Reflection type liquid crystal display device and personal digital equipment using the same

Abstract

A reflection type liquid crystal display device of the present invention includes: a first substrate having a reflective electrode formed thereon; a second substrate having a transparent counter substrate and a color filter formed thereon; and a liquid crystal layer interposed between the first and second substrates, wherein the color filter includes a red color filter portion and a cyan color filter portion. The cyan color filter portion transmits light having a complementary color of a color of light transmitted through the red color filter portion. The light transmitted through the red color filter portion has a chromaticity (x, y) on the XYZ color system chromaticity diagram satisfying the following formulae at a 2.degree. viewing angle using a standard light source D.sub.65 : (0.038).sup.2 .ltoreq.(x-0.313).sup.2 +(25/4).multidot.(y-0.329).sup.2 .ltoreq.(0.178).sup.2 ; y.ltoreq.0.145x+0.236; and y.gtoreq.-0.233x+0.376.
