Abstract

A phase difference plate for delaying the phase of incident light for lambda/4 and a liquid-crystal layer for shifting the incident light by lambda/4 according to the applied voltage are provided between a polarizing plate and a selective reflection layer formed of cholesteric liquid crystal. A first color filter layer is provided on the polarizing plate side of the selective reflection layer. On the back side of the selective reflection layer, a second color filter layer constituting a band-pass filter is arranged. On the back side of the second color filter layer, a backlight is provided. When a liquid-crystal display device functions as a reflective liquid-crystal display device, light entering through the polarizing plate is reflected totally by the selective reflection layer and passes through the first color filter layer twice. When the liquid-crystal display device functions as a transmission liquid-crystal display device, light from the backlight passes through the selective reflection layer. Then, the light passes through the second and first color filter layers once and is outputted.

Description

1224224 A7 B7 五、發明説明(1 ) 〔發明背景〕 (請先閱讀背面之注意事項再填寫本頁) 本發明係關於具備濾色層之彩色液晶顯示裝置,尤其 有關備有背面光源,及反射外光之反射板,可作爲反射型 及透過型彩色液晶顯示裝置發揮功能之半透過型之彩色液 晶顯示裝置。 近年,液晶顯示裝置係被應用於筆記型個人電腦( p c )之顯示器,監視機,車輛導航,函數計算機,中小 型電視機等各種領域。已在檢討,尤其反射型液晶顯示裝 置因不需要背面光源(back light),所以欲活用低消費電 力’且薄型輕量之益處,應用於移動型p C等之攜帶機器 用顯示器。 然而,先前之反射型液晶顯示裝置,與紙同樣利用外 光顯示者,所以若使用環境本身黑暗時顯示畫面也變暗而 不能使用。尤其在黑暗時就完全不能利用。 經濟部智慧財產局員工消費合作社印製 對於這種問題,可利用於作爲在黑暗環境使用背面光 源之透過型液晶顯示裝置,將反射板成爲半透過反射板, 例如作爲半鏡(half mirror),開發出備有背面光源之半透 過型液晶顯示裝置。 又,已在檢討在反射板設有對應於各像素之針孔(ριη hole ),並且,依各像素配置微型透鏡(micro lens )之半 透過型液晶顯示裝置。 依據此液晶顯示裝置,若作爲反射型液晶顯示裝置使 用時,與通常之反射型液晶顯示裝置相較,只有針孔分量 降低顯示畫面之亮度。又,若作爲透過型液晶顯示裝置使 本纸張尺度適用中國國家標準(CNS ) A4規格(210X297公釐) -4- 1224224 A7 B7 五、發明説明(2 ) (請先閱讀背面之注意事項再填寫本頁) 用時,將射出背面光源之光線由微型透鏡聚光使其通過針 孔,就可得到與通常之透過型液晶顯示裝置同樣之顯示畫 面之亮度。藉此,來改善上述半透過型液晶顯示裝置之亮 度。 這種半透過型液晶顯示裝置,係因設濾色層就可顯示 彩色顯示。亦即,先前之半透過型彩色液晶顯示裝置係由 濾光板,前面基板,濾色層,驅動電極,液晶層,背面基 板,半反射板,背面光源依序積層構成。濾色層,係設於 反射板前方,亦即設於觀看者側。 因此,液晶顯示裝置作爲反射型機能時,從前面基板 側射入之外光,係通過濾色層之後,由反射板所反射,再 次通過液晶層及濾色層射出於外部。亦即,將變成透過2 .次濾色層之光路。因此,濾色層,係與通常之反射型彩色 液晶顯示裝置同樣,濾色層,係光線透過2次時使用可得 到所需著色之分光特性者。 經濟部智慧財產局員工消費合作社印製 作爲反射型液晶顯示裝置之機能時,光源爲外光,不 能自由地控制光線強度。又,若使用偏光板時,由於元件 全體之透過率不能變成充分者,所以,濾色層之分光特性 ,係將最大透過率視爲1時最小透過率也成爲0 . 1以上 。因此,這種濾色層分光特性,係設計成只透過一次濾色 層時不能得到充分著色程度地變成淡色濃度。 實際上,上述濾色層,連光線透過二次時之分光特性 ,較使用於先前之透過型之液晶顯示裝置之R G濾色層之 分光特性成爲色濃度爲淡之設計。 本纸張尺度適用中國國家標準(CNS ) A4規格(210X 297公釐) -5- 1224224 A7 B7 五、發明説明(3 ) (請先閲讀背面之注意事項再填寫本頁) 另一方面,若將半透過型液晶顯示裝置作爲透過型使 用時,從背面光源射出之光線,係只有一次透過濾色層。 因此,作爲透過型發揮其功能時之顯示之分光特性,係透 過一次濾色層時之分光特性,亦即,將變成濾色層之分光 特性本身一樣,使用如上述之濾色層時,將變成極爲淡色 之濃度。 相反地,於半透過型液晶顯示裝置,作爲濾色層使用 於先前之透過型液晶顯示裝置之分光特性時,作爲反射型 發揮功能時顯示亮度將顯著地不足。 像這樣,於先前之半透過型之彩色液晶顯示裝置,作 爲反射型發揮功能時顯示亮度會顯著地變暗,或,作爲透 過型發揮功能時其顯示色濃度就變淡,只能得到任一之光 學特性。 〔發明槪要〕 經濟部智慧財產局員工消費合作社印製 本發明係鑑於上述所發明者,其目的係提供一種即使 作爲反射型發揮功能時,及作爲透過型發揮功能時也可具 有充分亮度與色濃度之顯示之半透過型液晶顯示裝置。 爲了達成上述目的,有關本發明之液晶顯示裝置,係 具備;互相對向配置,在各個內面設有液晶驅動電極之前 面基板及背面基板,與; 夾持於上述前面基板與背面基板之間,因應施加電壓 將射入光之相位調變之液晶層,與在上述前面基板及背面 基板之一方基板外面依序所載置之相位差板及具有偏光軸 本紙張尺度適用中國國家標準(CNS ) A4規格(210X 297公釐) -6- 經濟部智慧財產局員工消費合作社印製 1224224 A7 ___ B7 _ 五、發明説明(4 ) 之偏光板,與形成於他方基板上之半透過半反射板,與較 上述半透過半反射板更配置於上述前面基板側之濾色層, 與配置於上述他方基板之背面側之背面光源,與及配置於 上述半透過半反射層與上述背面光源之間,將上述濾色層 之分光透過率特性相鄰之尖峰波長間之波長光選擇性地反 射之膽固醇液晶層。 若依據本發明之液晶顯示裝置之代表構成,從觀看側 依序配置有:偏光板,相位差板,濾色層,可變延遲器( retarder )層功能之光線相位調變之液晶層,選擇性反射層 ,將從背面光源之光線選擇反射,配置所透過之膽固醇液 晶層。由於此膽固醇液晶層,將背面光源之波長特性適合 於濾色層之分光透過率特性。亦即,由膽固醇液晶層,將 濾色層之尖峰波長間之波長選擇性地反射而遮斷,調整背 面光源之發光光譜。 又,有關本發明之液晶顯示裝置係備有;互相對向配 置,在各個內面設有液晶驅動電極之前面基板及背面基板 ,與;夾持於上述前面基板與背面基板之間,因應施加電 壓將射入光之相位調變之液晶層,與在上述前面基板及背 面基板之一方基板外面依序所載置之相位差板及具有偏光 軸之偏光板,與形成於他方基板上,透過反射射入光之第 1圓偏光成分與上述第1圓偏光成分相反方向之第2圓偏 光成分之選擇性反射層,與較上述選擇性反射層配置於更 上述前面基板側之第1濾色層,與配置於上述背面基板之 背面側之背面光源,與及較上述選擇性反射層配置於更上 本紙張尺度適用中國國家標準(CNS ) A4規格(210X29*7公釐) —--J---V.--AWI ^----^---訂----- (請先閱讀背面之注意事項再填寫本頁) -7- 1224224 經濟部智慧財產局員工消費合作社印製 A7 _B7五、發明説明(5 ) 述背面光源側之帶通濾波器。 上述構成之液晶顯示裝置係作爲反射型功能時,因射 入光會二次透過上述第1濾色層,所以,第1濾色層之分 光透過率特性,係被設定成二次透過之光線爲能夠著色成 所需之顏色。所以,第1濾色層之分光透過率特性,將變 成較寬頻帶之特性。 作爲透過型之功能時’從背面光源之光線因只通過一 次第1濾色層,所以射入於第1濾色層之前,藉通過帶通 濾波器將光源光線預先狹頻帶化’就可得到與先前之透過 型彩色液晶顯示裝置同樣之亮度與色濃度之顯示特性。 作爲帶通濾波器,可使用所謂干擾濾波器,或色吸收 濾波器所構成之第2濾色層。作爲干擾濾波器,例如可使 .用將複數之電介質交替地積層之電介質多層膜。又,作爲 色吸收濾波器,例如可使用在有機媒體中添加顏料或染料 者。 將選擇性反射層形成背面基板之內面,將色吸收濾波 器配置於選擇性反射層下側時,不至於因基板厚度引起之 視差,可防止由於色偏差引起之色濃度之降低。 又,將第2濾色層,設於具有薄膜電晶體等主動元件 之陣列基板時,因在掃描線,訊號線,薄膜電晶體等上形 成像素電極,所以變成可作爲層間絕緣膜倂用,而可實現 高開口率。 又,在由膽固醇液晶聚合物等所成之選擇性反射層分 散顏料,或由於混合染料使其可發揮第2濾色層層之功能 本紙張尺度適用中國國家標準(CNS ) A4規格(210X297公釐) (請先閱讀背面之注意事項再填寫本頁) -8 - 1224224 A7 _B7 五、發明説明(6 ) 時,就可將選擇性反射層與第2濾色層變成同一層,而可 削減液晶顯示裝置全體之層數。 (請先閱讀背面之注意事項再填寫本頁) 〔較佳實施例之詳細說明〕 么么邊參照圖面’就有關本發明之貫施例之半透過型液 晶顯示裝置詳細說明如下。 首先,說明有關本實施例之液晶顯示裝置1 0之基本 構成如下。如第1圖至第4圖A所示,液晶顯示裝置1 〇 係備有;從觀看者依序所配置之偏光板1 1,相位差板 1 2,濾色層5 0,光相位調變之扭轉向列液晶(twisted nematic)(以下稱爲TN)液晶層1 5,半透過半反射層 功能之選擇性反射層1 8,膽固醇液晶層6 0,背面光源 .2 1 〇 經濟部智慧財產局員工消費合作社印製 液晶顯示裝置1 〇係備有;在對向配置之2片玻璃基 板1 3,1 4間夾持光相位調變之扭轉向列(以下稱T N )液晶層1 5所形成之T N顯示元件,此T N顯示元件之 觀看者側,亦即,在玻璃基板1 3外面上,依序設有相位 差板1 2,及偏光板1 1。又,與他方之玻璃基板1 4外 面對向,設有背面光源2 4。相位差板1 2係作爲固定延 遲層,T N液晶層1 5係作爲可變延遲層分別發揮其功能 ,由這些固定及可變延遲層來構成可變延遲器。 T N液晶元件之觀看者側之玻璃基板1 3係構成陣列 基板,在玻璃基板1 3內面上,設有濾色層5 0,在此濾 色層上從透明之I TO ( Indium Tin Oxide )有多數像素電 本紙張尺度適用中國國家標準(CNS ) A4規格(210X 297公釐) -9- Ϊ224224 A7 B7 五、發明説明(7 ) (請先閲讀背面之注意事項再填寫本頁} 極1 6設成矩陣狀。又,在玻璃基板1 3上,訊號線3 2 與包括閘電極3 3之掃描線3 4設成矩陣狀,並且,視其 需要設有沒有圖示之補助電容電極。又,在訊號線3 2與 掃插線3 4之交叉部,設有作爲換接元件之薄膜電晶體( 以下稱爲T F T ) 3 1,在分別連接有像素電極1 6。 訊號線3 2及在掃描線3 4重疊形成氧化膜3 5。各 個T F T 3 1係備有:經由氧化膜3 5由設在閘電極3 3 上之非質砂(amorphous silicon) ( a — S i )所成之半導 體膜3 6,在半導體膜上經由低電阻半導體膜3 7所設之 源極電極4 1及汲極電極3 9,由鈍化膜(passivation film ) 3 8所包覆。按,各像素電極1 6係經由形成於濾色 層5 0之1 0 /zm角程度之接觸孔4 0連接於源極電極 4 1 〇 經濟部智慧財產局員工消費合作社印製 濾色層5 0係配置於像素部之全面。此濾色層5 0係 由紅,綠,藍之3原色或黃,洋紅(magenta),藏青之補 色3原色之濾色層所成,由配置成矩陣狀之像素電極1 6 及對向電極1 7將T N液晶層1 5以像素單位藉控制電場 由加法混色進行彩色顯示。作爲濾色層5 0係使用分光特 性爲如第6圖所示之高透過率(透過率,C I E — XYZ 素色系(Standard ColorimetricSystem)之 Y 値,爲 4 0% 以上)者。此時,在屋外之亮處,不點燈背光將外光作爲 光源進行顯示時,因可提高顯示圖像之亮度所以較佳。 另一方面,T N液晶元件背面側之玻璃基板1 4係構 成對向基板。在與玻璃基板1 4之像素電極1 6對向之面 本紙張尺度適用中國國家標準(CNS ) A4規格(210X 297公釐) -10- 1224224 A7 B7 五、發明説明(8 ) (請先閲讀背面之注意事項再填寫本頁) ,約略全面地形成有由I T〇等之透明導電膜所成之對向 電極1 7。在玻璃基板1 4與對向電極1 7之間,設有將 膽固醇液聚合化呈薄膜狀,具半透過半反射層功能之選擇 性反射層1 8,及膽固醇液晶層6 0。 按,對向電極1 7係同時進行通常之遮蔽噴濺(mask sputter )法成膜與形成圖案(patterning )較佳。此時,形 成對向電極1 7時,可使膽固醇液晶層6 0之製程負荷成 爲極少。 接觸於上述陣列基板及對向基板之T N液晶層1 5之 面,分別形成有沒有圖示之取向膜。這些取向膜係形成爲 互相之取向軸成爲直交,藉此T N液晶層1 5之扭轉角係 成爲9 0 ° 。 又,陣列基板與基向基板,係由沿著兩基板之周緣部 (密封部)4 2所塗敷之密封材4 3互相貼合。 經濟部智慧財產局員工消費合作社印製 設於玻璃基板1 4背面側之背面光源2 1具備;例如 丙烯等之透光性平板所成之導光體2 2,與配置於導光體 側面之線狀光源2 4,與設於導光體背面之散射反射層 2 3° 接著,將上述液晶顯示裝置1 0之更加詳細構成,連 同其動作原理說明之。 如第5圖所示,由膽固醇液晶構成之選擇性反射層 1 8,係到達其一主面之射入光之中只反射左圓偏光成分 或右圓偏光成分,而透過與反射成分相反方向之右圓偏光 成分或左圓偏光成分,又,到達相反主面之射入光之中只 本紙張尺度適用中國國家標準(CNS ) A4規格(210X297公釐) 1224224 A7 B7 五、發明説明(9 ) (請先閱讀背面之注意事項再填寫本頁) 反射左圓偏光成分或右圓偏光成分,具有透過右圓偏光成 分或左圓偏光成分之機能。若將此情形從一主面側觀看時 ,射出於一主面側之反射光與從背面側之透過光之迴轉方 向爲相等,射出於背面側之透過光與反射光之迴轉方向也 相等。於第5圖,圓偏光LI ,L2,L1/ ,L2>之 迴轉方向,係都表示從選擇性反射層1 8之主面1 8 f側 所觀察之狀態。 構成選擇性反射層1 8之膽固醇液晶,係假定乘上其 液晶分子1 9之扭轉節距p與平均折射率η之η p値,爲 與射入光之波長λ相等。液晶分子1 9若從觀察側觀看具 有左向螺旋構造時,從其主面1 8 f射入之外光L f之中 ,左圓偏光成分之光線就在主面1 8 f反射。此反射光 .L 1係由於反射對於進行方向迴轉方向倒反,雖然成爲右 向之圓偏光射出,但是若從主面1 8 f側觀看時就變成左 圓偏光。又,對於主面1 8 f之射入光L f之中,右圓偏 光成分之光線L 2就透過他方之主面1 8 b側。 經濟部智慧財產局員工消費合作社印製 膽固醇液晶,若η p値相等於射入光之波長λ時,具 有其螺旋方向(左向或右向)相等方向(左向或右向)之 圓偏光成分反射1 0 0%之機能。 另一方面,從他主面1 8 b射入之外光L b之中,對 於進行方向左圓偏光成分之光線,係對於在主面1 8 b所 反射之進行方向變成迴轉方向倒反之右圓偏光成分之光線 L2 >。又,外光Lb之中,對於進行方向右圓偏光成分 之光線係透過選擇性反射層1 8從主面1 8 f射出’但是 本紙張尺度適用中國國家標準(CNS ) A4規格(210X 297公釐) -12- 1224224 A7 _ B7 五、發明説明(10 ) ,若將此光線從主面1 8 f側觀察時就變成左圓偏光成分 之光線L 1 /。 (請先閱讀背面之注意事項再填寫本頁) 於具備這種選擇性反射層1 8之液晶顯示裝置1〇, 若從觀察面側射入外光L f時,具有沿著偏光板1 1之偏 光軸方向之振動方向之直線偏光成分之光線被取出,而抵 達由相位差板1 2及液晶層1 5所成之可變延遲器。可變 延遲器係將光線之相位差量成爲可變者,理想爲由將射入 光之特定方向之振動成分對於與此直交之振動成分延遲λ / 4 ( λ :射入光波長)之固定延遲器(相位差板1 2 ) ,與因應施加電壓將射入光之特定方向之振動成分之相位 對於與此直交之振動成分相對性地延遲λ / 2之可變延遲 層(液晶層1 5 )構成。 經濟部智慧財產局員工消費合作社印製 作爲固定延遲層,例如可使用周知之λ / 4 ’相位差板 ,藉配置成其遲相軸對於偏光板1 1之偏光軸對既定方向

Description of the invention (1) [Background of the invention] (Please read the precautions on the back before filling out this page) The present invention relates to a color liquid crystal display device with a color filter layer, especially a rear light source and reflection The external light reflecting plate can be used as a transflective color liquid crystal display device that functions as a reflective and transmissive color liquid crystal display device. In recent years, liquid crystal display devices have been used in various fields such as display of notebook personal computers (pc), monitors, car navigation, function computers, small and medium-sized televisions, and the like. It has been under review. In particular, since reflective liquid crystal display devices do not require a back light, they want to use the benefits of low power consumption and thinness and light weight, and they are used in portable PC and other portable device displays. However, the conventional reflective liquid crystal display device uses external light to display the same as paper. Therefore, if the use environment itself is dark, the display screen becomes dark and cannot be used. It is completely unavailable, especially in the dark. Printed by the Consumer Cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs for this problem, it can be used as a transmissive liquid crystal display device using a back light source in a dark environment, and the reflective plate can be a semi-transparent reflective plate, such as a half mirror. Developed a semi-transmissive liquid crystal display device with a back light source. In addition, it has been reviewed that a semi-transmissive liquid crystal display device is provided in a reflecting plate with a pin hole corresponding to each pixel, and a micro lens is arranged for each pixel. According to this liquid crystal display device, when used as a reflective liquid crystal display device, only the pinhole component reduces the brightness of the display screen compared with a normal reflective liquid crystal display device. In addition, if the paper size is applied as a transmissive liquid crystal display device to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X297 mm) -4- 1224224 A7 B7 V. Description of the invention (2) (Please read the precautions on the back before (Fill in this page) In use, the light emitted from the back light source is focused by a micro lens and passed through a pinhole, and the brightness of the display screen is the same as that of a normal transmissive liquid crystal display device. This improves the brightness of the transflective liquid crystal display device. This semi-transmissive liquid crystal display device can display color display by providing a color filter layer. That is, the previous semi-transmissive color liquid crystal display device was composed of a filter plate, a front substrate, a color filter layer, a driving electrode, a liquid crystal layer, a back substrate, a semi-reflective plate, and a back light source in order. The color filter is located in front of the reflector, that is, on the viewer's side. Therefore, when the liquid crystal display device functions as a reflective type, external light is incident from the front substrate side, passes through the color filter layer, is reflected by the reflective plate, and is emitted through the liquid crystal layer and the color filter layer to the outside. That is, it will become through 2. Light path of the secondary color filter. Therefore, the color filter layer is the same as a normal reflection type color liquid crystal display device, and the color filter layer is used to obtain the desired spectral characteristics when the light is transmitted twice. When printed by the Consumer Cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs as a reflective liquid crystal display device, the light source is external light and the light intensity cannot be freely controlled. In addition, if a polarizing plate is used, the transmittance of the entire element cannot be sufficient, so the spectral characteristics of the color filter layer are such that when the maximum transmittance is regarded as 1, the minimum transmittance also becomes 0.  1 or more. Therefore, the spectral characteristics of the color filter layer are designed to change to a light-colored density to a degree that a sufficient coloration cannot be obtained when the color filter layer is transmitted only once. In fact, the spectral characteristics of the above-mentioned color filter layer when the light is transmitted through the second time are lighter than the spectral characteristics of the R G color filter layer used in the previous transmissive liquid crystal display device. This paper size applies to Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X 297 mm) -5- 1224224 A7 B7 V. Description of invention (3) (Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) On the other hand, if When a transflective liquid crystal display device is used as a transmissive type, the light emitted from the rear light source passes through the color filter layer only once. Therefore, the spectral characteristics of the display when the transmission type exerts its function are the spectral characteristics when the color filter layer is transmitted once, that is, the spectral characteristics of the color filter layer will become the same. When using the color filter layer as described above, It becomes extremely light-colored. On the contrary, when a transflective liquid crystal display device is used as a color filter layer in the spectral characteristics of a conventional transmissive liquid crystal display device, the display brightness is significantly insufficient when it functions as a reflective type. In this way, in the conventional semi-transmissive color liquid crystal display device, the display brightness becomes significantly darker when it functions as a reflection type, or the display color density becomes lighter when it functions as a transmission type, and only one of them can be obtained. Optical characteristics. [Summary of Invention] The present invention was printed by the Consumer Cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs in view of the inventors mentioned above, and its purpose is to provide a device with sufficient brightness even when functioning as a reflection type and functioning as a transmission type.

According to the representative structure of the liquid crystal display device according to the present invention, from the viewing side, a liquid crystal layer having a phase adjustment function of light rays, such as a polarizing plate, a retardation plate, a color filter layer, and a variable retarder layer function, is sequentially arranged. The reflective reflective layer selectively reflects the light from the light source on the back side, and arranges the cholesteric liquid crystal layer transmitted therethrough. Due to this cholesteric liquid crystal layer, the wavelength characteristics of the back light source are suitable for the spectral transmittance characteristics of the color filter layer. That is, the cholesteric liquid crystal layer selectively reflects and cuts off the wavelength between the peak wavelengths of the color filter layer, and adjusts the light emission spectrum of the light source on the back.

When the liquid crystal display device of the above structure functions as a reflection type, the incident light will pass through the first color filter layer twice, so the spectral transmittance characteristics of the first color filter layer are set to the light transmitted through the second time. To be able to be colored to the desired color. Therefore, the spectral transmittance characteristic of the first color filter layer will be changed to a wider frequency band characteristic. As a transmissive function, 'the light from the back light source passes through the first color filter layer only once, so before entering the first color filter layer, the light source light is narrowed by a band-pass filter in advance.' The display characteristics of brightness and color density are the same as those of the conventional transmissive color liquid crystal display device. As the band-pass filter, a so-called interference filter or a second color filter layer composed of a color absorption filter can be used. As an interference filter, for example,. A dielectric multilayer film in which a plurality of dielectric layers are alternately laminated is used. As the color absorption filter, for example, a pigment or a dye added to an organic medium can be used. When the selective reflection layer is formed on the inner surface of the back substrate, and the color absorption filter is arranged under the selective reflection layer, the parallax caused by the thickness of the substrate is not prevented, and the decrease in color density due to color deviation can be prevented. In addition, when the second color filter layer is provided on an array substrate having an active element such as a thin film transistor, a pixel electrode is formed on a scanning line, a signal line, a thin film transistor, or the like, so that it can be used as an interlayer insulating film. A high aperture ratio can be achieved. In addition, the pigment is dispersed in a selective reflection layer made of cholesteric liquid crystal polymer, or it can function as a second color filter layer due to the mixing of dyes.

The phase difference plates 12 and 2 function as fixed delay layers, and the T N liquid crystal layer 15 and 15 function as variable delay layers, respectively. These fixed and variable delay layers constitute a variable retarder. The glass substrate 1 3 on the viewer side of the TN liquid crystal element constitutes an array substrate. A color filter layer 50 is provided on the inner surface of the glass substrate 13. The color filter layer is formed from transparent I TO (Indium Tin Oxide). There are many pixel electronic paper sizes that apply the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X 297 mm) -9- Ϊ224224 A7 B7 V. Description of the invention (7) (Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page} 6 is arranged in a matrix. Furthermore, on the glass substrate 13, the signal lines 3 2 and the scanning lines 3 4 including the gate electrode 3 3 are arranged in a matrix, and an auxiliary capacitor electrode (not shown) is provided as necessary. In addition, a thin film transistor (hereinafter referred to as a TFT) 3 1 as a switching element is provided at the intersection of the signal line 32 and the scanning line 34, and the pixel electrode 16 is connected to each other. The signal line 3 2 and An oxide film 35 is formed on the scanning line 34, and each TFT 31 is provided with an amorphous silicon (a — S i) provided on the gate electrode 3 3 through the oxide film 35.

Description of invention (8) (Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page), it is almost fully formed by IT The counter electrode 17 formed by a transparent conductive film such as 〇 and the like. Between the glass substrate 14 and the counter electrode 17 are provided a selective reflection layer 18 for polymerizing cholesterol liquid into a thin film, and having a semi-transmissive and semi-reflective layer function, and a cholesterol liquid crystal layer 60. It is preferred that the counter electrode 17 is simultaneously subjected to the usual mask sputter method for film formation and patterning. At this time, when the counter electrode 17 is formed, the process load of the cholesteric liquid crystal layer 60 can be minimized.

The array substrate and the base substrate are bonded to each other by a sealing material 4 3 applied along a peripheral edge portion (seal portion) 4 2 of both substrates. The rear light source 2 1 printed on the glass substrate 1 4 on the back side of the consumer property cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs is provided with a light guide 22 made of a transparent plate such as acrylic, and the light guide 2 2 arranged on the side of the light guide. The linear light source 24 and the scattering reflection layer 23 provided on the back surface of the light guide body 3 °. Next, the above-mentioned liquid crystal display device 10 will be described in more detail, together with its operation principle. As shown in Figure 5, the selective reflection layer 18 composed of cholesteric liquid crystal reflects only the left circularly polarized component or the right circularly polarized component of the incident light reaching one of its main surfaces, and transmits the opposite direction of the reflective component. The right circular polarized component or left circular polarized component, and the incident light reaching the opposite main surface is only applicable to the Chinese paper standard (CNS) A4 (210X297 mm) 1224224 A7 B7 V. Description of the invention (9 ) (Please read the precautions on the back before filling in this page) Reflecting the left circularly polarized component or right circularly polarized component has the function of transmitting the right circularly polarized component or the left circularly polarized component. When this situation is viewed from a main surface side, the direction of rotation of the reflected light emitted from one side of the main surface is the same as the direction of rotation of transmitted light from the back side, and the direction of rotation of the transmitted light and reflected light from the back side is also equal. In Fig. 5, the rotation directions of the circularly polarized lights LI, L2, L1 /, L2 > all show the state viewed from the main surface 18 f side of the selective reflection layer 18. The cholesteric liquid crystal constituting the selective reflection layer 18 is assumed to be multiplied by the twist pitch p of its liquid crystal molecules 19 and η p 値 of the average refractive index η to be equal to the wavelength λ of the incident light. When the liquid crystal molecules 19 have a leftward spiral structure when viewed from the observation side, they enter the external light L f from the main surface 18 f, and the light of the left circularly polarized component is reflected on the main surface 18 f. This reflected light. L 1 is reversed in the direction of rotation due to reflection. Although it is a circularly polarized light emitted in the right direction, it becomes left circularly polarized light when viewed from the main surface 1 f side. Also, with respect to the incident light L f of the main surface 1 8 f, the light ray L 2 of the right circularly polarized component passes through the other main surface 1 8 b side. Cholesterol liquid crystal printed by the Consumer Cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs, if η p 値 is equal to the wavelength λ of the incident light, it has circularly polarized light with the same spiral direction (left or right) (left or right) The composition reflects 100% of the function. On the other hand, from the main surface 1 8 b into the external light L b, the light with a circularly polarized component in the direction of progress is reversed to the right of the progress direction reflected by the main surface 1 8 b Circularly polarized light L2 >. Also, among the external light Lb, light rays with a right-handed circularly polarized component are emitted through the selective reflection layer 18 from the main surface 18 f through the selective reflection layer 18, but this paper size applies the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X 297 mm) (12%) -12- 1224224 A7 _ B7 5. Description of the invention (10), if this light is viewed from the main surface 1 8 f side, it will become the light L 1 / of the left circularly polarized component. (Please read the precautions on the back before filling out this page.) For a liquid crystal display device 10 with such a selective reflection layer 18, when the external light L f is incident from the observation surface side, it has a polarizing plate 1 1 The light of the linearly polarized component of the vibration direction of the polarization axis direction is taken out and reaches the variable retarder formed by the retardation plate 12 and the liquid crystal layer 15. The variable retarder is a device that changes the phase difference of light. It is ideal to fix the vibration component of the specific direction of the incident light to the orthogonal orthogonal vibration component by λ / 4 (λ: the wavelength of the incident light). A retarder (phase difference plate 1 2) is a variable retardation layer (liquid crystal layer 1 5) that retards λ / 2 relative to the phase of the orthogonal vibration component with respect to the phase of the vibration component of a specific direction of incident light in response to an applied voltage. ) Structure. The consumer cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs prints it as a fixed delay layer. For example, a well-known λ / 4 'retardation plate can be used, and the retardation axis of the retardation axis with respect to the polarizing plate 1 1 can be set to 4 5 ° Angle, the linearly polarized light transmitted through the polarizing plate 11 is converted into circularly polarized light in a specific rotation direction. If the retardation axis of the retardation plate 12 is configured as a 45 ° right angle with respect to the polarization axis of the polarizing plate 11, the circularly polarized light emitted will have a rightward polarity. Conversely, if the phase axis of the retardation plate 12 is arranged at an angle of 45 ° with respect to the polarization axis of the polarizing plate 11, the emitted circularly polarized light will have a leftward polarity. As the variable retardation layer, for example, a well-known TN liquid crystal layer 15 is used. In addition, when the liquid crystal layer 15 is applied with a voltage (first voltage) below the threshold voltage from the power source 20, that is, when the liquid crystal layer 15 maintains the initial alignment state, the liquid crystal layer 15 emits light in a specific direction. The vibration component is the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 × 297 mm) -13- 1224224 A7 B7 for this paper size V. Description of the invention (11) (Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) The vibration component in the direction is delayed by λ / 2. As a result, the direction of rotation of the incident circularly polarized light is reversed. In addition, when the voltage of the saturation voltage (second voltage) is applied to the TN liquid crystal layer 15 to release the twisted state of the liquid crystal molecules, the incident light is emitted without being phase-modulated, so the polarity of the circularly polarized light is maintained. Its status. When the variable retardation layer is composed of the TN liquid crystal layer 15 as described above, the phase retardation by the first applied voltage and the second applied voltage by the liquid crystal layer 15 relatively occurs λ / 2. The variable retardation layer is not limited to the TN liquid crystal layer. The phase λ / 4 of the incident light is delayed from the initial orientation state when the first voltage is applied. It can also be applied when the second voltage is higher than the saturation voltage. The phase of light advances by a strong dielectric liquid crystal such as λ / 4. For the liquid crystal display device 10, for example, as the retardation plate 12, use. A λ / 4 retardation plate having a retardation axis that crosses the polarizing axis of the polarizing plate 1 1 to the right and left at an angle of approximately _ 4 5 °, and a selective reflection layer composed of a left-twisted cholesteric liquid crystal 1 8 At this time, the linearly polarized light that reaches the retardation plate 12 through the polarizing plate 11 is converted into a right circular polarized light output. Printed by the Consumer Cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs as shown in FIG. 4A, the 0FF state (V 0ff) where no voltage is applied from the power source 2 0 on the TN liquid crystal layer 15 is correctly below the threshold of the liquid crystal. In the first voltage application state (including zero voltage), the TN liquid crystal layer 15 has a spiral structure twisted by 90 ° from the upper substrate 13 to the lower substrate 14 and the liquid crystal molecules are arranged in parallel on the substrate. In this state, the right circularly polarized light incident on the TN liquid crystal layer 15 through the phase difference plate 12 is converted into left circularly polarized light due to the retarded phase λ / 2 in the TN liquid crystal layer 15 to achieve selective reflection. Layer 1 8. In addition, to this paper size, the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 × 297 mm) -14-1224224 A7 B7 ___ V. Description of the invention (12) Left circular polarized light reaching the selective reflection layer 18 is as described above 'It is totally reflected by the selective reflection layer 18. (Please read the precautions on the back before filling in this page) The reflected left circularly polarized light is incident on the T N liquid crystal layer 15 again, and the retarded phase λ / 2 ′ is converted into the right circularly polarized light again. This right circular polarized light is again output through the polarizing plate 1 1 through the phase difference plate 1 2 ′ to be linearly polarized along the polarization axis of the polarizing plate 1 1, and a bright state display can be obtained. In addition, as shown in FIG. 4B, when a second voltage higher than the saturation level is applied to the TN liquid crystal layer 15 and the TN liquid crystal layer becomes an ON state (V ο η), the TN liquid crystal releases the spiral structure. The liquid crystal molecules 19 are arranged vertically on the substrate 1 3, 1 4 'and will be in a state where the incident light will not be modulated in phase. The employee consumer cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs will print this state and shoot it from the observation surface. The light L f passes through the polarizing plate 1 1 and the retardation plate 1 2 and enters the TN liquid crystal layer 15 as a right-handed circularly polarized light. However, the phase is not rounded in this layer 15 and is still right-handed. The polarized light reaches the selective reflection layer 18. This right circularly polarized light 'will be transmitted to the back of the display element. As a result, it is possible to obtain a display in a dark state without returning light on the observation surface. The operation of the back light source 2 1 provided on the back side of the selective reflection layer 18 is described below. In the state of V0ff shown in FIG. 4A, the light from the rear side of the light source 21 is output to the light source light L b incident from the rear side for the selective reflection layer 18, and the right circularly polarized light is viewed from the side of the polarizing plate 11 To pass through the selective reflection layer 1 8, the right circularly polarized light will be reflected. In addition, the paper size of the selective reflection layer 18 applies the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X297 mm) -15-1224224 A7 B7 V. Description of the invention (13) (Please read the precautions on the back before filling This page) light is converted by the TN liquid crystal layer 15 to phase λ / 2 and converted to right circularly polarized light. Thereby, the circularly polarized light passes through the λ / 4 retardation plate 12 and becomes linearly polarized light along the polarization axis of the polarizing plate 11 and is output through the polarizing plate 11 to obtain a bright display. On the other hand, in the state of V ο η in FIG. 4B, among the light source light L b incident from the back to the selective reflection layer 18 from the back light source 21, the right-handed circle is viewed from the polarizing plate 11 side. Polarized light passes through the selective reflection layer 18 and is not subjected to phase modulation by the TN liquid crystal layer 15 and is still output in its state. Then, the light passes through the retardation plate 12 to become linearly polarized light having a vibration direction orthogonal to the polarization axis of the polarizing plate 11 and is absorbed by the polarizing plate 11. As a result, a dark display can be obtained. Printed by the Consumer Cooperatives of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs in the state of V 〇 f f and V ο η of the liquid crystal layer 15 of Ding N, by choice. The right circularly polarized light reflected by the reflective reflective layer 18 is returned to the back light source 21 side, but when it reaches the diffuse reflective layer 23 mounted on the back of the back light source 21, its polarization component is decomposed. Instead, it will have a leftward circular polarization component. The right circularly polarized light component passes through the selective reflection layer 18, so 'repeatedly reflected between the diffuse reflection layer 23 and the selective reflection layer 18' Ideally, all reflected light is converted into leftward circularly polarized light, Output to the observation surface side. Therefore, the utilization efficiency of the light from the linear light source 24 can be greatly improved in addition to the time division by the absorption of the scattering reflection layer 23. According to the above configuration, if the retardation plate 12 is arranged so that its retardation axis is approximately 45 degrees from the polarization axis of the polarizing plate 11 to the left, the cholesteric liquid crystal constituting the selective reflection layer 18 will be used. If the twist direction is right, the same operation as above can be achieved. This paper size applies the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X297mm) -16-Printed by the Consumer Cooperatives of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economy 1224224 A7 __ B7 V. Description of the invention (14) If the basis is constituted by the liquid crystal as described above The reflection / transmission relationship of the display device 10 with respect to the light incident from the main surface of the selective reflection layer 18 and the reflection / transmission relationship with respect to the light incident from the back are related to the rotation of the incident circularly polarized light The directions become the same relationship. Therefore, in the 0 F F state where the phase of the incident light is modulated by the variable retarder, a bright state display can be obtained, and when the liquid crystal layer 15 does not modulate the ON state of the phase, a dark state display can be obtained. Therefore, a display element having the same structure can use a reflective display using the external light L f incident from the polarizing plate 11 side and a transmissive display using the light L b on the rear light source 21. At the same time, when you want to use external light, and when you use the back light source 21, you can get a very high light utilization efficiency display. For bright display. In addition, by forming the selective reflection layer 18 inside the TN liquid crystal element belonging to the variable retarder, the parallax of the substrate 14 disappears compared with the case where the selective reflection layer is disposed on the substrate 14. In the above-mentioned embodiment, although the twisted nematic liquid crystal element is used as a variable retarder, if the phase of the incident light is shifted by one-half or the phase can be controlled by the electric field, it can be used. The same effects as described above are obtained. For example, as another embodiment, a horizontally-aligned nematic liquid crystal element in which a conventionally known nematic liquid crystal is aligned in parallel to a substrate direction may be used, and a nematic liquid crystal may be vertically aligned in a substrate direction. A vertical alignment type nematic liquid crystal element. Alternatively, an anti-ferroelectric liquid crystal element, a ferroelectric liquid crystal element, or the like may be used to shift the phase of polarized light incident on the liquid crystal layer to the right by a quarter of a wavelength or to the left by a quarter The wavelength can be controlled by the electric field. This paper size applies to Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X 297 mm) I—J ---—---- ^ --- Order —---- (Please read the precautions on the back before filling in this Page) -17- 1224224 A7 B7 V. Description of the invention (15) For example, as a variable retarder, a nematic liquid crystal with horizontal orientation of the substrate is used, and a horizontally oriented nematic with a means for applying an electric field is provided in the plane direction of the liquid crystal layer. In the case of a liquid crystal element, the liquid crystal layer is multiplied by the refractive index anisotropy Δη of the liquid crystal material and Δ nd 値 of the thickness d of the liquid crystal layer, and becomes approximately 140 nm. As a result, it will function as a quarter wave plate. By applying an electric field in the plane direction to the liquid crystal layer, if the liquid crystal molecules are changed in plane orientation by 90 ° throughout the thickness of the liquid crystal layer, the angle formed by the polarizing axis of the polarizing plate and the alignment direction of the liquid crystal molecules is taken as the crossing angle. 4 5 °, for the light incident from the observation side, the linearly polarized light incident on the liquid crystal layer can be emitted as right- and left-circular polarized light. Therefore, the selective reflection layer 1 8 which can selectively reflect circularly polarized light can polarize the incident light and cause it to reflect / transmit. Also, for the slave substrate 1 4. The light incident on the rear surface side is circularly polarized light obtained through the selective reflection layer 18, and the two linearly polarized lights with completely opposite polarities can be polarizedly converted. In this way, even for light rays entering from the upper side of the substrate 13, even for light rays entering from the lower side of the substrate 14, the same display state can be obtained with the same voltage state. The selective reflection layer 18 used in the liquid crystal display device 10 has the above-mentioned functions and functions for light of all wavelengths in the visible light range, but it is desired to obtain achromatic black and white or color reproducible color display. On the better. For example, as in the above embodiment, a selective reflection layer is formed by a cholesteric liquid crystal layer. At 18 o'clock, multiply by the spiral pitch p and the average refractive index η p 胆固醇 of the cholesteric liquid crystal polymer, such as the shortest wavelength from the visible light wavelength. The paper size applies the Chinese National Standard (CNS) Α4 specification (210 × 297 mm) (Please read the notes on the back before filling out this page) Binding and ordering Printed by the Employees 'Cooperatives of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs -18- Printed by the Employees' Cooperatives of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs 1224224 A7 B7___ V. Invention Description (16) The longest wavelength of the column can be obtained by changing the spiral pitch to a spiral structure that continuously changes along the thickness direction of the layer to obtain polarized light reflection energy corresponding to all wavelengths in the visible light field. The rod-like polymer constituting the cholesteric liquid crystal has a spiral structure, and when incident to light parallel to the axis of the spiral, it will reflect the wavelength of light having equal spiral pitch to the Bragg. That is, a light beam having a wavelength equal to η p 値 is taken as the central wavelength, and the Bragg reflection is obtained by multiplying the refractive index anisotropy Δ η and the spiral pitch ρ Δ η ρ 値 by the same bandwidth (wavelength range). According to the above, the refractive index anisotropy Δη represents the difference between the refractive index along the long axis direction of the rod-like liquid crystal polymer and the refractive index along the short axis direction, and the average refractive index is determined by The refractive index of the liquid crystal polymer in the long axis direction and the square root of the sum of the powers in the short axis direction and the square power are calculated. However, the refractive index anisotropy of the cholesteric liquid crystal △ η only exists between 0 and 0.  3, and the average refractive index η of cholesteric liquid crystal also exists only 1.  4 ~ 1 · 6, so it is difficult to match the central wavelength of the above Bragg reflection with the central wavelength (approximately 550 nm) of the visible wavelength. Therefore, as described above, it is extremely effective to change the helical pitch of the cholesteric liquid crystal along the thickness direction of the liquid crystal layer to obtain polarized light reflection in the entire visible light wavelength range. To obtain a cholesteric liquid crystal layer with such a spiral pitch change, two or more types of cholesteric liquid crystal polymer layers having different pitches are continuously laminated. When a cholesteric liquid crystal material is applied to a substrate and cured, after the application, The film surface of this paper applies the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 × 297 mm) ---- 1 ------- batch clothes ---- Ί I--order ----- (please Read the precautions on the back before filling in this page) -19- 1224224 A7 B7 V.

(Please read the precautions on the back before filling in this page.) In the above embodiment, a voltage between Von and Vff is applied as the voltage applied to the variable retardation layer. Of course, the intermediate color can also be displayed. From the above, when the liquid crystal display device 10 is operated using external light as a reflective display element, and when the back light source 21 is operated as a transmissive display element, high light utilization efficiency can be achieved. As described above, each of the T F T 3 1 provided on the array substrate, and the gate electrode 33 has a bottom gate structure disposed under the semiconductor film 36. At this time, the external light is incident from the array substrate toward T F T 3 1, and is not incident on the semiconductor film 36 which is shielded by the gate electrode 33. the result . If the liquid crystal display device 10 is used outdoors, it can prevent the display contrast of the light leakage current caused by external light from decreasing. The consumer cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs printed on the boundary portion of the transparent pixel electrode 16 because it is equipped with any of the wiring electrodes 3 2, scanning lines 3 4, and auxiliary capacitor lines. Therefore, it is used as the back light source 2 When the 1 transflective liquid crystal display device is used, the light from the back light source is prevented from leaking, so as not to reduce the contrast. The sealant used for bonding the array substrate and the counter substrate is preferably applied in a field where the selective reflection layer 18 of the counter substrate is not formed. Adhesiveness of the sealant on the selective reflective layer 18 is poor. For long-term use of more than 10,000 hours, there may be reliability problems such as substrate peeling. In addition, when an over coat having good sealing properties is applied to the selective reflection layer 18, the above-mentioned problem of reliability can be avoided.

Description of the invention (18), for example, acrylic resins commonly used in color filter layers can be used . On the other hand, in the above-mentioned liquid crystal display device 10, the cholesteric liquid crystal layer 60 provided between the glass substrate 14 and the selective reflection layer 18 will function as a band filter of the back light source 21. In other words, the cholesteric liquid crystal layer 60 is the product of the helical pitch p of the cholesteric liquid crystal and the average refractive index η of the cholesteric liquid crystal polymer, pn, if the wavelength of light is between the peak wavelengths of the spectral transmittance characteristics of the color filter layer 50. In the range of 470 to 5 1 Onm, if the range is 5 60 to 6 OOnm, the spiral pitch has a spiral structure that continuously changes along the thickness direction of the liquid crystal layer. Therefore, among the circularly polarized components of the light emitted from the back light source 21, the components in the range of 470 to 510 nm and the range of 560 to 600 nm are reflected by the cholesterol liquid crystal layer 60 and are not transmitted through selective reflection. Layer 1 8. Fig. 7 shows the transmittance wavelength dispersion characteristics of the cholesteric liquid crystal layer 60. The twist direction of the spiral pitch is the same direction as the twist pitch of the cholesteric liquid crystal of the selective reflection layer 18. In the same direction, manufacturing becomes easy when the cholesteric liquid crystal layer 60 is continuously formed with the selective reflection layer 18.

Description of the invention (19) The near peaks are in the range of 470 ~ 51nm, 560 ~ 600nm (please read the precautions on the back before filling in this page). The range also has extra spikes. In addition, daylight-color fluorescent lamps have a larger light emission range in these ranges. However, since the cholesterol liquid crystal layer 60 can effectively block light having a wavelength in the range of 470 to 510 nm and 560 to 600 nm, any fluorescent lamp can be used. The red, blue, and green color reproduction range when the liquid crystal display device 10 as described above is measured in a dark place and the back light source 21 is measured is shown as a solid line A in FIG. 10. Also, for comparison, the cholesterol liquid crystal layer 60 is removed from the liquid crystal display device 10, and the linear light source 24 of the linear light source is replaced by a linear fluorescent light source 24 instead of a 3-color tube. Fig. 10 is indicated by dotted line B. It is clear from these comparisons that the liquid crystal display device 10 of this embodiment has a wide color reproduction range, especially red and green, with good reproducibility.

In this example, if the cholesterol liquid crystal layer 60 considers the transmittance of 5 50 nm as 1, the maximum transmittance in the range of 4 70 to 5 10 nm Is 0 · 〇6, the maximum transmittance in the range of 560 ~ 600nm will become 0.  0 0 8 degree. After various attempts at the transmittance of the cholesterol liquid crystal layer 60, these maximum transmittances are about 0.  At 1 or less, it is known that good color reproducibility can be obtained. According to the above-mentioned embodiment, although the twist direction of the liquid crystal molecules of the cholesterol liquid crystal layer 60 is matched with the twist direction of the cholesteric liquid crystal of the selective reflection layer 18, the reverse direction may be formed instead. In addition, the cholesteric liquid crystal layer 60 can have a layer having a maximum transmittance in a range of 470 to 5 1 0 nm, and a layer having a maximum transmittance in a range of 5 6 to 6 0 0 nm.

Description of invention (20) Transmission layer can also be discontinuous with multiple layers with different spiral pitches地 Forming. As described above, according to the liquid crystal display device 10 of the present invention, when external light is used as a reflective display element, and when a rear light source is used as a transmissive display element, in any case, the color reproducibility is unlikely Change, you can get a high-brightness display day. Therefore, it is not necessary to increase the brightness of the back light source when using the back light source as a supplement during reflective display, or to reduce power consumption. A liquid crystal display device according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described below. As shown in FIG. 11 and FIG. 12, according to the second embodiment, the T N liquid crystal layer 1 5 is sandwiched between one pair of glass substrates 1 3, 1 4 arranged in the opposite direction.

In this state, the right circularly polarized light incident on the light L f outside the TN liquid crystal layer 15 through the polarizing plate 11 and the phase difference plate 12 is converted in the TN liquid crystal layer 15 due to the phase retardation λ / 2 It reaches the selective reflection layer 18 for left circularly polarized light. In addition, the left circularly polarized light reaching the selective reflection layer 18 is totally reflected by the selective reflection layer 18 and incident on the TN liquid crystal layer 15 again. Here, the phase is delayed by / 2 again, and is converted to _ Right circular polarized light output. Since this right circularly polarized light passes through the retardation plate 12 again, it becomes linearly polarized light along the polarization axis of the polarizing plate 11, and is output through the polarizing plate 11 to obtain a bright display. Further, as shown in FIG. 13, when a second voltage higher than the saturation level is applied to the TN liquid crystal layer 15 and the TN liquid crystal layer is in an ON state (V ο η), the TN liquid crystal system is released from the spiral structure.

In addition, the light passing through the selective reflection layer 18 is modulated by the T N liquid crystal layer 15 to phase λ / 2, and is converted into right-handed circularly polarized light. The circularly polarized light passes through the retardation plate 1 2 and becomes linearly polarized light along the polarization axis of the polarizing plate 11. The circularly polarized light is output through the polarizing plate 11 to obtain a bright display. Figure 13 shows the state of ¥ 〇11, incident on the light source light L b of the selective reflection layer 18 output from the rear light source 21, and from the polarizing plate. The circularly polarized light from the left to the right through the 11 side passes through the selective reflection layer 1 ′ 8 and is not affected by the phase modulation of the T N liquid crystal layer 15, and is still output in its state. In addition, this light passes through the retardation plate 12 and becomes linearly polarized light having a vibration direction orthogonal to the polarization axis of the polarizing plate 5 and is absorbed by the polarizing plate 11.
