Liquid crystal display with narrow angular range of incident light
A liquid crystal display includes a liquid crystal panel in the pixel electrode and common electrodes formed within a pixel comprise repeating structures. The angular range of light incident from the light source is narrower along a direction of the repeating structures than along an orthogonal direction.
1. A liquid crystal display comprising:
a liquid crystal panel in which at least one of a pixel electrode and a common electrode formed within a pixel comprises repeating structures;
a light source illuminating said liquid crystal panel; and
an anisotropic lens sheet arranged between said liquid crystal panel and said light source,
wherein an angular range of light incident from said light source on said liquid crystal panel is narrower along a direction of said repeating structures of said electrode than along an orthogonal direction; and
wherein a direction in which an angular range of light incident from the anisotropic lens sheet on said liquid crystal panel is relatively narrow coincides with a direction of repeating structures of the electrode.
