Liquid crystal display having an insulating layer on a portion of the common electrode

A method of manufacturing a liquid crystal display apparatus, the method comprising:

• forming a color filter layer on a first area and a second area of a first substrate, the second area being adjacent to the first area, the color filter layer having a different thickness in the first and second area, and
• forming a common electrode on the color filter layer,
• forming a transmissive electrode on a second substrate, and
• forming a reflective electrode on the transmissive electrode in the first area;
• forming an insulating thin layer between the first substrate and the second substrate exclusively in the first area;
• and
• interposing a liquid crystal layer between the first substrate and the second substrate.

A method of manufacturing a liquid crystal display device comprising a substrate, the method comprising;

• forming a first insulating layer on a first area of the substrate, the substrate having the first area and a second area adjacent to the first area;
• forming a common electrode on the first insulating layer and the second area of the substrate;
• and
• forming a second insulating layer on the common electrode in the second area,
• wherein the first insulating layer comprises a photoresist different from a photoresist of the second insulating layer.
