A liquid crystal display device includes: a liquid crystal cell including homeotropic alignment films which are provided on substrates interposing an N-type nematic liquid crystal layer on the liquid crystal layer side; a pair of polarizing plates provided so as to interpose the liquid crystal cell; and a phase difference compensation element provided between at least one of the pair of polarizing plates and the liquid crystal cell, wherein one principal axis of three principal axes of an index ellipsoid of the phase difference compensation element is inclined from a normal to a surface of the liquid crystal cell, and a refractive index along the one principal axis is smaller than a refractive index along another principal axis.
