1. A liquid crystal display comprising:

  • a pair of substrates opposite to each other;

    a liquid crystal layer sealed between the pair of substrates; and

    a pixel region having a reflective area including a reflector for reflecting light entering from the side of one of the pair of substrates, the reflector being provided on the other of the pair of substrates, and a transmissive area for transmitting light entering from the side of the other of the pair of substrates toward the one of the pair of substrates,wherein the reflector is provided at the periphery of the pixel region;

    wherein the transmissive area has a transparent pixel electrode which is provided at an opening of the reflector and which is formed above the reflector and electrically isolated from the reflector; and

    wherein a cell thickness of the reflective area is substantially equal to or greater than a cell thickness of the transmissive area.
