VERTICALLY ALIGNED LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY HAVING NEGATIVE COMPENSATION FILM

摘要

The present invention relates to a vertically aligned LCD (VA-LCD) comprising a negative compensation film including one or more of a first retardation film (+A-plate) satisfying the condition of n_x>n_y=n_z and a first retardation film (-A-plate) satisfying the condition of n_xy=n_z, and one or more of a second retardation film (-C-plate) satisfying the condition of n_x=n_y>n_z, wherein the first retardation film is arranged such that its optical axis is perpendicular to an optical absorption axis of a neighboring polarizing plate, and a total thickness retardation (R_-C+R_VA) including the thickness retardation of the second retardation film and the thickness retardation of a VA-panel has a negative value. The VA-LCD in accordance with the present invention improves contrast characteristics on a front surface and at a tilt angle and minimizes coloring in a black state according to the tilt angle.
