<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a liquid crystal display device by which luminous reflection display can be obtained from any viewing angle. <P>SOLUTION: In the liquid crystal display 1, a reflection layer 6 reflecting light made incident from a second substrate 3 side via a liquid crystal layer 4 is provided on a first substrate 2, a circularly polarizing plate 11 or an elliptically polarizing plate 12 is provided on the side opposite to the liquid crystal layer 4 of the second substrate 3 and an optical compensation plate 10 is provided between the second substrate 3 and the polarizing plate 11 or 12. The optical compensation plate 10 satisfies two relations of (nz-(nx+ny)/2)×d>0 and nx=ny when a refractive index in an in-plane slow axis direction, a refractive index in an in-plane fast axis direction, a refractive index in a thickness direction and the thickness are defined as nx, ny, nz and d, respectively. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT |
