In the liquid crystal display device configured in this way, when used in a reflective type, the electroluminescent light emitting element 25
Transparency '11! Since the pole 22 and the light emitter layer 24 are translucent, the light incident from the front side of the upper polarizing plate 9 is transmitted to the liquid crystal display element 8. The light passes through the lower polarizing plate 10 and enters the electroluminescent light emitting element 25, and is diffusely reflected by the A1 metal' on the back side toward the front side at the pole 23. Therefore, the polarization of the light is not lost, and good reflectance can be obtained. In addition, since there is no semi-transparent plate or a member corresponding thereto in the optical path, the light (
R loss is completely eliminated. On the other hand, when using the transparent type,
As shown in the figure, a power supply 26 and a control switch 27 for turning on/off the power supply voltage are connected in Fti rows between the transparent electrode 22 and the Af metal electrode 23, and the switch 27 is turned on. By this, the light emitter layer 24 of the electroluminescent light emitting element 25 is caused to emit light A! Since it can be reflected in the front direction of the money luck electrode 23,
Sufficient light stitching can also be obtained as a light source. Further, as described above, since there is no semi-transparent plate in the optical path, there is no loss of light and a good display can be obtained.
