Active matrix display device

摘要

An active matrix display device includes a pair of substrates (110,140), an optical modulation layer (150) lying between the substrates, a plurality of pixel electrodes (120) on one of the substrates, switching elements (130) for driving the respective pixel electrodes provided in the vicinity of the pixel electrodes, and a reflective or transflective reflecting layer (138) formed on at least one substrate more distant from a viewer side. Light impinging under normal incidence on the reflecting layer is reflected in a way that the azimuthal distribution of the reflected light intensity is asymmetric with respect to the reflecting layer normal. <IMAGE>
