Patent ID: 10802316

Abstract:
The present invention provides a liquid crystal display device which can prevent a camera image from being adversely affected by the birefringence of external polarized light which enters a camera through the liquid crystal layer. In a liquid crystal display device (1A), light to enter a camera (3) passes through a part of a liquid crystal panel (10A). The liquid crystal panel (10A) is configured so that the first part of the liquid crystal layer (14), which first part is located in the camera light transmissive region (S1) allowing the light to enter the camera 3 to pass therethrough, has a retardation R1 represented by the following formula: R1=mλ (where (i) m is a positive integer and (ii) λ is a wavelength of the light passing through the liquid crystal layer). A second part of the liquid crystal layer (14), which second part is located in a non-camera light transmissive region (S2) excluding the camera light transmissive region (S1), has a retardation R2 represented by the following formula: R2=λ/2(2k+1) (where k is 0 or an integer).
