1. A liquid crystal display device comprising:
- a first substrate;
a second substrate opposing the first substrate;
a liquid crystal layer disposed between the first and second substrates;
a plurality of pixels;
a reflective layer disposed between the first substrate and the liquid crystal layer, the reflective layer being located at a portion of each pixel so that the portion of each pixel is a reflection region of the pixel and another portion of each pixel other than the portion is a transmissive region of the pixel;
a coloring layer disposed between the second substrate and the liquid crystal layer, the coloring layer having an edge;
a substantially-transmissive protection layer disposed between the liquid crystal layer and the coloring layer, the protection layer covering at least a portion of the coloring layer, the protection layer including apertures that overlap the transmissive region of each pixel and cause the liquid crystal layer to be thicker in the transmissive region than in the reflection region; and
a light-shielding film overlapping the edge of the coloring layer.

Abstract
A first substrate 211 has reflective layer 212 formed thereon, and the reflective layer 212 has one aperture 212a formed therein at each pixel. The reflective layer 212 has coloring layers 214 formed thereon, and the coloring layers 214 have an overcoat layer 215 formed thereon. The overcoat layer 215 has apertures 215a directly above the corresponding apertures 212a. Liquid crystal 232 lies in surface depressions 210a formed so as to correspond to the apertures 215a of the overcoat layer 215 and is thick above the apertures 212a of the reflective layer 212.
