Abstract:
1. A liquid crystal display device comprising: a pair of transparent substrates which are arranged to face each other in an opposed manner with a liquid crystal layer sandwiched therebetween; a non-self-luminous display part having at least light transmitting regions which allow light to pass therethrough and a light shielding region which shields light; and a backlight part which irradiates backlight light from a back surface side of the non-self-luminous display part; wherein the pair of transparent substrates comprises a first substrate which is arranged on a backlight part side and a second substrate which faces the first substrate, the first substrate includes a reflection film formed of a metal thin film, the reflection film being formed on a liquid crystal layer side of the first substrate, opening regions corresponding to the light transmitting regions are formed in the reflection film, the backlight light which is incident on the opening region passes through the opening region and reaches the liquid crystal layer side, and the backlight light which is incident on a region where the reflection film is formed is reflected toward the backlight part side, and the first substrate has polarization members for reflecting or absorbing an S-wave component of the backlight light and for allowing the transmission of a P-wave component therethrough in the opening regions, the polarization members being respectively arranged inside of the opening regions so as not to overlap the reflection film.
