Transflective liquid crystal display device

A transflective liquid crystal display device comprising:

• a liquid crystal display panel having a first substrate, a second substrate, and a liquid crystal interposed between the first substrate and the second substrate in which the liquid crystal display panel includes a plurality of subpixels having a transmissive portion and a reflective portion,
• wherein the transmissive portion of each of the plurality of subpixels includes a transmissive pixel electrode formed on the first substrate and a first common electrode formed on the first substrate,
• wherein the reflective portion of each of the plurality of subpixels includes a planar reflective pixel electrode formed at a position of the same layer as that of the transmissive pixel electrode, a reflective electrode, and second common electrodes formed on the second substrate,
• wherein a step formation layer is formed between the second common electrodes and the second substrate,
• wherein the step formation layer has a tapered boundary portion between the transmissive portion and the reflective portion of each of the sub-pixels, and
• wherein the second common electrodes extend to a tapered bottom portion of the step formation layer, and each leading portion of the second common electrodes is positioned in the transmissive region of each of the subpixels.
