Abstract
Disclosed is an optical film including an optical laminate having two or more laminated light reflection layers of different center wavelengths of reflection and a polarizing element layer. Reflection layers are selected from at least one light reflection layer of both RPRL and LPRL, each having a center wavelength of selective reflection at or within 400 nm and 900 nm, RPRL having a fixed cholesteric liquid crystal phase with a right-handed spiral structure having right-handed circularly polarized light reflectivity, and LPRL having a fixed cholesteric liquid crystal phase with a left-handed spiral structure having left-handed circularly polarized light reflectivity. Layers RPRL and LPRL have center wavelengths of selective reflection shifted from that of a light reflection layer adjacent to each other by an interval of 40 nm or more and 500 nm or less, and the maximum reflectance of optical laminate is 50% or less.
