And a plurality of linear light sources 51 provided so as to extend in parallel. Further, as shown in FIG. 1, the backlight 55 is housed inside the frame-like frame 56 on the lower side in the drawing. Here, the reflection sheet 52 is made of a metal film having a high light reflectance such as aluminum or silver having a thickness of about 0.2 mm to 0.5 mm. In the present embodiment, the backlight 55 is illustrated in which the reflective surface 52 is attached to the inner surface of the chassis 53 to impart light reflectivity to the inner surface of the chassis 53.

It may be.

The diffusion plate 57 is formed in a rectangular plate shape with a thickness of about 2 mm by using, for example, a transparent resin material or glass material. The diffusion plate 57 is configured to diffuse the light incident from the backlight 55 and emit the light to the optical sheet 60 side. Further, as shown in FIG. 1, the diffusion plate 57 is provided between the frame 56 and the backlight 55 via a pressing member 58 that can be elastically deformed on the frame 56 side. Here, the diffusion plate 57 is held movably between the chassis 53 and the pressing member 58 of the backlight 55, thereby causing heat generation of the linear light source 51, temperature rise inside the chassis 53, and the like.

Further, in the optical sheet 60, known optical sheet materials such as a prism sheet, a diffusion sheet, and a polarizing sheet for improving display quality on the liquid crystal display panel 45 are appropriately laminated as necessary. Here, as shown in FIG. 1, only one end of the optical sheet 60 is fixed between the frame 56 and the pressing member 58 via the elastic member 59 on the pressing member 58 side. It is incorporated in a stretchable state. As a result, even if expansion and contraction occurs due to the heat generated by each linear light source 51 of the backlight 55, the optical sheet 60 is prevented from being wrinkled or bent, so that the display quality such as luminance unevenness is reduced. It is suppressed.

Next, the operation of the liquid crystal display device 70a having the above configuration will be described. Here, FIG. 6 and FIG. 7 are schematic diagrams respectively showing a state in the two-dimensional display and the three-dimensional display of the liquid crystal display device 70a.

By applying a predetermined voltage for each subpixel to the liquid crystal layer 43 disposed on the liquid crystal layer 43 and changing the alignment state of the liquid crystal layer 43, the transmittance of light from the backlight 55 is adjusted for each subpixel, and liquid crystal In the panel 30a, no voltage is applied to the liquid crystal layer 25, and no parallax barrier is generated (the parallax barrier B (see FIG. 7) is made transparent), so that the same light reaches the left and right eyes, and two-dimensional. The image of is displayed.

In the three-dimensional display (second display state), as shown in FIG. 7, in the liquid crystal display panel 45, between each pixel electrode on the active matrix substrate 41 and the common electrode on the counter substrate 42. By applying a predetermined voltage for each subpixel to the liquid crystal layer 43 disposed on the liquid crystal layer 43 and changing the alignment state of the liquid crystal layer 43, the transmittance of light from the backlight 55 is adjusted for each subpixel, and liquid crystal In the panel 30a, a rectangular wave first signal and a second signal having opposite phases to each other are input to the first terminal 11t and the second terminal 12t, respectively, so that a predetermined voltage is applied to the liquid crystal layer 25 and each first By generating a stripe-shaped parallax barrier B along the direction in which the transparent electrode 11 extends, different lights reach the left and right eyes to display a three-dimensional image. Here, the liquid crystal display panel 45 includes pixels for displaying an image for the left eye along a direction orthogonal to a direction in which each first transparent electrode 11 extends in the liquid crystal panel 30a during three-dimensional display. Control is performed so that pixels for displaying an image for the right eye are arranged apart from each other.

As described above, according to the liquid crystal panel 30a of this embodiment and the liquid crystal display device 70a including the liquid crystal panel 30a, a voltage is applied between the plurality of first transparent electrodes 11 and the second transparent electrodes 16 to form a liquid crystal layer. In order for 25 to function as the parallax barrier B, the first terminal 11t of the terminal region T connected to the plurality of first transparent electrodes 11 provided on the segment side substrate 21a and the second terminal provided on the common side substrate 22a. A potential difference is easily generated between the first terminal 11t and the second terminal 12t by inputting predetermined signals to the second terminal 12t of the terminal region T connected to the transparent electrode 16 via a common transition material. Even in such a case, each of the first terminal 11t and the second terminal 12t provided in the terminal region T of the segment side substrate 21a exposed from the common side substrate 22a is covered with the alignment film 13a. Because there, corrosion resistance of the first terminal 11t and the second terminal 12t is improved. Thereby, since corrosion of the first terminal 11t and the second terminal 12t provided in the terminal region T of the parallax barrier liquid crystal panel 30a can be suppressed, the terminals of the terminals provided in the parallax barrier liquid crystal panel 30a can be suppressed. Corrosion can be suppressed.
