Abstract: Provided is a liquid crystal composition capable of forming an optically anisotropic layer, and method thereof, in which a variation in a twisted angle of liquid crystal compound in an in-plane direction is suppressed an optical film, and a circularly polarizing plate for an organic EL display. The liquid crystal composition contains a liquid crystal, optically active compound A which is a photosensitive optically active compound whose helical twisting power changes upon irradiation with light and has a molar absorption coefficient of 5,000 M−1·cm−1 or more with respect to light having a wavelength of 365 nm, and an optically active compound B having a molar absorption coefficient with respect to light having a wavelength of 365 nm smaller than the molar absorption coefficient of the optically active compound A, in which a mass content ratio of the optically active compound A to the liquid crystal compound is less than 0.01.

Abstract: Provided is an optical film with a resin substrate adhered to an optically anisotropic layer and suppression of occurrence of optical defects in the optically anisotropic layer. The optical film has a resin substrate having an alignment regulating force and an optically anisotropic layer arranged thereon, in which the optically anisotropic layer contains a liquid crystal compound and a compound having a heteroatom different from the liquid crystal compound, and in a case where a surface of the optical film on an optically anisotropic layer side thereof is a first surface and a surface of the optical film on a resin substrate side thereof is a second surface, and components of the optical film in a depth direction are analyzed by time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry while irradiating the optical film with an ion beam from the first surface toward the second surface, the obtained profile satisfies a predetermined requirement.

Abstract: Provided is an optical film that has a thin thickness, is suitable in terms of continuous productivity, and exhibits suppressed tinting of black color in a front direction and an oblique direction in a case of being used as a circularly polarizing plate in an organic EL display device; a circularly polarizing plate; and an organic EL display device. The optical film includes an elongated support and a first, a second, and a third optically anisotropic layer in this order, in which a thickness of the elongated support is 10 to 45 μm, the first optically anisotropic layer is formed of a rod-like liquid crystal compound, the second optically anisotropic layer is formed by fixing a twist-aligned liquid crystal compound having a helical axis in a thickness direction, the third optically anisotropic layer is formed of a liquid crystal compound, and each optically anisotropic layer exhibits predetermined optical characteristics.
