The present invention provides a transflective liquid crystal display device which is produced by a simple process with minimum increase in the production cost and which achieves both high-quality reflective display and transmissive display. The present invention relates to a vertical alignment transflective liquid crystal display device for transmissive display and reflective display. The display device includes: a back-side polarizer; a liquid crystal cell; a viewing-side polarizer; a first retardation layer; and a second retardation layer. The liquid crystal cell includes a pair of substrates and a liquid crystal layer disposed between the pair of substrates. The viewing-side polarizer has an absorption axis orthogonal to an absorption axis of the back-side polarizer. The first retardation layer is disposed between the liquid crystal layer and the viewing-side polarizer at a transmissive display region and a reflective display region, satisfies 1.5≦̸Nz≦̸9.0, has an in-plane slow axis orthogonal to the absorption axis of the viewing-side polarizer, and satisfies 20 nm≦̸Re(550)≦̸80 nm. The second retardation layer is disposed between the first retardation layer and the viewing-side polarizer at the reflective display region, and converts linearly polarized light incident from the viewing-side polarizer into circularly polarized light together with the first retardation layer when no voltage is applied.
