An object of the present invention is to provide a polarizing element capable of increasing a contrast ratio in an oblique direction of a liquid crystal display device and reducing a color shift amount in the oblique direction. A polarizing element of the present invention includes a polarizer and a negative C plate, a positive A plate, and a positive C plate on one side of the polarizer, and the positive A plate has a slow axis of the polarizer A. It is arranged between the polarizer and the positive C plate so as to be substantially orthogonal to the absorption axis of the polarizer, and Rth PC [590] of the positive C plate is −60 nm or less.
