Abstract:
A liquid crystal display having a transflective function given by a reflector with a stack of films having a partly transmissive reflection characteristic, comprising:a transparent substrate; and a said reflector comprising a predetermined number of pairs of a first film having a high refractive index and a second film having a low refractive index, each of said first and second films being composed of a dielectric material, and stacked on said transparent substrate, wherein: said first film has a refractive index of light of not less than 1.8 at a wavelength of 550 nm, and said second film is stacked on said first film, said second film having a refractive index of light of not more than 1.5 at the wavelength of 550 nm; said predetermined number is an integer not less than 1 and each of said first and second films has a thickness that allows the light reflectance in a visible light region of said reflector to fall within a range of 5-95% and the difference between a maximum value and a minimum value of light reflectance of wavelength components in the visible light region to be approximately 10% or less.
