Polarizing plate and method for producing same

Abstract

A polarizing plate excellent in durability. A polarizing plate 100 according to one embodiment includes a polarizer 10 ; and a pair of protective films 21, 22 respectively arranged on both main surfaces of the polarizer 10 , wherein the polarizing plate 100 has a polarizer void portion 30 formed by positioning of an end surface 10 a of the polarizer 10 inward in a plane direction relative to each of end surfaces 21 a, 22 a of the protective films 21, 22.

1 . A polarizing plate, comprising:
 a polarizer; and   a pair of protective films respectively arranged on both main surfaces of the polarizer,   wherein the polarizing plate has a polarizer void portion formed by positioning of an end surface of the polarizer inward in a plane direction relative to each of end surfaces of the protective films, and   the protective films are formed of a resin.   
     
     
         2 . The polarizing plate according to  claim 1 , wherein the polarizer void portion is formed in a region ranging from each of the end surfaces of the protective films to a position distant therefrom by 15 μm or more inward in the plane direction. 
     
     
         3 . The polarizing plate according to  claim 1 , wherein the polarizer void portion is formed in an end portion in an absorption axis direction. 
     
     
         4 . The polarizing plate according to  claim 1 , wherein the polarizing plate has formed therein a through-hole and the polarizer void portion is formed in a peripheral edge portion of the through-hole. 
     
     
         5 . The polarizing plate according to  claim 1 , wherein the polarizer void portion is formed in an outer edge portion. 
     
     
         6 . The polarizing plate according to  claim 5 , wherein the outer edge portion includes a site that forms a V-shape that is convex inward in the plane direction. 
     
     
         7 . A production method for the polarizing plate of  claim 1 , comprising a step of bringing a treatment liquid into contact with a laminate obtained by laminating a protective film on each of both main surfaces of a polarizer. 
     
     
         8 . The production method according to  claim 7 , wherein the treatment liquid contains water. 
     
     
         9 . The production method according to  claim 7 , wherein the treatment liquid has a liquid temperature of 50° C. or more. 
     
     
         10 . The production method according to  claim 7 , further comprising a step of forming the laminate into a desired shape through cutting and/or punching processing. 
     
     
         11 . The production method according to  claim 10 , wherein the cutting and/or the punching processing is performed by laser light irradiation. 
     
     
         12 . The production method according to  claim 11 , wherein the laser light comprises CO 2  laser light.
