A polarizer having a polarizing element, and at least one transparent protective film constituted by two layers of retardation films with an in-plane retardation of 190 to 320 nm with respect to light having a wavelength of 550 nm is provided. The transparent protective film is bonded onto one of opposite surfaces of the polarizing element so that a slow axis of each of the retardation films is parallel with an absorption axis of the polarizing element. The two layers of retardation films are constituted by a combination of a retardation film with Nz of 0.8 to 0.95 and a retardation film with Nz of 0.55 to 0.7 in the condition of nx>ny and Nz=(nx−nz)/(nx−ny) in which nx and ny are in-plane refractive indices of the retardation films respectively, and nz is a refractive index in a direction of thickness of each of the retardation films.

A liquid-crystal display device has a light pipe, a light source, a reflection layer, a light diffusion layer, and a liquid-crystal shutter. The light pipe is provided with light output means formed on an upper surface thereof. The light source is disposed near to an incident side surface of the light pipe so that light incident on the light pipe from the light source is delivered from a lower surface of the light pipe through the light output means. The reflection layer is disposed on the lower surface of the light pipe so that reflected light of the output light is transmitted through the upper surface. The light diffusion layer has polarization-keeping characteristic. The liquid-crystal shutter is disposed on the upper surface of the light pipe through the light diffusion layer, the liquid-crystal shutter including liquid-crystal cells and at least one polarizing plate.

A linear light pipe includes a light supply surface, and the surface light pipe is connected to the linear light pipe through the connected side surfaces and the light supply surface so that the linear light pipe converts incident light from a point light source into a linear light source and outputs the light of the linear light source through the light supply surface. The surface light pipe converts incident light from the linear light source into a plane light source. In another light pipe unit, a linear light pipe for converting incident light from a point light source into a linear light source, and a surface light pipe for converting incident light from the linear light source into a plane light source are provided. The linear light pipe and the surface light pipe are partially connected to each other. Further, a plane light source unit wherein a point light source is disposed on the linear light pipe of one of the above light pipe units and a liquid-crystal display device provided with the above-mentioned plane light source unit and a liquid crystal cell are provided.

An objective of the present invention is to alleviate streaky display unevenness that occurs in liquid crystal display elements when feeding optical function film from a continuous roll having score lines in the width direction thereof and bonding the optical function film on a liquid crystal panel. A continuous roll comprises an optical film laminate (15) that is in the form of a continuous web wound into a roll and comprises at least an optical function film (10) and a carrier film (13) releasably placed on the optical function film (10). The optical function film (10) is divided into a plurality of cut pieces by score lines (16) formed along a widthwise direction of the optical film laminate (15). It is possible to resolve the problem by making the bending rigidity per unit longitudinal length of the optical function film fall within a specific range.
