<p>PURPOSE:To obtain the liquid crystal display device which can easily be increased in picture element driving current and can optionally be increased in the apparent number of scanning lines without causing any great decrease in driving voltage ratio by using an optical switching function. CONSTITUTION:On one glass substrate 10, plural linear light emission sources are arrayed in a direction Y and plural linear electrodes are arrayed in a direction X while crossing the light sources. For example, the linear light emission source Y2 consists of a light emission part 11 and a linear light guide 12 which propagates the light from the light emission part 11 and the light emission part 11 emits the light, so that linear light is emitted from the whole linear light emission source Y2. The linear electrodes X1 and picture element electrodes 14 are formed on the same surface and optical switch elements 13 are provided between the linear electrode X1 and picture element electrodes 16. On the other glass substrate 15, a transparent electrode 16 is provided and a liquid crystal layer 17 is charged with the substrate and sealing materials 18.</p> |
