Patent ID: 7692737

Claim:
A liquid crystal display device, comprising: a liquid crystal display panel; and upper and lower polarizing plates at front and rear surfaces of the liquid crystal display panel, respectively, wherein the upper polarizing plate includes, a first polarizer at an upper side of the liquid crystal display panel; first upper and lower protective layers at upper and lower surfaces of the first polarizer; a first compensation film at a lower side of the first lower protective layer; a first isotropic layer between the first compensation film and the liquid crystal display panel; and a first adhesive layer between the first isotropic layer and the liquid crystal display panel for bonding the first isotropic layer to the liquid crystal display panel, and wherein the lower polarizing plate includes, a second polarizer at a lower side of the liquid crystal display panel; second upper and lower protective layers at upper and lower surfaces of the second polarizer; a second compensation film at an upper side of the second lower protective layer a second isotropic layer between the second compensation film and the liquid crystal display panel; and a second adhesive layer between the second isotropic layer and the liquid crystal display panel for bonding the second isotropic layer to the liquid crystal display panel, wherein the first and second isotropic layers include cyclo orefin polymer for absorbing a shear stress by an adhesion force of the first and second adhesive layers and a contractile force of the first and second polarizers.
