Patent number: 8237899Abstract: The present invention provides a liquid crystal display device having a high contrast ratio and no coloring during black display, over a wide viewing angle range. The liquid crystal display device of the present invention includes a reverse wavelength dispersion-type biaxial retardation film having R0(B)/R0(G) and Rth(B)/Rth(G) not greater than 0.965 and R0(R)/R0(G) and Rth(R)/Rth(G) not smaller than 1.015; and a vertical alignment liquid crystal cell that has a blue, a green, and a red color filter layer and that satisfies Rth_LC(B)/Rth_LC(G)?1.000 and Rth_LC(R)/Rth_LC(G)?1.000. R0(B), R0(G) and R0(R) denote the in-plane retardations of the retardation film at wavelengths 450 nm, 550 nm and 650 nm. Rth(B), Rth(G) and Rth(R), and Rth_LC(B), Rth_LC(G) and Rth_LC(R) respectively denote the thickness-direction retardations of the retardation film and the liquid crystal cell at wavelengths 450 nm, 550 nm and 650 nm.Type: GrantFiled: November 19, 2008Date of Patent: August 7, 2012Assignee: Sharp Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Akira Sakai, Masahiro Hasegawa, Ikuo Ninomiya

Publication number: 20110001912Abstract: A display device of at least one embodiment of the present invention includes a display panel; an optical plate placed on a viewer side of the display panel with the intervention of an air layer; and an antireflection layer placed on a viewer side of the optical plate, the antireflection layer having a motheye structure over its surface. The optical plate includes a plastic layer configured to transmit visible light, a quarter-wave layer placed on a viewer side of the plastic layer, and a polarizing layer placed on a viewer side of the quarter-wave layer, the polarizing layer being configured to transmit a linear polarization. The display device is more suitable to mobile applications than the conventional devices.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 20, 2009Publication date: January 6, 2011Applicant: SHARP KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Ikuo Ninomiya, Nobuaki Yamada, Kazuhiko Tsuda, Akira Sakai
