LCD with irregular reflection surface reflector and light scattering element
View Patent ↗In a liquid crystal display, first and second substrates are provided opposing each other with a liquid crystal layer held between them, the outer surface of the first substrate serves as a light scattering surface having a light scattering characteristic, and a reflector including an irregular reflection surface is provided on the light scattering surface so that the reflection surface is on the light scattering surface side.
1. A liquid crystal display comprising:
a pair of opposing transparent substrates having a liquid crystal layer held therebetween;
a reflector having an irregular reflection surface provided on one of the transparent substrates; and
a light scattering element disposed between the reflection surface and the liquid crystal layer,
wherein light reflected by the reflection surface is scatterd by passing through the light scattering element and a haze of said light scattering element is in a range from 15% to 30%.
2. A liquid crystal display according to claim 1 , wherein the light scattering element is disposed between said one of the transparent substrates and the reflection surface.
3. A liquid crystal display according to claim 1 , wherein the light scattering element is a light scattering film.
