Liquid crystal display device and method of manufacturing the same
First Claim
1. A liquid crystal display device, comprising:
- a pair of substrates disposed to be opposite to each other;
a liquid crystal sealed between the pair of substrates and aligned almost vertically to the substrate when a voltage is not applied;
a pair of quarter-wave plates respectively disposed at outer sides of the pair of substrates;
a pair of polarizing plates respectively disposed at outer sides of the pair of quarter-wave plates; and
a pixel area including a reflection area provided with a reflecting plate having a reflecting surface and for reflecting light incident from one of the pair of substrates, and a transmission area for causing light incident from the other of the pair of substrates to be transmitted toward the one of the pair of substrates.

Abstract
The invention relates to a liquid crystal display device used as a display part of an information equipment and a method of manufacturing the same, and has an object to provide the liquid crystal display device which can obtain excellent display characteristics without raising the manufacture cost and the method of manufacturing the same. The liquid crystal display device includes a pair of substrates disposed to be opposite to each other, a liquid crystal sealed between the pair of substrates and aligned almost vertically to the substrate when a voltage is not applied, a pair of quarter-wave plates respectively disposed at outer sides of the pair of substrates, a pair of polarizing plates respectively disposed at outer sides of the pair of quarter-wave plates, and a pixel area including a reflection area provided with a reflecting plate having an almost flat reflecting surface and for reflecting light incident from one of the substrates, and a transmission area for causing light incident from the other of the substrates to be transmitted toward the one of the pair of substrates.

14. A method of manufacturing a liquid crystal display device, comprising the steps of:
-
forming an aluminum layer and a conductive layer made of a material other than aluminum in this order; patterning the conductive layer and the aluminum layer; forming an insulating layer on the patterned conductive layer; and removing the insulating layer on the conductive layer to form an opening part, removing the conductive layer exposed through the opening part to expose the aluminum layer, and forming a reflecting surface of a reflecting plate. - View Dependent Claims (15)
