Abstract

A liquid crystal display device of stable color tone uses phase difference plates made of a uniaxially stretched polymer film and comprises a polarizer plate, a first phase difference plate, a second phase difference plate, a supertwisted nematic type liquid crystal display panel, and a polarizer plate which are stacked on each other in this order. The rate of retardation change with the change in viewing angle of the uniaxially stretched polymer film is denoted coefficient K defined by three-dimensional refractive indexes, coefficient K1 of one of the phase difference plates is set in a range of -1.ltoreq.K1.ltoreq.0.17 and coefficient K2 of the other phase difference plate is set in a range of 0.ltoreq.K2.ltoreq.1.
