Abstract:
1. A liquid crystal display comprising a liquid crystal display element having a liquid crystal layer containing liquid crystal molecules oriented so as to assume a bend alignment when an image display is being made, and at least one negative retardation plate for compensating for a retardation of the liquid crystal layer, wherein the display is made by varying the retardation of the liquid crystal layer in accordance with video signals inputted from outside to vary the transmittance of the liquid crystal display element to light for display, characterized in that: the negative retardation plate has a hybrid-aligned primary axis, and the liquid crystal display element includes a plurality of red pixels for displaying a red color, a plurality of green pixels for displaying a green color, and a plurality of blue pixels for displaying a blue color; and a thickness of the liquid crystal layer associated with the blue pixels is larger than a thickness of the liquid crystal layer associated with the red pixels and the green pixels, wherein the thickness of liquid crystal layers associated with red pixels and green pixels are equal.
