There is a problem that the reflected light is reflected twice on the surface of one of the insulating substrates on the liquid crystal layer side and the surface of the metal reflector. Furthermore, since the pixels through which incident light passes and the pixels through which reflected light pass are different, when contrast is reduced or when color display is performed using a color filter, color mixing is caused. There was also a problem that reproducibility deteriorated.
- a liquid crystal display device of the N-type or S-type with a single polarizing plate, and a phase-change-type guest-host type liquid crystal that can display without using any polarizing plate Display devices and the like have been proposed. In either case, the number of polarizing plates can be reduced or not used, so that the display can be brightened.
