OPTICALLY COMPENSATING FILM, POLARIZING PLATE AND APPARATUS FOR DISPLAYING IMAGES (LCD)

摘要

An optically compensating film comprising a polymer film having a retardation value Re ( = (nx - ny) x d) of 0 to 100 nm and a retardation value Rth (= {(nx + ny)/2 - nz} x d) of 70 to 500 nm, and an optically anisotropic layer formed by a liquid crystal compound thereon was disclosed. The polymer film is formed of a polymer having a photoelastic coefficient of 10 x 10>-12< m>22<.24hrs) or less measured according to the test method of JIS Z0208, of 70 to 500 nm. A polarizing plate and apparatus comprising the optically compensating film were also disclosed.
