A reflective LCD has first and second light blocking metal films that are
formed one upon another between a semiconductor substrate and reflective
pixel electrodes with an insulating film being laid on and under each of
the light blocking metal films, to block part of read light, which has
been made incident from a transparent substrate side to liquid crystals
through a counter electrode and has penetrated a third interlayer
insulating film through openings formed between adjacent ones of the
reflective pixel electrodes, from reaching switching elements. One of the
first and second light blocking metal films covers the openings formed
between adjacent ones of the reflective pixel electrodes. The first and
second light blocking metal films in each pixel are electrically
connected, through third via holes, to a corresponding switching element,
reflective pixel electrode, and storage capacitor.
