An optical film in accordance with one embodiment comprises a stack having a plurality of basic pairs each constructed by stacking first and second layers. The number of stacks, the refractive index difference |&Dgr;ni| in a predetermined direction between the first and second layers, the thicknesses of the first and second layers, and the number of basic pairs are set such that a reflection spectrum formed by the optical film conforms to a target reflection spectrum. The target reflection spectrum is a spectrum having a reflection peak region including a spectrum region having a reflectance of at least 50% within a predetermined wavelength width, in a reflection spectrum of a first polarized light in a wavelength range of 400 to 700 nm, while exhibiting a reflectance of 20% or less in a reflection spectrum of a second polarized light within the wavelength range. |
