Benefits of technology
[0071]The vertical alignment type liquid crystal display device of the present invention is bright in images and capable of displaying images of high contrast in all the directions.
Problems solved by technology
Thereupon, it is difficult to align uniformly the liquid crystal molecules.
The use of a conventional alignment treatment, i.e., rubbing treatment leads to a significant reduction in display quality.
However, a vertical alignment type liquid crystal display device with circular polarizers has a problem that the viewing angle characteristics are narrower than a vertical alignment type liquid crystal display device with linear polarizers.
However, the optical anisotropic element with a negative uniaxial anisotropy can compensate the positive uniaxial optical anisotropy in the liquid crystal cell thickness direction but can not compensate the viewing angle characteristics of a ¼ wavelength plate, resulting in a failure to obtain sufficient viewing angle characteristics.
Therefore, there is a limit in stretching in the thickness direction and thus the retardation in the thickness direction can not be controlled within a wide rage.
The thickness of the retardation film produced by the method is from 50 to 100 μm and is insufficient for low profiling required in liquid crystal display devices or the like.
Therefore, they can significantly improve the viewing angle but are not practical in view of production cost and thickness.(1) Patent Document 1: Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open Publication No. 2002-40428(2) Patent Document 2: Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open Publication No. 2003-207782(3) Patent Document 3: Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open Publication No. 2002-55342(4) Patent Document 4: Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open Publication No. 2006-85203
