What is claimed is: 1. An optical film used in a display apparatus including a polarizer, wherein Re is greater than 3,000 nm to 30,000 nm, and Rth is −30,000 nm to −1,000 nm, and Re is retardation in an in-plane direction and Rth is retardation in a thickness direction. 2. The optical film according to claim 1 , wherein a thickness of the optical film is 10 μm to 500 μm. 3. The optical film according to claim 1 , wherein an equilibrium moisture content of the optical film at 25° C. and relative humidity of 60% is less than or equal to 0.1 wt %. 4. The optical film according to claim 1 , wherein a distortion temperature under load of the optical film is higher than or equal to 105° C. 5. The optical film according to claim 1 , wherein the optical film is a polystyrene-based film. 6. The optical film according to claim 5 , wherein the polystyrene-based film contains crystalline polystyrene. 7. The optical film according to claim 5 , wherein the polystyrene-based film has a syndiotactic structure. 8. A polarization plate, comprising: the optical film according to claim 1 ; and a polarizer. 9. A transparent conductive film, comprising: the optical film according to claim 1 ; and a conductive layer. 10. A surface protection film using the optical film according to claim 1 . 11. A liquid crystal display apparatus using the optical film according to claim 1 . 12. The optical film according to claim 1 , wherein the Re is 4,200 nm to 30,000 nm.
