Abstract

An optical compensatory film comprising an optically anisotropic layer composed of a liquid crystal composition including a liquid crystal compound, wherein the liquid crystal composition contains a copolymer including a repeating unit derived from a monomer of formula [1] and a repeating unit derived from a monomer of formula [2]: wherein R 0 represents a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom or an alkyl group, L represents a divalent linking group, and n represents an integer of 1-18; wherein R 11 represents a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom or an alkyl group, L 11 represents a divalent linking group, and R 13 , R 14 and R 15 represents a hydrocarbon group or an aromatic heterocyclic group.

Claims (9)

1. An optical compensatory film comprising an optically anisotropic layer composed of a liquid crystal composition, wherein the liquid crystal composition comprises a liquid crystal compound, and at least one type of fluoroaliphatic group-containing copolymer including a repeating unit derived from a fluoroaliphatic group-containing monomer represented by the following formula [1] and a repeating unit derived from a monomer represented by the following formula [2]:

wherein R 0 represents a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom or an alkyl group, L represents a divalent linking group, and n represents an integer in the range of 1-18;

wherein R 11 represents a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom or an alkyl group, L 11 represents a divalent linking group, and R 13 , R 14 and R 15 each independently represents a straight-chain, branched or cyclic hydrocarbon group having 1-20 carbon atoms or an aromatic heterocyclic group, which may have a substituent.

2. The optical compensatory film according to claim 1 , wherein the fluoroaliphatic group-containing monomer represented by the formula [1] is represented by the following formula [3]:

wherein R 1 represents a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom or an alkyl group, X represents an oxygen atom, a sulfur atom or —N(Ra)—, m represents an integer in the range of 1-6, n represents an integer in the range of 1-18, and Ra represents a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group having 1-8 carbon atoms, which may have a substituent.

3. The optical compensatory film according to claim 1 , wherein the monomer represented by the formula [2] is represented by the following formula [7]:

wherein R 11 represents a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom or a methyl group, X 1 represents an oxygen atom, a sulfur atom or —N(Rc)—, R 23 , R 24 , R 25 each independently represents a straight-chain, branched or cyclic alkyl group having 1-20 carbon atoms, and Rc represents a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group having 1-8 carbon atoms, which may have a substituent.

4. The optical compensatory film according to claim 1 , wherein the liquid crystal compound is a rod-shaped liquid crystal compound, and the liquid crystal compound is substantially vertically aligned.

5. A liquid crystal display device comprising the optical compensatory film according to claim 1 .
