  • Publication number: 20190152204
    Abstract: A layered film includes first, second and third layers which are formed of first, second and third resins, respectively, and provided in this order. The second resin has a glass transition temperature that is lower than those of the first and third resins. The first and third resins have an indentation elastic modulus of 2200 MPa or more measured using a film of the first resin having a thickness of 100 ?m; and a water vapor transmission rate of 5 g/m2·day or less measured in accordance with JIS K7129 B (1992) using a film of the first resin having a thickness of 100 ?m. The layered film has a ratio of a sum of thicknesses of the first and third layers relative to a thickness of the second layer falling within a range of 1 or more and 4 or less.

  • Patent number: 8139181
    Abstract: Provided are a polarization plate which has a high mechanical strength, which does not impair a visibility even under a high temperature and high humidity, which is excellent in flexibility and abrasion resistance, and which reduces a visible disturbance such as color unevenness due to a size change, as well as a liquid crystal display device using the polarization plate. A film composed of a plurality of layers composed mainly of thermoplastic resins is used as a first protection film used for a visible side of the polarization plate, and at least one surface layer of this first protection film is composed mainly of an acrylic resin. Furthermore, a second protection film having a specific property is disposed at a side of a liquid crystal cell.
