The invention relates to a liquid crystal display device comprising a liquid crystal cell and at least one compensation film or a combination of polarizer and optical compensators comprising at least one compensation film, said compensation film comprising at least one layer of an isotropic polymer obtainable by polymerization of a mixture of a polymerizable mesogenic material comprising: a) compound having one or two more polymerizable functional group, in the presences b) an initiator, c) optionally a non-polymerizable compound having two or more polymerizable functional groups and d) optionally a stabilizer, characterized in that said layer of an anisotropic polymer has a hometropic or tilted hometropic molecular orientation. The invention also relates to methods of manufacturing said compensation films. The invention further relates to mixtures of chiral polymerizable mesogenic material used for manufacturing of said compensation films.
