Reflection liquid crystal display and reflection liquid crystal display provided with built-in touch panel and comprising the same

Abstract

The present invention offers reflective color liquid crystal display devices with a high contrast ratio and eye-friendly multi-color display capability, and liquid crystal display devices incorporating a touch panel arranged therefrom, of which the display is not adversely affected by the installation of a pressure sensitive input device. In a reflective liquid crystal display device arranged from a light reflexible substrate (5) and a substrate (4); a liquid crystal layer (1) in which nematic liquid crystal having a positive dielectric anisotropy is sandwiched between the substrates (4) and (5); a first optical retardation compensator plate (8); a second optical retardation compensator plate (9); and a polarizer plate (10), {circle around (1)} the retardation of the optical retardation compensator plates (8 and 9) in the substrate normal direction, {circle around (2)} the angle formed by the slow axes of the optical retardation compensator plates (8 and 9) and either the transmission axis or the absorption axis of the polarizer plate (10), {circle around (3)} the twist angle of the liquid crystal layer (1), {circle around (4)} the product of the birefringence difference of the liquid crystal in the liquid crystal layer (1) and the thickness of the liquid crystal layer, and {circle around (5)} the angle formed by the alignment direction of the liquid crystal molecules in a close proximity of the substrate (4) and either the transmission axis or the absorption axis of the polarizer plate are optimized.
