Patent attributes
A liquid crystal device in which a reflective display region for performing reflective display and a transmissive display region for performing transmissive display are provided in one dot region, includes a first substrate and a second substrate disposed so as to be opposite to each other with a liquid crystal layer interposed therebetween; a first electrode and a second electrode provided on a surface of the first substrate which faces the liquid crystal layer, each of the first and second electrodes applying an in-plane electric field to the liquid crystal layer in the one dot region, and a reflective portion dielectric film provided on the first electrode and/or the second electrode in the reflective display region, the reflective portion dielectric film making a capacitance between the first and second electrodes in the reflective display region smaller than a capacitance between the first and second electrodes in the transmissive display region.
