Background technology
In recent years, low, the work under low-voltage of consumed power, lightweight and slim liquid crystal indicator are popularized rapidly with display device with information such as monitor and TVs as portable phone, portable information terminal, computing machine.And then, be accompanied by the development of liquid crystal technology, the liquid crystal indicator of various patterns has been proposed, progressively solved the problem of liquid crystal indicators such as answer speed in the past, contrast and field angle.
On the other hand, according to the further slim lightweight strong request of the liquid crystal indicator in market, liquid crystal panel, diffuser plate, backlight unit and the drive IC etc. that constitute liquid crystal indicator are just in slimming or miniaturization.Under such situation, also require to carry out slimming with the unit of 10 μ m as the polarization plates of the parts that constitute liquid crystal panel.
Simultaneously, be accompanied by popularizing of liquid crystal indicator, lowering the requirement from the cost in market also strengthens day by day, and polarization plates also must reduce cost, improve productivity.
In order to satisfy these requirements, various schemes have been proposed so far.For example; The one or both sides that polarization plates has polarizing coating usually are provided with the formation of transparent protective film; As this transparent protective film; Usually use triacetyl cellulose, but shown in JPH08-43812-A, thereby extensively attempted through making this diaphragm have phase differential and giving optical compensation function and seek the minimizing of component parts and the simplification of production process.Through being set at such formation, can make the slim lightweight of composite polarizing plate as the sandwich of polarization plates and polarizer, and then; Through reducing the component parts quantity of liquid crystal indicator; Can simplify production process, improve yield rate, thereby reduce cost.
And then, also actively carried out trial with other resin substitution diaphragm beyond the triacetyl cellulose.For example, in JPH07-77608-A, a kind of method of using annular ethylene series resin to replace triacetyl cellulose is disclosed.But annular ethylene series resin is expensive, so present situation is: be used for the higher phase retardation film of surcharge, the viewpoint from cutting down cost only as diaphragm the time is considered, has uneven such problem.
As the technology that satisfies above-mentioned requirements, for example proposed with the method for polyethylene terephthalate film as diaphragm.The physical strength of polyethylene terephthalate is excellent, is suitable for filmization, can realize the slimming of polarization plates.And then, compare with triacetyl cellulose or annular ethylene series resin, consider to have superiority usually from the cost aspect.In addition, compare, have characteristics such as low-moisture permeability and low water absorbable, so humidity resistance, cold-resistant thermal shock property are also excellent, can also expect that environmental change is also had high-durability with triacetyl cellulose.
But on the other hand, the common optical anisotropy of stretching polyethylene terephthalate film that is suitable for diaphragm is big, shows high length of delay.Such has optically anisotropic film when being installed in the liquid crystal indicator will having adopted as the polarization plates of diaphragm; With tri acetyl cellulose membrane is compared as the common polarization plates of diaphragm; Existence from the irregular colour of tilted direction (be also referred to as interfere uneven, rainbow is uneven) obviously, the problem that the identification difference is such.About this problem; Following method is for example disclosed in JP2009-109993-A: through combination the polyethylene terephthalate film is constituted liquid crystal indicator as the polarization plates of diaphragm and the polarization plates of having given the antiglare layer of control mist value, thereby reduce irregular colour.But even use the minimizing of this method irregular colour also not necessarily talkative fully, and the physics value of diaphragm itself is restricted, thereby causes the restriction of production aspect, the therefore easier and effective method of expectation establishment.
Therefore; The object of the present invention is to provide a kind of liquid crystal indicator; It is the liquid crystal indicator that comprises backlight and be configured in the liquid crystal panel on the backlight; Even will have under the situation of optically anisotropic film as the light incident side polarization plates of light source side diaphragm having installed, irregular colour is few, identification is excellent and realized that slimming, cost performance are also excellent.
In addition, another object of the present invention is to provide a kind of optics combination that is suitable for above-mentioned liquid crystal indicator.
The inventor furthers investigate in order to solve above-mentioned irregular colour problem always.Its result finds; Possessing backlight and be configured in the liquid crystal indicator of the liquid crystal panel on the backlight; Be equipped with to have under the situation of polarization plates that optically anisotropic film is the light source side diaphragm as the light incident side polarization plates; Slow axis and the above-mentioned formed angle of slow axis (axle deviation angle) with optically anisotropic optical sheet parts through having optically anisotropic light source side diaphragm are set at below 60 °, can effectively reduce the irregular colour of liquid crystal indicator.Through using this method, can be under the situation that does not increase new parts realize high identification and slimming, cost degradation with easy method and deposit.Need to prove that in the present invention, the slow axis and above-mentioned with optically anisotropic light source side diaphragm has the formed angle of slow axis of optically anisotropic optical sheet parts (axle deviation angle) and is meant, angle less than normal, i.e. angle below 90 °.
