PURPOSE: A liquid crystal display is provided to display an image excellent in visibility regardless of environment and to reduce power consumption. CONSTITUTION: A liquid crystal display(1) comprises first and second substrates facing each other; first pixel electrodes arrayed on a first area within a surface of the first substrate facing the second substrate; second pixel electrodes arrayed on a second area within the surface of the first substrate facing the second substrate; a first common electrode supported by the second substrate and facing first pixel electrodes; a second common electrode supported by the second substrate and facing the second pixel electrodes; and a liquid crystal layer interposed between the first pixel electrodes and the first common electrode and between the second pixel electrodes and the second common electrode. A first display region(51) corresponding to the first area displays an image by light reflection mode, and a second display region(52) corresponding to the second area displays an image by light transmission mode. 복수의 제1화소전극이 설치된 제1영역에 대응한 제1표시영역(51)은 광반사방식에 의해 화상을 표시하고, 복수의 제2화소전극이 설치된 제2영역에 대응한 제2표시영역(52)은 광투과방식에 의해 화상을 표시할 수 있는 액정표시장치가 제공된다.
