Abstract:
1. A liquid crystal display device, comprising: a liquid crystal cell including a liquid crystal layer held between an upper substrate and a lower substrate that oppose each other, and a semi-transparent reflective layer provided on an inner side of the lower substrate, the inner side being adjacent to the liquid crystal layer; a first elliptically polarizing plate to cause elliptically polarized light to enter the liquid crystal layer through the upper substrate, the first elliptically polarizing plate including a polarizer, at least one liquid crystal film fixed in nematic hybrid alignment, and at least one stretched film; and a second elliptically polarizing plate to cause elliptically polarized light to enter the liquid crystal layer through the lower substrate, the second elliptically polarizing plate including a polarizer, at least one liquid crystal film fixed in discotic hybrid alignment, and at least one stretched film.
