Patent ID: 7639329

Claim:
A liquid crystal panel, comprising, in the stated order from a viewer side: a first polarizer; a first optical compensation layer; a liquid crystal cell; a second optical compensation layer; and a second polarizer, wherein: the first optical compensation layer has an absolute value of a photoelastic coefficient of 40×10 −12 (m 2 /N) or less, has an in-plane retardation Δnd of 90 nm to 200 nm, has relationships of the following Expressions (1) and (2), and functions as a protective layer on a liquid crystal cell side of the first polarizer; and the second optical compensation layer has relationships of the following Expressions (3) and (4), Δnd(380)=Δnd(550)=Δnd(780) (1) nx>ny≧nz (2) Rth(380)>Rth(550)>Rth(780) (3) nx=ny>nz (4).
