Provided are: a polymerizable liquid-crystal compound suitable for producing positive-C-plate retarder films which have excellent heat resistance and reverse wavelength dispersion characteristics; a polymerizable liquid-crystal composition containing the polymerizable liquid-crystal compound; a retarder film with excellent heat resistance obtained by curing the polymerizable liquid-crystal composition; and an elliptical polarizer and a display device both including the retarder film. The polymerizable liquid-crystal compound has two polymerizable groups, satisfies the relationship Re(450 nm)/Re(550 nm)<1.0 (I), and is represented by general formula (1). (In formula (1), P11 is a polymerizable group; R12 is a C1-20 alkyl group, etc.; S11 and S12 are each a spacer group; X11 and X12 are each –O-, etc.; A11 and A12 are each a 1,4-phenylene group, etc.; Z11 and Z12 are each independently –O-, etc.; M is a group selected from among formulae (M-1) to (M-9); and G is any of formulae (G-1) to (G-5).) |
