Abstract

An optical compensation film is disclosed herein, which is made by uniaxially or biaxially stretching of a multilayer film including a first polymer film having a refractive index profile satisfying the equations of (nx+ny)/2≥nz and |nx−ny|<0.005 and a second polymer film having a refractive index profile satisfying the equations of (nx+ny)/2<nz and |nx−ny|<0.005, wherein nx and ny represent in-plane refractive indices and nz the thickness-direction refractive index of the films, and wherein said optical compensation film has a positive in-plane retardation that satisfies the relations of 0.7<R450/R550<1 and 1<R650/R550<1.25, wherein R450, R550, and R650 are in-plane retardations at the light wavelengths of 450 nm, 550 nm, and 650 nm respectively.
