Abstract: In a polarizing plate grading method a first measurement range A1 is chosen on a polarizing plate. After conducting an initial measurement by putting the polarizing plate under X1° C. for Y1 hours, the first measurement range is measured to obtain the maximum chromatic value Z1max (NIT,cd/m), and the minimum chromatic value Z1min. The minimum value is subtracted from the maximum value to obtain the net chromatic difference value W1. The temperature change measurement is conducted by putting the polarizing plate under X2° C. for Y2 hours and, then, the recovery measurement is conducted on the polarizing plate by putting the polarizing plate under X3° C. for Y3 hours. A first measurement range is measured to obtain the maximum chromatic value Z3max and the minimum chromatic value Z3min. The minimum chromatic value is subtracted from the maximum chromatic value to obtain the net chromatic difference value W3.
