Abstract

A display device includes a first panel and a second panel facing each other, a liquid crystal layer and a member for determining a tilt direction of liquid crystal molecules of the liquid crystal layer. The display device has a reflective area and a transmissive area. The liquid crystal layer is interposed between the first panel and the second panel. The member is disposed at a portion of the second panel corresponding to the reflective area. The display device realizes a multi-domain structure and prominent reflective efficiency is obtained by utilizing a projection area as a reflective area.
