The invention relates to a liquid-crystal display device comprising a front-side polarizing element, a rear-side polarizing element, a liquid-crystal cell, a front-side retardation region, and a rear-side retardation region composed of one or more retardation layers disposed between the rear-side polarizing element and the liquid-crystal cell wherein retardation along the thickness direction of the front-side retardation region and the rear-side retardation region, Rth front (λ), and Rth rear (λ), and the internal haze of the front-side retardation region and the rear-side retardation region, Hz fron and Hz rear , satisfy the following formula (1) or (2): n Rth front (λ)> Rth rear (λ), and Hz front <Hz rear , (1)n n Rth front (λ)< Rth rear (λ), and Hz fron >Hz rear .
