Liquid crystal display device comprising first and second reflective pixel electrodes that overlap each other with an insulating layer having a tapered first end portion interposed therebetween

A liquid crystal display device comprising:

• a first insulating layer;
• a first pixel electrode on the first insulating layer;
• a second pixel electrode on the first insulating layer;
• and
• a second insulating layer between the first pixel electrode and the second pixel electrode,
• wherein a first end portion of the second insulating layer overlies a first end portion of the first pixel electrode,
• wherein a second end portion of the second insulating layer is on the first insulating layer and underlies a first end portion of the second pixel electrode,
• wherein the first end portion of the second pixel electrode overlaps the first end portion of the first pixel electrode with the second insulating layer therebetween,
• wherein the first pixel electrode and the second pixel electrode are reflective electrodes, and
• wherein the first end portion of the second insulating layer is tapered.
