<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a reflective liquid crystal apparatus having high contrast, and to provide a reflective color liquid crystal apparatus which can display bright colors. <P>SOLUTION: The liquid crystal apparatus is equipped with at least a polarizing plate, a retardation plate, a light-diffusing plate, an upper substrate having a transparent electrode, a liquid crystal layer, and a lower substrate having a metal reflective electrode, which are disposed in this order. The retardation and the axial direction of the retardation plate are determined to allow the light entering the polarizing plate, to reach the light diffusing plate in a state of circularly polarized light. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI |
