This invention provides a transflective liquid crystal display apparatus using an isotropic liquid crystal applicable to various pixel sizes.
A liquid crystal display panel including a first transparent substrate 110, a second transparent substrate 111, and an isotropic liquid crystal layer 200 held in a sandwiched condition between the substrates, further has pixel electrodes 190 and common electrodes 130, 170 on the second transparent substrate 111, and includes a reflection area RA and a transmission area TA in one pixel. In the reflection area RA, the pixel electrode 190 is formed into a comb shape and the common electrode 130 is formed into a planar shape via an insulation layer 180. In the transmission area TA, the pixel electrode 190 and the common electrode 170 are formed into a comb shape on the same layer. An electric field formed in the liquid crystal layer 200 according to a particular voltage difference between the pixel electrode 190 and the common electrode 130, 170 will be weaker in the reflection area RA than in the transmission area TA.
