1. A reflection type liquid-crystal display apparatus comprising:

  • a light source; and

    a liquid-crystal display device including a lower substrate provided with a reflection plate, an upper substrate provided with a transparent film on which a light-reflecting element is provided for reflecting transmitted light toward the lower substrate side, and liquid crystal held between said lower substrate and said upper substrate, said light source being disposed at an end surface of said upper substrate, said liquid-crystal display device being configured so that light incident onto a surface of said upper substrate opposite to a contact surface of said upper substrate with said liquid crystal is reflected by said reflection plate of said lower substrate so as to exit from said surface of said upper substrate opposite to said contact surface of said upper substrate with said liquid crystal, wherein at least one of end surfaces except the end surface on which said light source is disposed is coated with a reflection layer.
