PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To develop an optical compensation polarizing plate, with which a transmission type liquid crystal display device can be formed, where the device shows little decrease in the contrast in the front direction or little decrease in the whole luminance or image sharpness, and does not cause changes in the tone or reversal gradation, and has a wide viewing angle, superior contrast and excellent display quality as a whole. SOLUTION: The optical compensation polarizing plate (1) consists of a laminated body having at least a polarizing plate (11), one or more birefringent layers (12, 13) and scattering anisotropic film (14) with different scattering angles depending on the azimuth. The liquid crystal display device has the above optical compensation polarizing plate on one or both sides of a transmission type liquid crystal call (2). Thereby, fading in the black display at an oblique viewing angle is suppressed to improve the contrast, and the viewing angle free from the gradation reversal can be increased in the direction where insufficient compensation such as downward direction is easily caused, and coloring of the display due to the birefrigent layers can be decreased. |
