PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide the reflection type liquid crystal display device which has a high contrast and can make a paper-white or color display. SOLUTION: The liquid crystal display device is equipped with a couple of substrates 1 and 8 which are arranged opposite each other so that one of them is transparent and has electrodes, a liquid crystal layer 5 which is sandwiched between the substrates 1 and 8, a liquid crystal panel constituted by sandwiching spacers giving a constant gap between the substrates 1 and 8, a reflecting plate 10 which varies the quantity of reflected light of light passed through the liquid crystal layer, a control means which varies the quantity of transmitted light in the liquid crystal layer by applying a voltage between the electrodes, and a driving means which generates a voltage waveform for varying the quantity of transmitted light of the liquid crystal layer. Then a medium 9 which totally reflects light made incident on the substrate surface slantingly to the vertical direction and is different in refractive index from the liquid crystal layer is arranged between the liquid crystal layer 5 and reflecting plate 10. |
