A reflection-type liquid crystal display device includes upper and lower substrates which respectively have upper and lower electrodes, the upper and lower substrates being arranged in parallel with the upper electrode facing the lower electrode, and a liquid crystal layer sandwiched between the upper and lower substrates, the upper substrate being transparent and having protruding portions adjacent to the liquid crystal layer, each protruding portion having a surface downwardly inclined to defined a prism, the lower substrate having light reflection portions and light absorption portions, wherein when an electric field is applied to the liquid crystal layer, incident light into the upper substrate is selectively directed to the light reflection portions and the light absorption portions by means of the protruding portions and the liquid crystal layer.
