Abstract
Abstract A reflective liquid crystal display device comprising a reflector (17) with a number of small convex portions (14) of the same shape is provided. The reflector is formed by patterning a photosensitive resin applied to one surface of a core substrate (11) to a predetermined pattern so as to form a number of small convex portions (14), heat-treating the surface having the convex portions, and covering the surface with a reflective film (16). By suitably selecting the shape of the convex portions (14), the reflective properties of the reflector are controlled.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
83 words
A reflective liquid crystal display device comprising: an insulating substrate having a transparent electrode formed thereon; a reflector including a core substrate, a number of small convex portions formed on the core substrate by patterning a photosensitive resin applied to one surface of the core substrate by use of a photomask having a predetermined pattern, and a reflective film covering the surface of the core substrate having the convex portions; and a liquid crystal layer sandwiched between the insulating substrate and the reflector.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
28 words
A reflective liquid crystal display device according to claim 1, wherein the surface of the reflector on which the reflective film is formed faces the liquid crystal layer.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
30 words
A reflective liquid crystal display device according to claim 2, wherein the reflective film of the reflector functions as a counter electrode for the transparent electrode on the insulating substrate.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
33 words
A reflective liquid crystal display device according to claim 1, wherein the convex portions are formed at a pitch of 100 µm or less and have a height of 10 µm or less.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
33 words
A reflective liquid crystal display device according to claim 2, wherein the convex portions are formed at a pitch of 100 µm or less and have a height of 10 µm or less.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
33 words
A reflective liquid crystal display device according to claim 3, wherein the convex portions are formed at a pitch of 100 µm or less and have a height of 10 µm or less.
Claim 7
Independent Claim
108 words
A method for fabricating a reflective liquid crystal display device provided with a reflector including a core substrate, a number of small convex portions formed on the core substrate and a reflective film covering the surface of the core substrate having the convex portions, the method comprising the steps of: patterning a photosensitive resin applied to one surface of a core substrate for the reflector by use of a photomask so as to form a number of small convex portions on the core substrate; heat-treating the core substrate having the convex portions; and forming a reflective film on the surface of the core substrate having the convex portions.
