Abstract: A first substrate 211 has reflective layer 212 formed thereon, and the reflective layer 212 has one aperture 212a formed therein at each pixel. The reflective layer 212 has coloring layers 214 formed thereon, and the coloring layers 214 have an overcoat layer 215 formed thereon. The overcoat layer 215 has apertures 215a directly above the corresponding apertures 212a. Liquid crystal 232 lies in surface depressions 210a formed so as to correspond to the apertures 215a of the overcoat layer 215 and is thick above the apertures 212a of the reflective layer 212.

Abstract: Reflective display and transmissive display are performed by driving liquid crystal in a predetermined area (region b) in a non-crossing region by using an oblique electric field. Light passed through the region b when a voltage is applied is shaded since the liquid crystal in the region b is driven. Accordingly, at a position of a second substrate 2b corresponding to the region b, it is not necessary to provide a shading film 22. Consequently, a line width S1 of the shading film 22 can be designed to be smaller compared to that of a conventional one, and hence, a high aperture ratio can be obtained.
