Abstract
A liquid crystal display device comprises an array substrate including a plurality of pixel electrodes, a counter substrate including a counter electrode facing the pixel electrodes, and a liquid crystal layer which modulates reflected and transmitted light of each pixel held between the substrates and defined by a corresponding pixel electrode. In particular, each pixel electrode has a conductive light reflective layer which reflects incident light and at least one opening which is formed as a missing portion of the conductive light reflective film to transmit incident light.
