Patent ID: 7880842

Claim:
A liquid-crystal display device comprising: a liquid-crystal cell with plural domains and a transparent film comprising at least two domains that differ in in-plane retardation (Re) and/or thickness-direction retardation (Rth) for a visible light wavelength λ nm, wherein the domains of the transparent film differ from the domains of the liquid-crystal cell in terms of their arrangement and/or size; wherein Re and Rth of the domains of the transparent film at a visible light wavelength λ nm are within a range of the mean value ±20% of Re and Rth, respectively, of the transparent film at the same wavelength; and wherein the transparent film comprises plural domains having Re at a visible light wavelength λ nm of from 40 to 50 nm, and plural domains having Re at the same wavelength of from 50 to 60 nm; or the transparent film comprises plural domains having Rth at a visible light wavelength λ nm of from 180 to 200 nm, and plural domains having Rth at the same wavelength of from 200 to 220 nm.
