Abstract:
1. A liquid crystal display device, comprising: an upper substrate and a lower substrate that face each other; a liquid crystal layer disposed between the upper substrate and the lower substrate; an upper polarizer and a lower polarizer which disposed on both sides of the liquid crystal layer in the state that sandwich the liquid crystal layer; and a liquid crystal panel having dot regions that are each provided with a transmissive display area and a reflective display area, one of the upper substrate and the lower substrate being provided with a liquid-crystal-layer thickness adjustment layer on a side of the substrate adjacent to the liquid crystal layer, the liquid-crystal-layer thickness adjustment layer providing different thicknesses for the liquid crystal layer in the transmissive display area and the reflective display area, the upper substrate having a light-diffusing layer adjacent to an outer surface of the upper substrate, and a half-width α for contrast-versus-viewing-angle characteristics of the liquid crystal panel and a half-width β for diffusion characteristics of the light-diffusing layer satisfying a relationship α≧3β.
