残留溶媒量が2質量%以下となった後に得られるアクリル樹脂フィルムを、巻き取り機37により、長尺方向にロール状に巻き取る。巻き取り時のフィルムの残留溶媒量は、フィルムの寸法安定性を損なわないためなどから、0.4質量%以下であることが好ましく、0.00~0.10質量%であることがより好ましい。
本発明の偏光板は、偏光子と、偏光板保護フィルムとを含む。偏光板保護フィルムは、前述のアクリル樹脂フィルムを含む。
偏光子は、一定方向の偏波面の光だけを通す素子であり、現在知られている代表的な偏光子は、ポリビニルアルコール系偏光フィルムである。ポリビニルアルコール系偏光フィルムには、ポリビニルアルコール系フィルムにヨウ素を染色させたものと、二色性染料を染色させたものとがある。
偏光子の一方の面には、位相差フィルムがさらに配置されうる。
式(a) 2.0≦X+Y≦2.5*
式(b) 0≦Y≦1.5
(式中、Xはアセチル基の置換度を示し、Yはプロピオニル基またはブチリル基、もしくはそれらの混合物の置換度を示す)
偏光板保護フィルムと偏光子との貼り合わせは、完全鹸化型のポリビニルアルコ-ル系接着剤、アセトアセチル基変性ポリビニルアルコール系接着剤や、活性エネルギー線硬化性接着剤などを用いて行うことができる。得られる接着剤層の弾性率が高く、偏光板の寸法変化を抑制しやすいことなどから、活性エネルギー線硬化性接着剤を用いることが好ましい。即ち、偏光板保護フィルムと偏光子とは、活性エネルギー線硬化性接着剤の硬化物層を介して接着されていることが好ましい。
本発明の液晶表示装置は、液晶セルと、それを挟持する一対の偏光板とを含む。そして、一対の偏光板の少なくとも一方を本発明の偏光板としうる。
