The present invention provides a TBA-mode liquid crystal display device that is capable of reflective display and transmissive display without using a multigap structure. The liquid crystal display device of the present invention includes a first substrate and a second substrate disposed opposite each other and a liquid crystal layer interposed between the first substrate and the second substrate, and has, in a pixel area, a reflective area where reflective display is performed and a transmissive area where transmissive display is performed. The first substrate has a first electrode and a second electrode disposed parallel to and opposite the first electrode in the pixel area, the liquid crystal layer includes a p-type nematic liquid crystal and is driven by an electric field generated between the first electrode and the second electrode, the p-type nematic liquid crystal is aligned perpendicular to the first substrate and the second substrate when no voltage is applied, a thickness of the liquid crystal layer in the reflective area is substantially equal to a thickness of the liquid crystal layer in the transmissive area, and a distance between the first electrode and the second electrode in the reflective area is different from a distance between the first electrode and the second electrode in the transmissive area.
