  • Reflective type liquid crystal display device
    Patent number: 6952246
    Abstract: A liquid crystal display device includes plural reflective electrodes supplied with a video signal, second light-blocking conductive films below the reflective electrodes with a first insulating layer therebetween, and a first light-blocking film below the second light-blocking conductive films so as to cover spacing between the second light-blocking conductive films. Each of the second light-blocking films is electrically connected to a corresponding one of the reflective electrodes, and is disposed to cover at least a portion of spacings between the corresponding one of the reflective electrodes and ones of the reflective electrodes adjacent thereto. A second insulating layer is interposed between the first and second light-blocking films, and its thickness is from 150 nm to 450 nm.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 16, 2004
    Date of Patent: October 4, 2005
    Assignees: Hitachi, Ltd., Hitachi Device Engineering Co., Ltd.
    Inventors: Katsumi Matsumoto, Iwao Takemoto, Hideki Nakagawa, Eiichiro Ito, Atsumu Iguchi, Kenji Kitajima, Masatoshi Furihata, Takeshi Ohashi, Shigeo Nakamura, Kouki Sakai

  • Reflective type liquid crystal display device
    Patent number: 6784956
    Abstract: A liquid crystal display device includes a first substrate, a second substrate, a liquid crystal layer sandwiched between the first and second substrate, plural reflective electrodes arranged on a surface of the first substrate on a liquid crystal layer side thereof, each of the reflective electrodes being adapted to be supplied with a video signal; and plural light-blocking conductive films disposed below the reflective electrodes with an insulating layer interposed between the light-blocking films and the reflective electrodes. Each of the light-blocking films is electrically connected to a corresponding one of the reflective electrodes, and is disposed to cover at least a portion of spacings between the corresponding one of the reflective electrodes and ones of the reflective electrodes adjacent thereto.
