<p>There is provided a polarizer constituted by a polarizing element, and at least one transparent protective film constituted by two layers of retardation films with an in-plane retardation in a range of from 190 to 320 nm with respect to light having a wave length of 550 nm. The transparent protective film is bonded onto one of opposite surfaces of the polarizing element so that a slow axis of each of the retardation films is parallel with an absorption axis of the polarizing element. The two layers of retardation films are constituted by a combination of a retardation film with Nz of from 0.8 to 0.95 and a retardation film with Nz of from 0.55 to 0.7 in the condition of nx > ny and Nz = (nx -nz)/(nx - ny) in which nx and ny are in-plane refractive indices of the retardation films respectively, and nz is a refractive index in a direction of thickness of each of the retardation films. <IMAGE></p> |
