COMPOSITE RETARDER PLATE HAVING RETARDER FILM WITH AT LEAST ONE REFRACTIVE INDEX DIFFERENT FROM THE OTHER INDICES AND A LIQUID CRYSTAL POLYMER PHASE SHEET HAVING A TRANSPARENT LAYER WITH ALL REFRACTIVE INDICES DIFFERENT FROM ONE ANOTHER
COMPOSITE RETARDER PLATE HAVING RETARDER FILM WITH AT LEAST ONE REFRACTIVE INDEX DIFFERENT FROM THE OTHER INDICES AND A LIQUID CRYSTAL POLYMER PHASE SHEET HAVING A TRANSPARENT LAYER WITH ALL REFRACTIVE INDICES DIFFERENT FROM ONE ANOTHER
A composite retarder plate is constituted by a combination of at least one retarder film and at least one liquid-crystal phase sheet. The liquid-crystal phase sheet includes a transparent substrate, and a liquid-crystal polymer layer provided on the transparent substrate. At least one of refractive indices nx, ny and nz of the retarder film is different from the other refractive indices when nx and ny are main refractive indices (nx≧ny) in in-plane directions and nz is a refractive index in a direction of the thickness of the composite retarder plate, respectively. All the refractive indices nx, ny and nz of the transparent substrate are different from one another. The retarder film, the transparent substrate and the liquid-crystal polymer layer are different in wavelength dependence of birefringence. The retarder film and the transparent substrate are different in Nz defined by the expression (nx−nz)/(nx−ny). Each of the retarder film and the transparent substrate is constituted by a film having non-liquid-crystal high molecules oriented. An optically compensatory polarizing plate, and a liquid-crystal display device is provided by disposing the aforementioned composite retarder plate on an absorption type polarizing plate.
