A light absorption anisotropic film in which occurrence of ghost is suppressed in a case of being applied to a pancake lens-type virtual reality display apparatus. The light absorption anisotropic film of the present invention is a light absorption anisotropic film having a curved surface portion, in which a transmittance measured by a predetermined procedure satisfies the expression T.sub.1=|T.sub.11T.sub.12|2.5% (1).
