Abstract
A liquid crystal display comprises a liquid crystal cell of a bend alignment mode or a hybrid aligned nematic (HAN) mode, one or two optical compensatory sheets and one or two polarizing elements. The liquid crystal cell comprises liquid crystal molecules provided between two electrode substrates. The optical compensatory sheet comprises a transparent substrate and an optically anisotropic layer. The transparent substrate is optically anisotropic. The optically anisotropic layer contains a discotic compound. The liquid crystal cell, the optical compensatory sheet and the transparent substrate have optical characteristics satisfying the following formulas.
