Liquid crystal panel and liquid crystal display apparatus

Abstract

The liquid crystal panel according to an embodiment of the present invention includes, in the stated order from a viewer side: a first polarizer; a first optical compensation layer; a liquid crystal cell; a second optical compensation layer; and a second polarizer, wherein: the first optical compensation layer has an absolute value of a photoelastic coefficient of 40×10−12 (m2/N) or less, has an in-plane retardation Δnd of 90 nm to 200 nm, has relationships of the following Expressions (1) and (2), and functions as a protective layer on a liquid crystal cell side of the first polarizer; and the second optical compensation layer has relationships of the following Expressions (3) and (4), Δnd(380)=Δnd(550)=Δnd(780)  (1) nx>ny>nz  (2) Rth(380)>Rth(550)>Rth(780)  (3) nx=ny>nz  (4).
