Liquid crystal display device

A liquid crystal display device sequentially comprising from a viewing surface side to a back surface side:

• a first polarizer having a first transmission axis;
• a liquid crystal panel;
• a second polarizer having a second transmission axis;
• a biaxial retarder having a slow axis parallel to the second transmission axis;
• a third polarizer having a third transmission axis parallel to the second transmission axis;
• and
• a backlight,
• a back side polarizer portion that includes the second polarizer, the biaxial retarder, and the third polarizer satisfying the following formula (1):
• ΔYI2=YI2′−YI2<0 (1)
• wherein YI2′ represents a yellowness index in observation from an oblique direction, YI2 represents a yellowness index in observation from a front direction, and ΔYI2 represents a difference between YI2′ and YI2,
• wherein the front direction represents a direction at a 0° polar angle and the oblique direction represents a direction at a 60° polar angle and a 45° azimuth with the polar angle defined to be 0° in a direction parallel to a normal line of the liquid crystal panel and the azimuth defined to be 0° in a direction parallel to the slow axis of the biaxial retarder.
