Abstract:
1. A liquid crystal display, comprising two or more liquid crystal panels being stacked, at least one of the panels including a light diffusion layer having a light diffusing property, and further comprising: a vertical alignment liquid crystal layer; a first substrate and a second substrate facing each other across the liquid crystal layer; a first electrode provided on a side, of the first substrate, which faces the liquid crystal layer and a second electrode provided on a side, of the second substrate, which faces the liquid crystal layer; and at least one alignment film provided to contact the liquid crystal layer, wherein: pixel regions are each divided into a first, a second, a third, and a fourth liquid crystal domain, liquid crystal molecules in the liquid crystal layer near a center with respect to a layer plane and a thickness direction exhibiting a tilt direction parallel to a predetermined, first direction in the first liquid crystal domain, a predetermined, second direction in the second liquid crystal domain, a predetermined, third direction in the third liquid crystal domain, and a predetermined, fourth direction in the fourth liquid crystal domain when a voltage is applied across the first and second electrodes; a difference between any given pair of the first, second, third, and fourth directions is substantially equal to an integral multiple of 90°; and the first, second, third, and fourth liquid crystal domains are adjacent to other liquid crystal domains and are arranged in a 2×2 matrix.
