Abstract

The present invention relates to a polarizing plate including a water-based adhesive layer, a primer layer, and a polyethylene terephthalate protection film sequentially provided on at least one surface of a polarizer, in which the water-based adhesive layer is formed by using a water-based adhesive including a polyvinyl alcohol-based resin, an amine-based metal compound, and a pH adjuster, and the pH adjuster includes epoxy (meth)acrylate, alcohol, and acid, and a method for manufacturing the same.

Claims

a water-based adhesive layer, a primer layer including an acryl-based unit, and a polyethylene terephthalate protection film sequentially provided on at least one surface of a polarizer,

wherein the water-based adhesive layer is applied to the at least one surface of the polarizer, and the primer layer is in contact with the polyethylene terephthalate protection film and the water-based adhesive layer,

wherein the polarizer is a polyvinyl alcohol-based film, a partially formalized polyvinyl alcohol-based film, or an ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer-partially saponified film, where molecular chains containing an iodine-based compound or a dichromatic polarizing material are aligned in a predetermined direction,

wherein the water-based adhesive layer is formed by using a water-based adhesive including a polyvinyl alcohol-based resin, an amine-based metal compound, and a pH adjuster,

wherein the water-based adhesive has a pH of 4 to 9, and comprises 1 to 50 parts by weight of the amine-based metal compound and 0.0001 to 5 parts by weight of the pH adjuster, based on 100 parts by weight of the polyvinyl alcohol-based resin, and

wherein the pH adjuster comprises 0.001 to 10 parts by weight of epoxy (meth)acrylate, 10 to 50 parts by weight of alcohol, and 30 to 80 parts by weight of acid, based on 100 parts by weight of the pH adjuster.

2. The polarizing plate of claim 1, wherein the polyvinyl alcohol-based resin included in the water-based adhesive is a polyvinyl alcohol-based resin containing an acetoacetyl group.

3. The polarizing plate of claim 1, wherein the epoxy (meth)acrylate is glycidyl methacrylate, the alcohol is methanol, and the acid is hydrochloric acid.

4. The polarizing plate of claim 1, wherein the primer layer includes the acryl-based unit and a polyester unit.

5. The polarizing plate of claim 4, wherein the primer layer further includes a styrene-based unit.

6. The polarizing plate of claim 1, wherein the polyethylene terephthalate protection film is a stretched polyethylene terephthalate film.

7. The polarizing plate of claim 6, wherein an in-plane retardation value of the stretched polyethylene terephthalate film is 4000 nm to 10000 nm.

8. The polarizing plate of claim 6, wherein the stretched polyethylene terephthalate film is provided on one surface of the polarizer, and a triacetyl cellulose film, a cycloolefin polymer film, a norbornene film, a polycarbonate film, an acryl film, or a polyethylene terephthalate film is provided on the other surface of the polarizer.

9. The polarizing plate of claim 8, wherein the triacetyl cellulose film is provided on the other surface of the polarizer.

10. The polarizing plate of claim 9, wherein a cohesive layer is formed on a surface of the triacetyl cellulose film, which is opposite to a lateral surface of the polarizer.

11. The polarizing plate of claim 1, further comprising:

a low refraction coating layer on a surface of the polyethylene terephthalate protection film, which is opposite to a surface facing the primer layer.

15. An image display comprising:
