LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY DEVICE AND POLARIZING PLATE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a liquid crystal display device and polarizing plates that can ensure good visibility while suppressing rainbow-like color irregularity at any observation angle.SOLUTION: There is provided a liquid crystal display device that has a backlight light source and a liquid crystal cell arranged between two polarizing plates, where the backlight light source is a white light source having a continuous emission spectrum; at least one polarizing plate of the polarizing plates has an alignment polyester film having a retardation of 1500 nm or more and less than 3000 nm laminated on at least one face of a polarizer; an absorption axis of the polarizer is substantially parallel to a slow axis of the alignment polyester film.SELECTED DRAWING: None
