  • Patent number: 11892669
    Abstract: A polarizing plate and a display device including the same. The polarizing plate includes a retardation layer exhibiting ultraviolet blocking characteristics even in a state where the retardation layer does not include any ultraviolet absorber or light stabilizer. The polarizing plate can be used alone or in combination with an appropriate sunscreen or a light stabilizer as needed to selectively block ultraviolet rays in a region requiring blocking, without affecting display performance, such as color senses and image quality, of a display device. The polarizing plate can also be formed with a small thickness without requiring a separate ultraviolet blocking layer, and also has excellent durability, because the polarizing plate exhibits a certain ultraviolet blocking property even in the absence of an ultraviolet absorber or light stabilizer.

  • Patent number: 11409164
    Abstract: A light conversion member includes a light conversion film, a first gas barrier, and a first base material. The light conversion film converts color of light from a specific color. The first gas barrier is located on a side of the light conversion film where the light to be converted is incident. The first gas barrier includes one or more gas barrier layers that prevent moisture and gas from entering the light conversion film. The first base material is located on an opposite side of the first gas barrier from a face on which the light conversion film is located. The first base material transmits the light and holds the light conversion film and the first gas barrier. For a light of the specific color, a light transmittance of the first base material combined with the first gas barrier is higher than a light transmittance of the first base material alone.
