- the reflective film is a member for reflecting a projected image to display the projected image. Therefore, the reflective film may be provided at a position where the projected image projected by a projector or the like can be visibly displayed. That is, the reflective film of the present invention functions as a combiner for a head-up display (hereinafter also referred to as HUD).
- the combiner means an optical member that can visibly display an image projected from a projector and can simultaneously observe information on the side opposite to the incident side of the projected light, such as a landscape, when observing the combiner from the incident side of the projected image. That is, the combiner functions as an optical path combiner that displays the light of the outside world and the light of the projected image by superimposing them together.
- the selective reflection layer has a cholesteric liquid crystal layer and provides reflection that satisfies the above-mentioned requirements (i) to (iii).

- the polymerizable liquid crystal compound may be polymerized by a curing reaction and no longer have liquid crystallinity.
- the selective reflection central wavelength can be adjusted by adjusting the n value and/or the P value.
- the pitch P of the helical structure (one helix pitch) is, in other words, the length in the helical axis direction corresponding to one turn of the helix, i.e., the length in the helical axis direction along which the director (the long axis direction in the case of rod-shaped liquid crystals) of the liquid crystal compound constituting the cholesteric liquid crystal phase rotates 360°.
- the helical axis direction of a normal cholesteric liquid crystal layer coincides with the thickness direction of the cholesteric liquid crystal layer.
- the selective reflection central wavelength and half width of the cholesteric liquid crystal layer can be determined, for example, as follows.

If the value of the shorter wavelength side of the two wavelengths that have an intermediate (average) transmittance between the minimum transmittance of this peak and the transmittance before the decrease is ⁇ l (nm) and the value of the longer wavelength side is ⁇ h (nm), the selective reflection central wavelength ⁇ and half width ⁇ can be expressed by the following formula.
- the selective reflection central wavelength obtained as described above substantially coincides with the wavelength at the center of gravity of the reflection peak of the circularly polarized light reflection spectrum measured from the normal direction of the cholesteric liquid crystal layer.
- the light is made to enter the windshield glass at an angle, so that the reflectance on the glass plate surface on the projected light entrance side can be reduced.
- the light is also obliquely incident on the cholesteric liquid crystal layer constituting the selective reflection layer 11 of the reflective film 10.
- light incident at an angle of 45° to 70° with respect to the normal to the reflective film 10 in air with a refractive index of 1 passes through the cholesteric liquid crystal layer with a refractive index of about 1.61 at an angle of about 26° to 36°.

- a cholesteric liquid crystal layer having a central wavelength of selective reflection in the range of 660 to 720 nm can reflect projected light in the range of 535 to 647 nm.
- Such a wavelength range is a wavelength region with high luminosity, and therefore contributes greatly to the brightness of a projected image, resulting in a projected image with high brightness.
- the helical pitch of the cholesteric liquid crystal phase depends on the type of chiral agent used together with the polymerizable liquid crystal compound and its concentration, so the desired pitch can be obtained by adjusting these.
- the helical sense and pitch can be measured using the methods described in "Introduction to Liquid Crystal Chemistry Experiments” edited by the Japanese Liquid Crystal Society, published by Sigma Publishing in 2007, p. 46, and "Liquid Crystal Handbook” edited by the Liquid Crystal Handbook Editorial Committee, published by Maruzen, p. 196.

- the heating temperature is preferably 200° C. or less, and more preferably 130° C. or less.
- This alignment treatment provides an optical thin film in which the polymerizable liquid crystal compound is twisted and aligned so that the helical axis is substantially perpendicular to the film surface.

- the light irradiation is preferably performed using ultraviolet light.
- the irradiation energy is preferably 20 mJ/ cm2 to 50 J/ cm2 , and more preferably 100 to 1,500 mJ/ cm2 .

- the polymerization reaction rate can be determined by measuring the consumption rate of the polymerizable functional group by infrared absorption spectroscopy.
- the polarization conversion layer 14 is a layer in which the helical orientation structure of a liquid crystal compound is fixed, and it is preferable that the pitch number x of the helical orientation structure and the film thickness y (unit: ⁇ m) of the polarization conversion layer satisfy all of the following relational expressions (a) to (c): 0.1 ⁇ x ⁇ 1.0... Formula (a) 0.5 ⁇ y ⁇ 3.0... Formula (b) 3000 ⁇ (1560 ⁇ y)/x ⁇ 50000... Formula (c) One pitch of the helical structure of a liquid crystal compound is one turn of the helix of the liquid crystal compound. That is, one pitch is defined as a state in which the director of the helically aligned liquid crystal compound (the long axis direction in the case of a rod-shaped liquid crystal) rotates 360°.
- the polarization conversion layer When the polarization conversion layer has a helical structure of liquid crystal compounds, it exhibits optical rotation and birefringence for visible light, which has a shorter wavelength than the reflection peak wavelength in the infrared range. This allows for control of polarization in the visible range.
- the pitch number x of the helical orientation structure of the polarization conversion layer and the film thickness y of the polarization conversion layer within the above range, it is possible to provide the polarization conversion layer with the function of optically compensating for visible light, or the function of converting linearly polarized light (p-polarized light) incident on the reflective film into circularly polarized light.
- the polarization conversion layer exhibits optical rotation and birefringence for visible light because the liquid crystal compound has a helical structure that satisfies the relational expressions (a) to (c).
- the pitch P of the helical structure of the polarization conversion layer is set to a length that corresponds to the pitch P of the cholesteric liquid crystal layer, whose selective reflection center wavelength is in the long infrared wavelength range, the polarization conversion layer exhibits high optical rotation and birefringence for short-wavelength visible light.
- the relational expression (a) is "0.1 ⁇ x ⁇ 1.0". If the pitch number x of the helical structure is less than 0.1, problems arise such as inability to obtain sufficient optical rotation and birefringence. Furthermore, if the pitch number x of the helical structure exceeds 1.0, the optical rotation and birefringence become excessive, causing inconveniences such as failure to obtain the desired elliptically polarized light.
- the relationship (b) is "0.5 ⁇ y ⁇ 3.0". If the thickness y of the polarization conversion layer is less than 0.5 ⁇ m, the film thickness is too thin, causing inconveniences such as inability to obtain sufficient optical rotation and birefringence. If the thickness y of the polarization conversion layer exceeds 3.0 ⁇ m, the optical rotation and birefringence will be excessive, making it impossible to obtain the desired circularly polarized light, and poor orientation will easily occur, which is unfavorable for production, and other inconveniences will arise.
- the relationship (c) is "3000 ⁇ (1560 ⁇ y)/x ⁇ 50000". If “(1560 x y)/x" is less than 3000, the optical rotation is excessive, and there arises a problem that the desired polarization cannot be obtained. If “(1560 x y)/x” exceeds 50,000, the optical rotation is insufficient, causing inconvenience such as the inability to obtain the desired polarized light.
- the pitch number x of the spiral structure of the polarization conversion layer is more preferably 0.1 to 0.8, and the film thickness y is more preferably 0.6 ⁇ m to 2.6 ⁇ m.
- "(1560 ⁇ y)/x" is more preferably 5000 to 13000.
- the polarization conversion layer has a long pitch P of the helical structure and a small pitch number x. Specifically, it is preferable that the polarization conversion layer has a helical pitch P equivalent to the pitch P of a cholesteric liquid crystal layer having a selective reflection central wavelength in the long infrared wavelength range, and a small pitch number x. More specifically, it is preferable that the polarization conversion layer has a helical pitch P equivalent to the pitch P of a cholesteric liquid crystal layer having a selective reflection central wavelength of 3000 to 10000 nm, and a small pitch number x. In such a polarization conversion layer, the selective reflection central wavelength corresponding to the pitch P is much longer than the wavelength of visible light, and therefore the polarization conversion layer more suitably exhibits the optical rotation property and birefringence for visible light described above.
- Such a polarization conversion layer can basically be formed in the same way as a known cholesteric liquid crystal layer. However, when forming the polarization conversion layer, it is necessary to adjust the liquid crystal compound used, the chiral agent used, the amount of chiral agent added, the film thickness, etc. so that the pitch number x of the helical structure and the film thickness y [ ⁇ m] in the polarization conversion layer satisfy all of the relational expressions (a) to (c).
- a layer in which the helical orientation structure (helical structure) of a liquid crystal compound is fixed is a so-called cholesteric liquid crystal layer, which means a layer in which a cholesteric liquid crystal phase is fixed.
