Liquid cyrstal display device

A liquid crystal display device having a liquid crystal display panel which sandwiches a liquid crystal material between a first substrate having a pixel electrode and a second substrate having a counter electrode, wherein

• the first substrate includes an orientation control projection which is formed by forming a conductive film on the second substrate, by forming an insulation film on the conductive film and, thereafter, by patterning the insulation film, and
• a light shielding layer which is formed by patterning the conductive film using the orientation control projection as a mask.

A liquid crystal display device which includes a liquid crystal display panel which sandwiches a liquid crystal material between a first substrate having a pixel electrode and a second substrate having a counter electrode, and the first substrate includes a step forming layer which forms two thicknesses as a thickness of a layer of the liquid crystal material between the counter electrode and the pixel electrode and a reflective layer which is arranged in a region where the reflective layer is overlapped to the step forming layer, wherein

• the first substrate includes the step forming layer which is formed by forming a conductive film, by forming an insulation film on the conductive film and, thereafter, by patterning the insulation film, and
• a light shielding layer which is formed by patterning the conductive film using the step forming layer as a mask.
