Abstract:
A timepiece comprising a liquid crystal display panel capable of displaying at least either of time information and calendar information, said liquid crystal display panel comprising:a liquid crystal cell having a liquid crystal layer sealed in between a pair of transparent substrates thereof, having an electrode on each of the inner surfaces thereof, facing each other;an absorption-type polarizing film disposed on a visible side of the liquid crystal cell, for transmitting light linearly polarized in a direction parallel with a transmission axis thereof and absorbing light linearly polarized in a direction orthogonal to the transmission axis thereof;a reflection-type polarizing film disposed on a side of the liquid crystal cell, opposite from the visible side thereof, for transmitting light linearly polarized in a direction parallel with a transmission axis thereof and reflecting light linearly polarized in a direction orthogonal to the transmission axis thereof; anda color filter disposed on the visible side of the absorption-type polarizing film.
