A positive uniaxial film 14 with a retardation of Rp [nm] in an in-plane
direction is disposed between a vertical alignment mode liquid crystal cell 11
and a polarizing plate 12, and a negative uniaxial film 15 with
a retardation of Rn [nm] in a thickness direction is disposed between the positive
uniaxial film 14 and the polarizing plate 12. Further, when a parameter
1 [nm] in relation to Rp is 35+(Rlc/80-4)23.5+(360-Rlc)Rtac/850;
and a parameter 1 [nm] in relation to Rn is Rlc-1.9Rtac, where
Rtac [nm] is a retardation in a thickness direction of the respective base films
of polarizing plates 12 and 13, the retardations Rp and Rn are set
to fall within ranges of 80% to 120% of the parameter 1 and 60% to
90% of the parameter 1, respectively.
