Optical laminate and method of producing the optical laminate

An optical laminate comprising:

• at least a first region and a second region having different values of visibility correction transmittance;
• and
• a first protective layer having a thickness of 0.1 μm or more and 3 μm or less, an orientation layer, a light absorption anisotropic layer, and a second protective layer which is formed from a composition containing a vinyl alcohol-based polymer, and having a thickness of 0.1 μm or more and 3 μm or less provided in this order,
• wherein the first region has a periodic structure of molecular orientation,
• wherein the second region is a region in which the visibility correction transmittance is higher than that of the first region,
• wherein a difference in thicknesses between the first region and the second region is 2 μm or less,
• wherein a visibility correction transmittance in the first region is 35% or more,
• wherein a visibility correction transmittance in the second region is 87% or more,
• wherein the optical laminate does not include a base material layer on the side of the first protective layer opposite to the orientation layer, and
• the light absorption anisotropic layer is a layer including a liquid crystal composition containing a dichroic dye, and includes the first region and the second region.
