Abstract:
1. A liquid-crystal display device comprising: a liquid-crystal display panel; a light source disposed on a side surface of said liquid-crystal display panel; and an optical path control layer, wherein: said liquid-crystal display panel includes a liquid-crystal cell, said liquid-crystal cell having a back side substrate, a visual side substrate, and liquid crystal, said back side substrate at least having a transparent substrate, a low-refractive-index transparent layer lower in refractive index than said transparent substrate, and a semi-transmission reflection layer transmitting a part of light while reflecting the other part of the light, said visual side substrate having a transparent substrate and a transparent electrode, said liquid crystal being held between said back side substrate and said visual side substrate arranged so that said electrode and semi-transmission reflection layer are opposite to each other with respect to said liquid crystal, and
