ABSTRACT:
A method of manufacturing an optical compensator sheet comprising the steps of providing a sheet of ionomer, which ionomer is bridged with sodium or magnesium ions, stretching said sheet of ionomer along one direction in the plane of sheet, so as to generate uni-axial optical anisotropy of predetermined amount having an optical axis along the stretched direction, sandwiching said stretched sheet of ionomer between a pair of substrates, putting said sandwiched sheet in an evacuatable heat-resisting bag, evacuating and sealing said bag, loading said bag in an autoclave furnace and applying heat and pressure to said sheet in said autoclave furnace at a temperature not less than the melting point of the sheet. The stretched sheet has a positive optical anisotropy along the stretched direction. The sheet after heat and pressure treatment has a negative optical anisotropy along the normal to the sheet.
