Abstract

An LCD device includes a transmissive LCD panel assembly, a backlight assembly for supplying light to the LCD panel assembly, and a selective reflection film provided between the backlight assembly and the LCD panel assembly. A display region of the LCD has a low-resolution area and a high-resolution area, and a pixel formed in the low-resolution area that is larger than a pixel formed in the high-resolution area.
