    摘要: An optical element includes, sequentially from a viewing surface side toward a back surface side: a viewing-surface-side polarizer; a retarder; and a back-surface-side polarizer, a transmission axis of the viewing-surface-side polarizer and a transmission axis of the back-surface-side polarizer being parallel to each other, the optical element having an average angle θ between an angle θ1 and an angle θ2 of greater than 0° and smaller than 90°, wherein the angle θ1 represents an angle formed by an optical axis of the retarder on a surface close to the back surface with the surface close to the back surface; and the angle θ2 represents an angle formed by an optical axis of the retarder on a surface close to the viewing surface with the surface close to the viewing surface.

    摘要: Provided is an optical element including a phase difference layer. The phase difference layer is a laminate of n first phase difference layers and m second phase difference layers. The n first phase difference layers each contain first anisotropic molecules with tilt angles different between a viewing surface side and a back surface side. The m second phase difference layers each contain second anisotropic molecules with tilt angles different between a viewing surface side and a back surface side. Slow axes of the n first phase difference layers are in a same orientation. Slow axes of the m second phase difference layers are in a same orientation. The slow axes of the n first phase difference layers and the slow axes of the m second phase difference layers are anti-parallel to each other and are parallel to or perpendicular to the transmission axis of the first polarizer.
