<p>To provide a retardation film and an optical compensation film which have excellent optical properties and are useful as a compensation film for compensating the contrast and viewing-angle characteristics of liquid-crystal displays and as an antireflection film. The invention provides: an optical compensation film or optical compensation layer which is a film or layer comprising a fumaric ester resin, the film or layer having three-dimensional refractive indexes satisfying the relationship nz>ny‰¥nx, wherein nx is the refractive index in a fast-axis direction of the film plane or layer plane, ny is the refractive index in an in-plane direction perpendicular to the fast-axis direction, and nz is the refractive index in an out-of-plane vertical direction, the ratio of the retardation as measured at a wavelength of 450 nm to the retardation as measured at a wavelength of 550 nm (R450/R550) being 1.1 or lower (film (A)) ; an optical compensation film which comprises the film (A) and a film (B) which has three-dimensional refractive indexes satisfying the relationship ny>nx‰¥nz, wherein nx is the refractive index in a fast-axis direction of the film plane, ny is the refractive index in an in-plane direction perpendicular to the fast-axis direction, and nz is the refractive index in an out-of-plane vertical direction, and which has an in-plane retardation (Re) as measured at a wavelength of 550 nm of 50 nm or larger; a retardation film which is a film comprising a fumaric ester resin and in which when the refractive index in a fast-axis direction of the film plane, the refractive index in an in-plane direction perpendicular to the fast-axis direction, and the refractive index in an out-of-plane vertical direction are expressed by nx, ny, and nz, respectively, the refractive indexes satisfy the relationship nx<ny‰ nz; and a retardation film comprising a film (C) which is a film comprising a fumaric ester resin and in which when the refractive index in a fast-axis direction of the film plane, the refractive index in an in-plane direction perpendicular to the fast-axis direction, and the refractive index in an cut-of-plane vertical direction are expressed by nx, ny, and nz, respectively, the refractive indexes satisfy the relationship nx<ny‰ nz and a film (D) which has three-dimensional refractive indexes satisfying the relationship ny>nx‰¥nz or ny>nz‰¥nx, wherein nx is the refractive index in a fast-axis direction of the film plane, ny is the refractive index in an in-plane direction perpendicular to the fast-axis direction, and nz is the refractive index in an out-of-plane vertical direction.</p> |
