Abstract

Acrylic resin is used as a protection film of a polyvinyl alcohol polarizer film to compose a polarizer plate, wherein the glass transition temperature of the acrylic resin is higher than 50° C. A preparation method of the polarizer plate is also disclosed.

Claims

1. A preparation method of a polarizer plate, the preparation method comprising:

preparing an acrylic resin solution having a solid content of 20 wt % to 50 wt %, wherein a glass transition temperature of the acrylic resin is higher than 50°

C.;

coating the acrylic resin solution to form an acrylic resin protection film on a release substrate; and

laminating the acrylic resin protection film, a polarizer film, and a second protection film to form a polarizer-plate, wherein the polarizer film between the acrylic resin protection film and the second protection film.

2. The preparation method of claim 1, further comprising adding a cross-linking agent into the acrylic resin solution to cross-link the acrylic resin.

3. The preparation method of claim 1, wherein the acrylic resin protection film is formed by coating, extruding, casting, or screen printing on a release substrate.

4. The preparation method of claim 1, wherein a method of laminating the acrylic resin protection film, a polarizer film, and a second protection film is thermolaminating.

5. The preparation method of claim 1, further comprising standing the polarizer plate at 20°

C. to 60°

C. to increase the glass temperature of the acrylic resin protection film.

7. The preparation method of claim 1, wherein the second protection film is selected from the group consisting of acrylic resin, triacetate cellulose, cycloolefin polymer, poly(methyl methacrylate), and polyethylene terephthalate.

9. The method of claim 1, wherein the acrylic resin protection film is selected from the group consisting of methyl methacrylate, methacrylic acid, acrylic acid, 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate and a combination thereof.

10. A polarizer plate made by the method of claim 1.

6. The preparation method of claim wherein the polarizer film comprises a stretched polyvinyl alcohol film.

8. A method of preparing a polarizer plate, the method comprising:

laminating an acrylic resin protection film and a polyvinyl alcohol polarizer film by thermolaminating, wherein a glass transition temperature of the acrylic resin protection film is higher than 50°

C.

11. A polarizer plate made by the method of claim 8.
