What is limiting LCD panels viewing angles?

Hi, maybe it may be stupid, but please, what is limiting LCD panels viewing angles? I read so many display reviews, so many LCD technology overview, but I never found what is a physical cause of bad viewing angles. Why TN panels look inveted or washed-out? I really can´t find answer...
