LIQUID CRYSTAL FILM AND ELLIPTICAL POLARIZING PLATE PRODUCTION METHOD

A method for producing a thinned liquid crystal film with no support base film provides a mechanical strength required during the production process and a favorable releasability and enables an easy optical defect test. A liquid crystal material layer where the alignment of the liquid crystal on an alignment substrate is fixed is joined to a re-releasable substrate through an adhesive containing a surface modifier, the alignment substrate is separated to transfer the liquid crystal material layer to the re-releasable substrate, and the re-releasable substrate is separated, thus producing a liquid crystal film.
