Abstract

An optically anisotropic film comprising a liquid crystal compound forming a nematic phase or smectic A phase, the liquid crystalline phase satisfying the following inequality:Δn(450 nm)/Δn(550 nm)<1.0in which each Δn (λ) represents an intrinsic birefringence at a wavelength of λ, wherein the optically anisotropic film (A) has an absolute in-plane retardation (Re) of 40 nm or less and a retardation in the thickness direction (Rth) of −10 nm or less.
