Abstract
A birefringence pattern builder used in a method of producing a patterned birefringent product including a step of patterned light exposure of an optically anisotropic layer and a step of heating the layer after the light exposure to 50° C. or higher but not higher than 400° C., which include the optically anisotropic layer, a support, and a laminate film in this order, is provided. The birefringence pattern builder prevents nonuniformity of functional layers that may generate in the production process, is useful for a production method that hardly causes nonuniformity in the patterned birefringent product even after a rolling-up step in the industrial production process, and enables a production of a thinner product.
