Abstract
A reflective liquid crystal display device and a liquid crystal display unit capable of achieving high moisture resistance and securing long-term reliability through specifically preventing electrode corrosion in a surface portion of a pixel electrode substrate are provided. A seal portion bonds a pixel electrode substrate and a transparent electrode substrate together with a predetermined spacing in between. In this case, the pixel electrodes and a metal film are formed inside an outer surface of the seal portion on the pixel electrode substrate. Thereby, the pixel electrodes and the metal film are not exposed to air, and the moisture resistance can be secured, and electrode corrosion can be prevented. Moreover, as an adhesive surface of the seal portion is a substrate surface, compared to the case where peripheral end surfaces of the whole device are coated, sufficient adhesion can be secured for a long term.
