The present invention is related to a method of method of manufacture of a
reflective polarizing film that can improve brightness of a liquid
crystal display device remarkably by making a liquid crystal film that
can cover visible light by using cholesteric liquid crystal layers having
different selective light-reflection central wavelengths, attaching a
quarter wave (1/4 .lamda.) retardation film on top of the liquid crystal
film, and adding prism patterns to the opposite side of the liquid
crystal film. The reflective polarizing film of the present invention is
characterized by that two or more cholesteric liquid crystal layers
having different selective reflection wavelength regions are laminated in
order from a shorter wavelength to a longer wavelength, and brightness of
a liquid crystal display device is maximized owing to an integrated film
manufactured by attaching a 1/4 .lamda. retardation film onto cholesteric
liquid crystal layers and forming prism patterns onto the opposite side.
