In addition, in solutions containing iodine and/or dichroic dyes, an appropriate amount of a gelling agent such as sodium alginate is added to adjust the viscosity of the solution, and the viscosity of the solution is adjusted to 50%.
It is preferable to adjust the temperature to 100 to 500 poise or more, preferably 100 to 500 poise, because when obtaining a patterned polarizing film, the pattern can be formed in a straight line.

Furthermore, when performing the heating and humidifying treatment, the purpose of performing the heating and humidifying treatment under tension as described above is to prevent the uniaxially stretched hydrophilic polymer film from shrinking during the treatment. A plastic film with good heat resistance may be adhered to one side, and the stretched film may be attached during the heating and humidifying treatment to prevent the stretched film from shrinking during the heating and humidifying treatment. Examples of the plastic film include polyester film, polyacrylic film, and acetate film.
