Abstract

The present disclosure provides a polarizing plate comprising: a polarizer; an optical laminate formed on one side of the polarizer and containing a polymer substrate and an antiglare layer; and a thermoplastic resin layer formed on the other side of the polarizer and containing a (meth)acrylate resin, and a liquid crystal panel and a display device including the polarizing plate.

Claims (29)

1. A polarizing plate comprising:

a polarizer;

an optical laminate formed on one side of the polarizer and containing a polymer substrate and an antiglare layer; and

a thermoplastic resin layer formed on the other side of the polarizer and containing a (meth)acrylate resin,

wherein the polymer substrate contains a polymer resin and rubber particles having a cross-sectional diameter of 10 to 500 nm dispersed in the polymer resin,

wherein the antiglare layer contains a binder resin and organic fine particles or inorganic fine particles dispersed in the binder resin,

wherein fine protrusions having a diameter of at least 100 μm formed by aggregating the organic fine particles or inorganic fine particles are present on an outer surface of the antiglare layer and a ratio of the number of the fine protrusions on the outer surface of the antiglare layer is 50/m 2 or less, and

wherein the rubber particles having a cross-sectional diameter of 10 to 500 nm exist in the antiglare layer only within 75% of the thickness of the antiglare layer from an interface between the polymer substrate and the antiglare layer such that the rubber particles having a cross-sectional diameter of 10 to 500 nm are not exposed to an outer surface of the antiglare layer.

2. The polarizing plate of claim 1 , wherein a diameter of the fine protrusions formed by aggregating the organic fine particles or the inorganic fine particles is 100 μm to 300 μm.

3. The polarizing plate of claim 1 , wherein a ratio of the area of a region where the fine protrusions are located on the surface of the antiglare layer as defined by general formula 1 is 0.5 area % or less,

Ratio of the area of a region where the fine protrusions are located on a surface of the antiglare layer=(the number of fine protrusions*the area of a circle having a diameter of 5 mm)/the area of the surface of the antiglare layer (mm 2 )  [General Formula 1]

in the general formula 1, the “circle having a diameter of 5 mm” is defined as the region where the fine protrusions are located.

4. The polarizing plate of claim 1 , wherein the rubber particles having a cross-sectional diameter of 10 to 500 nm exist in the antiglare layer only within 50% of the thickness of the antiglare layer from an interface between the polymer substrate and the antiglare layer such that the rubber particles having a cross-sectional diameter of 10 to 500 nm are not exposed to an outer surface of the antiglare layer.

5. The polarizing plate of claim 1 , wherein the polymer resin includes at least one resin selected from a (meth)acrylate resin, a cellulose resin, a polyolefin resin, and a polyester resin.

6. The polarizing plate of claim 4 ,

wherein

the rubber particles having a cross-sectional diameter of 10 to 500 nm contained in the polymer substrate are rubber particles of the same components.

7. The polarizing plate of claim 1 , wherein the rubber particles include at least one rubber selected from styrene-based rubber, butadiene-based rubber, styrene-butadiene-based rubber and acrylic-based rubber.

8. The polarizing plate of claim 1 , wherein the polymer substrate has a thickness of 10 to 150 μm, and the antiglare layer has a thickness of 1 to 10 μm.

9. The polarizing plate of claim 1 , wherein a ratio of the thickness of the antiglare layer to the thickness of the polymer substrate is 0.008 to 0.8.

10. The polarizing plate of claim 1 , wherein the thermoplastic resin layer has a thickness of 10 μm to 80 μm.

11. The polarizing plate of claim 1 , wherein a ratio of the thickness of the thermoplastic resin layer to the thickness of the polymer substrate is 0.3 to 2.0.

12. The polarizing plate of claim 1 , wherein the polymer substrate includes 5 to 50 parts by weight of the rubber particles having a cross-sectional diameter of 10 to 500 nm relative to 100 parts by weight of the binder resin.

13. The polarizing plate of claim 1 , wherein the antiglare layer includes 1 to 10 parts by weight of the organic fine particles or the inorganic fine particles relative to 100 parts by weight of the binder resin.

14. The polarizing plate of claim 1 , wherein a moisture permeation amount of the polymer substrate measured for 24 hours under the condition of 40° C. and 100% humidity is 150 g/m 2 or less.

15. A display device comprising the polarizing plate of claim 1 .

16. The polarizing plate of claim 6 , wherein the rubber particles include at least one rubber selected from styrene-based rubber, butadiene-based rubber, styrene-butadiene-based rubber and acrylic-based rubber.

17. The polarizing plate of claim 8 , wherein the thermoplastic resin layer has a thickness of 10 μm to 80 μm.

18. The polarizing plate of claim 10 , wherein a ratio of the thickness of the thermoplastic resin layer to the thickness of the polymer substrate is 0.3 to 2.0.
