Patent number: 10061067Abstract: 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° 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° C. and humidity of 55%.Type: GrantFiled: June 20, 2016Date of Patent: August 28, 2018Assignee: NITTO DENKO CORPORATIONInventors: Tomohiro Yamashita, Mie Nakata, Shunsuke Murayama, Makiko Kimura
