  • Publication number: 20040105056
    Abstract: A liquid crystal display device can further enhance the display contrast. Reflection films are formed on pixel regions on a liquid-crystal-side surface of one substrate out of respective substrates which are arranged to face each other with liquid crystal therebetween. Light from another substrate side is incident on the reflection films through the liquid crystal and thereafter is reflected toward another substrate side. The formation of the reflection films is obviated in the vicinities of projecting portions formed in the pixel regions.
