The liquid crystal display device realizes the display function by the liquid B0 panel and the light source device, but the backlight device is the main energy consuming device of the entire liquid crystal display device. Therefore, in order to realize energy saving demand, a liquid crystal display device using ambient light as a light source appears, that is, The reflective liquid crystal display device has the defects that the liquid crystal molecules have a slow response speed and a narrow viewing angle range. In order to overcome the shortcomings of the liquid crystal molecules of the reflective liquid crystal display device, such as slow response speed and narrow viewing angle range, a reflective FFS type liquid crystal display device has appeared. Referring to the first figure, a reflective FFS type liquid crystal display device disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 6,583,842, the entire disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference. 110, liquid crystal layer 13 〇, pixel electrode 15 〇, insulating layer 17 〇 and counter electrode 19 〇 (Counter Electrode), wherein the counter electrode 19 〇, the insulating layer 170, the pixel electrode 150 and the alignment layer 11 〇 are sequentially distributed under On the substrate 1〇2, an alignment layer 11〇 is attached to the upper substrate 101 with respect to the surface of the liquid crystal layer 130, and a liquid crystal layer [go is placed between the substrates '1〇2'. The counter electrode 190 is a conductive layer uniformly distributed on the entire surface of the lower substrate 102, and is made of a material having a high reflection coefficient such as metal aluminum or metal gold, and serves as a reflector of ambient light. 3 1330292 When the liquid crystal display device 100 is displayed, the light source adopts ambient light, and the display function is realized by the reflection function of the counter electrode 190, thereby achieving energy saving effect; the opposite electrode 190 is distributed on the lower substrate 102 as a whole. Located vertically below the pixel electrode 15〇, the fringe field (not shown) generated by the two electrodes 15〇, 190 is more densely distributed during the display process, so that the liquid crystal molecules respond faster in the horizontal direction, and the viewing angle is higher. More extensive. However, in the case where the ambient light is insufficient, the liquid crystal display device 100 cannot provide sufficient brightness for the display, and the image of the screen is unclear, and in the case of severe lack of ambient light, such as in a dense room towel, the liquid crystal display device (10) Unusable, the liquid crystal display device 1GG is unable to display the quality and reduce the flip range. In view of this, it is necessary to provide a liquid crystal display device having a wide range of applications and ensuring display quality.

The reflective electrode 350 has a reflective region 353 and a transmissive region 351, wherein the transmissive region 351 of the counter electrode 350 has an aluminum layer thickness of less than 1 nanometer, and the reflective region 353 has a relatively thick aluminum layer. The beam of light that is incident thereon can be reflected. When the thickness of the layer is up to 100 nm, the light beam irradiated thereon can penetrate it, and its penetration rate is greater than 1%, and the thinner the thickness, the greater the penetration rate. 5 1330292 When the liquid crystal display device 300 is in operation, 'the pixel electrode 39 is located vertically above the opposite electrode 35〇, and a fringe electric field can be generated to cause the liquid crystal layer (not labeled) to be deflected in the liquid crystal layer. That is, it is an FFS type liquid crystal display device. When the light beam emitted from the backlight 340 is irradiated onto the opposite electrode 35G, since the thickness of the chain layer of the penetration region is less than nanometer, the portion of the light beam irradiated onto the penetration region 351 can be provided by When the external ambient light/service counter electrode 350 is on, the thickness of the reflective region 353 is thicker, and reflection can occur in the region, and the light beam can be reflected back to the liquid crystal layer 330 to provide another light source for display. . The two light sources can provide light to the exercise device together or separately to achieve display. Wherein the penetration region 351 of the counter electrode 350 has an inscribed layer thickness of less than 1 nanometer, which can be adjusted according to the actual needs of the transmittance of the display. Wherein, since the metal layer of the penetration region 351 of the opposite electrode 350 is thin, the resistance thereof is also large. To reduce the resistance, the surface of the opposite electrode 35 can be coated with tin oxide (Indium Tin Oxide, ITO). The film (not shown) reduces its electrical resistance.
