The invention provides a semi-transparent reflective liquid crystal
display device in which bright display, high contrast, and less
viewing-angle dependency are possible in a transmission mode. In the
liquid crystal display device according to the present invention, a
polarizing plate can be disposed on the upper side of a liquid crystal
cell in which a semi-transparent reflective layer is formed on a lower
substrate and the thickness of a liquid crystal layer in a transmissive
display region can be made to be different from the thickness of a liquid
crystal layer in a reflective display region by a layer-thickness
adjusting layer. A uniaxially stretched phase difference film can be
interposed between the polarizing plate and the liquid crystal cell, and
a liquid crystal film fixed in nematic hybrid alignment can be interposed
between the phase difference film and the liquid crystal cell. A
polarizing plate can be disposed on the lower side of the liquid crystal
cell, a uniaxially stretched phase difference film can be interposed
between the polarizing plate and the liquid crystal cell, and a liquid
crystal film fixed in nematic hybrid alignment can be interposed between
the phase difference film 6 and the liquid crystal cell.
