There is provided a liquid crystal panel having excellent balance between contrast and viewing angle characteristics. A liquid crystal panel according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a first polarizer; a first optical compensation layer containing a resin having an absolute value of photoelastic coefficient of 2×10−11 m2/N or less, and having a relationship of nx>ny=nz; a second optical compensation layer having a relationship of nx=ny>nz; a liquid crystal cell; a third optical compensation layer containing a resin having an absolute value of photoelastic coefficient of 2×10−11 m2/N or less, and having a relationship of nx>ny=nz; and a second polarizer, in the stated order forward a viewer side, wherein the sum &Sgr;Rth1-n of the thickness direction retardation of all the optical compensation layers and the thickness direction retardation Rthc of the liquid crystal cell satisfy the following expression (1): −50 nm<(&Sgr;Rth1-n−Rthc)<150 nm  (1).
