Abstract

A liquid crystal display comprises a liquid crystal panel including a liquid crystal layer having arranged liquid crystal molecules and sandwiched between two opposite substrates; and a drive means that changes transmittance of the liquid crystal panel according to an image signal. In the liquid crystal panel, when performing white display, transmittance at an inclination angle other than 0 degree is the largest in a transmittance distribution indicating change in transmittance with respect to change in an inclination angle with respect to a normal line of the liquid crystal panel in a predetermined direction of the liquid crystal panel.
