Abstract:
A liquid crystal device comprising:a liquid crystal panel comprising a pair of substrates between which a liquid crystal is inserted;a first polarizer provided at one side of said liquid crystal panel, not transmitting light having first predetermined polarization components and transmitting light having polarization components being different than said first predetermined polarization components; anda reflective polarizer provided on the opposite side to said first polarizer relative to said liquid crystal panel, wherein said reflective polarizer includes a plurality of layers having various optical path lengths adjusted to reflect linearly polarized light of different limited wavelength ranges within visible light, said wavelength ranges are recognized as specific colors by human eyes,said reflective polarizer reflecting light having second predetermined polarization components at said limited wavelength ranges within visible light, and transmitting light having polarization components being different than said predetermined polarization components, and transmitting light having second predetermined polarization components to wavelength range outside of said limited wavelength ranges within said visible light.
