Abstract:
A reflection-type liquid crystal display device, comprising:a first liquid crystal display layer having a first liquid crystal layer including a liquid crystal material, a dichroic dye and an anisotropic scattering material; a reflecting polarizing layer which is disposed to transmit linearly polarized light having a polarization direction in a transmitted axis direction of said first liquid crystal display layer; and a second liquid crystal display layer including a polarizer which is disposed to transmit said linearly polarized light transmitted through said reflecting polarizing layer, a second liquid crystal layer capable of bright and dark display depending on presence or absence of an applied voltage, and a reflecting layer, wherein said first liquid crystal display layer, said reflecting polarizing layer and said second liquid crystal display layer are stacked in this order from a side from which light is incident.
