Liquid Crystal Display Device and Manufacturing Method for Same

摘要

An object of the present invention is to increase the dichroic ratio of the built-in polarizing layer in reflective regions so that the display performance improves in a semi-transmission type liquid crystal display device having a transmissive display portion and a reflective display portion. The present invention provides a liquid crystal display device having first and second substrates which face each other with a liquid crystal layer in between, where a transmissive region and a reflective region are formed in each pixel on the above described first substrate, as well as: a reflective layer formed in the above described reflective region on the above described first substrate; a polarizing layer formed on the above described first substrate on the liquid crystal layer side of the above described reflective layer from chromonic liquid crystal molecules; a pixel electrode formed on the above described first substrate on the liquid crystal layer side of the above described reflective layer and electrically connected to a source electrode of a thin film transistor; and a protective layer formed in the reflective region between the above described polarizing layer and the above described pixel electrode which makes contact with the above described polarizing layer.
