Optical laminate and image display device

An optical laminate comprising:

• a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 1;
• a specific laminate including an alignment layer and an optically anisotropic layer which are adjacent to each other;
• and
• a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 2 in this order,
• wherein the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 1 is adjacent to one surface of the specific laminate, and the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 2 is adjacent to the other surface of the specific laminate,
• the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 1, the alignment layer, the optically anisotropic layer, and the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 2 are provided in this order, or the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 1, the optically anisotropic layer, the alignment layer, and the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 2 are provided in this order,
• the specific laminate has a thickness of 15 μm or less,
• the optically anisotropic layer has a thickness of 5 μm or less, and
• a thickness d of the alignment layer and an elastic modulus E of the alignment layer satisfy Expression (1), where the thickness d of the alignment layer is denoted in units of μm, and the elastic modulus E of the alignment layer is denoted in units of GPa,
