Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a polarizing plate prevented from causing damage to a polarized light separating sheet or sticking to it effectively even when the polarizing plate is arranged adjacently to the polarized light separating sheet by providing a specific micro-uneven structure and a water-repellent and oil- repellent layer on it. SOLUTION: In this polarizing plate 1, transparent protective layers 12, 14 made of polymer applied layer, a film laminated layer and the like are arranged on both side faces of a polarizing film 13 for the purpose of waterproof protection and the like. For example, the polarizing film 13 is formed by drawing a hydrophilic polymer film such as a polyvinyl alcohol group film after it adsorbs a dichromatic material such as iodine and a dichromatic dye. In the polarizing plate 1, a micro-uneven structure with a mean center line roughness of 0.1-0.5 μm and surface hardness of H-4H in pencil hardness is provided on one surface, and a water-repellent and oil-repellent layer 11 is provided on the micro-uneven structure. In formation of the water-repellent and oil-repellent layer 11, an alkyl fluoride water-repellent and oil-repellent agent or a silicone water-repellent and oil-repellent agent consisting of alkyl fluoride or silicone is used preferably.

2. Description of the Related Art There has been proposed a liquid crystal display device in which a polarizing plate and a liquid crystal cell are sequentially arranged on a backlight via an optical sheet made of, for example, a diffusion sheet, a condensing sheet, or a polarization separation sheet. In such an arrangement structure, after the light emitted from the backlight is diffused by the diffusion sheet, the light path is controlled by the light-collecting sheet and introduced into the polarization separation sheet, and the emitted light is converted into polarized light and introduced into the polarizing plate. Thus, the light use efficiency is improved, and the brightness of the liquid crystal display device is improved. However, the polarizing plate and the adjacent optical sheet come into close contact with each other, causing a sticking phenomenon, and there is a problem that display quality is deteriorated.

In view of the above, the present inventors have conventionally known an anti-glare polarizing plate which is disposed on the viewing side of a display device for the purpose of preventing glare and the like, in order to prevent sticking between the polarizing plate and an adjacent optical sheet. An attempt was made to dispose an object having an uneven structure on the light source side of a liquid crystal cell.

However, although sticking was prevented by this, it was found that there was a problem that the adjacent optical sheet was damaged due to scratches or the like due to the uneven structure on the antiglare surface of the polarizing plate. In particular, when the above-mentioned polarized light separating sheet is adjacent to the polarizing plate, such a polarized light separating sheet has a smooth surface such as a linearly polarized light separating sheet having a multilayer film having a refractive index anisotropy or a circularly polarized light separating sheet having a cholesteric liquid crystal layer. On the other hand, sticking is likely to occur, but the soft film is easily scratched, and the scratch becomes a scattering point or the like, impairing the optical function and significantly deteriorating the display quality.
