Liquid crystal display device and manufacturing method of liquid crystal display device
View Patent ↗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.
1. A method of manufacturing a liquid crystal display device, said 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 method comprising the steps of:
forming an element layer on a substrate;
forming an insulating film on said substrate such that said insulating film covers said element layer;
forming a pixel electrode on said insulating film such that said pixel electrode is connected to said element layer; and
forming a gap adjusting layer on said insulating film on said element layer including a region of connection between said element layer and said pixel electrode;
wherein said reflecting section is formed by a region having said element layer, said insulating film, and said gap adjusting layer,
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
a dielectric is formed on said pixel electrode in said transmitting section and a connecting part for making an electric connection between said sub-pixels.
2. The method of manufacturing a liquid crystal display device according to claim 1 ,
wherein said insulating film is formed such that a height from a surface of said substrate to a surface of the insulating film in said reflecting section is greater than a height from the surface of said substrate to a surface of the insulating film in said transmitting section.
3. The method of manufacturing a liquid crystal display device according to claim 1 , wherein pixel division is performed by forming a dielectric between said sub-pixels.
4. The method of manufacturing a liquid crystal display device according to claim 1 , further comprising the step of
forming irregularities in a surface of said gap adjusting layer.
5. The method of manufacturing a liquid crystal display device according to claim 1 , further comprising the step of
forming a reflecting electrode connected to said pixel electrode on said gap adjusting layer.
6. The method of manufacturing a liquid crystal display device according to claim 1 , wherein said gap adjusting layer and said dielectric are formed by an identical layer.
