Abstract
A color STN-LCD having preferable display quality and decreased manufacturing cost uses a liquid crystal display apparatus which includes a liquid crystal layer having a twist angle in a range from 200.degree. and less than 360.degree., a retardation of the liquid crystal layer in a range of 0.80 .mu.m.about.0.90 .mu.m, an azimuth of transmittance axis of the upper polarizer in a range of 30.degree..about.70.degree., an azimuth of the transmittance axis of the lower polarizer in a range of 60.degree..about.90.degree., an azimuth of the slow axis of the upper phase plate in a range of 150.degree..about.190.degree., an azimuth of the slow axis of the lower phase plate in a range of 30.degree..about.80.degree., a retardation of the upper phase plate at a wave length of 550 nm in a range of 200 nm.about.300 nm, and a retardation of the lower phase plate at a wave length of 550 nm in a range of 500 nm.about.620 nm.
