- the angle difference between the absorption axis direction of the upper polarizing plate and the arrangement relationship of the upper polymer is set to 40 °, thereby obtaining the upper polymer.
- FIG. 25C shows an arrangement relationship between the upper polarizing plate 4 and the upper polymer 32a as shown in FIG. That is, the arrow a is in the direction of the absorption axis of the upper polarizing plate, and is in the direction of 135 ° with respect to the X axis.
- the arrow b indicates the molecular orientation of the upper polymer, and the molecular orientation of the upper polymer is at ⁇ 85 ° with respect to the X-axis of the torsional retardation plate. Therefore, these The angle difference between them is 40 °. Therefore, if a roll film with an orientation direction of the upper polymer roll film of 40 ° is used, the aperture of the upper polarizer and the roll film of the upper polymer overlap in the same direction. You can agree.
- FIG. 25D shows an arrangement relationship between the upper polarizing plate 4 and the upper polymer 32a as shown in FIG. That is, arrow a is in the + 90 ° direction with respect to the X axis of the torsional retarder, while arrow b is in the + 50 ° direction with respect to the X-axis of the torsional retarder. Therefore, the angle difference between them is 40 °. Therefore, if a top film with an orientation direction of the upper polymer of 40 ° is used, the roll film of the upper polarizer and the roll film of the upper polymer can be superposed in the same direction. . Furthermore, when cutting into individual sizes, it is only necessary to cut at right angles, so that the roll film can be used with almost no waste, and the cost can be further reduced.
- FIG. 26 is an explanatory diagram in which FIGS. 25C and 25D are applied to actual manufacturing.
- the roll film of the upper polarizer and the roll film of the upper polymer are flowed in the same direction, overlapped, adhered and cut to produce a single polarizer with a retardation plate (dotted line). 1).
- they are rolled up and wound, cut to an appropriate size, and a polarizing unit and a twisted phase plate are attached to produce a unit (solid line 2).
- solid line 2 solid line 2
- FIG. 27 is a main part configuration diagram in which a reflector is added to the liquid crystal display device shown in FIG.
- the reflector 5 is made of aluminum or a thin substrate made of aluminum or the like by vapor deposition.
- FIG. 28 is a main configuration diagram in which a touch panel is added to the liquid crystal display device shown in FIG.
- the touch panel 6 is usually attached to the upper polarizing plate 4.
- a high contrast can be obtained, so that even if the touch panel 6 is attached, it is easy to see and the image quality is not deteriorated.
- FIG. 29 is a graph illustrating the temperature characteristics of the temperature-compensated liquid crystal polymer and the retardation of the nematic liquid crystal layer used in the modification of the present invention.
- a torsional retardation plate in which the value of ⁇ nd 2 does not change even when the temperature changes is used, but a temperature-compensated liquid crystal polymer in which the value of ⁇ nd 2 decreases as the temperature increases.
- a liquid crystal display device By using a liquid crystal display device, it is possible to provide a liquid crystal display device exhibiting better temperature characteristics. It can be seen that the difference between ⁇ nd 1 of the nematic liquid crystal layer and ⁇ nd 2 of this temperature-compensated liquid crystalline polymer is almost constant in the temperature range of 20 ° C. to 80 ° C.
- the two ⁇ d have the same characteristic tendency as much as possible.
- the liquid crystal polymer (LCP) the values are almost the same in this temperature range, so that high image quality can be obtained.
- the difference between the two retardations that is, the force specified in the range of 0.1 to 0.3 ⁇ m, that is, And 1 to And 2 is defined as described above.
- the temperature was specified at 25 ° C, but of course, it can be applied in the temperature range of 20 ° C to 80 ° C.
- FIG. 30 is a graph illustrating the contrast when a liquid crystal polymer having temperature compensation is used.
- the temperature-compensated liquid crystal polymer used in the modification of the present invention is combined with a liquid crystal cell, no deterioration in contrast is observed as shown in the figure.
