Provided is a production method for a thin birefringent film with a satisfactory alignment property, in which a refractive index is controlled three-dimensionally and optical properties are unlikely to decrease in the case where the birefringent film is placed under high temperature and high humidity. The production method for a birefringent film of the present invention includes: the step (1) of preparing a solution that exhibits a nematic liquid crystal phase, containing at least one kind of polycyclic compound containing a —SO3M group and/or a —COOM group (M represents a counter ion) and a solvent; the step (2) of preparing a base material at least one surface of which is subjected to a hydrophilization treatment; and the step (3) of applying the solution prepared in the step (1) to the surface of the base material prepared in the step (2), the surface being subjected to the hydrophilization treatment, followed by drying, in which a contact angle of water at 23° C. on the surface of the base material prepared in the step (2), the surface being subjected to the hydrophilization treatment is 45° or less.

摘要:
Provided is a thin birefringent film whose refractive index is three-dimensionally controlled. The present invention provides a birefringent film including at least one polycyclic compound containing a —SO3M group and/or a —COOM group having a refractive index ellipsoid satisfying a relationship represented by nx>nz>ny, in which M represents a counter ion. Since such a birefringent film has a high in-plane refractive index, the thickness thereof is sharply reduced as compared with a conventional birefringent film and a desired retardation value can be obtained.
