1. An optical resin film, which has Re (λ) and Rth (λ) satisfying retardation requirements (A) to (D), and has a thickness of from 30 μm to 80 μm:
(A) 0.1<Re (450)/Re (550)<0.95
(B) 1.03<Re (650)/Re (550)<1.93
(C) 0.4<(Re/Rth (450))/(Re/Rth (550)))<0.95
(D) 1.05<(Re/Rth (650)/(Re/Rth (550))<1.9
wherein Re (λ) represents an in-plane retardation value of the optical resin film with respect to light having a wavelength of λ nm;
Rth (λ) represents a thickness direction retardation value of the optical resin film with respect to light having a wavelength of λ nm; and
Re/Rth (λ) represents a ratio of an in-plane retardation value to a thickness direction retardation value of the optical resin film with respect to light having a wavelength of λ nm (unit: nm).
