Disclosed is a polarizer protective film, a polarizing plate, and a liquid crystal display device realizing the polarizer protective film and the polarizing plate, which enable further thinning of the liquid crystal display device while maintaining good visibility. In order to solve the above problems, the liquid crystal display device of the present invention has a backlight light source, two polarizing plates, and a liquid crystal cell disposed between the two polarizing plates, wherein the backlight source is a white light source having a continuous emission spectrum, Wherein at least one polarizer protective film has the following properties (a) to (c): (a) retardation (Re) of not less than 3,000 nm but not more than 30,000 nm, (B) a ratio (Re / Rth) of retardation (Re) to thickness direction retardation (Rth) of not less than 1.0; and (c) a degree of planar orientation (DELTA P) of not more than 0.12. do. |
