Patent ID: 7830480

Claim:
A liquid crystal panel comprising: a liquid crystal cell; a first polarizer and a second polarizer provided on both sides of the liquid crystal cell; a first optical compensation layer provided between the liquid crystal cell and the first polarizer; and a second optical compensation layer provided between the liquid crystal cell and the second polarizer, wherein a wavelength dispersion of the liquid crystal cell satisfies Re 40 (450)>Re 40 (550)>Re 40 (650), an index ellipsoid of the first optical compensation layer satisfies a relationship of nx>nz>ny, and a wavelength dispersion of the second optical compensation layer satisfies Re 40 (450)≧Re 40 (550)≧Re 40 (650), wherein Re 40 (λ) represents a retardation value measured from the direction of a polar angle of 40° at 23° C. with light of a wavelength λ nm, nx represents a refractive index in the direction in which the refractive index is maximum in a plane of the optical compensation layers or the liquid crystal cell (X axis direction), ny represents a refractive index in the direction orthogonal to the X axis direction in the plane (Y axis direction), and nz represents a refractive index in the direction orthogonal to the X axis direction and the Y axis direction.
