layer thickness of the liquid crystal in the transmissive part,
• the pixel electrode includes comb-teeth electrodes, and
• a number of the comb-teeth electrodes of the pixel electrode is larger in the reflective part than in the transmissive part.
