Abstract
A pair of polarizers are respectively attached to a pair of substrates forming a twisted nematic field effect mode liquid crystal display. An orientation control film is disposed on each of the pair of substrates to orient liquid crystal molecules of a liquid crystal material in a desired direction. Each of the pair of polarizers is attached to an outer surface of the respective substrates such that the plane of polarization of each of the polarizers is not in parallel with or perpendicular to a direction oriented by the orientation control film.
