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

摘要

Provided is a retardation layer including a plurality of regions having different phase differences. A phase retardation plate (10) is provided with a substrate (110), and a solidified liquid crystal layer (130) supported by the substrate. The solidified liquid crystal layer is a continuous film, which is made of the same material and has biaxial optical anisotropy. The solidified liquid crystal layer includes a plurality of regions (130a, 130b, 130c), and the in-plane phase difference and the phase difference in the thickness direction are different from each other.
