Film, polarizing plate, and image display device

Abstract

An object of the present invention is to provide a film formed of a liquid crystal composition containing a leveling agent having a silicon atom, which has excellent adhesiveness to an adjacent layer. The film according to the embodiment of the present invention is a film formed of a liquid crystal composition containing a liquid crystal compound and a leveling agent containing a silicon atom, in which a binding energy of a peak top in an inner-shell photoelectron spectrum of Si2p obtained by measuring a surface of the film by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy is 102.0 eV or more, or a silicon atom to which four oxygen atoms are bonded is present on the surface of the film.
