In a liquid crystal display device using uniaxially drawn polymer film as a phase difference plate, as the elevation angle becomes wider, the difference between the retardation of the phase difference plate and the retardation of the liquid crystal display panel becomes larger, and the optical compensation relation is broken, and the viewing angle becomes narrower. To solve this problem, uniaxially drawn polymer films are prepared separately from polycarbonate and polystyrene which differ in the optical properties, and they are disposed as the optical compensation plate at the front side and back side of a liquid crystal cell, or they are laminated and disposed at the front side and back side of a liquid crystal cell.

摘要:
An object of the invention is to obtain brighter display in a liquid crystal display apparatus. Light of all the wavelengths in the visible range is converted into circularly polarized light by a first polarization condition converting member, converted into linearly polarized light by a second polarization condition converting member and is modulated by a liquid crystal display device. Then, transmission and block of the light is controlled by a polarizer. Specifically, one of the dextrorotatory circularly polarized light and the levorotatory circularly polarized light is reflected by a spectral member included in the first polarization condition converting member, converted into the other circularly polarized light by a reflecting member included in the first polarization condition converting member and supplied again to the spectral member. The other circularly polarized light is transmitted by the spectral member. Thus, by converting light of all the wavelengths in the visible range into circularly polarized light and then converting the circularly polarized light into linearly polarized light, in principle, 100% of the light is incident on a liquid crystal display device, so that brighter display is achieved.
摘要:
It is an object of the invention to provide a liquid crystal display device capable of obtaining a wide viewing angle without coloration caused by a viewing angle. A liquid crystal display cell is disposed between a pair of polarizers, and between the liquid crystal display cell and the pair of polarizers, first optical compensation plates are disposed at the side of the liquid crystal display cell, and second optical compensation plates are disposed at the side of the polarizer. The first optical compensation plates have a refractive index anisotropy in the plane, and the refractive index thereof in the thickness direction is nearly equal to the refractive index of a minimum value in the plane, whereas the second optical compensation plates have no refractive index anisotropy in the plane, the refractive index in the thickness direction is greater than the refractive index in the plane, and a positive phase difference is expressed by inclination from the normal direction. By the optical compensation plates, the coloration of the display in the display plane of the liquid crystal display device and in the viewing angle direction inclined in a direction parallel to the display plane from the normal direction of the display plane can be compensated, so that a wide viewing angle of a high contrast is obtained.
