    Abstract: Provided are a novel optical element that can be used as a sensor or the like and a sensor including the same optical element. The optical element includes a cholesteric liquid crystal layer, in which the cholesteric liquid crystal layer has a liquid crystal alignment pattern in which a direction of an optical axis derived from a liquid crystal compound changes while continuously rotating in at least one in-plane direction, and in a case where a cross-section taken in a thickness direction conforming the in-plane direction in which the direction of the optical axis rotates is observed using a scanning electron microscope, a portion where a bright line and a dark line derived from the cholesteric liquid crystalline phase are discontinuous is provided in the cholesteric liquid crystal layer in the in-plane direction in which the direction of the optical axis rotates.

    Abstract: The phase difference plate for a circularly polarizing plate including a first optically anisotropic layer, and a second optically anisotropic layer, in which the first optically anisotropic layer contains a liquid crystal compound helically aligned around a helical axis in its thickness direction, a helix angle of the liquid crystal compound in the first optically anisotropic layer is in a predetermined range, and an in-plane slow axis in a surface of the first optically anisotropic layer at the second optically anisotropic layer side is in parallel with an in-plane slow axis of the second optically anisotropic layer. The phase difference plate can sufficiently suppress the mixing of black with another color observed in the front direction when being stuck as a circularly polarizing plate on a display apparatus.
