Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a polarizing plate, a liquid crystal display, and a polarizing plate,

The present invention relates to a polarizing plate having a frictional force reducing component on a specific surface, and a liquid crystal display in which the polarizing plate is disposed between a liquid crystal cell and a backlight. The present invention also relates to a method for easily manufacturing the polarizing plate.

In recent years, liquid crystal display devices have been widely used as display devices for watches, mobile phones, notebook PCs, monitors for PCs, DVD players, televisions, and the like. Such a liquid crystal display device is usually composed of a cold cathode tube or a backlight made of a light emitting diode (LED), a light diffusing plate, one or a plurality of light diffusion sheets, a back side polarizing plate, a liquid crystal cell and a viewer side polarizing plate.

In particular, when a liquid crystal display device is used for a large-screen liquid crystal television, the necessity as a wall-mounted television becomes thinner and the necessity of thinning a member used in a liquid crystal display device in response to this is required.

The light diffusion layer has a specific fine concavo-convex structure and has a surface hardness of less than or equal to the pencil hardness H, for example, in accordance with the thinning of such a liquid crystal display device, (For example, refer to Patent Document 1). Patent Document 1 describes that a thin display device can be formed because the light diffusion sheet disposed between the liquid crystal cell and the backlight can be omitted by using the light diffusion polarizing plate.

Further, a back-surface-side polarizer in which the number of scratches when the surface is rubbed under specific conditions is 10 or less, and a liquid crystal display device using the back-side polarizer are disclosed (for example, see Patent Document 2).

Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2000-75136 Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 2010-211196

As the distance between the back-surface-side polarizing plate and the diffusing sheet becomes shorter as the members used in the liquid crystal display apparatus become thinner, the problem arises that the back-surface-side polarizing plate and the diffusing sheet come in contact with each other and the surface of the back- . Patent Document 1 discloses that it is possible to prevent the optical member such as the light condensing sheet and the like which are disposed on the polarizing plate from being scratched by controlling the surface hardness of the light diffusing layer to H or less, The scratch resistance of the test piece was not examined. In addition, in the method of Patent Document 1, since the light diffusion layer is manufactured by sandblasting, there is a problem in terms of productivity and cost. Further, the presence of the light-diffusing layer also causes a problem that the light emitted from the backlight is diffused and the panel contrast is lowered.

In Patent Document 2, although scratches on the surface of the polarizing plate have been studied, a light-diffusing layer is formed on the surface of the polarizing plate, resulting in problems in terms of productivity and cost. In addition, the panel contrast of the liquid crystal display device using the polarizing plate is not sufficient.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a polarizing plate capable of providing a liquid crystal display device having a high contrast by including the polarizing plate as a polarizing plate having high scratch resistance. It is another object of the present invention to provide a method for easily manufacturing the polarizing plate.

As a result of intensive investigations to solve the above problems, the present inventors have found out that the above-mentioned object can be achieved by the following polarizing plate, and have completed the present invention.

That is, the present invention provides, as the polarizing plate in a liquid crystal display device having at least a liquid crystal cell, a polarizing plate, a diffusing sheet and a backlight in this order and in which the polarizing plate and the diffusing sheet are in contact,

Wherein the polarizing plate has a frictional force reducing component on a surface of the polarizing plate contacting the diffusing sheet and the copper frictional force of the surface of the polarizing plate having a frictional force reducing component and the diffusing sheet is 1.0 N or less.

It is preferable that the polarizing plate has a transparent protective film laminated on at least one surface of the polarizer.

It is preferable that the polarizing plate does not form a diffusion layer on the surface where the polarizing plate makes contact with the diffusion sheet.

Further, the present invention relates to a liquid crystal display device comprising a viewer-side polarizing plate, a liquid crystal cell, the polarizing plate, a diffusion sheet and a backlight in this order, and the polarizing plate and the diffusion sheet being in contact with each other.

The present invention also provides a process for producing a polarizing plate comprising the steps of preparing a polarizing plate in which a transparent protective film is laminated on at least one surface of a polarizer,

A step of forming a transfer sheet having a layer containing a friction-reducing component on a substrate,

A step of forming a laminate by bonding the polarizing plate and the transfer sheet so that the layer containing the frictional resistance-reducing component of the transfer sheet comes into contact with the transparent protective film of the polarizing plate; and

And a step of peeling the transfer sheet from the laminate.

In the present invention, by setting the frictional force-reducing component on the surface of the polarizing plate on the rear side to be in contact with the diffusing sheet to 1.0 N or less on the surface having the frictional force reducing component of the polarizing plate and the diffusing sheet, A polarizing plate having high scratch resistance can be obtained without forming a hard coat layer or the like. Therefore, even if the polarizing plate of the present invention is in contact with the diffusion sheet of the liquid crystal display, the surface of the polarizing plate is not scratched. Further, by using the polarizing plate of the present invention, a liquid crystal display device with high contrast can be provided. Further, according to the present invention, a polarizing plate having high scratch resistance can be produced by a very simple method in which a transfer sheet having a layer containing a frictional force reducing component is bonded to a polarizing plate and the frictional force lowering component is transferred onto the polarizing plate .

1. Polarizer

The polarizing plate of the present invention is a polarizing plate (rear-surface-side polarizing plate) in a liquid crystal display device having at least a liquid crystal cell, a polarizing plate, a diffusing sheet and a backlight in this order,

Wherein the polarizing plate has a frictional force reducing component on a surface of the polarizing plate contacting with the diffusion sheet and a copper frictional force between the surface having the frictional force reducing component of the polarizing plate and the diffusing sheet is 1.0 N or less.

The polarizing plate of the present invention has a frictional force-reducing component on the surface of the liquid crystal display device in contact with the diffusing sheet and the frictional force between the surface having the frictional force reducing component of the polarizing plate and the diffusing sheet is 1.0 N or less. There is no particular limitation, and for example, a transparent protective film to be a protective layer may be laminated on one side or both sides of the polarizer through an appropriate adhesive layer.

(1) Polarizer

The polarizer is not particularly limited, and various polarizers can be used. Examples of the polarizer include iodine, dichroic (dichroic), and hydrophilic polymers such as a polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) based resin film, a partially formalized PVA based resin film and a partially saponified ethylene- A monoaxially stretched film obtained by adsorbing a dichroic material such as a dye, a polyene oriented film such as a dehydrated film of PVA, a dehydrochlorinated film of polyvinyl chloride, and the like. Among them, a PVA-based resin film and a PVA-based polarizer made of a dichroic substance such as iodine are preferable.

As the PVA polarizer, a PVA resin film is dyed with a dichroic substance (typically iodine, dichroic dye) and uniaxially stretched is used. The degree of polymerization of the PVA-based resin constituting the PVA-based resin film is preferably from 100 to 10000, more preferably from 1000 to 5,000. If the degree of polymerization is too low, stretching breakage tends to occur when a predetermined stretching is carried out, and if the degree of polymerization is too high, tensile force is required abnormally at the time of stretching, and mechanical stretching may not be possible. The average saponification degree of the PVA resin is preferably about 85 to 100 mol%, more preferably 90 to 100 mol%.

The PVA-based resin film constituting the polarizer can be molded by any suitable method (for example, a casting method, a casting method, or an extrusion method) in which a solution in which a resin is dissolved in water or an organic solvent is formed into a flexible film have.

As a method for producing the polarizer, any suitable method may be adopted depending on the purpose, materials to be used, conditions, and the like. For example, the PVA resin film is conventionally employed in a series of manufacturing processes including swelling, dyeing, crosslinking, stretching, washing, and drying. In each processing step except for the drying step, the treatment can be carried out by immersing the PVA-based resin film in a liquid containing the solution used in each step. The sequence number, number of times, and the presence / absence of each processing of swelling, dyeing, crosslinking, stretching, washing and drying can be suitably set according to the purpose, materials to be used, conditions and the like. For example, some of the treatments may be performed simultaneously in one step, or the swelling treatment, the dyeing treatment, and the crosslinking treatment may be simultaneously performed. In addition, for example, it is possible to appropriately employ a crosslinking treatment before and after the stretching treatment. For example, the water washing treatment may be performed after all the treatments, or only after the specific treatment.

The thickness of the polarizer is not particularly limited, but is preferably about 1 to 35 μm, and more preferably about 15 to 35 μm. If the thickness of the polarizer is excessively thin, it tends to be easily damaged when it is laminated with the transparent protective film.
