DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below more specifically with reference to the drawings.

<First Embodiment> A liquid crystal display device 10 of the present embodiment is a liquid crystal display device 10 using a reflective polarizer. First, a liquid crystal display device of this type will be described.

FIG. 1 is a schematic sectional view for explaining the principle of the liquid crystal display device 10 of the present embodiment. As shown in this figure, in the liquid crystal display device 10, the polarizing layer 12, the liquid crystal cell 14, the light scattering layer 18, the reflective polarizer 20, the colored layer film 28 as a colored layer, and the reflective layer 32 are arranged in this order. It is formed in such a way as to be laminated. In this figure, although there is a space between the layers, there is practically no space between the layers.

The liquid crystal cell 14 is formed by sealing liquid crystal between two substrates, though not shown in detail in this figure. As the liquid crystal used in the liquid crystal cell 14, various types such as a TN type and an STN type can be used as long as the liquid crystal can control a state where the linearly polarized light is rotated and a state where the light is not rotated.

The reflective polarizer 20 is disclosed in International Publication No.
5/17692) and is similar to that disclosed in FIG.
As shown in a schematic perspective view, two different layers,
That is, the A layer 23 and the B layer 24 have a structure in which many layers are alternately stacked in the Z-axis direction. Reflective polarizer 20
Is formed by laminating many layers each having a thickness of less than 1 μm, and is a thin plate having a thickness of about several hundred μm as a whole.

In the reflective polarizer 20, the A layer 23
The refractive index in the X-axis direction is Nax, and the refractive index in the Y-axis direction is Na
Assuming that y is y, the refractive index in the X-axis direction of the B layer 24 is Nbx, and the refractive index in the Y-axis direction is Nby, there is the following relationship between the refractive indices.

Nax ≠ Nay Nbx = Nby Nay = Nby The reflection polarizer 20 formed in this way transmits linearly polarized light in the Y-axis direction as it is.

Further, the reflective polarizer 20 of the present embodiment is
In a pair of the A layer 23 and the B layer 24 adjacent to each other, the thickness Ta of the A layer 23 and the thickness Tb of the B layer 24 are set to have the following relationship with respect to a predetermined wavelength λ of visible light. Is formed.

Ta · Nax + Tb · Nbx = λ / 2 (1) As described above, by forming the reflective polarizer 20,
The linearly polarized light in the X-axis direction of the wavelength λ incident on the reflective polarizer 20 from the Z-axis direction is reflected as linearly polarized light in the X-axis direction.

Further, a large number of pairs of the A layer 23 and the B layer 24 are combined with various combinations of thicknesses so that the relationship of the formula (1) is satisfied for light of various wavelengths λ in the visible region. Has become. Thereby, the reflective polarizer 20 reflects linearly polarized light in the X-axis direction over all wavelengths in the visible region as linearly polarized light in the X-axis direction.

Therefore, the reflective polarizer 20 reflects linearly polarized light in the X-axis direction as linearly polarized light in the X-axis direction and transmits linearly polarized light in the Y-axis direction as linearly polarized light in the Y-axis direction in the entire visible region.

Next, the operation of the liquid crystal display device 10 using such a reflective polarizer 20 will be described with reference to FIG. 1 by dividing into cases where the polarization direction is rotated by 90 ° by the liquid crystal cell 14 and cases where the polarization direction is not rotated. I do. Note that the liquid crystal cell 14
When an N liquid crystal is used, the linearly polarized light is not rotated when a predetermined voltage is applied between the electrodes sandwiching the liquid crystal, and the polarization direction of the linearly polarized light is rotated by 90 ° when no voltage is applied.

When the polarization direction is rotated by 90 ° by the liquid crystal cell 14, the liquid crystal display device 10 behaves as schematically shown in the right half of FIG. 1 of the light path and the direction of the plane of polarization. In this figure, the symbols drawn along the optical path are:
An asterisk-shaped symbol indicates natural light without a plane of polarization, arrows pointing to both the left and right indicate linearly polarized light in a polarization direction parallel to the paper surface, and a circle with a dot in the center indicates linearly polarized light in a polarization direction perpendicular to the paper surface. Show.

That is, the incident light 80, which is natural light incident on the liquid crystal display device 10, is converted into linearly polarized light in a direction parallel to the paper surface (Y-axis direction) by the polarizing layer 12, and
, The polarization direction is rotated by 90 °, and linearly polarized light (polarized light having a first polarization plane) in a direction perpendicular to the paper surface (X-axis direction)
And a reflective polarizer 20 that reflects linearly polarized light in the X-axis direction.
Reflected by the liquid crystal cell 1 without changing the polarization direction.
The light is rotated by 4 and becomes linearly polarized light in the Y-axis direction.

As described above, when the polarization direction is rotated by 90 ° by the liquid crystal cell 14 to become the polarized light having the first polarization plane, most of the incident light linearly polarized by the polarizing layer 12 is a reflective polarizer. Since the light is reflected by 20, the display becomes bright. Since the light scattering layer 18 is provided between the reflective polarizer 20 and the liquid crystal cell 14, the display is not mirror-like but white.

When the polarization direction is not rotated by the liquid crystal cell 14, the liquid crystal display device 10 behaves as shown schematically in the left half of FIG.

That is, the incident light 84, which is natural light incident on the liquid crystal display device 10, is converted into linearly polarized light (polarized light having a second polarization plane) in the Y-axis direction by the polarizing layer 12, and is not rotated, and is not rotated. Through the reflective polarizer 20, which transmits linearly polarized light in the Y-axis direction, the light reflected by the colored layer 28 and the light transmitted through the colored layer 28, reflected by the reflective layer 32, and transmitted through the colored layer 28 again. Is a Y-axis polarized light having the color of the colored layer, passes through the reflective polarizer 20 as it is, passes through the liquid crystal cell 14 as the Y-axis polarized light without being rotated, and passes through the polarizing layer 12 again and emits light. 86.

As described above, in the case of the polarized light having the second polarization plane without being rotated by the liquid crystal cell 14, most of the incident light that has been linearly polarized by the polarizing layer 12 passes through the reflective polarizer 20 and is colored. Partly absorbed by the layer 28,
The rest is colored and emitted from the liquid crystal display device 10. The outgoing light 86 is partially absorbed by the colored layer 28, so that the display is darker than the outgoing light 82 that is rotated 90 ° by the liquid crystal cell 14 and reflected by the reflective polarizer.
Note that since the reflective layer 32 is provided, light transmitted through the colored layer 28 is reflected by the reflective layer 32, transmitted again through the colored layer 28, and added to light reflected by the colored layer 28. The display is brighter than when there is no display.

As described above, when the linearly polarized light is rotated by 90 ° by the liquid crystal cell 14, the light reflected by the reflective polarizer 20 is scattered by the light scattering layer 18 to become a white emitted light 82. When the linearly polarized light is not rotated by the liquid crystal cell 14, the light transmitted through the reflective polarizer 20 is colored by the coloring layer 28 to become a color emission light 86.

FIG. 3 is a schematic sectional view showing a state where the liquid crystal display device 10 of the present embodiment is formed. In this figure, the liquid crystal 1 is disposed between the polarizing layer 12 and the pair of substrates 15 and 15.
6 and the reflective polarizer 2
0 and a colored layer film 28 as a colored layer are shown. Although not shown in this figure, the liquid crystal display 1
0 is formed including the scattering layer and the reflection layer.

Based on the above-described characteristics, the liquid crystal display device 10 of the present embodiment allows the liquid crystal cell 14 to convert linearly polarized light by 90 °.
A color display is performed on a white background by arranging a part to be rotated and a part not to be rotated corresponding to the display pattern. The liquid crystal cell 14 includes a liquid crystal 1 on each of a pair of substrates 15 constituting the liquid crystal cell 14 in order to form a portion for rotating the linearly polarized light by 90 ° in correspondence with the display pattern and a portion for not rotating.
An electrode is arranged on the side facing 6. A drive circuit (not shown) is connected to these electrodes, and the liquid crystal 16
The application of a predetermined voltage to the power supply can be controlled.
In such a liquid crystal display device 10, a display is generally performed using a region where incident light passes through the reflective polarizer 20 as a pixel and a region where the incident light is reflected by the reflective polarizer 20 as a background.

Further, if the colored layer 28 is made black, almost no light is emitted from the liquid crystal display device 10 in a portion that is not rotated by the liquid crystal cell 14, so that a monochrome display can be achieved. In this case, since almost no light passes through the colored layer 28, there is no need to provide the reflective layer 32.

FIG. 4 shows a liquid crystal display device 11 of a comparative example using a colored layer film 29 in which the light absorptivity is uniformly distributed, and the display density when uniform display is performed on the entire screen. It is a display example which shows distribution. In this liquid crystal display device 11, since the cell gap of the liquid crystal cell 14 is thinner at the panel peripheral portion 36, as shown in FIG.
The display density is high in the peripheral portion of.

Therefore, in the liquid crystal display device 10 of this embodiment, instead of the colored layer film used in the liquid crystal display device 11 shown in FIG. 4, the peripheral portion 30 has a lower color density as shown in FIG. A colored layer film 28 having a concentration distribution (in which the absorptivity becomes small) is used. as a result,
As described above, the color density of the pixels which are colored and displayed by the colored layer film 28 is reduced on the outer periphery of the liquid crystal display device 10 as compared with the case of the liquid crystal display device 11 shown in FIG. The distribution of the display density is made uniform. As described above, in the liquid crystal display device 10 of the present embodiment, the shading of the lighting region caused by the non-uniform cell gap of the liquid crystal cell 14 is caused by the coloring having the distribution of the absorptivity for correcting the shading. The liquid crystal display device 10 with little shading is obtained by being removed by the layer film 28.

The coloring layer film 28 is formed of the liquid crystal cell 1.
4 and the reflection polarizer 20, the variation recognized after assembling the liquid crystal cell 14,
For example, by distributing the light absorptivity of the colored layer film 28 in accordance with the shading caused by the cell gap variation due to the assembling, the shading of the display can be corrected.

FIG. 6 is an exploded perspective view of a portable telephone 60 incorporating the above-described liquid crystal display device 10 of the present embodiment. In FIG. 6, the liquid crystal display device 10
Parts other than the above are considerably omitted. Mobile phone 6
Numeral 0 includes various circuits such as a display information output source, a display information processing circuit, and a clock generation circuit on the main circuit board 62 and the like, and a power supply circuit for supplying power to these circuits.

The electronic device into which the liquid crystal display device 10 of the present embodiment is incorporated is not limited to the mobile phone 60, but may be a clock, a pager, an electronic organizer, a calculator, a POS terminal, an I
Various electronic devices such as a C card and a mini disk player are conceivable.

Second Embodiment The liquid crystal display device of the second embodiment differs from the liquid crystal display device 10 of the first embodiment in the following points. The present embodiment is the same as the first embodiment except for the following points.

FIG. 7 shows a liquid crystal display device 41 of a comparative example using a colored layer film in which light absorptivity is uniformly distributed, and the color of a pixel portion when uniform display is performed on the entire screen. It is a figure which shows a density distribution. In the liquid crystal display device 41, the length of the electrode formed on the inner surface side of the substrate 15 constituting the liquid crystal cell 14 becomes longer as it approaches the upper right corner of the screen, so that the parasitic resistance increases. Voltage decreases as it approaches the upper right corner of the screen. Therefore, in the TN type liquid crystal 16, a portion where optical rotation is left even when a display voltage as a pixel is applied is generated in a portion where the applied voltage is small. Therefore, as the liquid crystal display device 41 approaches the upper right corner of the screen, the amount of light reflected by the reflective polarizer 20 increases,
The amount of light transmitted through the reflective polarizer 20 decreases, and the amount of light colored by the colored layer film decreases. As a result, the color of the pixel portion (the portion where the polarized light passes through the reflective polarizer 20 and displays the color of the colored layer film 29) becomes pale and the brightness increases.

Therefore, in the liquid crystal display device 40 of the present embodiment, instead of the coloring layer film used in the liquid crystal display device 41 of the comparative example shown in FIG. 7, the concentration distribution as shown in FIG. A colored layer film 44 (having a large (absorptivity) color that is deeper in the upper right corner of the liquid crystal display device (having a large parasitic resistance) is used. Be uniformed.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, the shading caused by the parasitic resistance of the electrode is removed by the colored layer film 44 having the distribution of the absorptivity for correcting the shading, and the shading is reduced. The liquid crystal display device 40 is obtained.

In the case of the present embodiment, the electrodes extending vertically are connected to the drive circuit below, and the electrodes extending left and right are connected to the drive circuit on the left. This is the area where the influence of the parasitic resistance is greatest, but this position depends on where the electrode is connected to the drive circuit, and the position on the liquid crystal display device corresponding to the electrode position far from the drive circuit is affected by the parasitic resistance.

FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating a color density distribution of a pixel portion when viewed from above a vertical line at the center of the display surface. As described above, when the liquid crystal display device is large, the viewing angle from a normal viewpoint greatly differs depending on the position on the panel, and the display area 52 having a shallow viewing angle has a high color density display. In the deep region 53, the display is light in color density.

Therefore, the liquid crystal display device of the present embodiment uses the liquid crystal display device of FIG. 10 in which the liquid crystal display device 51 of FIG. In the area 55 corresponding to the position where the viewing angle is shallow, the color density is low (light absorption rate is low), and in the area 56 corresponding to the position where the viewing angle is deep, the color layer film is dark. 54 is used. Thereby, the liquid crystal display device of the present embodiment can uniformly distribute the display density.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, the shading caused by the viewing angle characteristics is removed by the colored layer film 54 having the distribution of the absorptivity for correcting the shading, and the liquid crystal display device having no shading. 50 are obtained.

In the liquid crystal display device 70 of the present embodiment, a colored layer film 74 having a distribution of color density (absorbance) for correcting such shading unevenness is formed integrally with the liquid crystal cell 72.
