Abstract
A transflective liquid crystal display device includes: an upper substrate and a lower substrate opposing each other; a lower transparent electrode formed on the lower substrate; a passivation layer formed on the lower transparent electrode; a reflective electrode formed on the passivation layer, the reflective electrode having an open hole formed passing through the passivation layer such that a portion of the lower transparent electrode is exposed; a liquid crystal layer interposed between the upper and lower substrates, the liquid crystal layer having a first cell gap that corresponds to the lower transparent electrode and a second cell gap that corresponds to the reflective electrode, wherein the first cell gap is larger than the second cell gap; a color filter layer formed on the upper substrate, the color filter layer including a first portion that corresponds to the reflective electrode, a second portion that corresponds to the open hole, and a dummy pattern, wherein the second portion is thicker than the first portion, and the dummy pattern is formed in the second portion; and an upper transparent electrode formed on the color filter layer.
