An optical film that can achieve an intended retardation value suitable for a VA type liquid crystal display while decreasing the Rt fluctuation due to humidity is provided.
An optical film, containing cellulose ester and cellulose ether, in which the cellulose ester satisfies formulae (1), and (2):
2.0≦
X+Y
≦3.0 (1)
0≦
Y
≦1.6 (2)
(in which X is an acetyl group, and Y is a propionyl group and/or a butyryl group); a mixing ratio of the cellulose ester and the cellulose ether (cellulose ester:cellulose ether) is 99.0:1.0 to 55.0:45.0 (mass ratio); and retardations Ro, and Rt expressed in formulae (3), and (4):
Ro
=(
nx−ny
)×
d
(3)
Rt
=(
nx+ny
)/(2−
nz
)}×
d
(4)
(in which nx is an in-plane refractive index of a film in a slow axis direction, ny is an in-plane refractive index of a film in a fast axis direction, nz is a refractive index of a film in a thickness direction, and d is a thickness (nm) of a film) are 20 to 130 nm, and 100 to 300 nm, respectively.
