Abstract:
A liquid crystal display apparatus comprising a liquid crystal layer, upper and lower substrates interposing said liquid crystal layer therebetween, a pair of electrodes for applying an electric field to said liquid crystal layer, a reflection plate disposed beneath said liquid crystal layer for reflecting light coming from an upper direction of said liquid crystal layer and passing therethrough toward said liquid crystal layer, and a light emitting element layer for emitting light to said liquid crystal layer, whereinsaid light emitting element layer is disposed in an upper direction of said liquid crystal layer so as to overlay a display portion of said liquid crystal layer, one electrode of said pair of electrodes which is disposed on said lower substrate is divided into portions corresponding to each pixel of said liquid crystal layer, and an other electrode of said pair of electrodes which is disposed on said upper substrate is disposed between said one electrode and said light emitting element layer, and said light emitting element layer has a stripe-like light emitting portion, disposed in a position corresponding to a gap between said divided portions of said one electrode.
