Abstract
A liquid crystal display device includes a liquid crystal display panel which is configured such that a liquid crystal layer including liquid crystal molecules, which are twist-aligned at a twist angle of 70°±10°, is held between a first substrate and a second substrate, and an optical element which is provided on an outer surface of the second substrate. The optical element includes a polarizer plate, a first retardation plate which imparts a phase difference of a ½ wavelength, and a second retardation plate which imparts a phase difference of a ¼ wavelength, and a retardation value Δn·d of the liquid crystal layer is set at 200 ±30 nm, where Δn is a refractive index anisotropy of the liquid crystal layer and d is a thickness of the liquid crystal layer.
