Abstract
It is an object of the invention to obtain a liquid crystal display device which has a high light transmittance in a bright portion, can effectively use incident light, and can perform a high-contrast display. This liquid crystal display device includes a substrate having an electrode on a surface, and a light control layer formed on the substrate, wherein the light control layer contains microcapsules containing a liquid crystal material in a transparent film, and adjacent microcapsules adhere closely to each other, or the microcapsules have a polygonal structure. With this arrangement, it is possible to provide a liquid crystal display device which has a high light transmittance in a bright portion, can effectively use incident light, and can perform a high-contrast display.
