A polarizing film including a polarizer that is a cured product of a polymerizable liquid crystal composition is provided. The polymerizable liquid crystal composition contains both a polymerizable liquid crystal compound having at least one polymerizable group and a dichroic coloring matter. The polarizer is laminated on a surface, having a pore size of 0.45 nm to 0.57 nm, of a base material. The pore size is obtained by converting, into a diameter, an average free volume radius calculated by a positron lifetime measurement method in which the positron lifetime is measured by irradiating the surface with positrons with an injection energy of 3 kV. |
