<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a transflective liquid crystal display device which has proper directions of: a reflective polarizing plate; a polarizing plate; and alignment of liquid crystal molecules of a memory type liquid crystal. <P>SOLUTION: The memory type liquid crystal display device (100) is characterized by having: a first substrate (11a); a second substrate (11b); a reflection type polarizing plate (16) transmitting linearly polarized light with a vibration plane parallel to a first transmission axis (b1) and further reflecting linearly polarized light with a vibration plane parallel to a first reflection axis; a polarizing plate (15) transmitting linearly polarized light with a vibration plane parallel to a second transmission axis (a1); and a memory type liquid crystal layer (10) maintaining either one state out of first and second stable states, wherein the direction of alignment of the liquid crystal molecules is arranged so as to be parallel to the second transmission axis in the second stable state. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI |
