Patent ID: 8208100

Claim:
A liquid crystal display device comprising a polarizing plate on an outermost side of the display device, wherein the polarizing plate comprises: a polarizing film; and a light-scattering film as a protective film on one side of the polarizing film, and wherein the light-scattering film comprises: a support; and a layer comprising a light-scattering particle and a light-transparent resin, wherein the particle diameter of the light-scattering particle is from 0.5 to 6.0 μm, and wherein the light-scattering film satisfies following formulae (1) to (3), (7) and (8) at the same time: n B435 <n P435 Mathematical Formula (1) n B545 <n P545 Mathematical Formula (2) 0.9<( n P435 /n B435 )/( n P545 /n B545 )<1.005 Mathematical Formula (3) 0.02 ≦n P435 −n B435 ≦0.20 Mathematical Formula (7) 0.02 ≦n P545 −n B545 ≦0.20 Mathematical Formula (8) wherein n P435 and n P545 represent refractive indexes of the light-scattering particle at wavelengths of 435 nm and 545 nm, respectively, and n B435 and n B545 represent refractive indexes of the light-transparent resin at wavelengths of 435 nm and 545 nm, respectively.
