Abstract

There is provided a method of producing a polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) film polarizer having an excellent durability, the method comprising dyeing, cross-linking, stretching, and drying, wherein additives containing phosphorus is inputted into one or more of the dyeing, the cross-linking, and the stretching. In this case, the additives containing phosphorus may be selected from a group consisting of a phosphoric acid, potassium phosphate monobasic, potassium phosphate dibasic, magnesium phosphate dibasic, sodium phosphate monobasic, and ammonium phosphate monobasic. An amount of the additives containing phosphorus in an added solution may be 0.01 to 15 wt %. As described above, when inputting the additives containing phosphorus while producing a polarizer, cross-linking between iodine and a polymer matrix becomes strong due to the phosphorus contained in the additives, thereby producing a polarizer having an excellent durability, and particularly, an excellent thermal stability.

Claims (11)

1. A method of producing a polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) film polarizer having an excellent durability, the method comprising dyeing, cross-linking, stretching, and drying a polyvinyl alcohol film,

wherein additives containing phosphorus, which are selected from the group consisting of phosphoric acid, potassium phosphate monobasic, potassium phosphate dibasic, magnesium phosphate dibasic, sodium phosphate monobasic, and ammonium phosphate monobasic, are inputted into one or more of the dyeing, the cross-linking, and the stretching of the polyvinyl alcohol film and are inputted into an aqueous iodide solution or an aqueous potassium iodide solution in the dyeing and/or an aqueous boric acid solution in the cross-linking; and

wherein the additives containing phosphorus crosslink with a polymer matrix in the polyvinyl alcohol film to remain in the polarizer.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein an amount of the additives containing phosphorus in an added solution is 0.01 to 15 wt % based on the total weight of the added solution.

3. A PVA film polarizer having an excellent durability, the PVA film polarizer produced by using the method according to any one of claims 1 and 2 .

4. A method of producing a PVA film polarizing plate having an excellent durability, the method comprising: dyeing, cross-linking, stretching, and drying a polyvinyl alcohol film, and attaching a protection film to the polyvinyl alcohol film,

wherein additives containing phosphorus, which are selected from the group consisting of phosphoric acid, potassium phosphate monobasic, potassium phosphate dibasic, magnesium phosphate dibasic, sodium phosphate monobasic, and ammonium phosphate monobasic, are inputted into one or more of the dyeing, the cross-linking, and the stretching of the polyvinyl alcohol film and are inputted into an aqueous iodide solution or an aqueous potassium iodide solution in the dyeing and/or an aqueous boric acid solution in the cross-linking; and

wherein the additives containing phosphorus crosslink with a polymer matrix in the polyvinyl alcohol film to remain in the polarizer.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein an amount of the additives containing phosphorus in an added solution is 0.01 to 15 wt % based on the total weight of the added solution.

6. The method of claim 4 , wherein the protection film is selected from the group consisting of an acetate-based resin film, a polyester-based resin film, a polyethersulfone-based resin film, a polycarbonate-based resin film, a polyamide-based resin film, a polyimide-based resin film, and a polyolefin-based resin film.

7. A PVA film polarizing plate with an excellent durability, the PVA film polarizing plate produced by using the method according to any one of claims 4 , 5 , and 6 .
