Abstract:
1. A liquid crystal device comprising: a liquid crystal panel including a first substrate, a second substrate which has first and second electrodes, and a liquid crystal disposed between the first and second substrates, an electric field generated between the first and second electrodes driving the liquid crystal; a first polarizer; a second polarizer, the liquid crystal panel being disposed between the first and the second polarizers; and a retardation film disposed between the liquid crystal panel and one of the first and the second polarizers; a sub-pixel region formed in a matrix; wherein the retardation film has a slow axis which is parallel to the transmission axis of the one of the first and second polarizers, and the liquid crystal initially aligns in a direction parallel to the slow axis of the retardation film, wherein a point (Nz, Δnd) falls within a range surrounded by points of A and wherein one of the first and second electrodes forms a pixel electrode, and the other forms a common electrode, the pixel electrode being connected to a TFT element and the common electrode covering the sub-pixel region in plan view.
