A lens cap () is arranged to cover a light-emitting surface () of a light source (), the lens thereby guiding light from the light source () in oblique directions relative to the light source (). The lens cap () includes, in a planar view, a light transmitting region () and a light blocking region (), the light transmitting region () divided into a plurality of light transmitting regions by the light blocking region () so that the light from the light source () passes through the plurality of light transmitting regions () and is separated into beams traveling in different directions.

A liquid crystal display is described which includes a pair of transparent substrates disposed opposite each other sandwiching a liquid crystal layer therebetween, with a transparent electrode and an alignment film formed on the liquid crystal layer side of each of the substrates. The transparent electrodes disposed opposite each other in pairs are at two or more different spacings at least within one display area of a pixel.

Liquid crystal display having two or more spacings between electrodes

A liquid crystal display device which includes a pair of substrates; a liquid crystal layer sandwiched between the pair of substrates; and an electrode for applying a voltage to the liquid crystal layer is disclosed. The liquid crystal layers includes liquid crystal molecules, and is divided into a plurality of regions having different twist angles from one another.
