Abstract

Provided are a polarizer comprising a polyvinyl alcohol-based film and having an endothermic peak of 50° C. to 60° C. when measured by differential scanning calorimetry at a temperature increase rate of 10° C./min; a polarizing plate comprising a polarizer and a first protective film and a second protective film laminated on one surface and the other surface of the polarizer, respectively, and having an initial shrinkage initiation temperature greater than 70° C. and less than or equal to 90° C. during thermomechanical analysis; and an optical display device comprising same.

Claims (11)

1. A polarizer, comprising a polyvinyl alcohol based film, and having an endothermic peak of 50° C. to 60° C., as measured at a temperature elevation rate of 10° C./min by differential scanning calorimetry.

2. The polarizer according to claim 1 , wherein the polyvinyl alcohol based film contains both a hydrophilic functional group and a hydrophobic functional group.

3. The polarizer according to claim 1 , wherein the polyvinyl alcohol based film has a softening point of about 65° C. to about 71° C.

4. An optical display device comprising the polarizer according to claim 1 .

5. A polarizing plate comprising a polarizer and protective films respectively stacked on opposite surfaces of the polarizer,

the polarizing plate having an initial shrinkage onset temperature of greater than 70° C. and 90° C. or less, as measured at a temperature elevation rate of 10° C./min by thermomechanical analysis.

6. The polarizing plate according to claim 5 , wherein the polarizer comprises a polyvinyl alcohol based film and has an endothermic peak of 50° C. to 60° C., as measured at a temperature elevation rate of 10° C./min by differential scanning calorimetry.

7. The polarizing plate according to claim 5 , wherein the polyvinyl alcohol based film has both a hydrophilic functional group and a hydrophobic functional group.

8. The polarizing plate according to claim 5 , wherein the protective film comprises a triacetylcellulose resin film, a polyethylene terephthalate resin film, or an amorphous cyclic polyolefin resin film.

9. The polarizing plate according to claim 5 , wherein the protective film has an initial shrinkage onset temperature of 70° C. to 130° C., as measured at a temperature elevation rate of 10° C./min by thermomechanical analysis.

10. An optical display device comprising the polarizing plate according to claim 5 .
