It is an object of the present invention to provide a polarizing plate which has high productivity and can suppress water-induced unevenness, and a method for producing the same. A polarizing plate includes: a retardation film provided on one surface of a polarizer with an adhesive layer interposed therebetween; and a protective film provided on the other surface of the polarizer with an adhesive layer interposed therebetween. The retardation film contains a cellulose resin. After the polarizing plate is immersed in water at 23&#xb0; C. for 24 hours in a state where the polarizing plate is bonded to a glass plate, and taken out from the water, the polarizing plate has a dimensional change rate of 0.1% or less after 1 minute under an atmosphere of a temperature of 23&#xb0; C. and humidity of 55%.

Polarizing plate and method for manufacturing polarizing plate

It is an object of the present invention to provide a polarizing plate which can suppress display unevenness even when being incorporated into a liquid crystal display device, has neutral hue, and can maintain cross property even when a low water-vapor permeable protective film is used. It is another object of the present invention to provide a method for manufacturing the same. The polarizing plate includes: a polarizing film; an adhesive layer; and a protective film provided on at least one surface of the polarizing film with the adhesive layer interposed therebetween. A ratio (I/I) of absorbance Iof the polarizing film at 285 nm to absorbance Ithereof at 480 nm is 1.2 or less. The polarizing plate has a hue b value of 4 or less. The protective film has a water-vapor permeability of 100 g/m&#xb7;day or less.

A polarizing film, comprising a polarizer; transparent protective films with a water-vapor permeability of 150 g/m2/24 hours or less provided on both sides of the polarizer; and adhesive layers each interposed between the polarizer and one of the transparent protective films, wherein the adhesive layers are formed by applying an active energy ray to an active energy ray-curable adhesive composition containing a radically polymerizable compound, and the transparent protective films are bonded to the polarizer with the adhesive layers.

Polarized film, optical film, and image display device

A polarizing plate includes: a polyvinyl alcohol-based polarizer; and transparent protective films provided on both surfaces of the polyvinyl alcohol-based polarizer with an adhesive layer interposed between each of the transparent protective films and the polyvinyl alcohol-based polarizer. A first transparent protective film contains a (meth)acrylic resin and an ultraviolet absorber, the (meth)acrylic resin having an unsaturated carboxylic acid alkyl ester unit and a glutarimide unit represented by the general formula (1), having an imidization ratio of 2.5 to 5.0% and an acid value of 0.10 to 0.50 mmol/g, and having an acrylic ester unit of less than 1% by weight. A second transparent protective film contains a cycloolefin-based resin. Rand Reach independently represent hydrogen or an alkyl group; and Rrepresents an alkyl group, a cycloalkyl group, or an aryl group.

Polarizing plate and liquid crystal display device

A method for manufacturing a polarizing plate, the method comprising bonding a first transparent protective film and a second transparent protective film to both sides of a polarizer with an adhesive layer interposed between the polarizer and each of the first and second transparent protective films, wherein the first and second transparent protective films have different elasticities (elastic modulus&#xd7;thickness (&#x3bc;m)), the three films are pressure-bonded by being simultaneously allowed to pass between a pair of rolls, a direction in which the polarizer is fed and allowed to pass between the pair of rolls is inclined toward the high-elasticity film. The polarizing plate obtained by the method can be suppressed the occurrence of bubbles between the polarizer and the transparent protective films.
