Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a liquid crystal display device having sufficiently high lightness and causing no coloration in background color by regulating a product of refractive index anisotropy multiplied by a thickness of a liquid crystal layer to 0.6-0.7, and regulating also an angle between orientation axes (angle of torsion of the liquid crystal layer) to 210-260 deg.. CONSTITUTION:Orientation films 6, 7 which have been subjected to rubbing, are pasted to each glass substrate 1, 2 so as to cover transparent electrodes 4, 5, and a liquid crystal material 8 is sealed between the glass substrates 1, 2. A polarizing plate 10 having high degree of polarization and a polarizing plate 11 having high transmittance are provided to the outside surface of the glass substrates 1, 2, respectively. Supertwisted nematic liquid crystal having a product of a thickness multiplied by the refractive index anisotropy arranged to 0.6-0.7 and 210-260 deg. angle of torsion between orientation axes of orientation films 6, 7, namely an angle of torsion of liquid crystal layers 8, is adopted as the liquid crystal material 8. By this constitution, sufficiently high lightness necessary for display is obtd. The polarizing plate 10 having high degree of polarization serves to make lighting color darker, and the polarizing plate 11 having high transmittance serves to make the background color whiter.
