Abstract:
A liquid crystal display device comprising:a front substrate and a rear substrate disposed in a mutually facing relation;a liquid crystal layer sandwiched between said front substrate and said rear substrate;a mirror-reflection layer provided on said rear substrate;a single refraction layer provided on an outer surface of said front substrate;a polarizing plate provided on an outer surface of said single refraction layer; anda diffusing layer provided on an outer surface of said polarizing plate to diffuse light from said single refraction layer,refraction powers of said single refraction layer and said diffusing layer being chosen within a range substantially preventing coloring or blurs;said single refraction layer refracting incident light in a certain direction while maintaining vibrating direction thereof, andsaid diffusing layer refracting light from said single refraction layer in random directions so that sufficient diffusion of light is realized without disordering polarized component of light from said liquid crystal layer.
