Patent ID: 8368849

Claim:
An in-plane switching liquid crystal display (IPS-LCD) comprising; a first polarizing plate, a second polarizing plate, a horizontally oriented IPS panel disposed between the first and the second polarizing plates and filled with a liquid crystal having positive dielectric constant anisotropy (Δ∈>0), in which an absorption axis of the first polarizing plate and an absorption axis of the second polarizing plate are orthogonal to each other, and an optical axis of the liquid crystal in the IPS panel and the absorption axis of the first polarizing plate are parallel with each other, wherein the second polarizing plate is an integrated polarizer comprising: a polarizing film; a protective film attached to one surface of the polarizing film; and a +A plate coated with a +C plate in the form of liquid crystals, the +C plate being attached to the other surface of the polarizing film to which the protective film is attached, wherein the +A plate coated with the +C plate in the integrated polarizer is disposed on the side of the IPS panel, and wherein a retardation film is not included between the first polarizing plate and the IPS panel.
