Abstract:
1. A liquid crystal display, comprising: a liquid crystal cell; a light source; a first polarizing plate placed between the liquid crystal cell and the light source; and a second polarizing plate placed on a viewer side of the liquid crystal cell, wherein the first polarizing plate comprises a polarizer and a first protective film placed on a light source side principal surface thereof, wherein, among protective films included in first polarizing plate and the second polarizing plate, only the first protective film satisfies following relations: (i) 0 nm≦Re (ii) Nz (iii) Rth wherein Re wherein light emitted from the light source is incident on the first polarizing plate in the form of substantially natural light with an Im/Ix ratio of 0.90 or more, wherein Ix and Im represents maximum and minimum, respectively, of light intensity measured by rotating analyzer method, in which analyzer is rotated by 360°.
