RETARDATION FILM, AND OPTICAL COMPENSATION LAYER, OPTICAL COMPENSATION POLARIZING PLATE, LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY DEVICE AND ORGANIC EL DISPLAY DEVICE EACH USING SAID RETARDATION FILM
The present invention achieves a phase difference film that is excellent in wavelength dispersion property, in-plane retardation, and film thickness, by using a polymeric material (i) which is composed of at least one type of cellulose derivative having a specific alkoxyl group substitution degree D 1 and a specific 2-naphthoyl group substitution degree D 2 and (ii) which has a specific total 2-naphthoyl group substitution degree D 3 .
