Abstract:
A liquid crystal display device comprising: a first substrate made of a transparent material, provided with signal electrodes or display electrodes formed on one face thereof; a second substrate made of a transparent material, provided with opposed electrodes formed thereon; and liquid crystal sealed in-between the first substrate and the second substrate, oppositely disposed to each other with a predetermined gap interposed therebetween such that each of the signal electrodes or the display electrodes faces each of the opposed electrodes so as to form a pixel, characterized in thata polarizing film without reflection characteristics is disposed on the visible side of the first substrate, a white diffusing film is disposed adjacently to the second substrate, on a side of the second substrate, opposite the liquid crystal, no polarizer being provided between the second substrate and the white diffusing film, a polarizing film is disposed on a side of the white diffusing film, opposite the second substrate, and a reflector is disposed on a side of the polarizing film, opposite the white diffusing film; said white diffusing film having the characteristics of allowing circularly polarized light to pass therethrough substantially as the circularly polarized light, and having a substantially equal transmittance for light components at respective wavelengths in the wavelength range of visible light.
