Abstract: Disclosed is a composite polarizing plate wherein a transparent protection layer (40) is formed on one side of a polarizer (30) which is composed of a polyvinyl alcohol resin and a retardation film (20) composed of a polypropylene resin is bonded to the other side of the polarizer (30), which is opposite to the side on which the transparent protection layer (40) is formed. The retardation film (20) composed of a polypropylene resin may be made of a homopolymer of propylene, or alternatively made of a copolymer with another monomer which mainly consists of propylene. A liquid crystal display is obtained by arranging this composite polarizing plate on at least one side of a liquid crystal cell (50).
