Abstract: A liquid crystal display accommodates a reflective portion with a concavo-convex reflecting pixel electrode for reflecting incident light from the display face side, and a transmissive portion with a transmissive pixel electrode for transmitting light output from the backlight. In a wide viewing angle region, luminance of the reflective portion is greater than the transmissive portion. In other angle regions, luminance of the transmissive portion is greater than the reflective portion. In a wide viewing field mode, the reflective portion and transmissive portion both perform normal display. In the narrow viewing field mode, the transmissive portion performs normal display, while the reflective portion performs cancelling data display, thereby rendering unviewable the display content of the transmissive portion from beyond a certain viewing angle.
