摘要:
A sufficiently wide viewing angle characteristic is obtained while a sufficient front contrast is ensured. With respect to the light transmitted by a polarizing plate and a phase difference plate before exiting from a liquid crystal display device, the viewing angle in the 12-6 o'clock direction is improved by a phase difference plate. By a light diffusing plate, a sufficient front contrast is ensured by causing the light to exit in the direction of the normal and the light is diffused in the 9-3 o'clock direction where the viewing angle is not improved by the phase difference plate. In the case where the light diffusing plate has a double refractivity, the liquid crystal display apparatus is arranged so that the light is transmitted by the light diffusing plate after transmitted by a polarizing plate. In the case where the light diffusing plate has no double refractivity, the liquid crystal display apparatus is arranged so that the light is transmitted by the polarizing plate after transmitted by the light diffusing plate.

A normally white liquid crystal display is provided with a positively birefringent uniaxial retardation film having a retardation value of from about 100-200 nm. The retardation film is provided on one side of the liquid crystal layer, the liquid crystal being sandwiched between a pair of orientation or buffing films which orient the liquid crystal molecules adjacent thereto in predetermined directions. The optical axis of the retardation film is rotated from about 2.degree.-20.degree., most preferably from about 6.degree.-10.degree. relative to the buffing direction on the opposite side of the liquid crystal layer. This rotation of the retardation film optical axis allows for the high contrast ratio viewing zone of the display to be shifted vertically into either the positive or negative vertical viewing region depending upon the direction of rotation of the retardation film optical axis. Alternatively, biaxial retardation films having similar retardation values may be utilizied according to the teachings of this invention.

In combination with a field-effect mode liquid crystal display which comprises a pair of polarizers and a field-effect mode liquid crystal display cell containing a liquid crystal composition having positive dielectric anisotropy characteristics, a retardation plate is placed between the liquid crystal display cell and one of the polarizers. The retardation plate creates phase differences of discriminative degrees in dependence on the differences of the wave length of the light passing therethrough. The images appear in one color on the complementary color background.

A liquid crystal panel and a liquid crystal display are disclosed. The liquid crystal display includes a liquid crystal cell having a light incident side and a light emitting side, a first polarizer arranged on the light incident side of the liquid crystal panel, a second polarizer arranged on the light emitting side of the liquid crystal panel, and a half wave plate arranged between the first polarizer and the liquid crystal cell. An absorbing axis of the first polarizer is parallel to the absorbing axis of the second polarizer, and an angle between a slow axis of the half wave plate and the absorbing axis of the first polarizer is 45 or 135 degrees. In this way, the liquid crystal display with the two polarizers parallel to each other can be in all-black state when no voltage is applied. In addition, the contrast is greatly enhanced.
