Abstract
A transflective type liquid crystal display has display side members; rear side members which include a diffuse reflector layer with apertures, and a glass substrate; and a liquid crystal layer interposed between the display side members and the rear side members, wherein on the opposite side from the diffuse reflector layer, the glass substrate has aperture-forming lenses used for exposure and removal during formation of the apertures of the diffuse reflector layer, and a flattening layer used to flatten a concave and convex surface produced by the aperture-forming lenses. This makes it possible to implement a transflective type liquid crystal display with excellent visibility regardless of whether an external light or internal lighting source is used.
