A phase difference compensating element comprises at least one birefringent laminate, which contains a light transmissive base material and "a" number, where a 2, of inorganic oblique incidence vacuum deposited films varying in direction of oblique incidence vacuum evaporation and having been laminated on a surface of the light transmissive base material. The birefringent laminate satisfies the conditions represented by Formula (i) and Formula (ii): Re(1)<Re(a)...(i) Re(b-1) Re(b)...(ii) where b is an arbitrary integer satisfying the condition 2 b a wherein Re(i) represents the retardation value d E n of the inorganic oblique incidence vacuum deposited film which has been formed at an i-th stage of film formation among the stages of forming the "a" number of the inorganic oblique incidence vacuum deposited films, respectively, where 1 i a, d represents the film thickness, and n represents the birefringent index.
