Abstract
According to an aspect, a transflective liquid crystal display device includes: a first substrate on which reflective electrodes are arranged for pixels; a second substrate on which a transparent electrode is provided; a liquid crystal layer between the first and the second substrates; and a color filter that is provided closer to the transparent electrode than the reflective electrodes, and includes filters of a plurality of colors. The first substrate is provided with a first space between reflective electrodes of adjacent pixels and a second space between reflective electrodes of adjacent pixels, the first space extending in a first direction and overlapping a border between filters of different colors, the second space extending in a second direction and having transmittance higher than that of the first space. Transmissive display is performed by using the second space where a light shielding member is not positioned.
