Patent ID: 7742127

Claim:
A liquid crystal display device comprising, at least, a pair of polarizing plates, and a liquid crystal cell, disposed between the pair of polarizing plates, comprising a pair of substrates opposed to each other, an electrode disposed on at least one of the pair of substrates, capable of forming an electric field including a component parallel to the pair of substrates, a liquid crystal layer, of which alignment is controlled, disposed between the pair of substrates, a plurality of pixel regions respectively having first, second and third pixels, and a plurality of color filter layers, respectively having first, second and third color filter layers, each corresponding to the first, second and third pixel regions; wherein Rth is different between at least two of the first, second and third color filter layers; wherein the color filter layers satisfy expressions (I) and (II): 0≦Re(630)≦10, and |Rth(630)|≦25; and (I) |Re(400)−Re(700)|≦10, and |Rth(400)−Rth(700)|≦35, (II) where in the expressions (I) and (II), Re(λ) expresses front retardation value at a wavelength of λ nm, and Rth(λ) expresses in-thickness direction retardation value at a wavelength of λ nm.
