Liquid crystal display device
View Patent ↗To achieve a liquid crystal display device of a field sequential system with sufficient response speed and uniformity of viewing angle, the liquid crystal display device includes polarizing plates attached on front and back surfaces of a liquid crystal display panel, a backlight provided on the back surface of the liquid crystal display panel, and an anisotropic diffusion film provided on the front side of the liquid crystal display panel. The liquid crystal display panel and the backlight are driven by the field sequential system. The distribution of the contrast of the liquid crystal display panel varies depending on the azimuth direction. Then, the azimuth direction in which the contrast of the liquid crystal display panel is small is equal to the azimuth direction in which the emission intensity when parallel light is incident on the anisotropic diffusion film is strong, to achieve uniform contrast in all azimuth directions.

A liquid crystal display device comprising a backlight provided on a back side of a liquid crystal display panel which is formed in such a way that a liquid crystal layer is interposed between a first substrate and a second substrate, a first polarizing plate is attached to the outside of the first substrate, and a second polarizing plate is attached to the outside of the second substrate,
wherein the liquid crystal display panel and the backlight are driven by a field sequential system,
wherein an anisotropic diffusion film is attached onto the first polarizing plate which is located on the display surface side of the liquid crystal display panel,
wherein the distribution of the contrast of the liquid crystal display panel varies depending on the azimuth direction,
wherein the emission intensity when parallel light is incident on the anisotropic diffusion film varies depending on the azimuth direction, and
wherein the azimuth direction in which the contrast of the liquid crystal display panel is small is equal to the azimuth direction in which the emission intensify when the parallel light is incident on the anisotropic diffusion film is strong.
2. The liquid crystal display panel according to claim 1 , wherein the liquid crystal display panel is a TN-type liquid crystal display panel.
3. The liquid crystal display panel according to claim 2 , wherein the azimuth direction in which the emission intensity of the anisotropic diffusion film is strong varies in the positive azimuth direction and in the negative azimuth direction.
