Abstract
A method of manufacturing a polarizer is provided that makes it possible to manufacture a polarizer prevented from curling even when a liquid is brought into contact with a hydrophilic polymer film by being sprayed. A method of manufacturing a polarizer includes a swelling step A for swelling a hydrophilic polymer filmby bringing it into contact with a swelling liquid, a dyeing step B for dyeing the hydrophilic polymer filmby bringing it into contact with a dye liquidcontaining a dichroic material, and a crosslinking/stretching step C for crosslinking the hydrophilic polymer filmby bringing it into contact with a crosslinking liquidand further stretching it. In the method, the contact with the swelling liquid in the swelling step A is carried out in the gas phase by spraying the swelling liquidonto both surfaces of the hydrophilic polymer film
