Liquid crystal member and polarizing lens

Abstract

Provided are a liquid crystal member and a polarizing lens, that can obtain desired optical characteristics in a liquid crystal member including a liquid crystal layer having a concave-convex surface. The liquid crystal member includes a liquid crystal layer in which a liquid crystal composition which contains a liquid crystal compound having a polymerizable group and a polymerization initiator is immobilized in an aligned state, in which the liquid crystal compound has magnetic susceptibility anisotropy, at least one main surface of two main surfaces of the liquid crystal layer at both ends in a thickness direction is a non-flat surface having any of a concave shape, a convex shape, or a concave-convex shape, and slow axes of the liquid crystal compound present in a region in a vicinity of each of the two main surfaces are parallel to each other.
