A transflective liquid crystal display device includes a first polarizer, a first phase difference layer, a first substrate, a liquid crystal layer, a second substrate, a second phase difference layer, and a second polarizer. The first substrate includes a reflective layer, a pair of electrodes configured to generate a transverse electrical field in the liquid crystal layer, and a first horizontal alignment film. The second substrate includes a second horizontal alignment film. The first phase difference layer includes a first λ/2 plate and a first λ/4 plate. The second phase difference layer includes a second λ/2 plate and a second λ/4 plate. At least one of the first phase difference layer and the second phase difference layer further includes a positive C plate. The liquid crystal layer includes a liquid crystal material having a negative-type anisotropy of dielectric constant and takes a twist alignment when no voltage is applied. Each of pixels includes a reflective region in which light is reflected by the reflective layer to perform display and a transmissive region in which light is transmitted to perform display.
A transflective liquid crystal display device comprising a liquid crystal display device provided with a plurality of pixels, the liquid crystal display device comprising:
