Claim 0:
1. An image display apparatus comprising in the following order:
an optical film;
a viewing-side polarizing plate;
a liquid crystal cell;
a backlight-side polarizing plate; and
a backlight in this order,
wherein the optical film includes an optically anisotropic layer and a polarizer in this order from a liquid crystal cell side,
an absorption axis of the viewing-side polarizing plate and an absorption axis of the polarizer are parallel or orthogonal to each other,
the optically anisotropic layer is optically uniaxially anisotropic, while in a case where an optic axis of the optically anisotropic layer is projected onto the polarizer as viewed from a viewing-side of the image display apparatus, an azimuthal angle of the optic axis is +50° to +70° or −50° to −70° with respect to a horizontal direction,
an average tilt angle of the optic axis with respect to a main surface of the optically anisotropic layer is 20° to 45°,
an in-plane phase difference Re (550) of the optically anisotropic layer at a wavelength of 550 nm is 70 nm to 240 nm, and
the image display characteristics are asymmetric in right-to-left direction.
