- the liquid crystal display system 900 is configured with the three transparent substrates shown in FIG. 3 will be described as an example.
- the mixed dye is, for example, a green dye
- the green light 160 when no electric field is formed on the memory liquid crystal layer 36, the green light 160 is absorbed by the green dye mixed in the liquid crystal molecules as shown in FIG. 10A. Although not emitted in the viewing direction, the emitted light 161 other than the green light is not absorbed by the green dye, but is scattered by the green dye mixed in the liquid crystal molecules, so that a display with an enlarged viewing angle can be obtained.
- the green light 160 is emitted without being absorbed by the pigment, and the emitted light 161 other than the green light is also mixed into the liquid crystal molecules.

- an electric field is formed with respect to the memory liquid crystal layer 36 in the case of performing display with a high visual dependence (when displaying with a narrow viewing angle). Since the liquid crystal molecules are aligned substantially parallel to the electric field by the applied electric field, the emitted light is emitted as it is without being scattered by the liquid crystal molecules. Therefore, for example, in the case where the liquid crystal display system 900 according to the present embodiment is used as a digital signage display device, when displaying to a small number of customers, it is advantageous because the luminance and contrast ratio can be increased. .
- the external light applied to the display unit 90 of the light-scattering liquid crystal display panel 200 may have different intensity depending on the region. In such a case, it is difficult to provide a good display. For example, in some areas of the display unit 90, since the intensity of external light is high, bright color display due to external light scattering is emphasized, while in other areas, bright color display due to external light scattering is normal.

- the image correction unit 510 corrects the image signal corresponding to the data signal from the outside based on the detected value of the external light intensity. That is, in a region where the intensity of external light is high, the liquid crystal molecules 38 in the memory liquid crystal layer 36 are changed from a random state to a slightly light-transmitting alignment state.
- the slight alignment in the light transmission state means that the light transmittance when the liquid crystal molecules are in a random state is T 1 %, and the light transmission alignment state is T 2 % (where T 2 > T 1 ), although not particularly limited, for example, the transmittance is [T 1 +0.2 (T 2 ⁇ T 1 )]% to [T 1 +0.4 (T 2 ⁇ T 1 )]. %.
- the liquid crystal molecules 38 are aligned in a slight light transmission state even in a region where the intensity of the external light is high, so that the color is slightly dark and the bright color display can be prevented from being emphasized. Therefore, even if the external light intensity varies depending on the position on the display unit 90, the customer can visually recognize an image in which the original contrast is maintained on the entire screen.
- a plurality of optical sensors 180 are arranged in the display unit 90 to detect the intensity of external light in the display unit 90 for each predetermined region, and in a region where the external light intensity is high, the liquid crystal molecules 38. was changed so as to be oriented from a random state to a slightly light transmissive state, thereby suppressing the emphasis of bright color display and visually recognizing an image maintaining the original contrast.

Thereby, the light of the backlight 300 is scattered by the liquid crystal molecules 38 in a random state to generate scattered light. Therefore, the contrast between the bright display and the dark display can be enhanced by supplementing the bright display.

- the incident light 164 that has entered the vicinity of the pixel electrode 23 without being scattered by the liquid crystal molecules 38 is reflected by the reflecting mirror plate 40 and is scattered by the liquid crystal molecules 38, thereby performing bright color display.
- the incident light 162 is incident on the light-transmitting memory liquid crystal layer 36 and is not reflected, resulting in dark color display (for example, black display B). Thereby, even when the intensity of external light is low, it is possible to enhance the bright color display and maintain the contrast ratio of the image.
