PURPOSE:To improve a narrow visual angle in a liquid crystal display element and low visibility due to limited contrast ratios different in directions. CONSTITUTION:In the liquid crystal display element consisting of a liquid crystal cell 13 for driving holding a liquid crystal layer 13e between two substrates 13a, 13b provided with electrodes, respectively, an optical anisotropic element 12 arranged on an optical path (z) which transmits the liquid crystal cell, and two polarizing plates 11, 14 holding the liquid crystal cell and the optical anisotropic element there between, the liquid crystal cell 13 for driving is the liquid crystal display element comprised by providing with two or more kinds of orientation areas 13A, 13B in the cell, and parts 12L, 12R where the optical anisotropic element is provided with two or more kinds of optical characteristics in an element plane conforming to such orientation. The optical anisotropic element is comprised of liquid crystal or high polymer liquid crystal. |
