  • Patent number: 7511093
    Abstract: A polyvinyl alcohol polymer film includes a polyvinyl alcohol polymer and a plasticizer selected from the group consisting of ethylene glycol, glycerin, propylene glycol, diethylene glycol, diglycerin, triethylene glycol, tetraethylene glycol, and trimethylolpropane. The amount of the polyvinyl alcohol polymer eluted when a 10 cm square of the polyvinyl alcohol polymer film is left in 1 liter of water of 50° C. for 4 hours is from 1 to 100 ppm. The film has only a small number of defects and is useful as raw material for producing a polarization film.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6803411
    Abstract: Difference in retardation between two points separated by 1 cm along the TD direction of a polyvinyl alcohol polymer film 6 is 5 nm or less. The length of a surface for drying a polyvinyl alcohol polymer film 6 is 3 m to 200 m, and the water content of the polyvinyl alcohol polymer film 6 when peeled after passing through the drying surface is 50% by weight or less, in film formation.
