<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a liquid crystal display device having an improved display quality. <P>SOLUTION: The liquid crystal display device includes a pair of substrates facing each other, a liquid crystal cell interposed between the pair of substrates and including a liquid crystal cell, a pair of polarizing plates disposed on front and rear surfaces of the liquid crystal cell, an optical element disposed in the front of the liquid crystal cell, and a light source disposed at the rear of one of the pair of polarizing plates, which is disposed on the rear surface of the liquid crystal cell. The optical element refracts a component in the best visibility direction out of emitted light from the liquid crystal cell, toward normals of the pair of substrates. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT |
