Abstract

A liquid crystal display includes a light source, a liquid crystal display panel including a pixel having a plurality of a color sub-pixel, and a reflective polarizer disposed between the light source and the liquid crystal display panel to transmit or reflect a light according to a direction in which the light vibrates. The reflective polarizer includes a reflective polarizing layer including a plurality of microfibers which each extend in a same direction with respect to each other, and a protective layer overlapping the reflective polarizing layer. A thickness of the reflective polarizing layer is a function of a pixel size.
