A liquid crystal display device (1) comprises a liquid crystal display panel (3) and a reflector (5) disposed on the side of the liquid crystal display panel, opposite from the visible side thereof. The liquid crystal display panel (3) comprises liquid crystal (3f) sandwiched between two transparent substrates (3a, 3b), and display electrodes (3c, 3d) made up of a transparent and electrically conductive film provided on the inner faces of the respective substrates (3a 3b). The reflector (5) is provided with protrusions (5a) formed at positions corresponding to the display electrodes (3c, 3d) on a face thereof opposite to the liquid crystal display panel (3). Accordingly, light transmitted through the liquid crystal display panel (3) falls on the protrusions (5a) of the reflector (5), and respective components of light reflected from the surface of the respective protrusion (5a) will reach the eyes of a viewer with differences in arrival time due to the surface condition of the respective protrusions (5a), so that information displayed by characters and so forth is three-dimensionally perceived by the viewer.
