Stereoscopic display device

A stereoscopic display device (1) of the present invention includes a display panel (10), a switch liquid crystal panel (20), a first polarizing plate (15) and a second polarizing plate (24), and a control unit for moving a parallax barrier in which transmitting regions and non-transmitting regions are formed in periodic fashion in a predetermined alignment direction, in such a manner that the parallax barrier is moved in the predetermined alignment direction in accordance with position information, and causing the switch liquid crystal panel (20) to display the parallax barrier. A first alignment film (216) and a second alignment film (226) of the switch liquid crystal panel (20) are rubbed so that molecule long axes of liquid crystal molecules in the vicinities of the center of a liquid crystal layer (23) in the thickness direction in a state where no voltage is applied are oriented in a direction perpendicular to the alignment direction as viewed in a plan view. Retardation of the liquid crystal layer (23) is in a range of 380 nm to 466 nm both inclusive when an intersection angle that is an angle formed between a rubbing direction of the first alignment film (216) and a transmission axis of the first polarizing plate (15) is in a range of 0° exclusive to 18° inclusive, and is in a range of 410 nm to 450 nm both inclusive when the intersection angle is in a range of 18° exclusive to 45° inclusive.
