PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain satisfactory viewing angle characteristics from an oblique visual field in an in-plane switching liquid crystal display device which has two liquid crystal initial alignment directions orthogonal to each other.SOLUTION: In both a region I and a region II, an absorption axis 26 of an incidence-side polarizer 22 and an absorption axis 27 of an emission-side polarizer 23 are orthogonal to each other, and a liquid crystal layer 12a and an optical compensation layer comprising an in-cell retarder 10, an A plate 24, and a C plate 25, which are interposed between the polarizers, are parallel with either of the absorption axes 26 and 27 or are orthogonal to substrates 20 and 21. Therefore, transmittance is reduced to obtain satisfactory black display even when a display surface is viewed from an oblique visual field. |
