RETARDATION PLATE, METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING THE RETARDATION PLATE, AND LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY DEVICE

摘要

A retardation layer includes plurality of regions different in retardation. A retardation plate (10) includes a substrate (110) and a solidified liquid crystal layer (130) supported by the substrate. The solidified liquid crystal layer is a continuous film made of a same material, and has biaxial optical anisotropy. The solidified liquid crystal layer includes plurality of regions (130a, 130b, 130c), the regions being different in an in-plane retardation and a thickness direction retardation.
