A semitransmissive liquid crystal display panel 10 has a first substrate 11 having, formed in each of the areas demarcated by signal lines and scan lines laid in a grid-like shape thereon, a reflective portion and a transmissive portion formed by a pixel electrode 15 having a slit 17 , a second substrate 19 having formed thereon a color filter 21 , a common electrode 22 , and ridges 23 and 41 , alignment films 24 laid over the first and second substrates 11 and 19 and processed for vertical alignment, and a liquid crystal layer 25 laid between the first and second substrates 11 and 19 and showing a negative dielectric constant anisotropy. When no electric field is applied to the liquid crystal layer 25 , the liquid crystal molecules are vertically aligned, and, when an electric field is applied to the liquid crystal layer 25 , the liquid crystal molecules are horizontally aligned and inclined in the directions restricted by the slit 17 and the ridges 23 and 41 . The slit 17 is formed in a central portion of the pixel electrode in the transmissive portion, and the ridges 23 and 41 are formed at the periphery of the pixel electrode 15 and in a central portion of the reflective portion.
