<p>In a liquid crystal display (10), a non-polarized light from a light source (12) is directed through a linear polarization separation layer (14) into a liquid crystal cell (16). In accordance with application of an electric field, the liquid crystal cell (16) changes the direction of a director and accordingly the direction of a field vibration vector of the incident linearly-polarized light by substantially 0 to 90 degrees and causes the changed linearly-polarized light to enter a dichroic linear polarization layer (18) on the surface, so that only the component aligning with the polarization transmission axis may emerge to the outside. The dichroic linear polarization layer (18) transmits 50 % of the extraneous light incident thereon while absorbing the remainder. <IMAGE></p> |
