On a first substrate are formed a TFT provided to each pixel, an
insulating film which covers the TFT, and a reflective layer which is
provided on the insulating film so as to be insulated from the TFT and
reflects light incident from a second substrate side. The reflective
layer is covered with a passivation film on which a first electrode made
of a transparent conductive material, such as ITO having the work
function equivalent to a second electrode, is formed and connected to the
TFT. The passivation film covering the reflective layer prevents the
reflective surface of the reflective layer from deteriorating in
reflection properties during a process for connecting the TFT and the
first electrode. Further, the first and second electrodes having similar
characteristics can symmetrically AC drive the liquid crystal layer.
