Abstract

A liquid crystal display device includes a liquid crystal display panel, a compensation film for compensating a viewing angle decline caused by improper alignment of liquid crystal molecules in the liquid crystal display panel, and an isotropic layer between the compensation film and the liquid crystal display panel.

Claims (21)

1. A liquid crystal display device, comprising:

a liquid crystal display panel; and

upper and lower polarizing plates at front and rear surfaces of the liquid crystal display panel, respectively,

wherein the upper polarizing plate includes,

a first polarizer at an upper side of the liquid crystal display panel;

first upper and lower protective layers at upper and lower surfaces of the first polarizer;

a first compensation film at a lower side of the first lower protective layer;

a first isotropic layer between the first compensation film and the liquid crystal display panel; and

a first adhesive layer between the first isotropic layer and the liquid crystal display panel for bonding the first isotropic layer to the liquid crystal display panel, and

wherein the lower polarizing plate includes,

a second polarizer at a lower side of the liquid crystal display panel;

second upper and lower protective layers at upper and lower surfaces of the second polarizer;

a second compensation film at an upper side of the second lower protective layer

a second isotropic layer between the second compensation film and the liquid crystal display panel; and

a second adhesive layer between the second isotropic layer and the liquid crystal display panel for bonding the second isotropic layer to the liquid crystal display panel,

wherein the first and second isotropic layers include cyclo orefin polymer for absorbing a shear stress by an adhesion force of the first and second adhesive layers and a contractile force of the first and second polarizers.

2. The liquid crystal module as claimed in claim 1 , wherein each of the first and second compensation films contracts along with contraction of each of the first and second polarizing plates.

3. The liquid crystal display device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein each of the first and second isotropic layers absorbs a shear stress generated by a contraction of the first and second polarizers.

4. The liquid crystal display device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the isotropic layer prevents a change in optical axial direction of liquid crystal molecules within the compensation film.

5. The liquid crystal display device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein each compensation film includes a liquid crystal molecules arranged symmetrically to misaligned liquid crystal molecules within the liquid crystal display panel.

6. The liquid crystal display device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein each compensation film compensates for a decline of viewing angle by improperly aligned liquid crystal molecules within the liquid crystal display panel.
