Abstract:
A reflective liquid crystal display comprising, in the following order:(II) a reflector;(I) at least one light diffusion layer; and(III) a liquid crystal cell,wherein said light diffusion layer comprises: (i) inorganic fine particles and/or organic fine particles and a resin binder; or (ii) a film which scatters a part of incident light from angles tilted about 25 degrees to about 60 degrees from normal line to the reflector face and allows incident light from other angles to transmit, andsaid reflector having (1) one or two light reflection angles which exhibit maximums in an angle-dependent distribution curve of reflected light intensity which is generated when light is irradiated on the reflector surface from a direction at an angle of -45 degrees from a normal line to the reflector surface, in which at least one angle exhibiting the maximum deviates by at least 5 degrees from the angle of +45 degrees from the normal line to the reflector surface and (2) an elevation/depression angle of between 2.5 degrees and 10 degrees.
