Abstract
A liquid crystal display module is switchable between a blocking state and a displaying state on the basis of a change, caused by applying a voltage to the liquid crystal layer, in the orientation of liquid crystal molecules contained in the liquid crystal layer, the blocking state being a state in which transmitting light is concentrated to a blocking region on an initial optical axis, the displaying state being a state in which transmitting light is concentrated to a light-emitting region on a voltage-induced optical axis different from the initial optical axis.
