1. A liquid crystal display which is a reflective liquid crystal display, comprising:
a front substrate; a rear substrate; and a liquid crystal material layer disposed between the front substrate and the rear substrate, wherein an optical design is performed such that an extreme value of the liquid crystal applied voltage-reflectance curve varies depending on states of observing directions, wherein the optical design is performed such that the extreme value of the liquid crystal applied voltage-reflectance curve in a state observed from a normal observing direction is shifted further to a lower voltage side than an extreme value of a liquid crystal applied voltage-reflectance curve in a state observed from a direction deviated from the normal observing direction, wherein an anisotropic scatterer is disposed such that a direction where scattering characteristics are the maximum is aligned with the normal observing direction is provided on a front substrate side of the front substrate, wherein the anisotropic scatterer includes low refractive index regions and high refractive index regions, wherein high-low-index boundaries are disposed between the low refractive index regions and high refractive index regions, and wherein the anisotropic scatterer is disposed such that ambient light is scattered when light is incident from a direction substantially following the direction that the high-low-index boundaries extend, and such that the light is transmitted when light is incident from a direction substantially perpendicular to the direction that the high-low-index boundaries extends. |
