LIQUID CRYSTAL DEVICE AND ELECTRONIC APPARATUS
First Claim
1. A liquid crystal device of semi-transmissive reflective type, comprising:
- a first substrate and a second substrate opposed to each other;
a liquid crystal layer interposed therebetween;
a pixel region having a reflection display region and a transmission display region;
a first electrode having a plurality of strip electrode portions electrically connected to each other;
a second electrode included in the first substrate and facing the first electrode to produce an electric field between the first and the second electrodes;
an electrode insulating film interposed between the first and the second electrodes, the electrodes and the electrode insulating film being arranged in a side of the first substrate toward the liquid crystal layer;
a reflective polarizing layer for selectively reflecting a predetermined polarized light component of incident light;
a light scatterer for scattering reflected light; and
a layer for adjusting a thickness of the liquid crystal layer to make the thickness thereof in a light scatterer formation region different from the thickness thereof in a light scatterer non-formation region, the reflective polarizing layer, the light scatterer and the liquid-crystal-layer thickness adjusting layer being provided in the reflection display region.
