(57) [Problem] To develop a polarizing member which can form a liquid crystal display device which is hardly charged and which has excellent luminance and viewing angle characteristics, and which can prevent adhesion to a backlight. SOLUTION: A ジ ャ ン wavelength plate (2), a dichroic polarizing plate (3), and a light diffusion layer (4) having an antistatic function are provided on at least one side or both sides of a cholesteric liquid crystal layer (1) having a Grandian orientation. Polarizing member, surface light source using the polarizing member, and liquid crystal display device. [Effect] While adding the function of improving the viewing angle characteristics, the static electricity generated by peeling off the surface protective film and friction during handling can be suppressed to prevent the charging and the adhesion of dust thereby, and the viewing angle does not cause static electricity damage A liquid crystal display device having excellent characteristics can be obtained. In the case of a light diffusion layer having an uneven surface, adhesion to a backlight can be prevented. |
