1. An optical modulating display device including a multilayer structure containing an optical modulating layer and a pair of first and second substrates sandwiching the multilayer structure:

  • wherein at least the first substrate is constituted so that light propagates therein;

    the multilayer structure is constituted so that a boundary surface between the first substrate and a low refraction layer causes total reflection of light entering into the boundary surface in an oblique direction by including the low refraction layer being lower in refractive index than the first substrate and being in direct contact with the first substrate; and

    the optical modulating layer comprises a liquid crystal layer and the multilayer structure further includes a polarizing layer transmitting a specific polarized light between the low refraction layer and the liquid crystal layer.
