A liquid crystal display device includes a first substrate provided with a reflective electrode, a second substrate provided with a transparent electrode oppositely disposed to the reflective electrode, a liquid crystal layer disposed between the first second substrates, a polarization plate oppositely disposed to the first substrate with an interposition of the second substrate, and an anisotropic scattering member disposed between the second substrate and the polarization plate. A main view angle direction is set as a predetermined direction intersecting a display surface. The anisotropic scattering member has a scattering center and scatters light traveling along a scattering axis direction which is a direction having a predetermined angle range centered around the scattering center. The scattering axis direction coincides with the main view angle direction.
