Abstract

There is provided a liquid crystal display device including a first substrate in which a first electrode and a second electrode are provided, the second electrode having a plurality of line-shaped portions that generate an electric field between the first electrode, a second substrate opposing the first substrate, a liquid crystal layer sandwiched between the first substrate and the second substrate, the liquid crystal layer being partitioned into a plurality of display pixels each of which is driven by the electric field, a polarization film arranged outside the second substrate, and an optical member film arranged outside the polarization film. The optical member film has a front phase difference whose retardation value is in the range of 120 to 160 nm, and an angle of an optical axis of the optical member film with respect to an extending direction of the plurality of line-shaped portions of the second electrode is in the range of 30 to 40 degrees or 50 to 60 degrees.

Claims (21)

1. A liquid crystal display device comprising:

a first substrate in which a first electrode and a second electrode are provided, the second electrode having a plurality of line-shaped portions that generate an electric field between the first electrode;

a second substrate opposing the first substrate;

a liquid crystal layer sandwiched between the first substrate and the second substrate, the liquid crystal layer being partitioned into a plurality of display pixels each of which is driven by the electric field;

a polarization film arranged outside the second substrate; and

an optical member film arranged outside the polarization film, wherein

the optical member film has a front phase difference whose retardation value is in the range of 120 to 160 nm, and

an angle of an optical axis of the optical member film with respect to an extending direction of the plurality of line-shaped portions of the second electrode is in the range of 30 to 40 degrees or 50 to 60 degrees.

2. A liquid crystal display device comprising:

a first substrate in which a first electrode and a second electrode are provided, the second electrode having a plurality of line-shaped portions that generate an electric field between the first electrode;

a second substrate opposing the first substrate;

a liquid crystal layer sandwiched between the first substrate and the second substrate, the liquid crystal layer being partitioned into a plurality of display pixels each of which is driven by the electric field; and

a polarizing body arranged outside the second substrate; wherein

the polarizing body includes a polarizer and an optical member film arranged outside the polarizing body,

the optical member film has a front phase difference whose retardation value is in the range of 120 to 160 nm, and
