A deflecting plate is characterized in that the deflecting plate includes at least a layer (a) and a layer (b), which at least have a protection layer (A), a deflector and a protection layer (B) in this order and have a thermoplastic resin as a main ingredient of the protecting layer (A), and a flexural modulus of the layer (a) is larger than that of the layer (b). A liquid crystal display device is characterized in that a light source, a light incoming side deflecting plate, a liquid crystal cell and a light outgoing side deflecting plate are provided in this order, and the light incoming side deflecting plate and/or the light outgoing side deflecting plate is the deflecting plate of this invention. The strong deflecting plate having high surface hardness and the liquid crystal display device provided with such deflecting plate are provided. |
