PHASE DIFFERENCE-COMPENSTING ELEMENT, VAN LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY ELEMENT, AND LIQUID CRYSTAL PROJECTOR

摘要

A phase difference-compensating element (56) is comprised of a C-plate (86) and an O plate (85). The O plate (85) is a two-axial birefringent member formed by the oblique evaporation of an inorganic material and its phase advance axis (L6) is in parallel with an evaporation direction (96) orthogonally projected on a surface of the O-plate (85). The O-plate (85) is disposed between a liquid crystal display element (51) and an analyzer (68) and a tilt direction (L8) of a liquid crystal molecule (75) is in parallel with the phase advance axis (L6), and the evaporation direction and the tilt direction are on the opposite side with respect to the Z2-axis. The C-plate (86) is disposed between the liquid crystal display device (51) and the analyzer (68) at an upper part of the O-plate (85).
