Multilayer optical compensation film having reversed wavelength dispersion

A multilayer optical compensation film comprising,

• a first layer comprising a positive C-plate material and
• a second layer comprising a polyimide,
• wherein said multilayer optical compensation film has positive out-of-plane retardations that satisfy the relations of 0.7<R(450)/R(550)<1 and 1<R(650)/R(550)<1.25, wherein R(450), R(550), and R(650) are out-of-plane retardations at the light wavelengths of 450 nm, 550 nm, and 650 nm respectively, and wherein said positive C-plate material is a material capable of providing a positive out-of-plane birefringence of greater than 0.015 throughout a light wavelength range of from 400 nm to 800 nm.
