Provided is a photoluminescence liquid crystal display (LCD) using a light source emitting polarized light. The photoluminescence LCD may include a light source emitting polarized light, a light control unit including a liquid crystal layer having a plurality of pixel regions and modulating a polarization direction of the polarized light individually with respect to each of the pixel regions, a polarizer transmitting the modulated light only when the polarized light has a polarization direction, and a photoluminescence layer excited by the light transmitted through the polarizer and emitting excitation light by photoluminescence. Accordingly, an additional polarizer may not be on a rear surface of the light control unit, so that photoluminescence LCD may have a simpler structure and increased light use efficiency.
