Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Provided are a polarizer that resists red discoloration in a heat resistance test even when it has a small thickness, and a polarizing plate including the polarizer. The polarizer has a thickness less than or equal to 10 μm and a retardation Rpva variation within 0.2 nm/mm in the transmission axis direction.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A polarizer comprising a polyvinyl alcohol-based resin and a dichroic dye oriented in the polyvinyl alcohol-based resin, the polarizer having a thickness less than or equal to 10 μm and a variation of retardation of polyvinyl alcohol at a wavelength of 1000 nm within 0.2 nm/mm in a transmission axis direction, the retardation being a value determined from a fitting parameter obtained when retardation values at wavelengths greater than or equal to 850 nm are subjected to fitting of the Sellmeier formula by least squares method. 2. A polarizing plate comprising the polarizer according to claim 1 . 3. The polarizing plate according to claim 2 , further comprising a protective film bonded to at least one surface of the polarizer.
