Scattering polarizing plate having a transmission and diffusion axis, with the transmission axis being perpendicular to the transmission axis of the polarizing plate

摘要

A reflective liquid crystal device is provided in which external light incident on a liquid crystal layer through a polarizing plate is reflected from a reflecting layer and then exits to the outside through the liquid crystal layer and the polarizing plate to display an image. A forward scattering type polarizing plate having a transmission axis and a diffusion axis is arranged between the polarizing plate and the liquid crystal layer such that the transmission axis of the forward scattering type polarizing plate is perpendicular to the transmission axis of the polarizing plate.
