A liquid crystal display device includes first and second substrates
having inner surfaces facing and spaced apart from each other; a light
absorption layer on an inner surface of the first substrate; a
cholesteric liquid crystal color filter (CCF) layer on the light
absorption layer for selectively reflecting light corresponding to one of
red, green, and blue colors; a first transparent electrode on the CCF
layer; a first orientation film on the first transparent electrode; a
second transparent electrode on the inner surface of the second
substrate; a second orientation film on the second transparent electrode,
the first and second orientation films being rubbed along the same
direction; a polarizing plate on an outer surface of the second
substrate; and a layer of liquid crystal material between the first and
second orientation films, wherein the layer of liquid crystal material
has a bend structure.
