polymeric liquid crystalline substance obtained by homopolymerizing the
(meth)acrylic portion of a (meth)acrylic compound having an oxetanyl
group represented by formula (1) below or copolymerizing the same with
another (meth)acrylic compound and a difunctional low molecular weight
liquid crystalline substance having two oxetanyl groups represented by
