Abstract

Abstract A liquid crystal cell (5) includes first and second substrates (1a, 1b) arranged to oppose each other, first and second electrodes (7a and 7b) formed on oppos­ing surfaces of the first and second substrates (1a and 1b), respectively, and a liquid crystal composition (9) filled between the first and second substrates (1a, 1b) and arranged in a twisted mode. First and second polarizers (3, 4) are arranged on both sides of the liq­uid crystal cell (5). A first optical retardation film (10) is arranged between the first substrate (1a) and the first polarizer (3), and a second optical retarda­tion film (11) is arranged between said second substrate (1b) and said second polarizer (4). The liquid crystal cell (5) has a retardation value R0 of 0.4 to 0.85 µm, defined by an equation: Δn·d·cos²ϑ where d is a distance between the first and second substrates, Δn is an optical anisotropy of the liquid crystal composition and ϑ is a tilt angle of the liquid crystal composition.
