PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To realize a high opening rate and high luminance of a transflective liquid crystal display. SOLUTION: Data wiring to be formed in one side of a pixel region composed of a reflective part and a transmissive part is divided into a first line and a second line to constitute the reflective part of adjacent pixel regions, while the space between the first line and the second line is used as the transmissive part. By this structure, not only a black matrix conventionally formed corresponding to the data wiring can be removed, but the region for the black matrix can be used as a transmissive region. Thus, a high opening rate and high luminance can be realized. This method is advantageous to keep the maximum opening rate because a color filter can be directly formed over the array substrate described above to prevent process errors conventionally produced in a laminating process of a color filter.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method of forming a gate line and a data line with copper having low electrical resistance and high chemical corrosion resistance. SOLUTION: In the manufacture method of an array substrate for a liquid crystal display device, when the gate line and the data line are formed on the array substrate, metal material having high chemical corrosion resistance and low electrical resistance is used and, thereby, the process is simplified. By utilizing copper as the metal material, the tight adhesiveness between copper and the glass substrate is improved. Further, in order to prevent the reaction of the copper with a silicon component, a copper compound layer is further formed under the copper layer. Such an arrangement allows the copper to be used as wiring and, especially when forming the gate line with copper, the process can be simplified differently from the conventional practice.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an array substrate for a reflection type liquid crystal display device capable of embodying high numerical aperture and high brightness by providing a patterned spacer for maintaining a gap of a liquid crystal panel, and to provide a manufacture method thereof. SOLUTION: A data line is branched from one end of the substrate into a first line and a second line and the respective branched lines are constituted on the lower part of a reflection electrode which is formed on an adjacent pixel region in the parallel direction. The patterned spacer is formed in accordance with the separated region of the reflection electrode. Such a constitution does not require the formation of black matrix on the upper substrate corresponding to the data line as in the conventional practice, therefore, the numerical aperture of the coalescence margin considered when being designed can be secured and the high numerical aperture and high brightness can be further embodied. By forming the patterned spacer, the advantage of solving various kinds of problems caused by the use of the conventional ball spacer can be obtained. COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO&NCIPI
