LONG PATTERN ALIGNMENT FILM AND LONG PATTERN PHASE DIFFERENCE FILM USING SAME

摘要

The main purpose of the present invention is to provide a long pattern alignment film whereby pattern phase difference films can be manufactured easily and in large quantities. The present invention achieves the abovementioned purpose by providing a long pattern alignment film that is long shaped and has an alignment layer including an optical alignment material, and is characterized in that the alignment layer includes a first alignment region in which a rod-shaped compound having refractive index anisotropy is arranged in a fixed direction, and a second region in which the rod-shaped compound is arranged in a different direction than in the first alignment region.
