Abstract:
1. A composition comprising at least one liquid-crystal compound and a polymer having at least one group of the following formula (A) as the constitutive unit thereof: wherein Mp represents a trivalent linking group; L represents a single bond, or a bivalent linking group; X represents a substituted or unsubstituted functional group having a cyclic structure, wherein the at least one liquid-crystal compound is represented by the following formula (DI): wherein Y 11 , Y 12 and Y 13 each independently represent a methine group or a nitrogen atom; L 1 , L 2 and L 3 each independently represent a single bond or a bivalent linking group; H 1 , H 2 and H 3 each independently represent the following formula (DI-A) or (DI-B); R 1 , R 2 and R 3 each independently represent the following formula (DI-R): wherein YA 1 and YA 2 each independently represent a methine group or a nitrogen atom; XA represents an oxygen atom, a sulfur atom, a methylene group or an imino group; * indicates the position at which the formula bonds to any of L 1 to L 3 ; and ** indicates the position at which the formula bonds to any of R 1 to R 3 , wherein YB 1 and YB 2 each independently represent a methine group or a nitrogen atom; XB represents an oxygen atom, a sulfur atom, a methylene group or an imino group; * indicates the position at which the formula bonds to any of L 1 to L 3 ; and ** indicates the position at which the formula bonds to any of R 1 to R 3 , wherein * indicates the position at which the formula bonds to H 1 , H 2 or H 3 in formula (DI); F 1 represents a bivalent linking group having at least one cyclic structure; L 21 represents a single bond or a bivalent linking group; n1 indicates an integer of from 0 to 4; L 22 represents —O—, —O—CO—, —O—CO—O—, —S—, —NH—, —SO 2 —, —CH 2 —, —CH═CH— or —C≡C—, L 23 represents a bivalent linking group selected from —O—, —S—, —C(═O)—, —SO 2 —, —NH—, —CH 2 —, —CH═CH— and —C≡C—, a group formed by linking two or more of these, and when the group has a hydrogen atom, the hydrogen atom may be substituted with a substituent; Q 1 represents a polymerizing group or a hydrogen atom.
