Patent ID: 8064009

Claim:
A liquid crystal display apparatus comprising: a liquid crystal cell comprising a pair of substrates which are provided in mutually opposed manner and which has an electrode in at least either thereof, and a liquid crystal material supported between the pair of substrates; a first polarizing film disposed outside the liquid crystal cell; a second polarizing film disposed sandwiching the liquid crystal cell with the first polarizing film; at least one in-cell optical compensation film disposed between the pair of substrates, with plural domains per a pixel having a different mean alignment direction from each other, the in-cell optical compensation film being a layer formed of a composition comprising at least one discotic compound; and at least an external optical compensation film disposed between the first or second polarizing film and the liquid crystal cell, wherein all the at least one in-cell optical compensation film and the at least one external optical compensation film have a total Re within a range of 20 to 70 nm and a total Rth within a range of 70 to 200 nm.
