Abstract: A rotary connector apparatus includes a stator, a rotator, and an adjustment structure. The stator is configured to be attached to a vehicle body. The rotator is provided rotatably about a rotation axis with respect to the stator. The stator and the rotator define a cable housing space provided to surround the rotation axis. The adjustment structure is configured to allow the rotation axis to move with respect to the vehicle body in a state where the stator is attached to the vehicle body. The adjustment structure includes a coupling structure configured to couple the stator to the vehicle body. The coupling structure supports the stator movably with respect to the vehicle body to change an angle of the rotation axis with respect to the vehicle body in a state where the coupling structure couples the stator to the vehicle body.

Abstract: The invention provides a retardation film, composed primarily of an acrylic polymer, with transparency, heat resistance, and large retardation. The retardation film of the present invention is composed primarily of an acrylic polymer. The film has an in-plane retardation of from 130 nm to 500 nm, inclusive, per 100 ?m thickness at a wavelength of 589 nm. The film has a total light transmittance of not less than 85%. The retardation film has a glass transition temperature of preferably from 110° C. to 200° C., inclusive. The acrylic polymer, which is the primary component, preferably has a lactone ring structure.

Abstract: A novel optical film is provided that exhibits a wavelength dispersion (a reverse wavelength dispersion) such that the birefringence of the film decreases as the wavelength becomes shorter, at least in the visible light range. The optical film includes a layer formed of a resin (A) having a heteroaromatic group or a molecular structure represented by the following formula (1), (2) or (3): where in the formula (1), n is a natural number in the range of 1 to 4, and R1 and R2 each independently represent a hydrogen atom or a methyl group. The optical film exhibits a wavelength dispersion such that the birefringence of the film decreases as the wavelength becomes shorter, at least in the visible light range.
