A liquid crystal display device (1) comprises a liquid crystal display
panel (3) and a reflector (5) disposed on the side of the liquid crystal
display panel, opposite from the visible side thereof. The liquid crystal
display panel (3) comprises liquid crystal (3f) sandwiched between two
transparent substrates (3a, 3b), and display electrodes (3c, 3d) made up
of a transparent and electrically conductive film provided on the inner
faces of the respective substrates (3a 3b). The reflector (5) is provided
with protrusions (5a) formed at positions corresponding to the display
electrodes (3c, 3d) on a face thereof opposite to the liquid crystal
display panel (3). Accordingly, light transmitted through the liquid
crystal display panel (3) falls on the protrusions (5a) of the reflector
(5), and respective components of light reflected from the surface of the
respective protrusion (5a) will reach the eyes of a viewer with
differences in arrival time due to the surface condition of the respective
protrusions (5a), so that information displayed by characters and so forth
is three-dimensionally perceived by the viewer.
