COMPOSITION FOR ANISOTROPIC PIGMENTED FILM, ANISOTROPIC PIGMENTED FILM, AND POLARIZING ELEMENT

摘要

An anisotropic dye film that exhibits a high dichroism and a high uniformity in a coating film is formed at a high level of productivity. In the composition for an anisotropic dye film containing a dye and being capable of forming a lyotropic liquid crystal phase, the time until the relaxation modulus G measured 0.01 seconds after the application of strain drops to 1/10 is equal to or shorter than 0.1 seconds at a temperature of 5° C. The composition contains a cation and a strongly acidic anion that respectively account for contents in the range of 0.9 to 0.99 equivalence and in the range of 0.02 to 0.1 equivalence relative to the content of the acidic groups of the dye. An anisotropic dye film is formed using this composition for an anisotropic dye film. A polarizing element is formed using this anisotropic dye film.
