Patent ID: 8031296

Claim:
A liquid crystal panel of a normally black mode, comprising: a liquid crystal cell; a first polarizing plate placed on a viewer side of the liquid crystal cell; and a second polarizing plate placed on an opposite side of the liquid crystal cell with respect to the viewer side, wherein a light transmittance (T 2 ) of the second polarizing plate is larger than a light transmittance (T 1 ) of the first polarizing plate, the light transmittance (T 1 ) of the first polarizing plate is 38.3% to 42.9%, the light transmittance (T 2 ) of the second polarizing plate is 41.1% to 44.3%, a difference (ΔT=T 2 −T 1 ) between the light transmittance (T 2 ) of the second polarizing plate and the light transmittance (T 1 ) of the first polarizing plate is 0.1% to 3.0%, the liquid crystal cell includes a liquid crystal layer containing liquid crystal molecules arranged in a homogeneous alignment in the absence of an electric field, and degrees of polarization of the first polarizing plate and the second polarizing plate are 99.8% or more.
