Patent ID: 8318294

Claim:
An optical film comprising at least one type of plasticizer and is produced in a roll form, the optical film being produced by casting a dope, prepared by dissolving a raw material resin in a solvent, on an endless support to form a web, then the web being peeled from the endless support, followed by drying and winding, wherein the optical film has a total width of 1500 mm-4000 mm; value X and value X′ differ from each other, provided that value X is calculated by Expression 1 using value A which is an amount of a plasticizer present in a center portion on a front surface side of the optical film determined via TOF-SIMS (time of flight secondary ion mass spectrometry) and value B which is an amount of a plasticizer present in a center portion on a rear surface side of the optical film determined via TOF-SIMS, and value X′ is calculated by Expression 2 from value A′ which is an amount of a plasticizer present in an edge portion on the front surface side of the optical film determined via TOF-SIMS and value B′ which is an amount of a plasticizer present in an edge portion on the rear surface side of the optical film determined via TOF-SIMS; and value X is smaller than value X′: X={A /( A+B )}×100 Expression 1 X′={A ′/( A′+B ′)}×100, Expression 2 wherein value X is 20-49 and A≦B, and value X′ is 5-30 larger than value X and A′≦B′.
