Method for detecting adhesive agent leak from polarizing plate and method of quantifying degree of leakage
A method of quantifying whether an adhesive agent leaks from a polarizing plate and/or a degree of leakage of the adhesive agent according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, including: (a) preparing a polarizing plate including an adhesive layer; (b) providing the polarizing plate so that one end of the polarizing plate adjoins a guide unit; (c) moving the polarizing plate on the guide unit; (d) measuring frictional force applied between the polarizing plate and the guide unit while moving the polarizing plate; (e) deriving a determination criterion based on the measured value of the frictional force, and (f) determining whether the adhesive agent leaks from the polarizing plate and/or the degree of leakage of the adhesive agent based on the determination criterion.
1. A method of quantifying whether an adhesive agent leaks from a polarizing plate and/or a degree of leakage of the adhesive agent, the method comprising:
(a) preparing a polarizing plate including an adhesive layer;
(b) providing the polarizing plate so that one end of the polarizing plate adjoins a guide unit;
(c) moving the polarizing plate on the guide unit;
(d) measuring frictional force applied between the polarizing plate and the guide unit while moving the polarizing plate;
(e) deriving a determination criterion based on the measured value of the frictional force, and
(f) determining whether the adhesive agent leaks from the polarizing plate and/or the degree of leakage of the adhesive agent based on the determination criterion.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein step (a) includes selecting and preparing at least one of a plurality of polarizing plates having different angles formed between any one of both surfaces of the at least one polarizing plate and a cut surface of the at least one polarizing plate.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein step (b) includes adjusting a size of a curl formed at one end of the at least one polarizing plate.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein a protective film layer is positioned on a first surface of the at least one polarizing plate, and a release film layer is positioned on a second surface of the at least one polarizing plate wherein the second surface is opposite to the first surface.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein step (c) moves the at least one polarizing plate in a first direction toward which aa first surface of the at least one polarizing plate is directed or a second direction toward which a second surface of the at least one polarizing plate is directed, wherein the second surface is opposite to the first surface.
6. The method of claim 5 , wherein step (e) includes calculating a difference between a value of the frictional force measured while the polarizing plate moves in the first direction and a value of the frictional force measured while the polarizing plate moves in the second direction.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein step (e) includes checking whether the adhesive agent leaks from the polarizing plate onto the guide unit, and deriving the determination criterion if the adhesive agent has leaked based on the measured value of the frictional force.
