Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Provided is a liquid crystal display device which includes: a pair of transparent substrates which are arranged to face each other in an opposed manner with a liquid crystal layer sandwiched therebetween; a non-self-luminous display part having at least a light transmitting region which allows light to pass therethrough and a light shielding region which shields light; and a backlight part, wherein the transparent substrate arranged on a backlight part side includes a reflection film formed of a metal thin film in which an opening region corresponding to the light transmitting region is formed on a liquid crystal layer side of the transparent substrate on the backlight part side, and the backlight light incident on the opening region passes through the opening region, and the backlight light incident on a region where the reflection film is formed is reflected toward the backlight part side.
