A liquid crystal panel including a liquid crystal cell having an improved
contrast ratio in an oblique direction and an improved color shift in an
oblique direction is provided.A liquid crystal panel according to the
present invention includes: a liquid crystal cell; a first polarizer
arranged on one side of the liquid crystal cell; a second polarizer
arranged on another side of the liquid crystal cell; a negative C plate
and a negative A plate arranged between the liquid crystal cell and the
first polarizer; and an isotropic optical element arranged between the
liquid crystal cell and the second polarizer. The negative C plate is
arranged between the first polarizer and the negative A plate.
