Abstract

An LCD includes a first TAC film, a first optical uniaxial phase compensating film, an LC cell, a second optical uniaxial phase compensating film and a second TAC film from the incident surface to the emitting surface. The first optical uniaxial phase compensating film is used for providing a first compensating value and a second compensating value by adjusting thickness and by adjusting a first refractive index, a second refractive index, and a third refractive index. The second optical uniaxial phase compensating film is used for providing a third compensating value by adjusting thickness and by adjusting a fourth refractive index, a fifth refractive index, and a sixth refractive index. Leakage of light is controlled according to the first compensating value, the second compensating value, and the third compensating value in the LCD.
