Abstract

There is provided an optical laminate that significantly suppresses the warping of a liquid crystal panel and can realize high contrast. An optical laminate of the present invention includes: a polarizing film having a thickness of 10 μm or less; and a reflective polarization film. A liquid crystal panel of the present invention includes: a liquid crystal cell; and the optical laminate of the present invention. According to another aspect of the present invention, an optical laminate set is provided. The optical laminate set includes: a first optical laminate that is the optical laminate of the present invention as described above; and a second optical laminate including a polarizing film having a thickness larger than the thickness of the polarizing film of the first optical laminate by 5 μm or more.

Claims (26)

1. An optical laminate set, comprising:

a first optical laminate including a first polarizing film having a thickness of 10 μm or less; and a reflective polarization film; and

a second optical laminate including a second polarizing film having a thickness larger than the thickness of the first polarizing film of the first optical laminate by 5 micrometer or more;

wherein the second optical laminate is placeable on a viewer side of a liquid crystal panel and the first optical laminate is placeable on a side opposite to the viewer side.

2. The optical laminate set according to claim 1 , wherein the first polarizing film is obtained by transverse stretching.

3. A liquid crystal panel, comprising:

a liquid crystal cell; and

the optical laminate set according to claim 1 ;

wherein the second optical laminate of the optical laminate set is placed on a viewer side and the first optical laminate is placed on a side opposite to the viewer side.

4. The optical laminate set according to claim 1 , wherein the first polarizing film is bonded directly to the reflective polarizing film.

5. The optical laminate set according to claim 1 , wherein the first polarizing film is bonded to the reflective polarizing film via an adhesive layer.

6. The optical laminate set according to claim 1 , wherein the transmission axis of the first polarizing film is substantially parallel to the transmission axis of the reflective polarizing film.

7. The optical laminate set according to claim 1 , wherein the first polarizing film has a thickness of 1 μm to 7 μm.

8. The optical laminate set according to claim 7 , wherein the first polarizing film has a thickness of 1 μm to 5 μm.

9. The optical laminate set according to claim 1 , wherein the reflective polarizing film is a multilayer laminate comprising a layer A having a birefringence and a layer B substantially free of birefringence,

wherein the layer A and the layer B are alternately laminated.

10. The optical laminate set according to claim 1 , wherein the reflective polarizing film comprises a reflecting layer, which is the outermost layer and is formed opposite to the first polarizing film.

11. A liquid crystal panel, comprising:

a liquid crystal cell; and

the optical laminate set according to claim 10 .

12. The optical laminate set according to claim 1 , wherein the reflective polarizing film has a thickness of 50 μm to 600 μm.

13. The optical laminate set according to claim 1 , further comprising a protective film formed on a side of the second polarizing film.

14. The optical laminate set according to claim 13 , wherein the protective film has a thickness of 20 μm to 100 μm.

15. A liquid crystal panel, comprising:

a liquid crystal cell; and

the optical laminate set according to claim 13 .
