LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY DEVICE

摘要

A semi-transmissive type liquid crystal display device which can correspond to miniaturization of pixels by improving a contrast ratio in transmissive display and a high opening ratio. The liquid crystal display device comprises a first substrate (10), a liquid crystal layer (100), and a second substrate (60) in this order.  The first substrate (10) comprises a pixel electrode (19) provided with a trunk portion and a plurality of branch portions branched from the trunk portion.  A display area including an area wherein the branch portions and slits are arranged alternately consists of a reflection area (R) and a transmission area (T).  In the reflection area (R), the first substrate (10) comprises a reflection film (14) under the pixel electrode (19) and the second substrate (60) comprises a ?/4 phase difference layer (50) on the liquid crystal layer (100)-side.
