Liquid crystal panel and display including dichroic dye for absorbing yellow component of incident light

A liquid crystal display, comprising:

• a liquid crystal panel including a pair of substrates disposed in a generally parallel relationship to each other, first and second electrodes formed on respective inner surfaces of said pair of substrates, said inner surfaces facing each other, first and second alignment films formed on the respective inner surfaces of said pair of substrates to cover said first and second electrodes respectively, a first liquid crystal layer which is sandwiched by said pair of substrates while contacting said first and second alignment films, said liquid crystal layer including liquid crystal molecules having a negative dielectric anisotropy, a pair of polarizing plates disposed adjacent to respective outer surfaces of said pair of substrates, and a color compensation layer containing a dichroic dye for color compensation, said color compensation layer being formed outside of one of said pair of substrates, wherein said first and second alignment films align said liquid crystal molecules in said liquid crystal layer in a generally perpendicular relationship with said pair of substrates in an absence of voltage applied across said first and second electrodes and said molecules of the dichroic dye in said color compensation layer align in a generally parallel relationship to each other in a fixed direction so as to cause color compensation when said liquid crystal panel is observed from a direction that is inclined with respect to said fixed direction;
• and
• a driving circuit for applying a drive voltage to said first and second electrodes.
