Abstract:
A cholesteric liquid-crystal mixture containing a compound represented by the general formula (Ia), a compound represented by the general formula (Ib), a fluorine-containing horizontal alignment agent and a polymerization initiator is capable of forming a film which is prevented from precipitation of liquid-crystal compounds therein, of which the haze is reduced and which has a broad reflection width. Z1—Y1-A1-Y3-M1-Y4-A2-Y2—Z2 General Formula (Ia) Z3—Y5-A3-Y7-M2-P General Formula (Ib)
