Patent ID: 6995824

Claim:
A liquid crystal display device comprising: a liquid crystal panel that is configured such that liquid crystal molecules are sealed between two glasses; a first polarizer plate that is disposed on an observer side, relative to the liquid crystal panel; a second polarizer plate that is disposed to be opposed the first polarizer plate, with the liquid crystal panel interposed; and an optical film that is disposed at least between the first polarizer plate and the liquid crystal panel or between the second polarizer plate and the liquid crystal panel, thereby to increase a viewing angle of an image that is displayed by the liquid crystal panel, wherein a twist angle of the liquid crystal molecules sealed in the liquid crystal panel is greater than 90° and not greater than 96°, a retardation Δnd of the liquid crystal panel is between 400 nanometers (nm) and 430 nm, and a retardation Δnd of the optical film is between 110 nm and 120 nm.
