1. A polarizing plate comprising:
a polarizer; and
a first retardation layer, a second retardation layer and a third retardation layer sequentially stacked on a lower surface of the polarizer,
wherein the first retardation layer is a positive C retardation layer;
the second retardation layer exhibits positive dispersion and has an in-plane retardation of about 220 nm to about 280 nm at a wavelength of 550 nm;
the third retardation layer exhibits positive dispersion and has an in-plane retardation of about 80 nm to about 145 nm at a wavelength of 550 nm; and
assuming an absorption axis of the polarizer is tilted at an angle of 0°, the second retardation layer has a slow axis tilted at an angle θ2 of about +14° to about +24° or of about −24° to about −14° with respect to the absorption axis of the polarizer and the third retardation layer has a slow axis tilted at an angle θ3 of about +79° to about +89° or of about −89° to about −79° with respect to the absorption axis of the polarizer.
