Abstract:
1. A liquid crystal display device, comprising: an upper substrate and a lower substrate facing and spaced apart from each other; an upper orientation film on an inner surface of the upper substrate; a lower orientation film on an inner surface of the lower substrate; a liquid crystal layer interposed between the upper and lower orientation films; an upper polarizing plate on an outer surface of the upper substrate; a lower polarizing plate on an outer surface of the lower substrate; and at least one compensation film disposed between the upper substrate and the upper polarizing plate; wherein the compensation film is multi-layers of a first A-plate, an O-plate and a second A-plate, and wherein the liquid crystal layer initially has an alignment state parallel to the upper and lower substrates adjacent to the upper and lower substrates; perpendicular to the upper and lower substrates at a midpoint between the upper and lower substrates; and tilted to the upper and lower substrates between the upper substrate and the midpoint and between the lower substrate and the midpoint.
