Color liquid crystal display device and method of manufacturing the same, and method of manufacturing a color filter substrate
To provide a semi-transmissive type color liquid crystal display device that is capable of realizing high color reproducibility as well as increase in reflection brightness upon light transmission and upon light reflection. In display pixel elements of a color filter substrate used in the semi-transmissive type color liquid crystal display device, a color filter layer formed on a reflection part is thin and a color filter layer formed on a transmission part is thick, and a thickness of a metallic reflective film formed on the reflection part is set to 0.2 μm or more. Further, the color layer filter at the transmission part and the color layer filter at the reflection part are formed at the same time, and a continuous color filter layer is obtained.
1. A color liquid-crystal display device, comprising:
a color filter substrate having a metallic reflective film, colored layers, and a transparent electrode formed on a transparent substrate;
a counter substrate having an opposite electrode that is opposite to the transparent electrode and constitutes a display pixel element with the transparent electrode; and
a liquid crystal layer formed between the color filter substrate and the counter substrate, wherein:
the metallic reflective film is formed in a part of an area of the display pixel element to establish a reflection part and a transmission part in the display pixel element;
the colored layers are integrally formed on the metallic reflective film and at the transmission part where the metallic reflective film is not formed in the display pixel element; and
a sum of a thickness of the metallic reflective film and a thickness of the colored layer on the metallic reflective film is larger than a thickness of the colored layer at the transmission part.
2. A color liquid crystal display device according to claim 1 , wherein the sum of the thickness of the metallic reflective film and the thickness of the colored layer on the metallic reflective film is larger than the thickness of the colored layer at the transmission part by 0.15 μm to 0.30 μm.
3. A color liquid crystal display device according to claim 2 , wherein a light shielding film is formed between the colored layers.
4. A color liquid crystal display device according to claim 3 , wherein the light shielding film is provided on the metallic reflective film.
5. A color liquid crystal display device according to claim 3 , wherein the light shielding film is formed on an area of the transparent substrate where the metallic reflective film is not formed.
