Method for manufacturing nearly-natural black polarizing plate and polarizing plate manufactured thereby
The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a polarizing plate, the method comprising the sequential steps of: preparing a polarizing element comprising a polyvinyl alcohol-based polarizer dyed with any one or more of iodine and a dichroic dye; irradiating the polarizing element with light having a specific wavelength selected from a wavelength range of 200 nm to 800 nm; and moistening the polarizing element, and to a polarizing plate manufactured by the method.
1. A method for manufacturing a polarizing plate, the method comprising the sequential steps of:
preparing a polarizing element comprising a polyvinyl alcohol-based polarizer dyed with any one or more of iodine and a dichroic dye;
decomposing the iodine and/or dichroic dye by irradiating the polarizing element with light having a specific wavelength selected from a wavelength range of 400 nm to 750 nm; and
recombining some of the decomposed iodine and/or dichroic dye by moistening the polarizing element,
wherein the step of irradiating the polarizing element with light is performed at an intensity of 0.5-550 J/cm 2 , and
wherein the step of moistening the polarizing element is performed by storing the polarizing element at a temperature of 40° C. to 70° C. and a relative humidity of 90% or more for 10 minutes to 3 hours.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the step of irradiating the polarizing element with light is be performed using a light-emitting diode (LED) lamp or a laser lamp.
