Abstract

Provided are a polarizing plate and a display device comprising the same, the polarizing plate comprising: a polarizing film; a polarizing film protection film arranged on at least one surface of the polarizing film; an adhesive layer interposed between the polarizing film and the polarizing film protection film; and a printing layer impregnated in the adhesive layer and formed on at least part of the edge of the adhesive layer, wherein a curve ensuring portion is formed on at least one surface of the printing layer.

Claims (29)

1. A polarizing plate comprising:

a polarizing film;

a protective film for polarizing film disposed on at least one surface of the polarizing film;

a bonding layer interposed between the polarizing film and the protective film for polarizing film; and

a printed layer formed on at least part of a first edge of the bonding layer and having a curve securing portion formed on a surface of the printed layer, the first edge of the bonding layer being an outermost edge of the bonding layer facing in a first lateral direction that crosses a thickness direction of the bonding layer, wherein, in a cross-sectional plane extending in the thickness direction, a first portion of the printed layer overlaps and is entirely outside the first edge of the bonding layer in the first lateral direction, and a width of the curve securing portion formed in the first portion of the printed layer is in a range from 30% or more to less than 100% of a width of the first portion of the printed layer, the curve securing portion has a height of 0.1 μm to 4 μm and the curve securing portion has the width of 100 μm to 3000 μm.

2. The polarizing plate according to claim 1 , wherein the printed layer is directly disposed on the protective film for polarizing film.

3. The polarizing plate according to claim 2 , wherein the curve securing portion is formed on the surface of the printed layer to face the protective film for polarizing film.

4. The polarizing plate according to claim 1 , wherein the printed layer has the same or smaller thickness than the bonding layer.

5. The polarizing plate according to claim 1 , wherein the curve securing portion is formed in an engraved pattern having a predetermined cross-sectional shape.

6. The polarizing plate according to claim 5 , wherein the engraved pattern has an n-gonal shape composed of n planes, or has a curved surface on at least one surface thereof.

7. The polarizing plate according to claim 1 , wherein the curve securing portion is formed below one surface of the printed layer.

8. The polarizing plate according to claim 1 , wherein the printed layer is formed to contact one surface of the bonding layer while surrounding a periphery of the bonding layer.

9. The polarizing plate according to claim 1 , wherein the printed layer is formed of a composition including a pigment, a binder resin, and an initiator.

10. The polarizing plate according to claim 9 , wherein the pigment comprises carbon black, a mixed pigment of silver-tin alloys, or a combination thereof.

11. The polarizing plate according to claim 9 , wherein the initiator comprises at least one or more of a photo-curable initiator and a heat-curable initiator.

12. The polarizing plate according to claim 9 , wherein the composition further including a reactive unsaturated compound.

13. An optical display device comprising the polarizing plate according to claim 1 .

14. A polarizing plate comprising:

a polarizing film;

an optically transparent protective film for polarizing film disposed on at least one surface of the polarizing film;

a bonding layer interposed between the polarizing film and the optically transparent protective film for polarizing film; and

a printed layer formed on at least part of a first edge of the bonding layer and having a curve securing portion formed on a surface of the printed layer, the first edge of the bonding layer facing outward in a first lateral direction that crosses a thickness direction of the bonding layer, wherein, in a cross-sectional plane extending in the thickness direction, a first portion of the printed layer overlaps and is entirely outside the first edge of the bonding layer in the first lateral direction, and a width of the curve securing portion formed in the first portion of the printed layer is in a range from 30% or more to less than 100% of a width of the first portion of the printed layer, the curve securing portion has a height of 0.1 μm to 4 μm and the curve securing portion has the width of 100 μm to 3000 μm,

wherein the curve securing portion has the same height as the printed layer so as to expose the optically transparent protective film for polarizing film.

15. A polarizing plate comprising:

a polarizing film;

a protective film for polarizing film disposed on at least one surface of the polarizing film;

a bonding layer interposed between the polarizing film and the protective film for polarizing film; and

a printed layer formed on at least part of a first edge of the bonding layer and having a curve securing portion formed on a surface of the printed layer, the first edge of the bonding layer facing outward in a first lateral direction that crosses a thickness direction of the bonding layer, wherein, in a cross-sectional plane extending in the thickness direction, a first portion of the printed layer overlaps and is entirely outside the first edge of the bonding layer in the first lateral direction, a lengthwise direction of the curve securing portion being the same as that of the first edge, and a width of the curve securing portion formed in the first portion of the printed layer is in a range from 30% or more to less than 100% of a width of the first portion of the printed layer, the curve securing portion has a height of 0.1 μm to 4 μm and the curve securing portion has the width of 100 μm to 3000 μm,

wherein the curve securing portion has an engraved pattern having a side open to an outer surface or an inner surface of the printed layer, the inner surface being adjacent to the edge of the bonding layer along the lateral direction, and the outer surface being distal from the edge of the bonding layer along the lateral direction.
