Patent ID: 7468764

Claim:
A liquid crystal display panel comprising a liquid crystal layer filled between a pair of transparent substrates, the liquid crystal display panel further comprising: a first optical-path changing layer, on a front-face side of a rear-face side transparent substrate, that has a refractive index substantially equal to a refractive index of the rear-face side transparent substrate, and that includes a predetermined protrusion and a predetermined depression, the rear-face side transparent substrate being one of the pair of transparent substrates that is provided on a side which becomes a rear side when an observer views the liquid crystal display panel; a low refractive-index layer, on a front-face side of the first optical-path changing layer, that is in contact with the predetermined protrusion and the predetermined depression of the first optical-path changing layer, and that has a refractive index that is smaller than the refractive index of the first optical-path changing layer; and a second optical-path changing layer, on a rear-face side of the rear-face side transparent substrate, that includes a predetermined protrusion and a predetermined depression.
