A novel polarizing plate is disclosed. The polarizing plate comprises at least a polarizing film, a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, and an optical compensation sheet, having an absolute value of Y, defined by the following equation, equal to or smaller than 6.0×10 −4 : n Y =−7.0×10 5 ×Cn +4.3×10 −13 ×E −1.34×10 −3 where Cn (1/Pa) is photoelastic modulus of said pressure-sensitive adhesive layer and E (Pa) is modulus of elasticity of said optical compensation sheet. |
