Circular polarization plate and liquid crystal display device

摘要

A circular polarizer having excellent circular polarization characteristics and a liquid crystal display device equipped with the circular polarizer. The circular polarizer is comprised of at least a polarizer and an optical anisotropic element having a phase difference of approximately ¼ wavelength in the visible light region and characterized in that the optical anisotropic element is comprised of at least a liquid crystal film with a fixed nematic hybrid orientation structure.
