Abstract
A liquid crystal display (2) includes: a first substrate (20); a second substrate (22); a liquid crystal layer (21) between the first substrate and the second substrate; and a plurality of pixel regions each defined by respective pixel electrodes (224) and a common electrode (222), for application of a voltage to the liquid crystal layer and formation of a fringe electric field at each pixel region. Each pixel region includes a transmissive region (R) and a reflective region (T). A thickness of the liquid crystal layer in the transmissive region is greater than a thickness of the liquid crystal layer in the reflective region.
