<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a liquid crystal display element having a wide viewing angle with improved viewing angle dependency, and a liquid crystal display apparatus and a broadcasting receiving apparatus using the liquid crystal display element. <P>SOLUTION: The liquid crystal display element includes a liquid crystal cell including a twist-aligned liquid crystal layer sandwiched between a pair of substrates, first and second polarizing plates arranged to sandwich the liquid crystal cell therebetween so that their absorption axes set to intersect aligning treatment directions of the pair of substrates, and viewing angle compensating plates respectively arranged between the polarizing layers and the liquid crystal cell. A total value of retardations in a thickness direction, each defined as a value of a product of a phase difference within a plane perpendicular to substrate surfaces of the liquid crystal cell and a layer thickness, of a plurality of optical layers present between the polarizing layers of the first and second polarizing plates is set to a value that substantially cancels out a retardation in a liquid crystal layer thickness direction of the liquid crystal layer when a saturation voltage is applied to the liquid crystal layer. The liquid crystal display apparatus and the broadcasting receiving apparatus are formed by using the liquid crystal display element. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT |
