A compressor includes front and rear cylinder blocks, a drive shaft rotatably supported by the cylinder blocks, a swash plate mounted on the drive shaft, a plurality of cylinder bores defined in the cylinder blocks and located around the drive shaft, and a plurality of pistons respectively disposed in the cylinder bores. The pistons reciprocate by converting rotation of the drive shaft with the swash plate. A plurality of compression chambers are defined in the cylinder bores for compressing the gas supplied to the cylinder bores in accordance with the reciprocating movement of the pistons. Each compression chamber has dead volume defined by a space having a predetermined volume when the associated piston is at top dead center in each cylinder bore. A reference capacity is defined by the capacity when the piston is at a bottom dead center of the cylinder bore that has the smallest dead volume. The largest dead volume is greater than the minimum dead volume by approximately four percent of the reference capacity.

A reflector includes a substrate, a plurality of convex/concave portions formed on the substrate, and a thin reflective film formed over the convex/concave portions. When light is incident upon the reflector from a certain direction, an intensity of reflected light in a viewing angle range of about -45.degree. to +45.degree. with respect to a regular reflection direction of the incident light is about 60% or more of an intensity of light which is incident upon a standard white plate from a direction inclined by about 30.degree. from a direction normal to the plate and is reflected to the direction normal to the plate.

A plurality of gate bus wirings and source bus wirings are formed on the surface on the liquid crystal layer side of an insulating substrate composing one substrate to be at right angles to each other and maintain the insulation therebetween. A reflection electrode is formed in the rectangular region formed by the crossing of the gate bus wiring with the source bus wiring. The reflection electrode and the gate bus and source bus wirings are connected through a TFT element. The reflection electrode has a bumpy surface, in the peripheral region of which the ratio of the surface area excluding dents to the total surface area of the peripheral portion of the reflection electrode is selected to be in the range of 60 to 100%.
