Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a method for preparing a thin polarizer, and a thin polarizer prepared using the same, the method including forming a film laminate by attaching a non-stretched polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) film having a thickness of 10 to 60 μm to at least one surface of a non-stretched base film, using attractive force therebetween; and stretching the film laminate such that the thickness of the PVA film is 10 μm or less.

Claims (12)

1. A method for preparing a thin polarizer, comprising:

forming a film laminate by attaching a non-stretched polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) film having a thickness of 10 to 60 μm to at least one surface of a non-stretched base film, using attractive force therebetween;

stretching the film laminate such that the thickness of the PVA film is 10 μm or less; and

wherein the attractive force between the non-stretched base film and the non-stretched PVA film is 0.1 to 2N/2 cm.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the base film is a polymer film having a maximum stretching magnification of 5 or more times.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the base film is at least one selected from a group consisting of a high density polyethylene film, a polyurethane film, a polypropylene film, a polyolefin film, an ester-based film, a low density polyethylene film, a co-extruded film of high density polyethylene and low density polyethylene, a copolymer resin having ethylene vinyl acetate contained in high density polyethylene, an acrylic film, a polyethylene terephthalate film, a polyvinyl alcohol film and a cellulose film.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the stretching of the film laminate is performed through wet stretching.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the stretching of the film laminate is performed at a temperature of 20° C. to 85° C. at a stretching magnification of 5 to 15 times.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising: dyeing the film laminate with at least one of iodine and a dichroic dye, prior to the stretching.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the stretching of the film laminate is performed in an aqueous boric acid solution.

8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising: separating the PVA film from the base film, after the stretching of the film laminate.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the separating of the PVA film from the base film is performed by applying peeling strength of 2N/2 cm.
