ABSTRACT:
A circularly polarizing element is a laminate of n number of cholesteric liquid crystal layers that are laminated so that the helical axis in each liquid crystal layer extends in the direction of thickness, where liquid crystalline molecules in the cholesteric liquid crystal layers spiral in the same direction to form helixes. The cholesteric liquid crystal layers are wide-wave-range-covering liquid crystal layers adapted to selectively reflect circularly polarized light in wide wave ranges, and these selective reflection wave ranges overlap one another over a specified wide range. Each cholesteric liquid crystal layer is a single layer in which the helical pitch is varied in the direction of thickness so that the layer can selectively reflect circularly polarized light in a broadened wave range, and preferably covers a wave range of 200 nm or more. This circularly polarizing element is excellent in the alignment of liquid crystalline molecules and in optical properties, and has an easily and stably controlled reflectance/transmittance for circularly polarized light.
