Patent ID: 7782425

Claim:
A liquid crystal display comprising: a first insulating substrate; a plurality of gate lines formed on the first insulating substrate; a plurality of data lines insulated from the gate lines and intersecting the gate lines to define a plurality of pixel areas; a plurality of pixel electrodes provided on the pixel areas; a plurality of thin film transistors connected to the gate lines, the data lines and the pixel electrodes; a second insulating substrate facing the first insulating substrate; a common electrode formed on the second insulating substrate; a liquid crystal layer interposed between the first insulating substrate and the second insulating substrate and aligned in an OCB mode; first and second compensation films provided on outer surfaces of the first and the second insulating substrate; and first and second polarization films provided on outer surfaces of the first and the second compensation films, wherein Rr≦17 nm, Rg≦15 nm and Rb≦12 nm where Rr, Rg and Rb are retardations of the liquid crystal layer in a black state for red, green and blue lights, respectively.
