Display device having reflective region and transmissive region
First Claim
1. A display device comprising:
- a pair of substrates;
a display medium interposed between the pair of substrates; and
a pixel having a reflective region for performing reflective display and a transmissive region for performing transmissive display,wherein the display device includes a pixel electrode and a common electrode on one of the pair of substrates,a voltage is applied to the display medium through the pixel electrode and the common electrode,each of the pixel electrode and the common electrode is provided with a slit,the pixel electrode is provided with the slit in the reflective region and the transmissive region, andthe common electrode comprises a first portion in the reflective region and a second portion in the transmissive region, wherein the first portion of the common electrode in the reflective region comprises a plurality of slits defined in the common electrode, and the second portion of the common electrode in the transmissive region does not include a plurality of slits defined therein, so that the common electrode does not include a plurality of slits in the transmissive region of the pixel.

Abstract
The present invention is a display device which can provide bright display by both of reflective display and transmissive display without having a multi-gap structure and which can reduce a difference in response time between the reflective region and the transmissive region. The display device of the present invention is a display device including: a pair of substrates; a display medium interposed between the pair of substrates; and a pixel having a reflective region for performing reflective display and a transmissive region for performing transmissive display, wherein the display device includes a pixel electrode and a common electrode on one of the pair of substrates, a voltage is applied to the display medium through the pixel electrode and the common electrode, each of the pixel electrode and the common electrode is provided with a slit, the pixel electrode is provided with the slit in the reflective region and the transmissive region, and the common electrode is provided with the slit in the reflective region.
