The present invention provides a semi-transmissive liquid crystal display device that can suppress flicker by adjusting an optimum value of a direct-current offset voltage that is applied to offset a bias electric field generated inside liquid crystal without increasing the number of production steps, and also provides a preferable production method of the semi-transmissive liquid crystal display device. The liquid crystal display device of the present invention is a semi-transmissive liquid crystal display device including: a substrate on aback face side, including a transmissive electrode and a reflective electrode; a substrate on an observation face side, facing the substrate on the back face side; and a liquid crystal layer arranged between the substrate on the back face side and the substrate on the observation face side, wherein the reflective electrode has a molybdenum-containing surface on a side of the liquid crystal layer.
