Abstract

Disclosed are a transreflective type LCD and a method of manufacturing the same. A color filter substrate is formed with a light transreflective member for reflecting an external light or transmitting an artificial light and a visual angle increasing member for increasing the visual angle of the light from the light transreflective member. A thickness of a color filter varies to obtain a uniformity of the light from the light transreflective member regardless of the transmissive and the reflective modes. The light from the light transreflective member is provided through a TFT substrate to a user as an image.
