<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a retardation plate which is manufactured by a simplified method and provides a semi-transmissive liquid crystal display having excellent display performance. <P>SOLUTION: The retardation plate includes a light transmissive plane body and an optically anisotropic solidified liquid crystal layer which is supported by the plane body and formed as a continuous film formed of the same material. The solidified liquid crystal layer includes first to third regions, and the first to third regions are composed of two sub-regions, namely a sub-region A and a sub-region B, respectively. The in-plane birefringence index of the first sub-region A is larger than that of the second sub-region A, the in-plane birefringence index of the third sub-region A is smaller than that of the second sub-region A, and the in-plane birefringence index of the first sub-region B is equal to that of the third sub-region B, smaller than that of the first sub-region A and larger than that of the third sub-region A. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT |
