<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a manufacturing method for an optical film which comprises a birefringence layer having a refractive index distribution of nx>nz>ny, and which has a small number of processes, reduced mixture of foreign matters and high productivity. <P>SOLUTION: A manufacturing method of an optical film having a birefringence layer comprises: a coating film forming process for directly applying a birefringent layer forming material containing at least one resin selected from the group consisting of a norbornene resin, a polycarbonate resin, a cellulose resin, a polyamide, and a polyurethane on a shrinkable film to form a coating film; a shrinking process for shrinking the coating film by a shrinkage of the shrinkable film; and a stretching process for stretching a laminate of the shrinkable film and the coating film in the direction perpendicular to the shrinkage direction of the coating film. By the shrinking process and the stretching process, the birefringence layer having a refractive index distribution of nx>nz>ny is formed. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
