Abstract

L'invention fournit une plaque polarisante avec couche de déphasage dans laquelle les irrégularités dans le plan d'une teinte de réflexion sont inhibées. Selon un mode de réalisation de l'invention, la plaque polarisante avec couche de déphasage possède une plaque polarisante contenant un polariseur, et une première couche de déphasage. La valeur (RS) de variation de déphasage de cette plaque polarisante avec couche de déphasage est inférieure ou égale à 2,0. Cette valeur (RS) de variation de déphasage constitue un gradient d'une droite approximative d'une valeur de déphasage à l'intérieur du plan (RE(550)) de cette plaque polarisante avec couche de déphasage mesurée dans un état dans lequel des tensions de ０ｋｇ, ０,５ｋｇ, １ｋｇ, １,５ｋｇ et ２ｋｇ sont appliquées.
