Abstract

See full text

A reflection type liquid crystal display (LCD) made up of polymer dispersion type display elements each having a liquid crystal dispersion film in which liquid crystals are dispersed in a tridimensional microstructure implemented by a polymer or similar resin. Selective light reflecting or diffusing means introduces forwardly scattered light components from scattering pixels again into a liquid crystal layer without effecting non-scattering pixels. Hence, high reflection intensity and, therefore, high contrast is achieved. A light source unit is positioned such that at least a part of illumination light is reflected in the reflection angle range of the selective reflecting means. Hence, forward scattering with high scattered light intensity can be used, insuring extremely light white display.
