US Patent 7196754 Liquid crystal display apparatus and manufacturing method of same

By using a plastic substrate as a substrate, a lighter weight, improved shock resistance, and a lower cost are realized, while preventing deterioration of quality of the display image due to expansion and contraction of the substrate. A liquid crystal display apparatus (LCD) is provided with reflective electrodes 13 formed on a plastic substrate 2, color filter layers 14 formed on the reflective electrodes 13, a transparent conductive films 15 electrically connected with the reflective electrodes 13 in an area around the color filter layer 14. In the LCD, a distance between an edge of each reflective electrode 13 and an edge of the color filter layer 14 associated therewith is set based on an amount of expansion and contraction of the substrate 2, which are caused in a step of forming the color filter layers 14 and an amount of expansion and contraction of the substrate 2, which are caused in a step of forming the transparent conductive electrodes 15.
