ABSTRACT:
In a display device100, a reflective polarizer110, a polarizer120, a retarder130, a liquid crystal panel140, a polarizer150, and a backlight160are disposed sequentially from the viewing side. When the liquid crystal panel140is set in a light blocking state or the backlight160is set in an unlit state, the reflection of an outside light “O” turns the display screen into a mirror state. When the backlight160is set in a lit state to drive the liquid crystal panel140, a transmitted light “T” allows a particular display screen to be visually recognized.
