(Embodiment 1) FIG. 2 is a principle view showing that the light use efficiency is improved in the liquid crystal display device of the present invention.
In FIG. 2, when light source light 203 emitted from the light source 207 as unpolarized light enters the polarization selective reflection layer A201, the linearly polarized S wave 205 is transmitted through the polarization selective reflection layer A201, but the P wave 204 is reflected. The reflected P-wave 204 enters the polarization selective reflection layer B202. At this time, if the polarization selective reflection layer B202 transmits the P wave and reflects the S wave, the reflected light from the polarization selective reflection layer A201 transmits through the polarization selective reflection layer B202. Therefore, in principle, the light source light 20

202 will be transmitted. Therefore, the light use efficiency is greatly improved as compared with the case where the conventional absorption type polarizing layer is used. Note that the polarization selectivity may have selectivity for left-handed circularly polarized light and right-handed circularly polarized light in addition to the P-wave and S-wave. The same effect can be obtained if the polarization selective reflection layer A201 and the polarization selective reflection layer B202 have different polarization selectivities.

FIG. 1 is a sectional view of a first liquid crystal display device of the present invention. Part of the light emitted from the light source 114 is condensed in the normal direction by the light condensing film 101, and then enters the polarization selective reflection layer A102. The polarization selective reflection layer A102 has a configuration that reflects a P wave and transmits an S wave. For this reason,
The S wave transmits through the liquid crystal A104 and exits from the substrate B105 (emission light A115). On the other hand, the P wave is

On the other hand, the light incident on the polarization selective reflection layer B108 from the light source has the same principle, and the P wave becomes the emission light C117 and the S wave becomes the emission light D118. Therefore, the light of the light source is emitted from one of the substrate B105 and the substrate D111 without being absorbed, and the light use efficiency is improved.

Further, by using the light-condensing film, the light from the light source is condensed in the normal direction and the polarization selectivity is improved. This is because the polarization selectivity of the polarization selective reflection layer depends on the incident angle, and the normal direction has the highest polarization selectivity.

One of the liquid crystal panels sandwiching the light guide may be a transmissive liquid crystal panel or a transflective panel, and the other may be a reflective panel. In this case, double-sided display is not possible, but when observing the display surface from one side, it is possible to switch between reflective display and transmissive (or semi-transmissive) display as necessary. For this reason, it is possible to use the reflective type with low power consumption and the transmissive type with high quality display depending on the purpose.

The polarization selective reflection layer A402 and the polarization selective reflection layer D422, and the polarization selective reflection layer B408 and the polarization selective reflection layer C412 also have different polarization selective reflection properties. Specifically, the polarization selective reflection layer A402 and the polarization selective reflection layer C412 transmit an S wave and reflect a P wave. In addition, the polarization selective reflection layer D422
And the polarization selective reflection layer B408 transmits the P wave and reflects the S wave. In addition, the liquid crystal A404 and the liquid crystal B410 are set to a display mode in which the phase of light passing through the liquid crystal layer during black display is not modulated and the phase is modulated during white display. With this configuration, the light source light incident on the liquid crystal layer at the position corresponding to the black display portion of the panel is reflected toward the light guide, and can be emitted from the white display portion of the liquid crystal layer located on the opposite side of the light guide.
