  • Publication number: 20230168547
    Abstract: Provide is an electrooptic substrate in which a phase shift of light reflected at the interface or the like does not affect a display state, a liquid crystal display device, and an electronic apparatus. A liquid crystal display device includes: an electrooptic substrate including a support base and transparent pixel electrodes disposed in a matrix on a front surface side of the support base; a counter substrate disposed to be opposed to the electrooptic substrate; and a liquid crystal material layer sealed between the electrooptic substrate and the counter substrate, in which a light guide corresponding to each of the transparent pixel electrodes is provided on a back surface side of the transparent pixel electrode, and a polarizer is disposed between the light guide and the transparent pixel electrode.

  • Patent number: 8279360
    Abstract: A projection type liquid crystal display apparatus includes: a light source; a liquid crystal display device; and a projection lens projecting light modulated by the liquid crystal display device. The liquid crystal display device includes a liquid crystal layer, a pixel electrode section having two-dimensionally disposed pixel apertures through which light can pass, and first and second microlens arrays formed on a light entering side and a light exiting side of the device with respect to the liquid crystal layer, respectively, and being a two-dimensional array of first and second microlenses provided in association with the pixel apertures, respectively. The F-number of the first microlenses is set at a value equal to or greater than that of the projection lens. The first and second microlenses are disposed such that the groups of microlenses are located in the focus position of each other.
