<p>It is an object to provide an IPS mode type liquid crystal display device that is improved in a viewing angle and further that is good in color shift viewed from an oblique 45° direction. The IPS mode type liquid crystal display device is comprised of a first polarizer, a first substrate, a liquid crystal layer, a second substrate, a second polarizer, wherein these elements are disposed in that order, and first and second retardation layers disposed between the first polarizer and the first substrate. The liquid crystal display device is characterized in that the first retardation layer is substantially negative uniaxial, the retardations Ro and Rth of the second retardation layer are 5=Ro=100nm and 100=Rth=200nm, the absorption axis of the first polarizer and the rubbing direction of the liquid crystal layer are orthogonal with each other, the retardation layer out of the first and second retardation layers, which is closer to the first substrate side, is substantially in parallel with the rubbing direction of the liquid crystal layer, and the retardation layer out of the first and second retardation layers, which is closer to the first polarizer side, is substantially in parallel with the absorption axis of the first polarizer.</p> |
