PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To achieve a high contrast and a wide viewing angle in a transflective liquid crystal display. SOLUTION: A plurality of pixels 10P including a liquid crystal layer LC interposed between a first transparent substrate 10 and a second transparent substrate 20 are disposed. In each pixel 10P a transmissive portion 10T and a reflective portion 10R are formed. The transmissive portion 10T includes a first common electrode 15 and a first pixel electrode 17 disposed on the first transparent substrate 10 and is operated by a FFS (fringe field switching) mode with high contrast and a wide viewing angle. The reflective portion 10R includes a second pixel electrode 19 disposed on the first transparent substrate 10 and a second common electrode 25 disposed on the second transparent substrate 20 and is operated by an ECB (electrically controlled birefringence) mode with a high reflectance of external light. Further, each first common electrode 15 in adjacent pixels 10P is connected by a thin wiring line 15W passing through an overlapped region with the second common electrode 25. Thus, an increase in the entire resistance of the first common electrode 15 can be suppressed. COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT
