Laminate having optical anisotropy

Abstract

Provided is an optically anisotropic body having good coatability onto a laminate, in which the laminate includes an optically anisotropic layer formed of a composition including a liquid crystal compound by direct coating, and an isotropic resin layer formed on the optically anisotropic layer by direct coating, and has good coatability onto the isotropic resin layer. The laminate includes an optically anisotropic layer and an isotropic resin layer formed of a resin composition directly coated on the optically anisotropic layer, in which the optically anisotropic layer is a layer formed by curing a liquid crystal composition including a liquid crystal compound containing a polymerizable group; the isotropic resin layer is the outermost layer of the laminate; and the surface energy on the side of the isotropic resin layer of the laminate is 34.0 mN/m or more.
