Abstract
A transfiective liquid crystal display panel, in which at least one of a pixel electrode substrate and a counter electrode substrate is provided with a protruding portion so that the thickness of a liquid crystal layer in a reflective region is smaller than that in a transmissive region, wherein a light-blocking section for shading a defective orientation domain formed by an insufficiently-rubbed portion around the protruding portion is formed simultaneously with, and using the same material as, another element such as a storage capacitor electrode section, a signal line or a scanning line. Thus, the decrease in the display quality due to the defective orientation domain can be suppressed without adding to the production process.
