Abstract

An optical laminate or a reddening-resistant layer. The optical laminate does not cause a reddening phenomenon even when driven or maintained under extremely harsh conditions (e.g., very high temperature conditions), or a reddening-resistant layer applied thereto.

Claims (53)

1. An optical laminate, comprising:

an optical functional layer; and

a reddening-resistant layer formed on at least one surface of the optical functional layer,

wherein the reddening-resistant layer is a void-containing layer or a laminate comprising the void-containing layer,

wherein the reddening-resistant layer exhibits at least one peak within a scattering vector range of 0.06 nm −1 to 0.209 nm −1 in a log value graph of scattering intensity of small angle X-ray scattering, and
