Display apparatus, a method of manufacturing the same and a color filter

Abstract

A hybrid type display apparatus capable of maintaining color purity in a case of transmission mode display, and improving lightness of color in a case of reflection mode display is provided. This hybrid type display apparatus is comprised of: a pair of substrates comprising a first substrate on a front side and a second substrate on a rear side, disposed in opposite directions spaced apart from each other; a first electrode provided on an internal surface of the first substrate; a second electrode provided on an internal surface of the second substrate; a color filter provided on the first substrate, aligned with a pixel in a portion between the first electrode and the second electrode spaced apart in the opposite directions from each other; a liquid crystal layer interposed between the first and the second substrates; and a reflection layer provided on the second substrate. The reflection layer has a hole provided for each pixel, which divides a plane of each pixel into a transmission portion within the hole and a reflection portion outside the hole. The color filter comprises a lamination of a colored layer and a transparent layer. The colored layer is formed thinner in the reflection portion than in the transmission layer, and the transparent layer is formed to cover a difference in level between the transmission portion and the reflection portion.
