Abstract:
1. A transflective liquid crystal display device, comprising: a first substrate; a second substrate opposed to the first substrate, in which transmission and reflection regions are formed; and a liquid crystal layer interposed between the two substrates, which is homogeneous oriented; a first optical anisotropic element, including an uniaxially anisotropic film and a first polarizing plate, is disposed on a surface of the first substrate from a first substrate side, the surface being opposite to the liquid crystal layer; a second optical anisotropic element, including a liquid crystal film which shows an optically positive uniaxiality and a second polarizing plate, is disposed on a surface of the second substrate from a second substrate side, the surface being opposite to the liquid crystal layer; a first half wave plate disposed on the uniaxially anisotropic film on an opposite side to the first substrate; and a second half wave plate disposed on the liquid crystal film on an opposite side to the second substrate, wherein a nematic hybrid orientation, in which a polymeric liquid crystal substance formed in a liquid state, of the liquid crystal film is fixed, and the optical axis of the anisotropic film is disposed to be orthogonal or substantially orthogonal to an optical axis of the liquid crystal film, wherein an orientation direction of a plurality of liquid crystal molecules in the liquid crystal layer is parallel or substantially parallel to an orientation direction of a plurality of liquid crystal molecules of the liquid crystal film, and wherein the first half wave plate and second half wave plate have orientation directions which are other than perpendicular to one another.
