First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. An optical filter for anti-reflection comprising:
a polarizer having an absorption axis formed in one direction, an optical compensation layer, a first retardation film having an Nz value of 0.8 to 1.2 according to Equation 1, and having an in-plane slow axis forming 43 degrees to 47 degrees with the absorption axis of said polarizer, wherein said optical compensation layer comprises a third retardation film having an Nz value of −4.0 or less according to Equation 1 or satisfying Equation 2;
a second retardation film having an Nz value of −4.0 or less in Equation 1;
wherein each of the second retardation film and the third retardation film is a C plate and has a thickness-direction retardation value of 0 nm to 200 nm; satisfying Equation 2, in sequence:
Nz =( nx−nz )/( nx−ny )  Equation 1:

nx=ny<nz   Equation 2:

wherein, nx, ny, and nz are refractive indexes in the x-axis, y-axis and z-axis directions of the retardation film, the x-axis is a direction parallel to the in-plane slow axis of the retardation film, the y-axis is a direction parallel to an in-plane fast axis of the retardation film, and the z-axis is a thickness direction of the retardation film.

2. The optical filter according to claim 1 , wherein said optical compensation layer further comprises a fourth retardation film having an Nz value of 0.8 to 1.2 according to Equation 1 and having an in-plane slow axis parallel or orthogonal to the absorption axis of said polarizer.

3. The optical filter according to claim 2 , wherein said third retardation film is closer to the polarizer than said fourth retardation film, and the in-plane slow axis of said fourth retardation film is parallel to the absorption axis of said polarizer.

4. The optical filter according to claim 2 , wherein said fourth retardation film is closer to the polarizer than said third retardation film, and the in-plane slow axis of said fourth retardation film is orthogonal to the absorption axis of said polarizer.

5. The optical filter according to claim 2 , wherein said fourth retardation film is closer to the polarizer than said third retardation film, and the in-plane slow axis of said fourth retardation film is parallel to the absorption axis of said polarizer.

6. The optical filter according to claim 2 , wherein said third retardation film is closer to the polarizer than said fourth retardation film, and the in-plane slow axis of said fourth retardation film is orthogonal to the absorption axis of said polarizer.

7. The optical filter according to claim 1 , wherein the second retardation film and the third retardation film have each an R (450)/R (550) value of 0.7 to 1.3, and R (λ) means a thickness-direction retardation of the retardation film for light of λ nm.

8. The optical filter according to claim 2 , wherein said fourth retardation film has an R (450)/R (550) value of 0.7 to 1.3, and R (λ) means an in-plane retardation of the retardation film for light of λ nm.

9. The optical filter according to claim 1 , wherein said first retardation film has an in-plane retardation of 130 nm to 150 nm for light having a wavelength of 550 nm.

10. The optical filter according to claim 1 , wherein said first retardation film has an R (450)/R (550) of 0.60 to 0.92, and R (λ) means an in-plane retardation of the retardation film for light of λ nm.

11. The optical filter according to claim 1 , wherein said second retardation film has the Nz value in Equation 1 of −4.0 or less.

12. The optical filter according to claim 1 , wherein said third retardation film has the Nz value in Equation 1 of −4.0 or less.

13. The optical filter according to claim 2 , wherein said fourth retardation film has an in-plane retardation of 0 nm to 180 nm for light having a wavelength of 550 nm.

14. An organic light-emitting device comprising the optical filter of claim 1 and an organic light-emitting display panel.

15. The organic light-emitting device according to claim 14 , wherein the first retardation film of the optical filter is disposed adjacent to the organic light-emitting display panel as compared with the polarizer.
