Transflective liquid crystal display devices and fabrication methods thereof

A method for fabricating a transflective liquid crystal display device, comprising:

• providing a first substrate with a reflective region and a transmissive region;
• forming a reflector on the reflective region of the first substrate, wherein a first recess is formed in the transmissive region;
• conformably forming a first alignment layer on the first substrate, wherein a second recess is formed in the transmissive region;
• forming a second alignment layer on the first alignment layer and filling the second recess;
• assembling a second substrate opposing the first substrate;
• and
• filling a liquid crystal layer between the first and the second substrates;
• wherein the pre-tilt angles and orientations of liquid crystal molecules on the first alignment layer and on the second alignment layer are different.

A method for fabricating a transflective liquid crystal display device, comprising:

• providing a first substrate with a reflective region and a transmissive region;
• forming a reflector on the reflective region of the first substrate, wherein a first recess is formed in the transmissive region;
• simultaneously forming a first alignment layer in the first recess and forming a second alignment layer on the reflector;
• assembling a second substrate opposing the first substrate;
• and
• filling a liquid crystal layer between the first and the second substrates;
• wherein the pre-tilt angles and orientations of liquid crystal molecules on the first alignment layer and on the second alignment layer are different.
