Abstract

A liquid crystal display comprises as liquid crystal panel having a liquid crystal layer disposed between electrode layers, polarizers disposed at both sides of the panel, and a solid birefringent film having the maximum refractive index direction varying with its depth and disposed at at least one side of the liquid crystal panel between the polarizers. The solid birefringent film conpensates the dependence of the polarization characteristic on wave length, thus being capable of obtaining either a monochrome display or a display having an extremely low coloration.
