Patent ID: 7201950

Claim:
An optical compensatory sheet comprising a transparent substrate and an optically anisotropic layer comprising at least one compound selected from the group represented by Formula (II): where A 1 , A 2 and A 3 respectively represent an alkylene group; R 1 , R 2 and R 3 respectively represent a substituted or non-substituted alkyl group or a substituted or non-substituted aryl group; and m 1 , m 2 and m 3 respectively represent an integer from 1 to 10, and when m 1 , m 2 and m 3 are respectively not less than 2, plural A 1 , A 2 or A 3 may be same as or different from each other; and the optically anisotropic layer further comprises liquid crystal molecules fixed in hybrid alignment.
