Liquid crystal display projector, liquid crystal display panel, and manufacturing method thereof

A liquid crystal display projector which displays an image on a predetermined screen by applying illumination-light to a liquid crystal panel and projecting the light onto said screen using a projection lens, the light passing through the image displayed on said liquid crystal panel,

• wherein said liquid crystal display panel comprises light-transmittable unit pixels that are arranged in a two-dimensional array,
• each of said unit pixels includes:
• an optical device having a light-transmitting film which collects incident light;
• and
• a liquid crystal layer which allows the light that has passed through said optical device to pass through an aperture of a light-shielding layer, and
• wherein in said optical device, a refractive index distribution for incident light from a fixed direction is asymmetrical to a surface-center of said light-transmitting film, and
• a color filter is placed near said optical device while irradiating the illumination-light to said liquid crystal display panel.

A liquid crystal display projector which displays an image on a predetermined screen, after allowing a color separation unit to separate illumination-light into colors, by applying the light onto a liquid crystal display panel, synthesizing the light passing through the image displayed on said liquid crystal panel, and projecting the image onto said screen using a projection lens,

• wherein said liquid crystal display panel comprises light-transmittable unit pixels that are arranged in a two-dimensional array,
• each of said unit pixels includes:
• an optical device having a light-transmitting film which collects incident light;
• and
• a liquid crystal layer which allows the light that has passed through said optical device to pass through an aperture of a light-shielding layer, and
• wherein in said optical device, a refractive index distribution for incident light from a fixed direction is asymmetrical to a surface-center of said light-transmitting film.

A rear-projection television which enlarges and projects an image projected from a liquid crystal display projector onto a rear side of a screen using a reflection mirror,

• wherein the liquid crystal display projector is operable to display an image on a predetermined screen by applying illumination-light to a liquid crystal panel and projecting the light onto said screen using a projection lens, the light passing through the image displayed on said liquid crystal panel,
• said liquid crystal display panel comprises light-transmittable unit pixels that are arranged in a two-dimensional array,
• each of said unit pixels includes:
• an optical device having a light-transmitting film which collects incident light;
• and
• a liquid crystal layer which allows the light that has passed through said optical device to pass through an aperture of a light-shielding layer, and
• wherein in said optical device, a refractive index distribution for incident light from a fixed direction is asymmetrical to a surface-center of said light-transmitting film, and
• a color filter is placed near said optical device while irradiating the illumination-light to said liquid crystal display panel.
