<p>A timepiece provided with a backlight that enables time information or other information to be recognized with good contrast even when the backlight is turned off, comprising a liquid crystal (6) sealed in a space between first and second transparent substrates (1, 4) each having an electrode formed on each opposing surface thereof in order to form a liquid crystal panel (10) that displays at least one of time information and calendar information; an absorption type polarizer plate (2) that is disposed on the outer side of the first substrate (1) on the viewing side of the liquid crystal panel (10) and that absorbs linear polarization having a plane of vibration perpendicular to the easy axis of transmission; and a reflection type polarizer plate (3) that is disposed on that side of the second substrate (4) which is opposite the viewing side and reflects linear polarization having a plane of vibration perpendicular to the easy axis of transmission, the polarizer plate (3) being provided with a backlight (8) on the outer side thereof.</p> |
