Abstract
In an OCB mode liquid crystal display device, a first phase layer that causes a retardation in an in-plane azimuth direction is disposed between a first polarizing layer and a liquid crystal layer such that a slow axis of the first phase layer intersects at right angles with an absorption axis of the first polarizing layer, a second phase layer that causes a retardation in an in-plane azimuth direction is disposed between a second polarizing layer and the first phase layer such that a slow axis of the second phase layer intersects at right angles with an in-plane azimuth direction in which liquid crystal molecules are inclined, and a third phase layer, which has an optical axis in a normal direction of the liquid crystal display device and has, as a whole, a negative uniaxial function, is disposed between the second polarizing layer and the first phase layer.
