  • Patent number: 6683667
    Abstract: A reflective liquid crystal display device includes first and second substrates facing and spaced apart from each other. A thin film transistor is connected to a gate line and a data line that define a pixel region, the thin film transistor having a gate electrode, an active layer, and source and drain electrodes. A passivation layer covers the gate line, the data line and the thin film transistor. A reflective plate of an opaque material is formed on the passivation layer at the pixel region. A scattering layer is formed on the reflective plate, the scattering layer having a contact hole exposing the drain electrode through the passivation layer. A pixel electrode of a transparent conductive material is formed on the scattering layer at the pixel region, the pixel electrode being connected to the drain electrode through the contact hole. A black matrix is formed on an inner surface of the second substrate, the black matrix covering an edge of the pixel electrode.
