Abstract:
A liquid crystal display device comprising:a liquid crystal cell that includes first and second transparent substrates having inner surface sides that face each other with a liquid crystal layer therebetween, a first transparent electrode and a first orientation film disposed in that order on the inner surface side of the first transparent substrate, and a second transparent electrode and a second orientation film disposed in that order on the inner surface side of the second transparent substrate; first and second phase difference plates and a first polarizing plate formed sequentially on an outer surface side of the second transparent substrate; a reflector attached to an outer surface side of the first transparent substrate with an adhesive layer therebetween, the reflector including a metal reflection film formed on a base material, the base material having a plurality of concave portions formed on a surface thereof and the metal reflection film having a plurality of concave surfaces corresponding to the concave portions, the metal reflection film having a thickness of about 5 to 50 nm and attached to the liquid crystal cell such that the metal reflection film is more proximate to the first transparent substrate than the base material; and a third phase difference plate and a second polarizing plate formed sequentially on the outer surface side of the first transparent substrate, the third phase difference plate and second polarizing plate disposed more distal to the liquid crystal cell than the reflector.
