Abstract

Disclosed herein is a liquid crystal display device including a plurality of pixels each having a reflecting section and a transmitting section, the pixels each including a plurality of sub-pixels resulting from alignment division, the liquid crystal display device including: an element layer formed on a substrate; an insulating film formed on the substrate so as to cover the element layer; a pixel electrode formed on the insulating film so as to be connected to the element layer; a gap adjusting layer formed on the insulating film on the element layer including a region of connection between the element layer and the pixel electrode; and a dielectric formed on a connecting part for making an electric connection between the sub-pixels.

Claims (17)

1. A liquid crystal display device including a plurality of pixels each having a reflecting section and a transmitting section, said pixels each including a plurality of sub-pixels resulting from alignment division, said liquid crystal display device comprising:

a substrate;

an element layer formed on said substrate;

an insulating film formed on said substrate so as to cover said element layer; and

a pixel electrode formed over said insulating film connected to said element layer;

a gap adjusting layer formed over said insulating film on said element layer including a region of connection between said element layer and said pixel electrode;

a dielectric selectively formed on a connecting part, each connecting part making an electric connection between said sub-pixels;

wherein said reflecting section is formed by a region having said element layer, said insulating film covering said clement layer, and said gap adjusting layer formed on said insulating film,

said transmitting section is formed by a region having said pixel electrode formed on said insulating film excluding a region where said gap adjusting layer is formed, and

said dielectric is formed on said pixel electrode in said transmitting section at regions of each of a plurality of connecting parts corresponding to portions of the connecting parts having notches formed therein.

2. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 1 , wherein a surface of said gap adjusting layer is formed in a shape of irregularities.

3. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 1 , wherein said gap adjusting layer is formed between sub-pixels.

4. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 1 , wherein a reflecting electrode is formed on said gap adjusting layer.

5. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 4 , wherein said reflecting electrode is connected to the pixel electrode connected to said element layer at an edge part of said gap adjusting layer.

6. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 1 ,

wherein said gap adjusting layer is formed by a dielectric, and

said gap adjusting layer is formed in the entire area of said sub-pixel as said reflecting section.
