<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a liquid crystal device which can improve the display quality by improving the blurring (out-of-focus) state of display or a decrease in contrast and which can display a sharp image, and to provide an electronic appliance equipped with the liquid crystal device. <P>SOLUTION: The liquid crystal device comprises a pair of substrates, a liquid crystal layer, a reflecting layer and a directional forward scattering film. The film is applied on the liquid crystal panel in such a manner that when the light from a light source disposed in one face side of the film is made incident on the film and a light receiving part disposed in the other face side of the film is allowed to measure the parallel transmitted light in the whole transmitted light excluding diffused transmitted light, the polar angle showing the minimum transmittance is aligned to the illuminating direction while the polar angle showing the maximum transmittance is aligned to the observation direction. Further, the film is arranged in such a manner that the azimuth angle ψ2 showing the minimum transmittance is aligned to the major axial direction of nematic liquid crystal molecules present in the center of the liquid crystal layer when the voltage applied on the substrates is eliminated. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO |
