Abstract
A liquid crystal display device in which a back light is arranged below a liquid crystal display panel having a plurality of pixels arrayed on a transparent substrate surface and in which a prism plate having a plurality of stripe grooves arrayed in parallel is arranged between the liquid crystal display panel and the back light. If the stripe grooves has a pitch .lambda..sub.1 (mm) and if the pixels in parallel with the stripe grooves has a pitch .lambda..sub.2 (mm), the liquid crystal display device is constructed to satisfy a relation of .lambda..sub.1 .ltoreq.0.075.lambda..sub.2 /(.lambda..sub.2 +0.075). This construction can increase the brightness of the back light and prevent the interference fringes from being formed on the display frame.
