Abstract

A polymer film is used as an optical compensatory sheet or a support thereof. The polymer film contains a rod-like compound. The rod-like compound in the form of a solution gives an ultraviolet absorption spectrum. In the spectrum, the wavelength of λmax at the maximum absorption peak is shorter than 250 nm. The spectrum of the rod-like compound is measured when the rod-like compound is in the form of solution. The polymer film has an Rth retardation value of Rth450 measured at the wavelength of 450 nm in the range of 30 to 160 nm. The polymer film also has an Rth retardation value of Rth590 measured at the wavelength of 590 nm in the range of 50 to 200 nm. The values of the Rth450 and Rth590 satisfy the condition of Rth590-Rth450≧2 nm.
