A polarizing plate and an optical display including the same are provided. The polarizing plate is composed of a display region and a non-display region surrounding the display region, and includes: a polarizer; and a bonding layer and a first polarizer protective film sequentially stacked on an upper surface of the polarizer. A light shielding layer includes a UV absorbent material and is embedded in the bonding layer to constitute at least a portion of the non-display region. The light shielding layer is formed on at least one surface of the first polarizer protective film.

Polarizing plate and optical display including the same

An optical display includes an optical display element including a second substrate, a first substrate facing the second substrate, a dummy region and a metal interconnection layer thereon. A first polarizing plate on an upper surface of the optical display element has a light shielding layer therein including printed patterns separated from each other. A first printed layer includes a first point at an interface between the display and non-display regions and a second point at a vertex closest to the first point. A second printed layer includes a third point at the interface and a fourth point at a vertex closes to the third point. The light shielding layer satisfies H&#x2264;P/2, where H is a minimum value among a distance from the interface to the second point and a distance from the interface to the fourth point, and P is a width of the dummy region.
