Abstract:
A liquid crystal display panel comprising:a liquid crystal cell with liquid crystals sealed therein, sandwiched between two transparent substrates having an electrode on each of the inner surfaces thereof, facing each other;a first polarizing film disposed on a visible side of the liquid crystal cell;a second polarizing film disposed on the side of the liquid crystal cell, opposite from the visible side thereof; anda light source disposed on the side of the second polarizing film, opposite from the liquid crystal cell;wherein at least one of the electrodes is formed in a pattern of display segments or in a dot-matrix type for indicating information,only one polarizing film is disposed on each side of the liquid crystal cell, andthe first polarizing film is a reflection-type polarizing film reflecting the light linearly polarized in a direction orthogonal to a transmission axis of the first polarizing film while the second polarizing film is an absorption-type polarizing film absorbing the light linearly polarized in a direction orthogonal to a transmission axis of the second polarizing film.
