On the other hand, in order to display images with good visibility in both bright and dark places, it is necessary to use an illumination light source to change the transmittance.
It is preferable to use a transparent display type that displays numbers and the like. However, since transmissive display type liquid crystal display devices use an illumination light source, structural improvements are required to make the brightness uniform across the plane, and they also consume more power than reflective display types. The problem is that it is too thick. Uniform brightness can be achieved relatively easily by, for example, diffusing light from a light source, but no effective solution has been proposed in the past regarding power consumption and thickness.
