Abstract
A light-shielding plate and a first light-shielding layer are arranged between a polarizing plate and a liquid crystal layer in a peripheral region of a liquid crystal panel so that linearly polarized light transmitted through the polarizing plate, which is a reflection polarizing plate, is not incident on the liquid crystal layer, but is reflected to the polarizing plate in the peripheral region.
