Abstract:
An LCD device with an LCD cell. The cell has a liquid crystal layer (100), a base panel adjacent to the liquid crystal layer (100) and a top panel adjacent to the liquid crystal layer (100) but opposing the base panel. The base panel has a first polarizer (POL1) arranged to polarize incident light into a first direction (x). The top panel has a color filter (CF) with one or more color filter portions so as to produce light with a predetermined color, a second polarizer (POL2) on a side of the color filter (CF) opposite to the liquid crystal layer (100) and designed to polarize incident light into a second direction (y) perpendicular to the first direction (x), and a third polarizer (POL3) located between the color filter (CF) and the liquid crystal layer (100) and designed to polarize incident light into the second direction (y).
