Abstract

A process for producing a phase retarder film or sheet, which comprises subjecting a stretched thermoplastic resin film or sheet to thermal relaxation at a temperature not lower than the glass transition temperature of the thermoplastic resin to shrink the film or sheet in the stretching axis direction while suppressing the expansion of the film or sheet in a direction parallel to the film or sheet surface and perpendicular to the stretching axis.
