Problems solved by technology

[0009] However, in the method described in Patent Document 1, since there are three polarizing layers, the transmittance is greatly reduced.
In addition, in the method described in Patent Document 2, since an anisotropic scattering layer is disposed on the display surface, the display is easily affected by external light and characters are blurred. In addition, characters are blurred by the scattering layer.
In this way, there is no technology that can improve the viewing angle characteristics without using a special compensation layer or a scattering layer, and there is still room for improvement.

Abstract

Disclosed is a liquid crystal display device of which viewing angle characteristics are improved without reducing the transmittance. Specifically disclosed is a liquid crystal display device which comprises a liquid crystal display panel including a liquid crystal layer and a pair of substrates that hold the liquid crystal layer therebetween and a backlight unit disposed at the rear side of the liquid crystal display panel. One of the pair of substrates is provided with a pair of comb-shaped electrodes of which comb teeth alternately engage with each other with a gap interposed therebetween. The liquid crystal layer includes liquid crystal molecules with positive dielectric anisotropy, and the liquid crystal molecules are oriented perpendicular to a surface of the one of the substrates while voltage is not applied. A difference between the proportion of the liquid crystal molecules oriented at angles of 20 DEG to 60 DEG and -60 DEG to -20 DEG with respect to the surface of the one of the substrates to the entire liquid crystal molecules included in the liquid crystal layer while white is displayed and the proportion of light beams entering the surface of the one of the substrates at angles of 20 DEG to 60 DEG and -60 DEG to -20 DEG to the entire light beams emitted from the backlight unit and entering the liquid crystal display panel is less than 20%.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a liquid crystal display device. More specifically, it relates to a liquid crystal display device suitable for a display method in which the initial alignment of liquid crystal molecules is vertical alignment and the mode of liquid crystal molecules is controlled by generating an electric field (for example, a lateral electric field). Background technique [0002] Liquid crystal display devices are characterized by thinness, light weight, and low power consumption, and are widely used in various fields. In general, a liquid crystal display device is provided with a backlight unit for display, and light emitted from the backlight unit is controlled by liquid crystals. [0003] As a light source, sunlight can also be reflected and used in displays. Liquid crystal display devices such as word processors, notebook personal computers, and vehicle displays are mainly used indoors, or a certain amount of light is often requir...
