Abstract

A polarizer is arranged on the incident side of a TN type liquid crystal cell in which the arrangement of liquid crystal molecules is twist-aligned through substantially 90.degree. in a direction from one substrate to the opposite substrate and the value of a product .DELTA.n.sub.c.d.sub.c of a refractive index anisotropy .DELTA.n.sub.c and a gap d.sub.c is set within a range of 300 to 600 nm, and an analyzer is arranged on the exit side of the liquid crystal cell. A twist-aligned retardation plate, in which the arrangement of polymer molecules is twist-aligned through 90.degree. in a direction opposite to the twist direction of the twist orientation of the liquid crystal molecules and the value of .DELTA.n.d ranges between 100 and 600 nm, is arranged between the liquid crystal cell and the analyzer.
