A twisted nematic liquid crystal display whose display contrast, gradation characteristics, displayed color viewing angle characteristics, and front display contrast characteristics are improved. The display comprises at least one compensation film having retardation in the film plane, a driving twisted nematic liquid crystal cell made up of a pair of transparent substrates having electrodes and a nematic liquid crystal held between the substrates, and two polarizers arranged over and below the liquid cell, wherein the absorption or transmission axis of a polarizer is generally parallel to the direction of alignment of liquid crystal molecules at the liquid crystal cell substrate the closest to the polarizer, and the angle formed by the slow phase axis in the film plane of the compensation film and the absorption or transmission axis of the polarizer is in a range of 0.1 DEG to 10 DEG .
