Patent ID: 7852436

Claim:
A liquid crystal panel comprising a first polarizer and a second polarizer disposed on both sides of a liquid crystal cell, and a first optical compensation layer disposed between the liquid crystal cell and the first polarizer, a second optical compensation layer disposed between the liquid crystal cell and the second polarizer, and a third optical compensation layer disposed between the first optical compensation layer and the second optical compensation layer, wherein wavelength dispersion of the liquid crystal cell satisfies Re 40 (450)>Re 40 (550)>Re 40 (650), wavelength dispersion of the first optical compensation layer and wavelength dispersion of the second optical compensation layer satisfy 0.7<Re 40 (450)/Re 40 (550)<1.05, and wavelength dispersion of the third optical compensation layer satisfies Re 40 (450)>Re 40 (550)>Re 40 (650), provided that Re 40 (λ) represents retardation value measured from the direction of polar angle of 40° at 23° C. with light of wavelength λ nm, Re 40 (λ)=(nx−ny)×d 40 , the nx represents refractive index in the direction in which refractive index is maximum in a plane of optical compensation layer or liquid crystal cell (X axial direction), the ny represents refractive index in the direction orthogonal to the X axial direction in the plane, and d 40 represents light path length (nm) from the direction of polar angle of 40°.
