Abstract

According to an embodiment, a reflective liquid crystal display element includes a first substrate, an electronic circuit and an insulating layer including the electronic circuit formed on a surface of the first substrate, a plurality of reflection metal electrodes formed on a surface of the insulating layer, a plurality of spacers, a second substrate opposed to the first substrate with the plurality of spacers interposed therebetween, a plurality of color filters formed on a surface of a second substrate, the plurality of color filters corresponding to the plurality of reflection metal electrodes, a coating layer formed so as to cover the plurality of color filters, a transparent electrode formed on a surface of the coating layer, and a liquid crystal formed in a spatial area between the first and second substrates.

Claims (28)

1. A reflective liquid crystal display element comprising:

a first substrate;

an electronic circuit and an insulating layer including the electronic circuit formed on a surface of the first substrate;

a plurality of reflection metal electrodes formed on a surface of the insulating layer;

a plurality of spacers;

a second substrate opposed to the first substrate with the plurality of spacers interposed therebetween;

a liquid crystal formed in a spatial area between the second substrate and the plurality of reflection metal electrodes;

a plurality of color filters formed between the second substrate and the liquid crystal, the plurality of color filters corresponding to the plurality of reflection metal electrodes;

a coating layer formed so as to cover the plurality of color filters;

a transparent electrode formed on a surface of the coating layer;

a first alignment mark formed together with the plurality of reflection metal electrodes on the surface of the insulating layer;

a second alignment mark formed together with the plurality of color filters on the surface of the second substrate;

a third alignment mark formed on the surface of the first substrate in a different layer than the first alignment mark, the third alignment mark to be a reference when the plurality of reflection metal electrodes and the first alignment mark are formed; and

a fourth alignment mark formed on the surface of the second substrate to be a reference when the plurality of color filters and the second alignment mark are formed, wherein

the first and second substrates are disposed so that the first and second alignment marks are opposed to each other, and

both the third and fourth alignment marks are disposed at places different from places where the first and second alignment marks are disposed.

2. The reflective liquid crystal display element according to claim 1 ,

wherein

the first alignment mark is formed of two marks,

the second alignment mark is formed of two marks, and

the first and second substrates are disposed so that the two marks of the first alignment mark are opposed to the two marks of the second alignment mark, respectively.

3. The reflective liquid crystal display element according to claim 1 , wherein

at least one of the plurality of spacers is a conductive spacer configured to electrically connect the electronic circuit with the transparent electrode,

the reflective liquid crystal display element further comprises an electrode configured to supply electric power to the conductive spacer, and

the electrode is formed by using the third alignment mark as a reference point.

4. The reflective liquid crystal display element according to claim 1 , wherein the transparent electrode is formed so as to extend into an area where the liquid crystal is not formed.

5. The reflective liquid crystal display element according to claim 1 , further comprising a sealing material configured to seal the liquid crystal together with the first and second substrates between the first and second substrates, wherein

the plurality of spacers are disposed inside the sealing material.
