LIQUID CRYSTAL PANEL AND LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY

摘要

A liquid crystal panel and a liquid crystal display the color shift of which is significantly improved. The liquid crystal panel comprises a backlight unit emitting polarized light, an optical compensation layer, a first polarizer, a liquid crystal cell, and a second polarizer arranged in this order from the backlight side. Preferably, the Nz coefficient of the optical compensation layer is in the range 1<Nz<3. Preferably, the optical compensation layer is an oriented polymer film the main component of which is cellulose ester or polycarbonate. Preferably, the backlight unit emitting polarized light includes a light source section emitting natural light and a linearly polarized light separating film.
