A polarizing plate includes a polarizer having absorption and transmission axes, a protective film on an upper surface of the polarizer, a half-wavelength (&#x3bb;/2) retardation film on a lower surface of the polarizer, an adhesive layer on a lower surface of the half-wavelength (&#x3bb;/2) retardation film, and a quarter-wavelength (&#x3bb;/4) retardation film on a lower surface of the adhesive layer. An absolute orthogonal b-coordinate value based on a CIELAB color coordinate system of the polarizing plate may be approximately 3 or less when the polarizing plate is stacked with a reference polarizing plate having a degree of polarization of at least 99.9% such that an angle between the absorption axis of the polarizer and an absorption axis of a polarizer of the reference polarizing plate or an angle between the transmission axis of the polarizer and a transmission axis of the polarizer of the reference polarizing plate is 90&#xb0;.
