LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY DEVICE

摘要

A liquid crystal device comprising an OCB liquid crystal element the contrast of which is improved and which performs display while controlling the birefringence of the liquid crystal layer of the element. The reflection of light inside the element is lowered, and the reflection of light attributed to the differences among the refractive indices of the materials at the boundary surfaces of portions inside the element is lowered. The inside lights such as the backlight are made to fall on the substrate perpendicularly as much as possible. Specifically, for example, the black matrix, the active devices provided at least on one side of the substrate, and the wiring on the liquid crystal layer side are made of light absorbing materials.
