Abstract:
1. A liquid crystal display including; a first substrate, and a second substrate which is opposed to the first substrate and has switching elements, metal inclusive lines, and transparent electrodes, and a liquid crystal layer which is arranged between the first and second substrates, and a first polarizing plate which is arranged outside the first substrate, and a polarizing selective reflector which is arranged outside the second substrate, and a second polarizing plate which is arranged outside the polarizing selective reflector, reflectors which are provided between (i) an insulating layer located over at least a portion of the switching elements and the metal inclusive lines, and (ii) the liquid crystal layer; and being able to be viewed from both the outside of the first and second substrates; wherein the thickness of the liquid crystal layer over the reflectors is smaller than that over the transparent electrodes; and wherein color filters are provided on the first substrate, of which thickness is larger at the portion opposed to the reflectors than at the portion opposed to the transparent electrodes.
