A reflection-type liquid crystal display device of single polarizing film
type, comprises a liquid crystal element (20) comprised of twisted nematic
liquid crystal (6) sandwiched between a first substrate (1) provided with
a reflector (7) and first electrodes (3), and a second substrate (2)
provided with second electrodes (4), and a twisted retardation film (12),
a first retardation film (13), a second retardation film (14), a
polarizing film (11) that are disposed in sequence on the outer side of
the second substrate (2), so that black display having a low reflectance
is obtained over the all-wavelength region, thereby effecting bright
display in high contrast.
