LIQUID CRYSTAL PANEL, LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY DEVICE AND TERMINAL DEVICE
First Claim
1. A liquid crystal panel comprising a backside substrate, a viewer-side substrate, and a liquid crystal layer in between those two substrates, where a pixel area is configured with a reflective display area in which a light from a viewer-side is reflected, and a transmissive display area in which a light from a backside is transmitted, and where a liquid crystal layer at least in a transmissive display area is driven by a horizontal electric field with an applied voltage parallel to a substrate surface, whereinthe liquid crystal layer has a refractive index anisotropy in a display surface thereof,the liquid crystal panel further comprising:
- circular polarizing plates individually disposed outside of the backside substrate and the viewer-side substrate respectively; and
a compensator disposed in at least either one of intervals between the circular polarizing plates and the liquid crystal layer for reducing the refractive index anisotropy of the liquid crystal layer.

Abstract
To provide a liquid crystal panel capable of realizing excellent display performance using a circular polarizing plate therein, and a liquid crystal display device and a terminal device using the same, with respect to a semi-transmission type liquid crystal display device in a horizontal electric field mode (In-Plane Switching: IPS).
A viewer-side circular polarizing plate and a backside circular polarizing plate are disposed outside of a viewer-side substrate and a backside substrate respectively, and a viewer-side compensation plate and a backside compensation plate are disposed between the respective polarizing plates and substrates to reduce a refractive index anisotropy of a liquid crystal layer.
