  • Patent number: 11467328
    Abstract: Provided is a polarizer having a non-polarization portion with reduced shape unevenness. The polarizer of the present invention is a polarizer having a non-polarization portion, in which the non-polarization portion has a shape matching degree of 0.05 or less. In such polarizer, the number of portions where the shape of the non-polarization portion is distorted is small. Accordingly, when the non-polarization portion of the polarizer is used as, for example, a portion corresponding to a camera portion of an image display apparatus, alignment processability is improved and hence the alignment of the camera can be satisfactorily performed.

  • Patent number: 10914868
    Abstract: A primary object of the present invention is to provide a polarizing plate excellent in durability. A polarizing plate (100) according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a polarizer (10); and a protective film (21 and 22) arranged on at least one side of the polarizer (10). The polarizing plate (100) has a dimensional change ratio of ?0.2% or more in a transmission axis direction thereof when the polarizing plate (100) cut into a size measuring 100 mm by 100 mm is bonded to a glass plate with a pressure-sensitive adhesive and the following operation is repeated 100 times: the polarizing plate (100) bonded to the glass plate is left to stand under an atmosphere at ?40° C. for 30 minutes and then left to stand under an atmosphere at 85° C. for 30 minutes.
