<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a graded optical compensation film which is formed out of a non-liquid-crystal polymer and which is useful in an NT mode liquid crystal display device. <P>SOLUTION: A coating film is formed by applying the non-liquid-crystal polymer on a substrate. The non-liquid-crystal polymer in the coating film is graded and oriented. The coating film is solidified so as to form the graded optical compensation film. The non-liquid-crystal polymer is graded and oriented by, for example, applying external force, such as wind blowing, to the coating film. This kind of graded optical compensation film exhibits, for example, birefringence (Δn) ranging from 0.001 to 0.5 and thus is useful for the NT mode liquid crystal display device or the like. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO |
