Abstract

Abstract A liquid crystal display panel incorporating an optical phase shifting substrate which comprises a liquid crystal cell, a pair of polarizing sheets disposed on opposing sides thereof, and a couple of substrates each having a transparent electrode layer, one of the substrates being either an optical phase shifting single oriented synthetic resin film or a laminate film comprising an optically isotropic amorphous film laminated to at least one side of the above optical phase shifting film and the other substrate being either a single-layer or multi-layer optically isotropic amorphous film or a glass sheet.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim 142 words
A liquid crystal display panel incorporating an optical phase shifting substrate comprising: a liquid crystal cell formed of a first and second substrate having a super-twisted nematic liquid crystal sealed therebetween, each of said substrates supporting a transparent electrode; said first substrate being an optical phase shifting substrate having a retardation value of not less than 60 nm comprising either an oriented synthetic resin optical phase shifting film A or a laminate film consisting of said oriented synthetic resin film A and an optically isotropic amorphous film B disposed on at least one side thereof; said second substrate being an optically isotropic substrate comprising a single-layer or multiple-layer optically isotropic amorphous film having a retardation value of not more than 50 nm, or a glass sheet; and a pair of polarizing sheets disposed, respectively, on each side of said liquid crystal cell.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 142 words
A liquid crystal display panel incorporating an optical phase shifting substrate comprising: a liquid crystal cell formed of a first and second substrate having a super-twisted nematic liquid crystal sealed therebetween, each of said substrates supporting a transparent electrode; said first substrate being an optical phase shifting substrate having a retardation value of not less than 60 nm comprising either an oriented synthetic resin optical phase shifting film A or a laminate film consisting of said oriented synthetic resin film A and an optically isotropic amorphous film B disposed on at least one side thereof; said second substrate being an optically isotropic substrate comprising a single-layer or multiple-layer optically isotropic amorphous film having a retardation value of not more than 50 nm, or a glass sheet; and a pair of polarizing sheets disposed, respectively, on each side of said liquid crystal cell.
