  • Patent number: 9507202
    Abstract: A polarization plate includes a first protective film, a polarizer, and a second protective film in this order, in which the first protective film is a film including a (meth)acryl-based resin, a thickness of the first protective film is in a range of 20 ?m to 30 ?m, a thickness of the second protective film is in a range of 1.5 times to 1.8 times of the thickness of the first protective film, and a humidity dimensional change ratio of the second protective film in the direction orthogonal to an absorption axis of the polarizer is in a range of 0.45% to 0.8%.

  • Patent number: 9279993
    Abstract: An optical film includes a transparent film having a thickness of 10 to 150 ?m and a first layer on a first surface of the transparent film. The first layer has an average in-plane refractive index that is highest of average refractive indices of the transparent film and a layer disposed on the first surface, and the average in-plane refractive index of the first layer is higher than average refractive indices of the transparent film and the layer other than the first layer disposed on the first surface by 0.02 or more, wherein the average in-plane refractive index of the first layer is higher than the average refractive index of the transparent film by 0.02 or more, provided that the layer disposed on the first surface is the first layer alone, and the first layer has an optical thickness D satisfying: 260×N?190?65 nm?D?260×N?190+65 nm (N is an integer of 6 to 12).

  • Patent number: 8896789
    Abstract: Disclosed is an optical film in which a minute interference unevenness is reduced. The optical film comprises a transparent film having a thickness of 10 ?m to 150 ?m, and a first layer and a second layer, in this order, on the transparent film, wherein values of in-plain mean refractive indices thereof satisfy the formula: the second layer>the first layer>the transparent film; the difference in in-plane mean refractive indices between the first layer and the second layer and the difference in in-plane mean refractive indices between the first layer and the transparent film are each 0.02 or more; and the optical thickness D of the first layer satisfies the formula: 270×N?150?75 nm?D?270×N?150+75 nm (1?N?8 where N is a natural number).
