Reflection type liquid crystal display

A reflection type liquid crystal display comprising:

• a polarization plate;
• a quarter wavelength plate with a half phase difference film and a quarter phase difference film;
• an upper substrate;
• a transparent electrode;
• a liquid crystal layer;
• a reflector electrode;
• and
• a lower substrate,
• wherein, said polarization plate, said quarter wavelength plate, said upper substrate, said transparent electrode, said liquid crystal layer, said reflector electrode, and said lower substrate are layered in sequence from a light inputting side, and
• assuming that the orientation direction of liquid crystal molecules adjacent to said upper substrate is zero degrees, and that a twist direction of the liquid crystal molecules from the upper substrate to the lower substrate is positive, the angle of the polarized light absorption axis of said polarization plate is 5 to 35 degrees, the angle of the optical axis of said half phase difference film is −15 to 15 degrees, and the angle of the optical axis of said quarter phase difference film is −75 to −45 degrees.
