A reflective liquid crystal display device includes first and second substrates
spaced apart and facing each other, a gate line and a data line on an inner surface
of the first substrate and crossing each other to define a pixel area, a thin film
transistor electrically connected to the gate and data lines, a passivation layer
covering the thin film transistor, a blocking layer on the passivation layer and
corresponding to the thin film transistor, a pixel electrode on the passivation
layer and connected to the thin film transistor, a retardation film on an outer
surface of the first substrate, a polarizer on the retardation film, an absorption
layer on an inner surface of the second substrate, a cholesteric liquid crystal
color filter layer on the absorption layer, a common electrode on the cholesteric
liquid crystal color filter layer, and a liquid crystal layer between the common
electrode and the pixel electrode, wherein the data line overlaps adjacent pixel
electrodes and a overlapping width is over 50% of a width of the data line.
