An LCD(Liquid Crystal Display) is provided to compensate phase retardation of an LC cell by disposing a biaxial compensation film between an LC panel and a polarizing plate, thereby improving a contrast ratio of the LCD, and improving wide view characteristics and optical characteristics. An LC panel comprises a first substrate, a second substrate facing the first substrate, and an LC layer(130). The LC layer is interposed between the first and second substrates and horizontally aligned. When a vertical electric field is applied, the LC layer is vertically arranged. A first polarizing plate(210) is disposed in a lower side of the LC panel, and polarizes light in a first direction. A second polarizing plate(220) is disposed in an upper side of the LC panel, and polarizes light in a second direction. Biaxial compensation films(310,320) are disposed between the LC panel and one of the first and second substrates. In the biaxial compensation film, a first optical axis and a second optical axis vertical to the first optical axis are formed to compensate phase retardation of the LC layer when the vertical electric field is applied to the LC panel. |
