Liquid crystal panel

Patent Pending PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a viewing-angle-controllable liquid crystal panel that can reduce light leakage when the panel is viewed in an oblique direction and can increase the range of controllable viewing angles. ; SOLUTION: The panel comprises upper and lower polarizers 1, disposed on both sides in a parallel Nicol state, a vertically aligned liquid crystal cell 8 disposed between the two polarizers, and a retardation film 9 made of a negative C-plate disposed between the vertically aligned liquid crystal cell and the upper polarizer.
