A first phase plate and a third phase plate, which constitute a polarizer structure, cooperate to impart a phase difference of a ¼ wavelength to linearly polarized light that emerges from a first polarizer plate. A second phase plate and a fourth phase plate cooperate to impart a phase difference of a ¼ wavelength to linearly polarized light that emerges from a second polarizer plate. Slow axes in planes of the first phase plate and the second phase plate are substantially parallel. A crossed-axes angle between slow axes in planes of the first phase plate and the third phase plate is 60°, a crossed-axes angle between slow axes in planes of the second phase plate and the fourth phase plate is 60°, and a crossed-axes angle between slow axes in planes of the third phase plate and fourth phase plate is 60°.

A flat panel display device includes a polarizer, a polarized light reflection layer made of a cholesteric liquid crystal layer, a fixed retarder layer to delay an incident light phase by &lgr;/4, and a variable retarder layer to shift an incident light phase by &lgr;/2 in response to applied voltages. The fixed and variable retarder layers are held between the polarizer and the polarized light reflection layer. A retardation plate and a second polarizer are disposed behind the polarized light reflection layer to transform incident light into a circularly polarized light component of which rotation direction is the same as that of the circularly polarized light selectively reflected from the polarized light reflection layer. The flat panel display device is used as reflection type and semi-transmission type displays with high light efficiency of light utilization and high brightness as well as low power consumption.

摘要:
Between the substrates with electrodes arranged to face each other, there is held a neamtic liquid crystal layer having a molecular arrangement capable of obtaining two or more directions of the tilt direction when an electric field is applied. The electrode structure is formed by a region having the conductive sections the width of which is 50 .mu.m or less in the widest part and the non-conductive sections the width of which is 50 .mu.m or less in the widest part per pixel. Between the substrates arranged to face each other, the conductive sections and non-conductive sections are opposed to each other at least per pixel in a part of the region in the pixel, and given the width of the narrowest part of the non-conductive sections as S, and the distance between the electrodes of the substrates arranged to face each other as D, the relationship of D.gtoreq.S/2 is satisfied. With this structure, it is possible to obtain a liquid crystal display device having a high light scattering characteristic at a low driving voltage, and also, with a high gradation having a bright contrast ratio. There is no inverted display even when a gradation display is executed, and a liquid crystal display device can be obtained with an extremely wide viewing angle. These characteristics can be sufficiently maintained in practice in a state of a voltage being applied.
