ABSTRACT:
A liquid crystal display device wherein a nematic liquid crystal having a positive dielectric anisotropy and added with a chiral material is sealed between a pair of upper and lower substrates so as to constitute a helical structure twisted within a range between 90.degree. and 160.degree. along a direction of thickness thereof, polarizing axes or absorption axes of a pair of polarizing plates disposed on the upper and lower substrates are inclined by a predetermined angle falling within a range between 25.degree. and 65.degree. with respect to major axes of liquid crystal molecules adjacent to the upper and lower substrates, respectively, and in the direction of the twist of the liquid crystal, and a product .DELTA.n.multidot.d of a thickness d (.mu.m) and an optical anisotropy .DELTA.n of a liquid crystal layer falls within a range from 0.8 .mu.m to 1.2 .mu.m.
