  • the retardation of an oriented polymer film is the difference in phase when light passes through a film of thickness d, based on the difference in the speeds of advance of light (refractive index) in the direction of orientation of the film and the direction normal thereto; it is known to be represented by ⁇ n ⁇ d as the product of the difference in refractive indexes in the orientation direction and the direction normal thereto An and the film thickness d.
  • the orientation of an oriented polymer film according to the invention indicates a state in which the polymer molecule chains are aligned in primarily a given direction, and this state can be measured by measuring the retardation of the film ( ⁇ n ⁇ d); however, the orientation referred to here is one in which the retardation R(550) is at least 20 nm and/or K(550) is at least 20 nm, at a measuring wavelength of 550 nm.
  • the orientation is normally produced by stretching the film.
  • the wavelength dispersion (wavelength dependency) of the retardation can be represented by the wavelength dispersion (wavelength dependency) of the birefringence ⁇ n.
  • the orientation direction of the oriented polymer film is the direction of drawing, when the film has been uniaxially drawn, for example, under conditions near the glass transition temperature Tg (Tg ⁇ 20° C.), which are publicly known retardation film manufacturing conditions. In the case of biaxial drawing, it is the direction of drawing in which the orientation is higher.

  • ⁇ n o may be determined by combining dichromatic infrared spectroscopy with retardation measurement and the others.
  • Formula (a) completely ignores changes in the polarizability due to electron interaction between polymers A and B, and this assumption is also used hereunder. Also, since optical transparency is a requirement for uses of retardation films such as for the present invention, the blend is preferably a compatible blend, in which case ⁇ n F is sufficiently small that it may be ignored.
  • the only measuring wavelengths considered here are 450 and 550 nm. Designating the birefringence of the retardation film at these wavelengths as ⁇ n(450) and ⁇ n(550), respectively, this is represented as ⁇ n(450)/ ⁇ n(550) ⁇ 1.

  • the same idea may also be applied even to polymer blends of homopolymers and copolymers or polymer blends of two copolymers. That is, in such cases the idea may be applied by dividing the component polymers of the polymer blend into their constituent monomer units, considering the polymer blend as an aggregate of homopolymers made of respective monomer units, and considering this aggregate as a combination of polymer A comprising a group of homopolymers with positive optical anisotropy and polymer B comprising a group of homopolymers with negative anisotropy.

More preferred, therefore, are the ranges: 0.60 ⁇ R(450)/R(550) ⁇ 0.95 (d′) and 1.05 ⁇ R(650)/R(550) ⁇ 1.35 (e′)
