An in-plane-switching-mode (IPS) LCD device includes a TFT substrate and a CF substrate sandwiching therebetween an LC layer, and a pair of polarizing films sandwiching therebetween the substrates and the LC layer. Each polarizing film has a polarization layer and a protective layer An optical compensation layer having a birefringence is disposed between the light-emitting-side polarizing film and the CF substrate. The optical compensation layer has an in-plane retardation of N1 satisfying the following relationship: <?in-line-formulae description="In-line Formulae" end="lead"?>83.050-0.810xD1<=N1<=-228.090-0.74D1 <?in-line-formulae description="In-line Formulae" end="tail"?> in the range of 0<D1<=80 mum, wherein D1 is the thickness of the protective layer of the light-incident-side polarizing film. |
