Abstract

The present application relates to a polarizing plate and a display device. In the present application, a polarizing plate can be provided, which can be applied to a display device comprising a highly reflective panel to solve disadvantages while maintaining advantages of the device. In the present application, a display device comprising the polarizing plate and the highly reflective panel can also be provided.

Claims (26)

1. A polarizing plate applied to a display panel having a reflectance of 12% or more for light having a wavelength of 550 nm, and satisfying Equation 1 below:

1−0.187×exp(0.22× bs )≤ R (450)/ R (650)≤1−0.083×exp(0.38× bs )  [Equation 1]

wherein, bs is a single color of the polarizing plate, R (450) is a reflectance (unit:%) of the polarizing plate for light having a wavelength of 450 nm measured under a state where the polarizing plate is positioned on a reflective surface having a reflectance of 23% for light having a wavelength of 550 nm, and R (650) is a reflectance (unit:%) of the polarizing plate for light having a wavelength of 650 nm measured under a state where the polarizing plate is positioned on a reflective surface having a reflectance of 23% for light having a wavelength of 550 nm,

wherein the single color (bs) is in a range of 0.5 to 3.0, and

wherein the polarizing plate includes a polarizer comprising a PVA-based film and an anisotropic absorbent material adsorbed and oriented on the PVA-based film.

2. The polarizing plate according to claim 1 , wherein the polarizing plate has a single transmittance (Ts) in a range of 40% to 45%.

3. The polarizing plate according to claim 1 , further satisfying at least one condition of the following conditions 1 to 3:

Condition 1: a −a value of 2 or less in CIE Lab color space:

Condition 2: a ratio (−b/a) of −a value and b value of 2.5 or less in CIE Lab color space:

Condition 3: a −bc value of 0.05 to 40 in CIE Lab color space.

4. The polarizing plate according to claim 3 , satisfying at least two conditions of Conditions 1 to 3.

5. The polarizing plate according to claim 3 , satisfying all Conditions 1 to 3.

6. The polarizing plate according to claim 1 , wherein the polarizing plate has a light absorption axis formed in one direction and a transmittance (Tc) of 0.01% or less for linearly polarized light forming an angle in a range of −5 degrees to 5 degrees with the light absorption axis.

7. The polarizing plate according to claim 1 , wherein the polarizing plate has a polarization degree of 99.9% or more.

8. The polarizing plate according to claim 1 , wherein the polarizing plate has a light-blocking rate in a range of 5.1 to 6.0 for light having any one wavelength in a range of 560 nm to 750 nm.

9. The polarizing plate according to claim 1 , further comprising a polarizer protective film, a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, an adhesive layer, a retardation film or a low-reflection layer.

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

11. The display device according to claim 10 , further comprising a liquid crystal panel having a reflectance of 12% or more for light having a wavelength of 550 nm, wherein the polarizing plate is disposed on the viewing side of the liquid crystal panel.

12. The display device according to claim 10 , wherein a liquid crystal panel or color filter comprising no black matrix is not present on an upper substrate, the display device further comprises a liquid crystal panel present on a lower substrate and the polarizing plate is disposed on the viewing side of the liquid crystal panel.

13. The display device according to claim 11 , further comprising a second polarizing plate disposed on the back side of the liquid crystal panel.

14. The display device according to claim 13 , wherein the second polarizing plate has a light-blocking rate in a range of 4 to 6 at any one wavelength in a range of 380 nm to 520 nm.

15. A polarizing plate applied to the viewing side of a liquid crystal panel having a reflectance of 12% or more for light having a wavelength of 550 nm, the polarizing plate satisfying Equation 1 below:

1−0.187×exp(0.22× bs )≤ R (450)/ R (650)≤1−0.083×exp(0.38× bs )  [Equation 1]

wherein, bs is a single color of the polarizing plate, R (450) is a reflectance (unit:%) of the polarizing plate for light having a wavelength of 450 nm measured under a state where the polarizing plate is positioned on a reflective surface having a reflectance of 23% for light having a wavelength of 550 nm, and R (650) is a reflectance (unit:%) of the polarizing plate for light having a wavelength of 650 nm measured under a state where the polarizing plate is positioned on a reflective surface having a reflectance of 23% for light having a wavelength of 550 nm,
