Patent ID: 6937303

Claim:
A transmissive and reflective type LCD comprising: a first substrate; a second substrate having an inner surface that is arranged so as to face the first substrate; a liquid crystal layer formed between the first substrate and the second substrate; a first polarizing plate formed on an outer surface of the first substrate; a second polarizing plate formed on an outer surface of the second substrate, the outer surface being opposite to the inner surface of the second substrate; a backlight arranged at a rear side of the first polarizing plate; and a transparent transflective film arranged between the first polarizing plate and the backlight, said transparent transflective film having a plurality of layers in which a first layer and a second layer having different refractivity indexes from each other are alternatively stacked, the transparent transflective film reflecting a specific directional polarization component of an incident light, and partially reflecting and transmitting a polarization component of the incident light that is polarized in a direction orthogonal to the specific direction.
