Abstract

The present invention relates to a polarizing plate including: a polarizer; a hard coating layer having a thickness of 10 μm or less formed on one surface side of the polarizer; and an optical laminate including a light-transmitting substrate formed on the other surface side of the polarizer.

Claims (34)

1. A polarizing plate comprising:

a polarizer;

a hard coating layer having a thickness of 10 μm or less formed on one surface side of the polarizer; and

an optical laminate including a light-transmitting substrate formed on the other surface side of the polarizer,

wherein the hard coating layer contacts the polarizer, and

wherein a ratio of a second heat shrinkage deformation value in a second direction of the optical laminate to a first heat shrinkage deformation value in a first direction of the optical laminate is 0.8 to 1.2 and wherein the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction, and

wherein each of the first heat shrinkage deformation value and the second heat shrinkage deformation value is a difference between an initial length of each of the first direction and the second direction of the optical laminate and a length value as measured after exposure of the optical laminate to a condition of a temperature of 100° C. to 120° C. for 80 to 120 hours.

2. The polarizing plate of claim 1 , wherein

the first direction of the optical laminate is a machine direction of the light-transmitting substrate, and

the second direction of the optical laminate is a transverse direction of the light-transmitting substrate.

3. The polarizing plate of claim 1 , wherein

the light-transmitting substrate has a thickness direction retardation (Rth) of 3,000 nm or more as measured at a wavelength of 400 nm to 800 nm.

4. The polarizing plate of claim 1 , wherein

the light-transmitting substrate has a moisture permeation amount of 100 g/m 2 or less as measured for 24 hours under a condition of 40° C. and 100% humidity.

5. The polarizing plate of claim 1 , wherein

a ratio of the thickness of the hard coating layer to the thickness of the light-transmitting substrate is 0.02 to 0.25.

6. The polarizing plate of claim 1 , wherein

the thickness of the polarizer plus the hard coating layer plus the light-transmitting substrate is 200 μm or less.

7. The polarizing plate of claim 1 , wherein

the hard coating layer includes a binder resin and organic or inorganic fine particles dispersed in the binder resin, the organic fine particles having a particle size of 0.5 μm to 10 μm, and the inorganic fine particles having a particle size of 1 nm to 500 nm.

8. The polarizing plate of claim 1 ,

further comprising a second hard coating layer having a thickness of 1 to 100 μm formed on one surface of the light-transmitting substrate opposite side against the polarizer.

9. The polarizing plate of claim 8 ,

further comprising a low-refractive index layer having a refractive index of 1.20 to 1.60 in the wavelength range of 380 nm to 780 nm formed on the other surface of the second hard coating layer.

10. The polarizing plate of claim 1 ,

further comprising an adhesive layer disposed between the polarizer and the light-transmitting substrate and having a thickness of 0.1 μm to 5 μm.

11. A liquid crystal panel comprising a liquid crystal cell and the polarizing plate of claim 1 formed on at least one surface of the liquid crystal cell.

12. The liquid crystal panel of claim 11 , wherein

the liquid crystal panel comprises two polarizing plates such that each of the two polarizing plates is formed on each of two surfaces of the liquid crystal cell, and

the two polarizing plates are positioned such that a MD direction of the polarizer of the polarizing plate formed on one surface side of the liquid crystal cell and a MD direction of the polarizer of the polarizing plate formed on the other surface are perpendicular to each other.

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

14. The polarizing plate of claim 1 , wherein

the first direction of the optical laminate is a machine direction of the light-transmitting substrate, and

the second direction of the optical laminate is a transverse direction of the light-transmitting substrate.
