    Abstract: There are provided a reflection film, a windshield glass, and a head-up display system capable of suppressing formation of double images of a display image. The reflection film has a linearly polarized light reflection layer in which optically anisotropic layers and isotropic layers are laminated and a polarization converting layer, and the polarization converting layer satisfies any of conditions below.
    (A) The polarization converting layer is a retardation layer in which the front retardation is 30 nm to 200 nm and the angle between a slow axis direction and a direction of the transmission axis of the linearly polarized light reflection layer is 35° or less.
    (B) The polarization converting layer is a layer in which a helical alignment structure of a liquid crystal compound is fixed, and the number of pitches x in the helical alignment structure and the film thickness y (unit μm) of the polarization converting layer satisfy all relational expressions below.

    Abstract: A vehicle mirror having an image display function includes an image display device, a circularly polarized light reflection layer, and a front plate formed of glass or plastic in this order. The circularly polarized light reflection layer includes a linearly polarized light reflection plate and a 1/4 wavelength plate from a side of the image display device. The linearly polarized light reflection plate and the 1/4 wavelength plate are directly in contact with each other, or only an alignment layer is included between the linearly polarized light reflection plate and the 1/4 wavelength plate. A method for producing the vehicle mirror includes forming the 1/4 wavelength plate from a composition that is directly applied to the surface of the linearly polarized light reflection plate or that is directly applied to the surface of the alignment layer directly in contact with the linearly polarized light reflection plate.
