Liquid crystal display device
View Patent ↗A provided is a liquid crystal display device for reducing power consumption by increasing efficiency of a backlight. The liquid crystal display includes, on a TFT substrate, a semiconductor layer and a gate electrode are laminated via a gate insulating film. A TFT is formed by the semiconductor layer and the gate electrode. A base film is formed of an insulating film and at a lower layer of the semiconductor layer. As seen in plan view, a reflection film is formed on a lower side of the base film at an area corresponding to the TFT. The reflection film is independently formed for each of the TFTs. Each of the reflection films is electrically floating. The reflection film has a reflectance of 70% or more at a lower side thereof. The use efficiency of the light from a backlight can be increased because of the existence of the reflection film.
