Patent ID: 7321411

Claim:
A liquid crystal display comprising: a first panel; a second panel facing the first panel; a liquid crystal layer interposed between the first panel and the second panel; a biaxial compensation film disposed on an outer surface of the first panel; a first polarizing film disposed on an outer surface of the biaxial compensation film; a C-plate uniaxial compensator disposed on an outer surface of the second panel and having a horizontal retardation lower than about 10 nm and a second polarizing film disposed on an outer surface of the C-plate uniaxial compensator, wherein the C-plate uniaxial compensator has a vertical retardation (R th(c-plate) ) and the biaxial compensation film has a horizontal retardation R 0(biaxial) and a vertical retardation R th(biaxial) satisfying: R 0(biaxial) =[0.0028×( R th(e-plate) 2 −0.00833 ×R th(c-plate) +50]±‥nm; and R th(biaxial) =[−0.0007×( R th(c-plate) ) 2 −0.9583 ×R th(c-plate) +165]±20 nm.
