A TN liquid crystal display device (1) includes a polarizing plate (4a), a liquid crystal panel (100), and a polarizing plate (4b) in an order from a viewer side, in which absorption axes (4α and 4β) of the polarizing plates (4a and 4b) are set to be at an angle of approximately 45 degrees to respective rubbing directions (6a and 6b) of a first substrate (2a) and a second substrate (2b), and the absorption axes (4α and 4β) are arranged so as to be perpendicular to each other. Further, for example, a biaxial phase plate (5a) is provided at least between the substrate (2a) and the polarizing plate (4a) so that an in-plane slow axis (5α) is set to be at an angle of approximately 90 degrees to the absorption axis (4α) of the polarizing plate (4a). This configuration makes it possible to realize, at a low cost, a technique to concurrently improve (i) a viewing angle display characteristic and (ii) use efficiency of material members of the TN display liquid crystal display device.
