Abstract:
1. A liquid crystal display comprising: first and second transparent substrates made of glass located such that inner main surfaces face each other with a gap being provided therebetween and a liquid crystal layer is held between the substrates; a parallax barrier provided on an outer main surface of said first transparent substrate and optically separating pixels displaying an image into pixels visually recognized in a specific direction and pixels visually recognized in another specific direction; and a plurality of switching elements, arrayed on an inner main surface of said second transparent substrate, for applying voltage to drive the liquid crystal; wherein said parallax barrier includes a plurality of transmissive portions arrayed to transmit light and a plurality of light blocking portions provided respectively around said transmissive portions to block light, each of said light blocking portions includes two or more layered light blocking films, said transmissive portions are provided as projections and include a transparent film provided so as to project from said outer main surface of said first transparent substrate, and each of said projections is linearly tapered in cross section from said transparent substrate such that an upper surface is smaller than a lower surface so as to form a trapezoid.
