Abstract: A liquid crystal display cell (110) includes: an opposing substrate (130) having an opposing electrode (Ecom); an array substrate (120) having a pixel electrode Dpix for each color; a liquid crystal layer (140) arranged in a bend arrangement located between the opposing substrate (120) and the array substrate (120); and red, green, and blue filter layers (CF(R), CF(G), CF(B)) arranged on one of the substrates.

Abstract: A liquid crystal display device, which performs color display by sequentially displaying different color images in a time division manner and mixing the color images, includes a liquid crystal display panel in which a liquid crystal layer is held between a pair of substrates, color light sources of a plurality of colors, and a controller circuit which controls each of the color light sources and the liquid crystal display panel. The controller circuit controls a time opening ratio and an emission light luminance of one of the color light sources, which emits light of a color with which coloring occurs in transmissive light emerging from the liquid crystal display panel at a time of black display, thereby reducing the coloring of the transmissive light and maintaining a white balance.

Abstract: A liquid crystal display device comprises an OCB-mode liquid crystal display panel including a liquid crystal layer in which the alignment state of liquid crystal molecules is transitioned in advance from a splay alignment to a bend alignment, and a display control section which applies a liquid crystal drive voltage to the liquid crystal layer according to a video signal. The display control section is configured to detect the application environment of the liquid crystal display panel and determine a minimum value of the liquid crystal drive voltage based on a phase-transition threshold voltage which causes energy of the splay alignment and energy of the bend alignment to be balanced with each other in the detected application environment.

Abstract: Optical compensation elements include first phase plates and second phase plates, which have retardation in a thickness direction. When a value ?n/?n? is set by normalizing a retardation amount ?n·d relating to light of each of wavelengths by a retardation amount ?n?·d relating to light of a predetermined wavelength ?, a normalized value ?n/?n? in the first phase plate is less than a normalized value ?n/?n? in a liquid crystal layer, and a normalized value ?n/?n? in the second phase plate is greater than the normalized value ?n/?n? in the liquid crystal layer, with respect to light of wavelengths other than the predetermined wavelength.

Abstract: Optical compensation elements include first phase plates and second phase plates, which have retardation in a front-plane direction. When a value ?n/?n? is set by normalizing a retardation amount ?n·d relating to light of each of wavelengths by a retardation amount ?n?·d relating to light of a predetermined wavelength ?, a normalized value ?n/?n? in the first phase plate is greater than a normalized value ?n/?n? in a liquid crystal layer, and a normalized value ?n/?n? in the second phase plate is less than the normalized value ?n/?n? in the liquid crystal layer, with respect to light of wavelengths other than the predetermined wavelength.
