Benefits of technology

[0012] A further object of the invention is to provide an optical film having scattering characters easily controllable, even and large in a large area.

Problems solved by technology

However, in consideration of environmental problems, use of halogenated hydrocarbon has been gradually restricted.
On the other hand, it has been difficult for organic solvents other than halogenated hydrocarbon to dissolve cellulose triacetate.
Further, it can give large birefringence to the discontinuous phase, as compared with other methods.

[0179] (Measurement of Refractive Index)

[0180] A photo-orienting polymer (PA-1, photo-isomerizing polymer) was dissolved in cyclohexanone to prepare a 30 wt. % solution. The solution was applied onto a plate of high refractive glass, dried and exposed to linearly polarized light (200 mW / cm.sup.2) at 435 nm for 10 seconds at room temperature. The refractive index of the, thus-formed film of photo-orienting polymer (optically anisotropic phase) was measured by means of an Abbe's refractometer, and thereby found 1.54 (ne) and 1.62 (n0) in the directions parallel and perpendicular to the polarizing direction, respectively.

[0181] (Production of Light-scattering Polarizing Element)

[0182] In 90 weight parts of water, 10 weight parts of gelatin was added and heated to dissolve. To the obtained solution, 2 weight parts of 30 wt. % cyclohexanone solution of photo-orienting polymer (PA-1, photo-isomerizing polymer) was added and emulsified by means of a homogenizer.

[0187] (Measurement of Refractive Index)

[0188] A photo-orienting polymer (PA-5, photo-dimerizing polymer) in the amount of 10 weight parts and a rod-like liquid crystal compound (N26) in the amount of 90 weight parts were mixed. The mixture was dissolved in dichloromethane to prepare a 30 wt. % solution. The solution was applied onto a plate of high refractive glass, dried, exposed to linearly polarized light (200 mW / cm.sup.2) at 365 nm for 10 seconds at room temperature, and then further exposed to non-polarized light (200 mW / cm.sup.2) at 310 nm for 10 seconds so that the molecules of the rod-like liquid crystal compound might be polymerized to fix the alignment. The refractive index of the thus-formed film (optically anisotropic phase) was measured by means of an Abbe's refractometer, and thereby found 1.66 (ne) and 1.54 (n0) in the directions parallel and perpendicular to the polarizing direction, respectively.

The mixture was dissolved in cyclohexanone to prepare a 30 wt. % solution. The solution was applied onto a plate of high refractive glass, dried, exposed to linearly polarized light (200 mW / cm.sup.2) at 435 nm for 10 seconds at room temperature, heated at 130.degree. C. for 30 minutes, and then further exposed to non-polarized light (200 mW / cm.sup.2) at 310 nm for 10 seconds so that the molecules of the rod-like liquid crystal compound might be polymerized to fix the alignment. The refractive index of the thus-formed film (optically anisotropic phase) was measured by means of an Abbe's refractometer, and thereby found 1.54 (ne) and 1.65 (n0) in the directions parallel and perpendicular to the polarizing direction, respectively.

Abstract

A polarizing plate comprises a light-scattering polarizing element and a light-absorbing polarizing element. The elements are so arranged that the polarizing transmission axis of the light-scattering polarizing element is essentially parallel to the polarizing transmission axis of the light-absorbing polarizing element. The light-scattering polarizing element has a polarizing layer comprising an optically isotropic continuous phase and an optically anisotropic discontinuous phase.

Description

[0001] The present invention relates to a polarizing plate comprises a light-scattering polarizing element, which selectively transmits polarized light and selectively reflects or scatters other polarized light, and a light-absorbing polarizing element, which selectively transmits polarized light and selectively absorbs other polarized light.[0002] The invention also relates to an image display element having the polarizing plate, which improves efficiency of light.[0003] The invention further relates to an optical film, which is advantageously used as a light-scattering polarizing element.BACKGROUND OF INVENTION[0004] Light emitted from natural light sources such as the sun is generally non-polarized (randomly polarized). Light emitted from artificial light sources such as a lamp is also generally non-polarized. A polarizing plate can extract polarized light (linearly, circularly or elliptically polarized light) from non-polarized light. The extracted polarized light can be used in...
