Abstract

The invention provides a multilayer laminated film with alternately laminated birefringent and isotropic layers. The birefringent layers have a first monotonically increasing region of optical thickness and contain monotonically increasing region 1 A of maximum optical thickness of 100 nm or less, and monotonically increasing region 1 B of minimum optical thickness of more than 100 nm, and ratio 1 B/ 1 A of slope 1 B of monotonically increasing region 1 B to slope 1 A of monotonically increasing region 1 A is more than 0 and less than 0.8. The isotropic layers have a second monotonically increasing region of optical thickness and contain monotonically increasing region 2 A of maximum optical thickness of 200 nm or less and monotonically increasing region 2 B of minimum optical thickness of more than 200 nm, and ratio 2 B/ 2 A of slope 2 B of monotonically increasing region 2 B to slope 2 A of monotonically increasing region 2 A is more than 1.5 and 10 or less.
