Abstract
A liquid crystal display screen which includes a first transparent plate covered with an electrode array and a second transparent plate covered with a counter-electrode. A liquid crystal film is inserted between the first and second plates. Further, either of the first or second transparent plates is covered with a material coating which diffuses ambient light with a brightness which exceeds a brightness of the liquid crystal film in the absence of excitation. This coating may take the form of a metal, a white mineral pigment or a polymer film which contains surface microcracks. Such a liquid crystal display screen as in the present invention may find particular applications to terminals, computers, pocket calculators, etc.
