Liquid crystal display device having transmitting region and reflecting region
First Claim
1. A liquid crystal display device comprising:
- a first substrate and a second substrate opposing each other;
a liquid crystal layer sandwiched between the first substrate and the second substrate, containing P-type liquid crystal molecules, and configured to be perpendicularly aligned when no electric field is applied;
a pixel including a reflecting region and a transmitting region, the reflecting region having a cell gap distance that is the same as a cell gap distance of the transmitting region, the reflecting region being adjacent to the transmitting region in a first direction;
a pixel electrode provided on the first substrate to extend in the first direction, and located in both the reflecting region and the transmitting region;
a first common electrode including first and second portions, the first and second portions being provided on the first substrate so as to extend longitudinally in the first direction, being located on respective opposite sides of the pixel electrode in a second direction substantially perpendicular to the first direction, and each being located in both the reflecting region and the transmitting region;
a second common electrode provided on the second substrate; and
a reflecting film provided in the reflecting region to overlap a portion of the pixel electrode, and comprising a conductive material, wherein the pixel electrode and the first common electrode are not electrically connected.
