In the conventional super twisted nematic type liquid crystal display device, as disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 60-50511, the twist angle of the liquid crystal molecules is 90 degrees or more, and a pair of polarizing plates are provided above and below the liquid crystal cell, and these polarization axes are (or the absorption axis) and the long axis direction of the liquid crystal molecules adjacent to the electrode substrate is an included angle of 3
The range was 60 degrees from 01f. For this reason, for example, in the case of positive display, the external hue when no voltage is applied to the liquid crystal cell is not white (it is a hue ranging from green to yellow-red), and when a selection voltage is applied, the external hue is not black but blue. Therefore, as a means to solve this problem,
Recently, a liquid crystal display HR has been developed which is equipped with a second liquid crystal cell in which, in addition to the liquid crystal cell, a second twisted nematic liquid crystal is sandwiched between a pair of polarizing plates placed above and below the liquid crystal cell, thereby making black and white display possible. Proposed.

[Function] In the liquid crystal display device of the present invention, the linearly polarized light that has passed through one of the pair of polarizing plates becomes elliptically polarized light whose major axis direction and eccentricity differ depending on the wavelength when passing through the first liquid crystal cell. Therefore, this elliptically polarized light is passed through the second liquid crystal cell set under certain conditions. Then, the light that passed through the second liquid crystal cell becomes
If the eccentricity is close to 1 in the range from about 400 nm to about 700 nm, the light becomes elliptically polarized light whose major axes are almost aligned.

Therefore, the light that passes through the other polarizing plate has a small difference in transmittance depending on the wavelength and becomes white. Even when applying a selected voltage,
When the linearly polarized light that has passed through one of the pair of polarizing plates passes through the first liquid crystal cell, it becomes elliptically polarized light whose eccentricity differs from the direction of the long sleeve depending on the wavelength. When this elliptically polarized light passes through the second liquid crystal cell, it becomes elliptically polarized light whose eccentricity is close to 1 and whose major axes are substantially aligned. The direction of the long axis of the elliptically polarized light at this time is approximately 90 degrees off from the long axis direction of the elliptically polarized light when no voltage is applied. It becomes a display device. Here, if a nematic liquid crystal with a specific resistance of lXl0'Ω-1 or more is used as the second nematic liquid crystal used in the second liquid crystal cell, when static electricity is applied from the outside, the inside of the second liquid crystal cell will be affected by the static electricity. The molecular orientation of the liquid crystal may be disturbed, causing color unevenness in the display appearance and degrading the display quality. Therefore, in order to obtain a display appearance that is not affected by static electricity and has no color unevenness, it is possible to achieve this by using a nematic liquid crystal with a specific resistance of less than lXl0■Ω-1 for the second liquid crystal cell. It's been found.
