Each pixel region includes a transmission region for display in a transmission
mode using light entering through a first substrate and a reflection region for
display in a reflection mode using light entering through a second substrate. The
first substrate includes a transparent electrode region and a reflection electrode
region, both of which have flat surfaces facing a liquid crystal layer. The second
substrate includes a transparent electrode in the reflection region and the transmission
region on its surface facing the liquid crystal layer and includes a light diffusion
layer in the reflection region, and the surface facing the liquid crystal layer
is flat in the transmission region and the reflection region.
