Abstract:
1. A liquid crystal display device composed of a liquid crystal cell containing a liquid crystal held between a pair of substrates in a state to orient a major axis of a liquid crystal molecule in a direction nearly perpendicular to the face of the substrate in the absence of applied voltage, a 1st and a 2nd polarizing films placed at both sides of the liquid crystal cell and having polarizing axes directing perpendicular to each other and at least two retardation films (A,C) placed between the liquid crystal cell and the polarizing films wherein the retardation film A satisfies the following formula (1) and/or (2) (in the formulas (1) and (2), R(λ (in the formulas, n wherein the retardation film A satisfies the following formula (7) and the retardation film C satisfies the following formula (8) (in the formulas, the definitions of R and K are same as those described above).
