A liquid display device of D-STN mode capable of suppressing a line-shaped ununiformity
of brightness in displaying a dark appearance is presented. A displaying cell 1
and a compensation cell 21 are formed so that there is a difference
of thickness of at least 0.05 mm between the thickness of a glass substrate 2
at a front side of the displaying cell 1 and the thickness of a glass
substrate at a rear side of the compensation cell 21. The displaying cell
1 and the compensation cell 21 are arranged between a first polarizing
plate 32 and a second polarizing plate 33. A backlight 31 is
of a type emitting light whose half value width with respect to the peak luminance
is at least 5 nm.
