Provided is a liquid crystal display panel (100C) having a transverse electric field mode liquid crystal cell (10), a first polarizing plate (22C) disposed on the back surface side of the liquid crystal cell (10), and a second polarizing plate (24C) disposed on the observer side of the liquid crystal cell (10), wherein: letting ∆n be the birefringence of nematic liquid crystals and d be the thickness of the liquid crystal layer for a liquid crystal layer (18), ∆nd is less than 550 nm, the liquid crystal layer is in a twisted orientation state when no voltage is applied, and when polarized light for which the absolute value |S3| of the Stokes parameter S3 is 1.00 is made incident, the |S3| of the polarized light passing through the liquid crystal layer (18) is 0.85 or greater; and the first polarizing plate (22C) and the second polarizing plate (24C) are circular polarizing plates or elliptical polarizing plates in which the ellipticity is 0.422 or greater, and each of the first polarizing plate (22C) and the second polarizing plate (24C) is substantially constituted only of a linear polarizing layer and a phase shift layer. |
