Liquid crystal composition, optically anisotropic layer, laminate, and image display device

Abstract

An object of the present invention is to provide a liquid crystal composition capable of forming an optically anisotropic layer with suppressed alignment defects and an excellent alignment degree, an optically anisotropic layer, a laminate, and an image display device. The liquid crystal composition of the present invention includes a rod-like liquid crystal compound, and an interface improver having a repeating unit B1 represented by Formula (N-1) and a repeating unit B2 having a fluorine atom. In Formula (N-1), RB11 and RB12 each independently represent a hydrogen atom or a substituent, and RB13 represents a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group having 1 to 5 carbon atoms, a halogen atom, or a cyano group. Here, in a case where RB11 and RB12 represent a substituent, RB11 and RB12 may be linked to each other to form a ring.
