assignmentn n n n Provision of the optical material which has a coloring optically anisotropic layer which can be used as a material for forming the color filter which has an optical compensating ability.n n n n Resolutionn n n n An optical material comprising a colored optically anisotropic layer, the colored optically anisotropic layer having a maximum absorption wavelength with a non-polarization transmittance of 30% or less in a range of wavelength 430 nm to 700 nm, and the colored optical anisotropic layer having a maximum absorption wavelength. WHEREIN: The absorbance Amax in the polarized light in which the absorbance becomes the maximum, and the absorbance Amin in the polarized light in which the absorbance becomes the minimum satisfy | fill the following formula: 1.0 <= Amax / Amin <= 1.4, and the colored optically anisotropic layer has the front retardation. The optical material which is 10 nm or more and less than 1000 nm.n n n n Colored optically anisotropic layer, optical material, non-polarization transmittance, maximum absorption wavelength |
