Patent number: 7045216Abstract: A polarizing plate with which, not only suppression in a drop in polarization efficiency, but also with which hue shift and light leakage do not substantially occur, under a high humidity/high temperature environment is provided. The polarizing plate of the present invention includes a polyvinyl-alcohol-based polarizing film, a protective film mainly composed of a cyclic-olefin-based resin and laminated on at least one side of the polarizing film, and an anchor coat agent film and an adhesive layer interposed between the polarizing film and the protective film. The amount of change in optical in-plane retardation of the protective film is 5 nm or less, after 24 hours in an atmosphere of 80° C., and the wetting tension of the laminated surface is 500 ?N/cm (23° C.) or more. The anchor coat agent is made of polyester polyol and polyisocyanate, and the adhesive layer is made of polyvinyl-alcohol-based adhesive.Type: GrantFiled: December 28, 2000Date of Patent: May 16, 2006Assignees: Gunze Co., Ltd., Poratechno Co., Ltd.Inventors: Yoshinori Ishii, Takeshi Yamamoto, Takao Uesugi, Koichi Watanabe

Patent number: 6726995Abstract: A polarizing plate with which a drop in polarization efficiency, hue shift, and light leakage do not substantially arise, under a high humidity/high temperature environment is provided. The polarizing plate of the present invention comprises a polyvinyl-alcohol-based polarizing film, a protective film having thereon two anchor coat agent layers, mainly composed of a cyclic-olefin-based resin, laminated on at least one side of the polarizing film, with an adhesive. The amount of change in optical in-plane retardation of the protective film is 5 nm or less after 24 hours in an atmosphere of 80° C., and the wetting tension of the anchor coated surface of the protective film is 500 &mgr;N/cm (23° C.) or more. The anchor coat agent layers include a first layer made of polyisocyanate and polyester polyol and/or polyether polyol, and a second layer made of polyvinyl alcohol. The adhesive is made of polyvinyl alcohol.Type: GrantFiled: October 23, 2002Date of Patent: April 27, 2004Assignees: Gunze Co., LTD, Poratechno Co., Ltd.Inventors: Yoshinori Ishii, Takeshi Yamamoto, Takao Uesugi, Koichi Watanabe

Patent number: 6713166Abstract: To provide a laminate film having better shaping processability than conventional laminate films by disposing between the first resin layer 1 and the adhesive layer 3 the second resin layer 2 which has a Vicat softening point lower than that of the first resin layer, has a melting point lower than that of the first resin layer by 2° C. or more, is at least 0.5 times thicker than the first resin layer, and contains as the main component a propylene-&agr;-olefin copolymer. In addition, it becomes possible to provide the laminated structure 5 having the laminate film provided with the second resin layer 2 on the substrate 4. Hence, the present invention has great industrial significance.Type: GrantFiled: May 24, 2002Date of Patent: March 30, 2004Assignee: Gunze Co., Ltd.Inventor: Takeshi Yamamoto

Patent number: 6432910Abstract: Fibers are treated with fiber treating solutions comprising an animal protein hydrolysate, chitosan lactate and one or more kinds of quaternary ammonium salts. The fiber treating solutions provide a smooth, soft and supple feel due to a moisture-retaining property and physiological skin protecting effects. Underwear products has physiological skin protecting effects obtained by treating with these fiber treating solutions.Type: GrantFiled: January 12, 2001Date of Patent: August 13, 2002Assignees: Gunze Co., Ltd.Inventor: Momoki Nakagawa
