Abstract
A semi-transmissive liquid crystal display device of the present invention is so configured that a diffraction film and a light scattering layer are provided on a color-filter substrate on the side thereof on which a display screen resides, and the light scattering layer is disposed nearer a liquid crystal layer than the diffraction film. The semi-transmissive liquid crystal display device thus configured has improved viewing-angle characteristics in the transmissive mode.
