Description

TECHNICAL FIELD [0001] The present invention relates to a patterning retarder and an image display device having the patterning retarder.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a patterning retarder and an image display apparatus having the patterning retarder, and more particularly, to a patterning retarder capable of improving the visibility of a laser pointer and an image display apparatus having the patterning retarder.

Conventionally, in a presentation such as a meeting or a presentation, it has been often done to project a data image on a screen or a wall using a projector. At this time, the presenter generally uses a laser pointer for projecting laser light at any place on the presentation image, and performs presentation while pointing to a screen or the like. However, in the case of the screen projection using the projector, there is a problem that the contrast is lowered or the image quality is deteriorated in the projected image.

In recent years, liquid crystal displays (LCDs) and plasma displays (PDPs) have been made larger than 70 inches in size, so that it is possible to display images directly on these displays themselves instead of projector projection, A display device capable of realizing a 3D image due to the development of video contents has been developed, and it is becoming possible to perform a presentation using a liquid crystal display (LCD) or a plasma display (PDP) capable of realizing a 3D image. As a method for realizing a 3D image, a polarized spectacle method using a patterned retarder has been applied.

However, when the presentation is performed by direct display using such a display, there is a problem that the visibility of the pointer is poor when the laser pointer is used because the display is self-luminous. In addition, when the display property of the display itself is improved, the reflectivity of the projected light of the laser pointer is suppressed if the scattering property of the display surface is improved, so that there arises a problem that the visibility of the laser pointer is not improved.

Recently, as disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2001-236181, there is also a possibility that the laser pointer may be used as a pointing device for performing screen display manipulation on a display, and the visibility becomes even more important.

Test Example

For each of the patterned retarders obtained in Examples and Comparative Examples, the following evaluation tests were carried out, and the results are shown in Table 1 below.

(One) laser  Pointer visibility evaluation

When the patterned retarder manufactured in Examples and Comparative Examples was attached to the upper surface of the display panel and the display was switched to the white mode and the 405 nm laser pointer was irradiated to the panel at an angle of 60 degrees, .

&Amp; cir &: The light of the laser pointer is brightly recognized.

A: The position of the laser pointer can be recognized.

X: The position of the laser pointer is not confirmed.

(2)? SCE (%) Measure

The scattered reflectance of the optical stacked body was measured in an SCE mode using an integral spectrophotometer (cm-3700d, Konica Minolta) after the back surface of the optical stacked body manufactured in Examples and Comparative Examples was attached to a black plate.

Since the emitted light is emitted in all directions, the light is measured even in the SCE mode and appears as a scattering reflectance.

At this time, in order to eliminate the possibility that the scattering reflectance may be increased due to the scattering reflection value of the antiglare film itself, the scattering reflectance of the light emitting wavelength and the scattering reflectance (scattering reflectance of the film itself) The luminescence was confirmed by the difference.

If the ΔSCE (%) was more than 0.2%, the laser pointer could be visually recognized easily on the panel.

The orientation angles of A among the A and B patterns of the retardation film produced with the WPA-100L equipment of Lucea were measured
