Ambient light incident upon a polarizer 105 passes through a liquid
crystal layer 103 and is then reflected by reflective films 116 via
transparent electrodes 115. The reflected light passes again through the
liquid crystal layer 103 and the polarizer 105 and is output to the
outside thereby displaying an image in a reflective displaying mode. The
reflective films 116 are disposed at locations corresponding to the
respective transparent electrodes 115 such that they are spaced from each
other. In this structure, some ambient light passes through the spaces
between adjacent transparent electrodes 115, however, such light is not
reflected by the reflective films 116 toward the outside and thus a
reduction in contrast due to such reflection is prevented.
