Abstract

A liquid crystal display device, by which a reduction of costs of a color filter is realized and declining of the transmittance or reflectance due to an alignment error is suppressed, comprising a pair of substrates arranged facing to each other over a liquid crystal layer, wherein one substrate is formed pixels PXL arranged in matrix. Each pixel is formed a reflection portion for reflecting an outside light and a transmission portion for transmitting a light. The other substrate is formed a color filter colored to be different colors (red, green and blue) corresponding to respective pixels. One or more color adjusting windows CFW having a coloring concentration of zero or less than that of other portions are provided on reflection regions CFR superposing with reflection portions inside pixel regions corresponding to respective pixels.

Claims (11)

1. A liquid crystal display device comprising:

a first substrate and a second substrate facing each other with a liquid crystal there between, said first substrate is formed having pixels arranged in matrix, and each pixel of a plurality of pixels has a reflection portion to reflect an outside light and a transmission portion to transmit light; and

said second substrate is formed with a plurality of different color filters, each corresponding to respective pixels;

further comprising one or more color adjusting windows located at regions of the color filter corresponding to the reflection regions of the plurality of pixels, the color adjusting windows having a coloring concentration of more than zero and less than that of remaining portions of the color filters,

wherein the color adjusting windows are substantially 30 μm or less in at least one of a width and a length direction.

2. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 1 , wherein the color adjusting windows are substantially 30 μm or less in both a width and a length direction.

3. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 1 , wherein the number of color adjusting windows formed in the color filter corresponding to each reflection region is varied across the color filter.

4. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 3 , wherein there is at least one color adjusting window formed in every color filter region corresponding to each pixel reflection portion.

5. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 1 , wherein the total area of the color adjusting windows formed in the color filter corresponding to each reflection region is varied across the color filter.

6. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 5 , wherein there is at least one color adjusting window formed in every color filter region corresponding to each pixel reflection portion.

7. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 1 , wherein no color adjusting window is formed within a distance of 2 μm from an edge of a region corresponding to said reflection regions.
