Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
113 words
A liquid crystal display comprising a liquid crystal cell and a polarizing sheet having inserted therebetween (A) at least one film having light transmission properties, said film (A) having at least one optic axis at an angle of not more than 45° with the normal thereof or satisfying the relationship: η TH - (η MD + η TD )/2 > 0 wherein η TH is a refractive index in the normal direction; η MD is a refractive index in the machine direction; and η TD is a refractive index in the transverse direction, and (B) at least one uniaxially stretched film of a polymer having a positive intrinsic birefringence and light transmission properties.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
113 words
A liquid crystal display comprising a liquid crystal cell and a polarizing sheet having inserted therebetween (A) at least one film having light transmission properties, said film (A) having at least one optic axis at an angle of not more than 45° with the normal thereof or satisfying the relationship: η TH - (η MD + η TD )/2 > 0 wherein η TH is a refractive index in the normal direction; η MD is a refractive index in the machine direction; and η TD is a refractive index in the transverse direction, and (B) at least one uniaxially stretched film of a polymer having a positive intrinsic birefringence and light transmission properties.
