Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To expand good visibility area in a liquid crystal display device by arranging a transparent protection layer whose intra-plane phase difference shows specified birefringence so that the lagged phase axis becomes parallel or orthogonal to the transmission axis of a polarizing film. SOLUTION: This plate is composed of a polarizing plate having transparent protection layers 1, 4 on both sides of a polarizing film 3, at least one side e.g. the transparent protection layer 1 shows the birefringence whose intra-plane phase difference is 50-200nm and the lagged phase axis of the transparent protection layer 1 is in the parallel or orthogonal relation with the transmission axis of the polarizing film 3. The compensating effect to the change of visual angle is little when the intraplane phase difference is less than 50nm and when it exceeds 200nm, a color change such as coloring occurs due to the wavelength dispersion of the difference of birefringent refractive indices. As for the preferable transparent protection layer 1 of birefringence, Nz defined by the relation: (nx -nz )/(nx -ny ) falls within (-1)-3, specially 0.2-2.5 under the condition nx >ny , by representing principal refractive indices in the plane by nx , ny and the refractive index in the direction of thickness by nz .

[0003] The narrow viewing angle is such that the optical anisotropy peculiar to the liquid crystal affects the viewing angle characteristic of visibility, so that the linearly polarized light incident on the liquid crystal cell via the polarizing plate becomes elliptically polarized, It is thought that the cause is that the angle changes. That is, when the display light in the polarization state transmitted through the liquid crystal cell is directly incident on the polarizing plate on the viewing side, the transmittance decreases with an increase in the viewing angle (viewing angle), and the display brightness becomes insufficient. Is considered to cause a reduction in visibility such as inversion of the color or a color change such as coloring.

The transparent protective layer having birefringence with an in-plane retardation of 50 to 200 nm is arranged so that the slow axis is parallel or orthogonal to the transmission axis of the polarizing film.
In the front direction perpendicular to the surface of the polarizing film, it is possible to prevent deterioration of brightness and contrast without being affected by the phase difference due to the transparent protective layer, and for oblique viewing, the state of linear polarization due to the birefringence of the liquid crystal cell. A liquid crystal display device having a wide viewing angle can be obtained by compensating for the change and expanding a region of good visibility which is excellent in contrast and brightness without color change such as coloring or gradation inversion.

In the above, even a general polarizing plate provided with a transparent protective layer made of a triacetate film of anti-birefringence type for the purpose of maintaining the polarization state has an in-plane retardation of about 5 to 10 nm. Since the phase difference is about 15 to 30 nm in the direction inclined by 45 degrees with respect to the normal direction of the surface, the optical characteristics are deteriorated by providing such a transparent protective layer as compared with the case of using only the polarizing film as shown in FIG. I do. Therefore, it was surprising that the viewing angle for good visibility could be expanded by further increasing the in-plane retardation of the transparent protective layer as in the present invention.

That is, in FIG. 3, a general polarizing plate in which a triacetate film is provided on both sides of a polarizing film made of an iodine-absorbed stretched polyvinyl alcohol film, and a polarizing film alone are arranged in a crossed Nicols, and 45 ° from the transmission axis. The spectrum of the orthogonal transmittance at an incident angle of 60 degrees in the azimuth direction is shown. As is clear from this figure, the orthogonal transmittance of the polarizing film alone is about 2%, whereas the transparent film is transparent. Approx. 3 for polarizing plate with protective layer

The orthogonal transmittance in the front direction which is the normal direction of the polarizing plate, that is, the direction in which the in-plane retardation of the transparent protective layer appears is about 0.03% in each case. The difference in% is the light that should not be transmitted by crossed Nicols but is transmitted by the change in the polarization state based on the transparent protective layer. In the oblique direction, the change in the polarization state is large due to the increase in the phase difference due to the transparent protective layer. It means becoming. Therefore, as described above, it is unexpected that the viewing angle of good visibility can be expanded by the configuration of the present invention in which the in-plane retardation of the transparent protective layer is made larger.

Further, even when the polarizing film is used alone, the cross transmittance (light leakage) of about 2% is exhibited. This is due to the polarization rotation based on the polarizing film and not due to the transparent protective layer. Thus, light leakage due to polarization rotation based on the polarizing film can be prevented.

If the in-plane retardation is less than 50 nm, the effect of compensating for a change in viewing angle is poor, and if it exceeds 200 nm, color dispersion such as coloring occurs due to wavelength dispersion of the birefringence difference. Is difficult to expand.

That is, the above means that optimizing the N z on the premise of the above-mentioned in-plane retardation of the transparent protective layer exhibiting birefringence is advantageous for widening the viewing angle for good visual recognition, When N z is less than −1 or more than 3, the change of the slow axis depending on the viewing angle becomes large and the range of the viewing angle that can be compensated becomes narrow, which makes it difficult to widen the viewing angle. Each refractive index in the above formula is based on the sodium D line. When the refractive index is used, the in-plane retardation is the difference in the birefringent refractive index (Δn: n
can be expressed as x -n y) and the product of the layer thickness (d) (△ nd).

Evaluation Test The polarizing plates obtained in Examples and Comparative Examples (wide viewing angle) were arranged on both sides (front / rear) of the TFT type liquid crystal cell in the combinations shown in the table, and the viewing angle was 60 degrees in the vertical and horizontal directions. The viewing angle characteristics in Table 1 were examined, and the best condition was set to 5, and the evaluation was made in 5 stages. BWG attached to each numerical value is the main cause of the reduction in visibility. B: the degree of underexposure that contrast is reduced by blackening the display, W: white blurring degree that the contrast is reduced by whitening the display, G: It means the degree of gradation inversion. Therefore, 3B, 3W,
3G is each intermediate state, and 5G means that gradation inversion did not occur. In the case of having a birefringent transparent protective film, it was placed on the liquid crystal cell side.

From the table, it can be seen that while only the polarizing film of Comparative Example 1 causes gradation reversal due to a change in the viewing angle from side to side, in Examples 1 to 3 using the wide viewing angle polarizing plate, gradation reversal is prevented. It can be seen that the vertical viewing angle is also slightly improved. Further, in-plane retardation: 50 from comparison with Comparative Examples 2 to 4.
It can be seen that satisfying N200 nm and N z -11〜33 is advantageous for expanding the viewing angle.
