1. A polarizer which is formed of a polarizer-forming composition containing a liquid crystal compound and a dichroic material, and containing the liquid crystal compound as a liquid crystal matrix component,
wherein the liquid crystal compound is a polymer compound having a glass transition point, a smectic liquid crystallinity and a nematic liquid crystallinity,
wherein a weight-average molecular weight of the liquid crystal compound is 10,000 or greater,
wherein a concentration of the dichroic material is 5% by mass or greater and 30% by mass or less with respect to a total mass of the liquid crystal compound and the dichroic material,
wherein the liquid crystal compound and the dichroic material are horizontally aligned, and
wherein a degree of alignment of the polarizer is 0.87 or more.
