PURPOSE: To decrease the dependency on the visual angle while maintaining resolution, luminance and contrast by forming a diffusing layer consisting of transparent beads and a light-absorbing member on the front side of a liquid crystal panel. CONSTITUTION: Two polarizing films 4a, 4b which hold a liquid crystal panel 3 are arranged in such a manner that the polarizing axis of the first polarizing film 4a in the front side of the liquid crystal panel 3 and the polarizing axis of the second polarizing film 4b in the back side of the panel 3 are perpendicular to each other. A diffusing layer 7 is formed in the front side over the first polarizing film 4a and has such a structure that transparent beads 11 are densely deposited to form one layer and the space in the front face of the bead layer is filled with a light-absorbing material 12. By forming the diffusing layer 7 comprising transparent beads 11 and light-absorbing material 12 in the front side of the liquid crystal panel 3, the light emitted from the liquid crystal panel 3 is diffused by the transparent beads 11 so that a good image for a wide visual angle can be given to the observer. |
