Abstract
A liquid crystal device includes a pair of substrates with a liquid crystal layer interposed therebetween. A reflective display region for reflective display and a transmissive display region for transmissive display are provided in a subpixel region. A retardation film is provided in a region of one of the pair of substrates corresponding to the reflective display region. The retardation film is formed by laminating a plurality of liquid crystal material layers with an alignment film interposed therebetween.

A liquid crystal device comprising:
- a pair of substrates with a liquid crystal layer interposed therebetween,
- wherein a reflective display region for reflective display and a transmissive display region for transmissive display are provided in a subpixel region,
- a retardation film is provided in a region of one of the pair of substrates corresponding to the reflective display region, and
- the retardation film has a layered structure of a plurality of liquid crystal material layers with an alignment film interposed therebetween.
A method of manufacturing a liquid crystal device, which includes a pair of substrates with a liquid crystal layer interposed therebetween, a reflective display region for reflective display and a transmissive display region for transmissive display being provided in a subpixel region, and a retardation film having a layered structure of a plurality of liquid crystal material layers being provided in a region of one of the pair of substrates corresponding to the reflective display region,
- wherein the process of forming the retardation film includes:
- forming an alignment film on the one substrate;
- coating the alignment film with a liquid crystal material;
- curing the liquid crystal material while the liquid crystal material is aligned by the alignment film to form one of the plurality of liquid crystal material layers;
- and
- repeatedly performing the forming of the alignment film, the coating of the alignment film, and the curing of the liquid crystal material multiple times to form the retardation film having the plurality of liquid crystal material layers.
