The invention provides a liquid-crystal display device of transflective type having a reflection mode and a transmission mode, with excellent visibility, in which the brightness of a display in the transmission mode is enhanced, and an electronic apparatus that includes this liquid-crystal display device. A liquid-crystal display device of transflective type includes liquid crystals held between an upper substrate and a lower substrate that are opposed to each other. A polarizer and a polarization layer are respectively disposed over and under the liquid crystals. An illumination device is arranged on the outer surface side of the lower substrate. A display is presented through the changeover between a transmission mode and a reflection mode. The liquid-crystal display device includes a transflective film and the polarization layer formed on the transflective film which are disposed on the inner surface side of the lower substrate. The invention also includes an electronic apparatus including the liquid-crystal display device.
