Accordingly, there is a demand for a thin film type polarizing plate which is made thin and light in order to thin the entire module of the liquid crystal display device.

As a method of thinning the polarizing plate, a method of coating a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer by omitting a protective film for protecting the polarizer has been mainly proposed. However, when the protective film is omitted, there is a high probability that cracks will occur in the polarizing element due to expansion and contraction occurring under harsh conditions in a case where a protective film is formed on both sides of the polarizer. International Publication No. 2009-145150 (hereinafter referred to as Patent Document 1) physically suppresses the occurrence of cracks in a polarizer by forming a protective layer having a tensile modulus of 100 MPa or more on one surface of a polarizer having a protective film omitted. However, since the polarizing plate of Patent Document 1 requires an additional UV-cured layer to be formed, it is difficult to select a material having excellent adhesion to a polarizing element and releasability to a base film at the same time, .

The stretching may include dry stretching, wet stretching, or a combination thereof. The " final stretching ratio " means the ratio of the length of the final polyvinyl alcohol-based polarizer to the initial length of the polyvinyl alcohol-based resin film. The polyene polarizer may be prepared by adding an acid catalyst to a polyvinyl alcohol-based resin film, followed by dewatering and drying.

A protective film 120 is formed on one surface of the polarizer 110 to protect the polarizer 110. In Fig. 1, the protective film 120 may be attached to one surface of the polarizer 110 by, for example, an optical adhesive layer (not shown).

A protective film 120 is the moisture permeability can be 30g / m ² / 24hr or less, in particular 5g / m ² / 24hr to about 20g / m ² / 24hr. In the above range, the protective film can prevent the external moisture from penetrating into the polarizer, thereby enhancing the durability of the polarizer at high temperature and high humidity.

The protective film 120 may have a front retardation (Ro) of 5,000 nm or more, specifically 5,000 nm to 15,000 nm, more specifically 10,100 nm to 12,000 nm at a wavelength of 550 nm. In the above-described range, iridescence spots can be prevented from occurring when the polarizing plate is used.

NZ = (nx - nz) / (nx - ny)

In the above formula (1), nx, ny and nz are refractive indices in the x-axis, y-axis and z-axis directions of the protective film at a wavelength of 550 nm, respectively.

The protective film 120 may have a thickness direction retardation (Rth) of the following formula 2 at a wavelength of 550 nm of 15,000 nm or less, specifically 10,000 nm to 12,000 nm. In this range, the effect of removing rainbow stains due to birefringence can be excellent.

The protective film 120 may have a refractive index nx in the x-axis direction and a refractive index ny in the y-axis direction of 1.65 or more at a wavelength of 550 nm, and the other value may be less than 1.65. In this case, the rainbow stain-preventing effect can be more excellent than when both nx and ny are less than 1.65 or both nx and ny are 1.65 or more. In one embodiment, nx can be 1.65 or more, specifically 1.67 to 1.75, and ny can be 1.45 to 1.55. In other embodiments, ny can be 1.65 or more, specifically 1.67 to 1.72, more specifically 1.69 to 1.72, and nx can be 1.45 to 1.55.

Specifically, the functional coating layer may be at least one of a hard coating layer, an antireflection layer, an antistatic layer, an antistatic layer, and a low reflection layer, but is not limited thereto. The functional coating layer may have a thickness of 1 탆 to 100 탆, specifically 1 탆 to 50 탆, more specifically 1 탆 to 20 탆. It is possible to provide an additional function to the polarizing plate without affecting the protective film in the above range and it may be advantageous to be used for the polarizing plate.

The protective film 120 may further include a primer layer on one surface in a direction in which the polarizer is attached. In this case, the adhesive layer can make the polarizer and the protective film more adhered to each other. The primer layer may be a hydrophilic surface modifying layer.

The resin for forming the primer layer may include at least one of a polyester-based resin and a polyvinyl acetate-based resin. The primer layer may have a thickness of 1 nm to 100 nm, specifically 1 nm to 50 nm, more specifically 1 nm to 20 nm.

The protective film 120 may have a thickness of 5 占 퐉 to 200 占 퐉, specifically 10 占 퐉 to 150 占 퐉, more specifically 50 占 퐉 to 100 占 퐉, for example, 20 占 퐉 to 80 占 퐉. Within this range, it is possible to suppress the warp of the polarizing plate together with the barrier layer, while being advantageous in providing a thin and lightweight thin film polarizer.

The protective film 120 is obtained by melt-extruding a protective film composition containing a polyester resin to prepare a resin film, stretching the melt-extruded resin film only in TD (transverse direction) by 2 to 10 times, And heat-treating and stretching the film at a lower degree of tension and then stretching the film by tension-relaxation.

The protective film composition comprising a polyester resin may further contain usual additives in addition to the polyester resin. Specifically, the additive may include an ultraviolet absorber, a leveling agent, an antistatic agent, and the like.

The ultraviolet absorber may include a conventional ultraviolet absorber that absorbs light having a wavelength of 200 nm to 400 nm. Specifically, the ultraviolet absorber may include at least one of phenolic, benzotriazole, salicylic, triazine, and oxamide. Particularly, since the phenol-based ultraviolet absorber has high compatibility with polyester resin, it can be mixed well with polyester resin, thereby suppressing elution in the polyester film and suppressing hole formation in the film or surface, .

The TD stretching ratio of the melt extruded resin film may be 3 to 8 times. In the stretching ratio range, the protective film can further improve the effect of reducing iridescence. At this time, the melt-extruded resin film can be stretched to 1 to 1.1 in MD. "MD stretching 1 to 1.1" means that there is no further stretching except mechanical stretching which is inevitably caused by moving the film to the MD by a roller or the like during TD stretching of the melt extruded resin film.

The stretching may include at least one of dry stretching, wet stretching. The stretching temperature is preferably in the range of (Tg - 20) DEG C to (Tg + 20) DEG C, more preferably 70 DEG C to 150 DEG C, more specifically 80 DEG C to 130 DEG C, 90 &lt; 0 &gt; C to 120 &lt; 0 &gt; C. In the stretching ratio and the temperature range, the extruded resin can be uniformly and uniformly stretched.

TD stretching by heat treatment and tension-relaxation may be to stretch the resin film only to TD, but crystallize and stabilize the film by heat treatment. The heat treatment may be performed at a temperature of Tg or more of the polyester resin, specifically at 100 to 300 캜 for 1 second to 2 hours. The TD stretching ratio due to tension-relaxation may be 0 to 3 times, specifically 0.1 to 2 times, more specifically 0.1 to 1 time. The retardation value of the protective film can be maintained in the temperature and the stretching ratio range, and the crystallization effect and stabilization effect of the film can be further improved.

The melt extruded resin film may further have at least one layer of a functional coating layer and a primer layer formed on at least one surface before TD stretching.

The adhesive layer 130 is formed on the other surface of the polarizer 110 to protect the polarizer 110 from the opposite side of the protective film 120 with respect to the polarizer 110 and to prevent external moisture from penetrating into the polarizer 110 The durability of the polarizing plate 100 at high temperature and high humidity can be increased. The adhesive layer 130 has high adhesion to the polarizer 110 and can be formed directly on the polarizer 110. [ In this case, the thickness of the polarizing plate 100 is more advantageous.

The thickness of the adhesive layer 130 may be 50 占 퐉 or less, specifically 3 占 퐉 to 30 占 퐉, more specifically 5 占 퐉 to 25 占 퐉. In the above range, it is advantageous to be used for a polarizing plate, and it is possible to suppress the warp of the polarizing plate due to an appropriate thickness ratio to the protective film.

The thickness ratio (thickness of the adhesive layer: protective film thickness) of the protective film 120 to the adhesive layer 130 may be 1: 0.1 to 1: 67. In this case, it is advantageous to form a thin polarizing plate in which the protective film is formed only on one side of the polarizer. Specifically, the thickness of the adhesive layer: protective film is 1: 0.3 to 1:50, more specifically 1: 1 to 1:30, such as 1: 1 to 1:10, 1: 1 to 1: : 1 to 1: 4.

 The (meth) acrylic acid monomer (a4) may be, for example, an acrylic acid monomer, a methacrylic acid monomer, or a mixture thereof. In this case, the degree of crosslinking can be further improved in the production of the (meth) acrylic copolymer.
