Abstract
A color liquid crystal display device includes a front substrate having a surface on which a plurality of pixel electrodes are arranged in the form of a matrix, and two-terminal nonlinear resistor elements are arranged to correspond to the pixel electrodes. An aligning film covers the pixel electrodes and the nonlinear resistor elements. A rear substrate opposes the front substrate and has an inner surface on which counter electrodes are arranged to oppose the pixel electrodes, for forming a plurality of pixels. An aligning film covers the pixel and counter electrodes. A liquid crystal layer is sandwiched between the front and rear substrates and has an initial aligned state in which liquid crystal molecules are aligned in a predetermined direction by the aligning films. A polarizing member is arranged on an outer side of the front substrate such that a polarization axis of the polarizing member crosses an aligning direction of liquid crystal molecules adjacent to the aligning film on the front substrate side at an angle other than a right angle. A reflecting member is arranged on the rear substrate side. The two-terminal nonlinear resistor elements have one terminal connected to the pixel electrode, and another terminal receiving a signal voltage.
