Abstract

Provided is a laminate comprising a thermoplastic resin substrate and a polyvinyl alcohol based resin layer formed on the thermoplastic resin substrate, being used to form a polarizing film of the polyvinyl alcohol based resin layer treated with a post-process comprising at least a dyeing step of dyeing the polyvinyl alcohol based resin layer with a dichroic material, the post-process being performed after the polyvinyl alcohol based resin layer formed on the thermoplastic resin substrate is stretched together with the thermoplastic resin substrate, wherein the polyvinyl alcohol based resin layer comprises a polyvinyl alcohol based resin and glycerin.

First claim

A laminate comprising a thermoplastic resin substrate and a polyvinyl alcohol based resin layer formed on the thermoplastic resin substrate, being used to form a polarizing film of the polyvinyl alcohol based resin layer treated with a post-process comprising at least a dyeing step of dyeing the polyvinyl alcohol based resin layer with a dichroic material, the post-process being performed after the polyvinyl alcohol based resin layer formed on the thermoplastic resin substrate is stretched together with the thermoplastic resin substrate,
wherein the polyvinyl alcohol based resin layer comprises a polyvinyl alcohol based resin and glycerin.

2 . The laminate according to claim 1 , wherein the post-process further comprises a final stretching step of stretching the polyvinyl alcohol based resin layer.

3 . The laminate according to claim 1 , wherein the molar ratio of the glycerin to the polyvinyl alcohol based resin is 1.0 or more and 15 or less.

4 . A stretched laminate comprising a thermoplastic resin substrate and a polyvinyl alcohol based resin layer formed on the thermoplastic resin substrate, being used to form a polarizing film of the polyvinyl alcohol based resin layer treated with a post-process comprising at least a dyeing step of dyeing the polyvinyl alcohol based resin layer with a dichroic material,
wherein the polyvinyl alcohol based resin layer comprises a polyvinyl alcohol based resin and glycerin, and the polyvinyl alcohol based resin layer formed on the thermoplastic resin substrate is stretched together with the thermoplastic resin substrate.

5 . The stretched laminate according to claim 4 , wherein the post-process further comprises a final stretching step of stretching the polyvinyl alcohol based resin layer.

6 . The stretched laminate according to claim 4 , wherein the molar ratio of the glycerin to the polyvinyl alcohol based resin is 1.0 or more and 15 or less.

7 . The stretched laminate according to claim 4 , wherein the polyvinyl alcohol based resin layer formed on the thermoplastic resin substrate is stretched in the air together with the thermoplastic resin substrate.

8 . The stretched laminate according to claim 7 , wherein the stretch ratio in the stretching in the air is 1.5 or more and 3.5 or less.

9 . The stretched laminate according to claim 8 , wherein the stretching temperature in the stretching in the air is 100° C. or higher and 150° C. or lower.

10 . The stretched laminate according to claim 4 , wherein the post-process comprises at least
a dyeing step of dyeing the polyvinyl alcohol based resin layer with a dichroic material to form a colored laminate, and an in-boric acid water stretching step of stretching the colored laminate in a boric acid aqueous solution.

11 . The stretched laminate according to claim 4 , wherein the polarizing film has a thickness of 10 μm or less.

12 . The stretched laminate according to claim 4 , wherein the polarizing film has a thickness of 7 μm or less.

13 . The stretched laminate according to claim 4 , wherein the polarizing film has a thickness of 5 μm or less.

14 . A roll of stretched laminate formed by winding the stretched laminate according to claim 4 , in a roll form.

15 . A manufacturing method of a stretched laminate including a thermoplastic resin substrate and a polyvinyl alcohol based resin layer formed on a thermoplastic resin substrate, being used to form a polarizing film of the polyvinyl alcohol based resin layer treated with a post-process including at least a dyeing step of dyeing the polyvinyl alcohol based resin layer with a dichroic material, comprising the steps of:
applying a polyvinyl alcohol based resin coating liquid containing glycerin to the thermoplastic resin substrate so as to form a laminate including the thermoplastic resin substrate and a polyvinyl alcohol based resin layer containing a polyvinyl alcohol based resin and glycerin, formed on the thermoplastic resin substrate; and stretching the laminate to form a stretched laminate.

16 . The manufacturing method of a stretched laminate according to claim 15 , wherein the post-process further comprises a final stretching step of stretching the polyvinyl alcohol based resin layer.

17 . The manufacturing method of a stretched laminate according to claim 15 , wherein the molar ratio of the glycerin to the polyvinyl alcohol based resin contained in the polyvinyl alcohol based resin layer included in the laminate is 1.0 or more and 15 or less.
