Abstract
A liquid crystal display device of the present invention is a transflective liquid crystal display device that is provided with a backlight, a liquid crystal cell (10), and a reflective electrode (32) provided in the liquid crystal cell (10), and that displays an image through both a reflective display region (a) and a transmissive display region (b). In this liquid crystal display device, a front-side λ/4 plate (wave plate) for a reflective display is further provided on a side from which external light enters the liquid crystal cell (10), and a thin film (33) is provided, on the reflective electrode (32), for correcting a change in chromaticity caused by wavelength dispersion due to the λ/4 plate.
Claims11
A transflective type liquid crystal display device, comprising:
- a liquid crystal panel displaying an image through both a reflective display region and a transmissive display region, wherein:
- the liquid crystal panel includes (i) a reflective electrode for reflecting incident external light and (ii) a wave plate for performing reflective display, the wave plate being provided on a side of a liquid crystal layer from which side external light enters the liquid crystal layer;
- and
- the reflective electrode is provided with a thin film for suppressing wavelength dispersion caused by the wave plate.
