Patent attributes
A liquid crystal display device includes: a pair of substrates including an element substrate and a counter substrate; a liquid crystal layer interposed between the pair of substrates, the liquid crystal layer being composed of liquid crystal having negative dielectric anisotropy, an initial alignment state thereof being vertical; pixel electrodes provided on the element substrate to drive the liquid crystal layer; and a transmissive display region for transmissive display and a reflective display region for reflective display provided within one dot region. At least an outer region of the pixel electrodes and a region overlapping edges of the pixel electrodes in plan view become the reflective display region, and the thickness of the liquid crystal layer in the reflective display region is approximately equal to that of the liquid crystal layer in the transmissive display region.
