Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of optical thin films. More specifically, it relates to a polymerizable composition, a polarizing film and a method for preparing the polarizing film, a display element, and a display. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, in flat panel display devices (FPDs), both liquid crystal displays (LCDs) and organic light-emitting diode (OLED) displays require polarizing films to obtain polarized light. The most widely used polarizing films consist of a polarizing layer formed by orienting dichroic pigments such as iodine onto a polyvinyl alcohol-based resin film, and a protective layer formed from materials such as a triacetyl cellulose film. In recent years, flat panel display devices have been continuously developing towards thinner thicknesses. This necessitates a continuous reduction in the thickness of polarizing films, requiring the development of films suitable for thinner display devices. In recent years, coated polarizing films formed from polymeric liquid crystals and dichroic dyes have been disclosed; however, these films cannot simultaneously achieve high transmittance and high polarization, i.e., high transmittance results in low polarization, and vice versa. Therefore, developing a polarizing film that simultaneously possesses high transmittance and high polarization is an urgent problem to be solved. Summary of the Invention
