The present invention relates to the realization of a VA-type liquid crystal display device having good visual characteristics while maintaining contrast, operation speed and the like as in the prior art.n n n The liquid crystal is aligned when a liquid crystal having a negative dielectric anisotropy is sandwiched between the first and second substrates, and the voltage is applied to the liquid crystal from at least one of the first and second substrates. A liquid crystal panel having domain regulating means for regulating the direction to be a plurality of directions, the first and second polarizing plates disposed on both sides of the liquid crystal panel, and at least one of the liquid crystal panel and the first or second polarizing plate. N x , n y ≥ n z (except n x = n y = n z ) when the refractive index in the in-plane direction is n x , n y , and the refractive index in the thickness direction is n z . At least one retardation film having a. |
