A liquid crystal display device includes a birefringence element provided between a ¼-wave plate and a linear polarizing plate of at least one of a first and second circular polarizing plates. The birefringence element satisfies one of the relationships: nz>nx or nz>ny, wherein nz is a refractive index of the birefringence element in a thickness-wise direction of the birefringence element; and nx and ny are refractive indexes of the birefringence element in azimuth directions in the plane of the birefringence element.
