Liquid crystal display device

A liquid crystal display device comprising:

• a TFT substrate on which pixels having transmissive areas and reflective areas are formed in a matrix shape;
• an opposed substrate having color filters;
• and
• liquid crystal sandwiched between the TFT substrate and the opposed substrate,
• wherein in the reflective area, a pixel electrode is formed on the TFT substrate, a gate insulating film is formed on the pixel electrode, and plural through-holes are formed in the gate insulating film;
• a source electrode extending from the TFT is formed while covering the gate insulating film and the plural through-holes;
• an inorganic passivation film is formed while covering the source electrode, and a common electrode having slits is formed on the inorganic passivation film;
• the source electrode is conductive with the pixel electrode in the plural through-holes of the gate insulating film;
• and
• the source electrode formed on the gate insulating film and the plural through-holes forms a diffuse reflection surface.
