The optical film comprises a copolycarbonate composed of 25 to 90 mol % of unit (A) of the following formula,
wherein each of R
1
and R
2
is independently a hydrogen atom, a hydrocarbon group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms or a halogen atom, each of R
3
and R
4
is independently a hydrocarbon group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms, each of m and n is independently an integer of 0 to 4, and each of p and q is independently an integer of 0 or more,
and 10 to 75 mol % of unit (B) of the following formula,
wherein R
a
is a monocyclic or polycyclic alicyclic hydrocarbon group having 4 to 20 carbon atoms, the alicyclic hydrocarbon group may contain a hetero atom or may have a bridge structure, and q is 0 or 1,
the optical film satisfying the following expression (1),
R
(450)<
R
(550)<
R
(650) (1)
wherein R(450), R(550) and R(650) are in-plane retardation values of the film at wavelengths of 450 nm, 550 nm and 650 nm.
