Patent ID: 7605884

Claim:
A liquid crystal display device, comprising: upper and lower panels facing each other; a first field generating electrode formed on the lower panel; a second field generating electrode formed on the lower panel to generate an electric field with the first field generating electrode; a liquid crystal layer interposed between the upper and the lower panels; a first polarizer assemblies disposed on outer surface of the upper panel; and a second polarizer assemblies disposed on outer surface of the lower panel, wherein liquid crystal molecules of the liquid crystal layer are horizontally aligned when there are no electric fields, wherein the liquid crystal device controls liquid crystal molecules of liquid crystal layer using a horizontal component of the electric field, wherein at least one of the first and second polarizer assemblies comprise a polarization film, first and second supporting films disposed on both surfaces of the polarization film respectively, and wherein at least one of the first and second supporting films have Rth of 0 to 50 nm and Ro of 0 nm to 5nm.
