Polarizing plate and liquid crystal display device
A polarizing plate includes: a polyvinyl alcohol-based polarizer; and transparent protective films provided on both surfaces of the polyvinyl alcohol-based polarizer with an adhesive layer interposed between each of the transparent protective films and the polyvinyl alcohol-based polarizer. A first transparent protective film contains a (meth)acrylic resin and an ultraviolet absorber, the (meth)acrylic resin having an unsaturated carboxylic acid alkyl ester unit and a glutarimide unit represented by the general formula (1), having an imidization ratio of 2.5 to 5.0% and an acid value of 0.10 to 0.50 mmol/g, and having an acrylic ester unit of less than 1% by weight. A second transparent protective film contains a cycloolefin-based resin. R 1 and R 2 each independently represent hydrogen or an alkyl group; and R 3 represents an alkyl group, a cycloalkyl group, or an aryl group.
