Abstract: A light shielding film includes a protrusion for a touch sensor, which is formed to protrude further than a color filter layer toward the side of a first substrate, and a spacer portion, which is formed to protrude further than the protrusion for a touch sensor toward the side of a first substrate and defines the thickness of a liquid crystal layer. A counter electrode, which covers the protrusion for a touch sensor and the color filter layer, is formed on a second substrate.

Abstract: A protrusion for a touch sensor protruding toward the first substrate, an opposite electrode covering the protrusion for a touch sensor and the color filter layer, and a spacer defining the thickness of the liquid crystal layer are formed on a second substrate, and a touch electrode is formed on the first substrate and placed opposite the protrusion for a touch sensor through the opposite electrode therebetween. Furthermore, the spacer and the protrusion for a touch sensor are respectively formed in a single unit with the same material and with the same color as respective ones of the color layers of the color filter layer.

Abstract: Provided is a light guide plate which can suppress glare with reduced thickness. Specifically, a light guide plate (1) is provided with a light incoming surface (1a), a light outgoing surface (1b) and a light reflecting surface (1c). A diffraction grating pattern (11) is formed on the light outgoing surface (1b), and a prism pattern (12) is formed on the light reflecting surface (1c). On a region of the light reflecting surface (1c) on the side of the light incoming surface (1a), the prism pattern (12) does not exist, and the region where the prism pattern (12) is formed is smaller than the region where the diffraction grating pattern (11) is formed.

Abstract: A liquid crystal display device 1 has liquid crystal 6 sealed between a pixel substrate 4, having a pixel electrode 10 composed of a reflective electrode 42 that reflects light and a transparent electrode 41 that transmits light, and a opposed substrate 5 having a opposed electrode 23 located opposite the pixel electrode 10. The liquid crystal display device 1 displays an image while being illuminated by light reflected from the reflective electrode 42 or with light transmitted through the transparent electrode 41. The pixel substrate 4 has a coloring layer 43, which is formed on top of the reflective electrode 42 to add a color to light and has an opening 43a above the reflective electrode 42, and a multiple-gap portion 44, which is formed continuously on top of the coloring layer 43 and in the opening 43a and narrows the thickness of the liquid crystal 6 above the reflective electrode 42. The transparent electrode 41 is laid on the multiple-gap portion 44 and the coloring layer 43.

Abstract: In the liquid crystal display device of the present invention, a filter of, for example, red, green, or blue is formed on a glass substrate surface of a liquid crystal layer side, and if necessary, a black mask is formed between the filters. The filter has a first region and a second region with a film thickness thinner than that of the first region. The second region has, on the inside, an uncolored region where the filter is not formed. In one pixel region, the first region is formed so as to correspond to a transmissive region and the second region and the uncolored region are formed so as to correspond to a reflective region. A reflective electrode and a transparent electrode are formed on another glass substrate surface of the liquid crystal layer side.
