LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY DEVICE

摘要

A liquid crystal display device (100A) of the present invention is provided with: a liquid crystal display panel (50A); and a light beam direction converting element (20) that is arranged on the viewer side of the liquid crystal display panel (50A). The liquid crystal display panel (50A) is provided with: a liquid crystal layer (1) that can be switched between a transmitting state that transmits light and a scattering state that scatters light; a first substrate (2) and a second substrate (3) that hold the liquid crystal layer (1) therebetween; and a pair of electrodes (4, 8) that apply a voltage to the liquid crystal layer (1). The liquid crystal layer (1) has a continuous wall (10) and a liquid crystal region (11) within a pixel. The liquid crystal region (11) contains a nematic liquid crystal material and a dichroic fluorescent dye (17). The light beam direction converting element (20) turns the traveling direction of fluorescence emitted from the dichroic fluorescent dye (17) to a predetermined direction.
