Abstract: Provided is a self-supporting film that has an anti-reflection function independently, so that the self-supporting film exhibits excellent optical characteristics as a result. A self-supporting film has a rugged-structure layer having periodic rugged shapes formed on a surface thereof, with these periodic rugged shapes being formed on at least one surface. The average thickness of the self-supporting film ranges from 0.2 ?m to 20.0 ?m. The rugged-structure layer has a yield strain of 1% or greater and a tensile elongation of 10% or greater.

Abstract: A dielectric layer 2 is formed on a region including grid-shaped convex portions 1a of a resin substrate 1 having the grid-shaped convex portions 1a with pitches of 80 nm to 120 nm on its surface, and metal wires 3 are formed on the dielectric layer 2. It is thereby possible to obtain a wire grid polarizer having a microstructural concavo-convex grid with pitches of the level of 120 nm or less that has not been implemented.

Abstract: A wire grid polarizer has mainly a resin substrate 1 having grid-shaped convex portions 1a, a dielectric layer 2 provided to cover the grid-shaped convex portions 1a of the resin substrate 1 and at least part of side faces 1b of the portions, and metal wires 3 provided on the dielectric layer. The wire grid polarizer has a microstructural concavo-convex grid structure having grid-shaped convex portions, is not limited in structure, and has both the excellent degree of polarization and excellent transmittance over a wide range in the visible region.
