Liquid crystal display
First Claim
1. A liquid crystal display comprising:
- a first liquid crystal panel comprisingfirst and second substrates which are disposed opposite each other, and a first liquid crystal layer of a polymer dispersed type or a polymer network type sandwiched between the first and second substrates;
a second liquid crystal panel comprisingthird and fourth substrates which are disposed opposite each other,a second liquid crystal layer sandwiched between the third and fourth substrates,a color filter provided on the third substrate, andfirst and second polarizing plates provided on the third and fourth substrates, respectively;
an air layer sandwiched between the first and second liquid crystal panels and being in contact with the first and second liquid crystal panels;
a seal member surrounding the air layer and being in contact with the first and second liquid crystal panels;
a light source provided to face the second liquid crystal panel and to emit light toward the second liquid crystal panel; and
a controller configured to execute a first display mode and further configured to execute a second display mode, whereinthe first liquid crystal panel directly faces the second liquid panel,in the first display mode, the controller drives the first liquid crystal panel and turns off the second liquid crystal panel and the light source, andin the second display mode, the controller sets the first liquid crystal panel to a transmissive state, drives the second liquid crystal panel, and turns on the light source.

Abstract
A liquid crystal display includes first and second liquid crystal panels, an air layer and a seal member. The first liquid crystal panel comprises first and second substrates which are disposed opposite each other, and a first liquid crystal layer of a polymer dispersed type sandwiched between the first and second substrates. The second liquid crystal panel comprises third and fourth substrates which are disposed opposite each other, a second liquid crystal layer sandwiched between the third and fourth substrates, a color filter provided on the third substrate, and first and second polarizing plates provided on the third and fourth substrates, respectively. The air layer is sandwiched between the first and second liquid crystal panels and in contact with the second and third substrates. The seal member seals the air layer between the second and third substrates.
