OPTICAL COMPENSATING SHEET, POLARIZING PLATE, AND LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY, PARTICULARLY REGARDING TO EXPANDING VIEWING ANGLE OF LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY IN RANGE THAT CONTRAST AND COLOR FLAVOR ARE NORMAL

摘要

PURPOSE: An optical compensating sheet, a polarizing plate, and a liquid crystal display are provided to improve a viewing angle of a liquid crystal display by using an optical compensating sheet appropriately adjusted in optical characters. CONSTITUTION: An optical compensating sheet has two optical anisotropic layers containing liquid crystal molecules on a transparent support body, web(16). The two optical anisotropic layers are practically different in optical characters selected from a group of a mean tilt angle of the liquid crystal molecules, a wavelength dispersion value of an in-plane retardation value, and the in-plane retardation value.
