Patent ID: 10317599

Abstract:
A wavelength plate, wherein first birefringent layer and second birefringent layer are laminated such that in-plane directions of optical axes of first birefringent layer and second birefringent layer cross each other, wherein the wavelength plate satisfies formulae (1), (2), (3), and (4), and wherein at least one of first birefringent layer and second birefringent layer is obliquely-deposited birefringent layer formed by oblique deposition, Δn1×t1=λ/2  (1)1.7≤(Δn1×t1)/(Δn2×t2)≤2.7  (2)5°≤θ1≤30°  (3)(2θ1+35°)≤θ2≤(2θ1+50°)  (4)
