Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a mask film used for manufacturing a polarizing plate having a locally bleached area, and a polarizing plate manufactured using the same.

Claims (20)

1. A mask film comprising:

a protective film;

an adhesive layer disposed on one surface of the protective film; and

a perforated portion integrally passing through the protective film and the adhesive layer,

wherein the adhesive layer comprises an adhesive including two different types of acryl-based copolymer resins,

wherein the adhesive layer comprises a first acryl-based copolymer resin, a second acryl-based copolymer resin and a crosslinking agent,

wherein the first acryl-based copolymer resin comprises alkyl (meth)acrylate, hydroxyalkyl (meth)acrylate and (meth)acrylic acid,

wherein the second acryl-based copolymer resin comprises alkyl (meth)acrylate, hydroxyalkyl (meth)acrylate, (meth)acrylic acid and polyalkyl (meth)acrylate,

wherein a content of the first acryl-based copolymer resin is 6 parts by weight to 12 parts by weight, based on 1 part by weight of the second acryl-based copolymer resin,

wherein a thickness (a) of the protective film and a thickness (b) of the adhesive layer have a ratio (a/b) of 1 to 30;

wherein a modulus (c) of the protective film and a modulus (d) of the adhesive of the adhesive layer have a ratio (c/d) of 200 to 17,000, and

wherein the perforated portion of the mask film has an edge roughness of 30 μm or less.

2. The mask film of claim 1 , further comprising a release film detachably attached to the adhesive layer.

3. The mask film of claim 2 , wherein the perforated portion integrally passes through the protective film, the adhesive layer and the release film.

4. A method for manufacturing a polarizing plate having a non-polarized portion, the method comprising:

laminating the mask film of claim 1 on one surface of a polarizer;

bleaching a part of the polarizer corresponding to the perforated portion of the mask film; and

removing the mask film,

wherein the non-polarized portion has an edge roughness of 30 μm or less.

5. The method for manufacturing a polarizing plate having a non-polarized portion of claim 4 , the method further comprising laminating a polarizer protective film on the surface from which the mask film is removed.
