Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a polarizing plate including: a polarizer, and a first hard coating layer having a thickness of 10 um or less and an anti-reflection film which are positioned so as to face each other around the polarizer, wherein the anti-reflection film includes a light-transmitting substrate and a second hard coating layer, and wherein a ratio (a/b) of a transmittance (a) at a wavelength of 400 nm of the second hard coating layer to the transmittance (b) at a wavelength of 500 nm of the second hard coating layer is 0.95 or less, or 0.85 to 0.95.
