Abstract

An optically anisotropic thin film comprising a dichroic dye which is cured while keeping prescribed orientation and a process for producing the same which comprises the steps of forming an orientation film of prescribed mode on a transparent or semitransparent substrate, applying a solution of a dichroic dye in a solvent to the orientation film, and fixing the orientation of the dichroic dye by evaporating the solvent from the dichroic dye solution.
