Liquid crystal display device

1. A liquid crystal display device of a transflective type, which is configured such that a liquid crystal layer is held between a first substrate and a second substrate and each of pixels is provided with a transmissive part and a reflective part, the first substrate comprising:

a switch element which is disposed in each of the pixels;

an insulation layer which is disposed at least in the reflective part;

a pixel electrode which includes a transmissive electrode disposed in the transmissive part of the pixel and a reflective electrode electrically connected to the transmissive electrode and disposed on the insulation layer in the reflective part, the pixel electrode being electrically connected to the switch element via a contact hole which is formed in the insulation layer by the reflective electrode; and

a cover member which covers the reflective electrode in the contact hole, exposes the reflective electrode on the insulation layer, and is formed of a material having a lower reflectance than the reflective electrode.

2. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 1 , wherein the cover member is formed of molybdenum.

3. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 1 , wherein the cover member includes a first electrically conductive layer which is disposed on the reflective electrode and is formed of molybdenum, and a second electrically conductive layer which is disposed on the first electrically conductive layer and is formed of the same material as the transmissive electrode.

4. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 3 , wherein the reflective electrode is formed of aluminum and the transmissive electrode is formed of indium tin oxide.

5. The liquid crystal device according to claim 1 , wherein the transmissive electrode and the reflective electrode are connected via molybdenum which is placed along the boundary between the transmissive electrode and the reflective electrode.
