Reflection type liquid crystal display device, display apparatus, and projection system

摘要

A reflection type liquid crystal display device comprises a glass substrate provided with a transparent electrode, and an Si driving circuit substrate provided with a light reflecting electrode, the glass substrate and the Si driving circuit substrate being disposed opposite to each other so that the transparent electrode and the light reflecting electrode are opposed to each other, with a liquid crystal layer composed of vertically aligned liquid crystals being interposed therebetween, wherein at least the condition of d·Deltan·|DeltaE|2>=5 is satisfied, where d (mum) is the thickness of the liquid crystal layer, Deltan is the refractive index anisotropy of the vertically aligned liquid crystals, and |DeltaE| is the magnitude of the dielectric constant anisotropy of the vertically aligned liquid crystals.
