Description

偏光板セットおよび液晶パネルPolarizing plate set and LCD panel
 本発明は、偏光板セットおよび液晶パネルに関する。 The present invention relates to a polarizing plate set and a liquid crystal panel.
 画像表示装置等において、液晶セルの視認側および背面側にそれぞれ偏光板が配置された液晶パネルが用いられている。液晶パネルは、高温環境下において使用すると反りが生じる場合があることが知られている(特許文献1及び2)。 In an image display device or the like, a liquid crystal panel in which polarizing plates are arranged on the visual side and the back side of the liquid crystal cell is used. It is known that a liquid crystal panel may warp when used in a high temperature environment (Patent Documents 1 and 2).
 特許文献1には、偏光板セットにおいて凹形状に反る側の偏光板における保護層の引張弾性率を所定の式を満たすようにすることにより、高温環境下における液晶パネルの反りを低下させることが提案されている。特許文献2には、前面板一体型偏光板の偏光子の前面板から遠くなる面から液晶セルまでの距離を、背面側偏光板の偏光子の前面板側に近くなる面から液晶セルまでの距離より大きくすることにより、高温環境下における液晶パネルの反りを低下させることが提案されている。特許文献3には、加圧脱泡中に生じる液晶パネルの反りを低下させるために、偏光子の厚み、弾性率および寸法変化率並びに偏光子から液晶セルまでの距離から算出される値を特定の比率とした液晶表示装置が提案されている。 In Patent Document 1, the warp of the liquid crystal panel in a high temperature environment is reduced by satisfying a predetermined formula for the tensile elastic modulus of the protective layer in the polarizing plate on the side warped in the concave shape in the polarizing plate set. Has been proposed. In Patent Document 2, the distance from the surface far from the front plate of the polarizing plate of the front plate integrated polarizing plate to the liquid crystal cell is set to the distance from the surface close to the front plate side of the polarizing element of the back side polarizing plate to the liquid crystal cell. It has been proposed to reduce the warpage of the liquid crystal panel in a high temperature environment by making it larger than the distance. In Patent Document 3, in order to reduce the warp of the liquid crystal panel that occurs during pressure defoaming, a value calculated from the thickness, elastic modulus and dimensional change rate of the splitter and the distance from the splitter to the liquid crystal cell is specified. A liquid crystal display device having a ratio of the above has been proposed.

 高温(例えば85℃)環境下において反りが生じるのは、パネルに貼合される偏光板の構成要素であるポリビニルアルコール系樹脂フィルムを含む偏光子(以下、PVA偏光子ともいう)が加熱により収縮するためである場合が多い。PVA偏光子はとりわけ、加熱により延伸方向の収縮が大きい傾向にある。このようなPVA偏光子に起因する液晶パネルの反りは、上記特許文献に記載の偏光板セットにより低減できることがある。 Warping occurs in a high temperature (for example, 85 ° C.) environment because the polarizing element containing the polyvinyl alcohol-based resin film, which is a component of the polarizing plate attached to the panel (hereinafter, also referred to as PVA polarizing element), shrinks due to heating. In many cases, it is to do. PVA modulators, in particular, tend to shrink significantly in the stretching direction due to heating. The warp of the liquid crystal panel caused by such a PVA polarizing element may be reduced by the polarizing plate set described in the above patent document.
 一方、液晶テレビ用モジュールを例えば船便で輸送し、開梱後、バックライトを点灯させると、液晶パネルに反りが生じるという問題が起きることがあった。液晶テレビの大型化が進むなか、大型液晶テレビ用の偏光板では、その面積の大きさのため、前面側偏光板および背面側偏光板のわずかな寸法変化に対して反り量は大きくなり、これを抑制することが面積の小さい用途と比べて非常に重要となる。 On the other hand, if the LCD TV module is transported by sea, for example, and the backlight is turned on after unpacking, there may be a problem that the LCD panel is warped. As the size of LCD TVs increases, the area of polarizing plates for large LCD TVs increases, so the amount of warpage increases with slight dimensional changes in the front and back polarizing plates. Is very important compared to applications with a small area.
 本発明の目的は、液晶パネルの反りが抑制される偏光板セットを提供することである。 An object of the present invention is to provide a polarizing plate set in which warpage of a liquid crystal panel is suppressed.

 本発明者により、液晶セルに貼合されている偏光板の構成要素である偏光子は高い湿度の環境下に長時間晒されると徐々に水分が吸収され、その後バックライト点灯して時間が経つと、水分移動に伴い偏光子が変形し、この変形にともない、液晶セルの反りが発生することが分かった。例えば液晶テレビ用モジュールを船便で輸送する場合、船底では湿度が高く、長時間にわたり液晶セルに貼合されている偏光板が吸湿した状態となる。その状態で開梱後、単に偏光子の収縮力や偏光板の収縮力を低下させる方法では、外部からの水分の侵入を十分に防ぐことが困難であり、偏光子の吸水量が大きくなってしまい、結果として変形量が大きくなってしまう。本発明者の鋭意検討の結果、上記L1(μm)およびL2(μm)の少なくともいずれか一方を35μm以下とし、かつ、前面側偏光板および背面側偏光板から選ばれる少なくとも一つが偏光子の液晶セル側に、透湿度が400g/
・24hr以下の樹脂層を有することにより、液晶パネルの反り量が低減され易くなる傾向にあることが見出された。これは、偏光子の液晶セル側からの水分の侵入を抑制しつつ、偏光子より液晶セル側に蓄積するひずみのエネルギーを小さくできるためであると推測される。
According to the present inventor, the polarizing element, which is a component of the polarizing plate attached to the liquid crystal cell, is gradually absorbed in moisture when exposed to a high humidity environment for a long time, and then the backlight is turned on for a long time. It was found that the polarizing element was deformed due to the movement of water, and the liquid crystal cell was warped due to this deformation. For example, when a module for an LCD TV is transported by sea, the humidity is high at the bottom of the ship, and the polarizing plate attached to the liquid crystal cell is in a state of absorbing moisture for a long time. After unpacking in that state, it is difficult to sufficiently prevent the intrusion of moisture from the outside by simply reducing the contractile force of the polarizing element and the contractile force of the polarizing plate, and the amount of water absorbed by the polarizing element becomes large. As a result, the amount of deformation becomes large. As a result of diligent studies by the present inventor, at least one of the above L1 (μm) and L2 (μm) is set to 35 μm or less, and at least one selected from the front-side polarizing plate and the back-side polarizing plate is a liquid crystal of a polarizing element. Moisture permeability is 400g / on the cell side
It has been found that having a resin layer of m 2.24 hr or less tends to reduce the amount of warpage of the liquid crystal panel.
