Liquid crystal display

A liquid crystal display including a liquid crystal cell having a liquid crystal layer provided between two glass substrates having a thickness of 0.5 mm or less, polarization plates provided on both surfaces of the liquid crystal cell, and a back light provided on a rear side of the liquid crystal cell, the liquid crystal display comprising:

• absorption axes of the polarization plates provided on both surfaces of the liquid crystal cell are disposed to be orthogonal with each other;
• and
• a difference (D−H) between
• a contractive force D in an absorption axis direction of the front side polarization plate provided on a front side of the liquid crystal cell, which is computed by multiplying a humidity dimensional change ratio of the following [a], an elastic modulus after the following condition (B), and a thickness of the front side polarization plate, and
• a contractive force H in a transmission axis direction of the rear side polarization plate provided on a rear side of the liquid crystal cell, which is computed by multiplying a humidity dimensional change ratio of the following [b], the elastic modulus after the following condition (B), and a thickness of the rear side polarization plate,
• is 365×10 N/m or less,
• wherein [a] the humidity dimensional change ratio expressed by a value obtained by subtracting a dimensional value of the front side polarization plate in the absorption axis direction after the following condition (C) from a dimensional value of the front side polarization plate in the absorption axis direction after the following condition (A),
• [b] the humidity dimensional change ratio expressed by a value obtained by subtracting a dimensional value of the rear side polarization plate in the transmission axis direction after the following condition (B) from a dimensional value of the rear side polarization plate in the transmission axis direction after the following condition (A),
• (A) the liquid crystal display is left to stand for 48 hours in an environment of a 60° C. relative humidity of 90%, and then is left to stand for 48 hours in an environment of a 25° C. relative humidity of 80%,
• (B) the liquid crystal display is left to stand for 48 hours in an environment of a 60° C. relative humidity of 90%, and then is left to stand for 48 hours in an environment of a 25° C. relative humidity of 60%, and
• (C) the liquid crystal display is left to stand for 48 hours in an environment of a 60° C. relative humidity of 90%, and then is left to stand for 48 hours in an environment of a 25° C. relative humidity of 10%.
