(57) [Summary] [PROBLEMS] To provide a liquid crystal display having a large front luminance, a small dependence of luminance on a viewing angle, and hardly causing in-plane luminance unevenness over time. SOLUTION: In an optical film in which an optically anisotropic discontinuous phase is dispersed inside an optically isotropic continuous phase, the optically anisotropic discontinuous phase has a multiple bond conjugated with a benzene ring. A photo-alignable compound or a photo-alignable polymer is added. |
