The present invention relates to
liquid crystal display technology, and provides an optical compensation film for a
liquid crystal display, including a first C-plate arranged on one side of a
liquid crystal panel, a first
polarizer arranged outside the first C-plate, a second C-plate arranged on the other side of the liquid
crystal panel, an A-plate arranged outside the second C-plate and a second
polarizer arranged outside the A-plate, wherein the in-plane compensation value for
optical path difference of the A-plate lies in the range of [92, 184] nm, and the compensation value for
optical path difference in the thickness direction of the A-plate lies in the range of [46, 92] nm. The dark-state light leakage distribution and the
contrast ratio of the display are improved through the optical compensation film according to the invention. The invention further provides a
liquid crystal display including an optical compensation film.
