Problems solved by technology

However, since the degree of scattering in the incident direction is high, the incident light is scattered backwards and the contrast decreases.
Furthermore, since the angular relationship with respect to the scattering of incident light is strong, the brightness will change rapidly, and the viewing angle relationship is very bad.

Abstract

A liquid crystal display comprises a top polarizer 11, an optical compensating element, an anisotropic scattering layer 10, a scattering layer 9, and a liquid crystal device 20. When the direction of viewing direction of the anisotropic scattering layer is designated as the Y-axis direction, and a direction oriented substantially at right angles to the Y-axis direction is designated as the X-axis direction, light entering the anisotropic scattering layer is scattered over a wider angle along the Y-axis direction than along the X-axis direction. Further, the incident angle dependence of the straight-go transmittance of the anisotropic scattering layer is symmetrical about the layer normal, and the straight-go transmittance in the layer normal direction is lower than the straight-go transmittance in any oblique direction.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the structure of a liquid crystal display device, in particular to a reflective liquid crystal display device in the form of a single polarizer for bright black-and-white display and color display, which is composed of a reflector inside the liquid crystal display element and a polarizer. Background technique [0002] In the past, reflective liquid crystal display devices mainly used a pair of polarizers, and between the reflective layers arranged outside one of the polarizers, TN (twisted nematic) liquid crystal elements and STN (super twisted nematic) ) A reflective liquid crystal display device of a liquid crystal element. However, in this method, brightness is low, and furthermore, since the reflective layer is outside the glass substrate, there are problems in that shadows are generated in the display. [0003] As a countermeasure against the above-mentioned problems, a reflection type liquid crystal display dev...
