Abstract:
1. A liquid crystal display device comprising: an upper panel comprising an inner surface and an outer surface; an alignment layer, the alignment layer attached on the inner surface of the upper panel and a polarizer attached on the outer surface of the upper panel; a lower panel including a first surface and a second surface disposed opposite to the first surface, the first surface facing the inner surface of the upper panel; a plurality of metallic lines disposed on the first surface of the lower panel, the plurality of metallic lines disposed substantially parallel to each other and wherein the plurality of metallic lines extend in a first direction; a phase retardation layer disposed on the first surface of the lower panel; liquid crystal molecules injected between the upper panel and lower panel; and a backlight unit comprising a light source which emits light toward the lower panel and a reflector which reflects light reflected from the lower panel, wherein the phase retardation layer is disposed between the plurality of metallic lines and the lower panel, and wherein intervals between the plurality of metallic lines are narrower than wavelengths of visible rays.
