(54) | Liquid crystal display and method of making the same |
(57) A liquid crystal display which comprises: a liquid crystal cell comprising a pair of substrates and a nematic liquid crystal layer sealed in between the pair of substrates, the substrate having an alignment layer and a transparent electrode; a quarter-wave plate comprising at least one polymer film; and a polarizing plate, wherein an angle of an orientation vector of the nematic liquid crystal in relation to the substrate varies with a voltage applied to the cell, and the quarter-wave plate and the polarizing plate are those cut out of a roll of a laminate obtained by bonding a roll of a quarter-wave plate and a roll of a polarizing plate, an absorption axis of which makes 45° with a longitudinal direction of the polarizing plate. |
