OPTICAL COMPENSATION FILM AND POLARIZING PLATE AND LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY DEVICE WHICH USES THE SAME

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an optical compensation film which can easily improve the visual field angle characteristics of a TN type LCD such as a TN-TFT and to provide a polarizing plate and a liquid crystal display device in which the visual field angles are significantly improved by a simple structure by using the above optical compensation film. SOLUTION: The optical compensation film has an optical anisotropic layer formed by applying a layer containing a liquid crystalline compound on an optically biaxial cellulose ester film supporting body and fixing the alignment of the liquid crystalline compound.
