Referring to FIG. 1, a liquid crystal display 10 includes a liquid crystal display panel 200 having a first surface and a second surface, and displaying an image by using light, a first polarizing plate 100 disposed on the first surface of the liquid crystal display panel 200, a second polarizing plate 300 disposed on the second surface of the liquid crystal display panel 200, and a backlight assembly 400 for providing light L to the liquid crystal display panel 200.
The liquid crystal display panel 200 includes an array substrate 210, an opposing substrate 220 coupled with the array substrate 210, a liquid crystal layer 230 interposed between the array substrate 210 and the opposing substrate 220, and a sealant 240 for coupling the array substrate 210 and the opposing substrate 220. The array and opposing substrates 210 and 220 face each other.
The array substrate 210 includes a first base substrate 212 in which a plurality of pixel. areas for displaying an image is defined, a thin film transistor 213 formed on each, pixel area, a pixel electrode 214 formed in each pixel area and electrically connected with the thin film transistor 213, and an insulating layer 215 formed on the first base substrate 212 and covering the thin film transistor 213.
The opposing substrate 220 is provided on the array substrate 210. The opposing substrate 220 includes a second base substrate 221, a color filter layer 222 disposed on a lower surface of the second base substrate 221 and expressing a predetermined color by using light, and a common electrode 223 formed on the color filter layer 222 and outputting a common voltage. The liquid crystal layer 230 may adjust transmissivity of light L provided from the backlight assembly 400 according to an electric field formed between the pixel electrode 214 and the common electrode 223.
The second polarizing plate 300 is disposed between the liquid crystal display panel 200 and the backlight assembly 400, The second polarizing plate 300 polarizes light L emitted from the backlight assembly 400 and provides the polarized light to the liquid crystal display panel 200.
The first polarizing plate 100 may polarize light emitted from the liquid crystal display panel 200 in a direction orthogonal to the second polarizing plate 300. Hereinafter, a structure of the first polarizing plate 100 will be described in more detail.
FIG. 2 is a perspective view illustrating the first polarizing plate of the liquid crystal display according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view taken along line III-III of FIG. 2 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.
Referring to FIG. 2, the first polarizing plate 100 of the liquid crystal display 10 may be an optical sheet having a quadrangular shape as illustrated in FIG. 2. However, the shape of the first polarizing plate 100 is not limited to the quadrangular shape.
Referring to FIG. 3, the first polarizing plate 100 includes a polarizing layer 110, an infrared reflective layer 120, a phase difference layer 130, a surface treatment coating layer 140, a passivation layer 150, and an adhesive layer 160.
The infrared reflective layer 120 is disposed on one side of the polarizing layer 110, and the phase difference layer 130 is disposed on one side of the infrared reflective layer 120. For example, the first polarizing plate 100 includes a structure in which the polarizing layer 110, the infrared reflective layer 120, and the phase difference layer 130 are stacked on each other.
The polarizing layer 110 may have a transmissive axis, in which light is transmissive, and linearly polarize and emit light incident from the outside in the same direction as the transmissive axis thereof. The polarizing layer 110 may be formed of, but is not limited to, an elongated polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)-based film in which dichroic dye is adsorbed and cultivated. A thickness of the polarizing layer 110 may be about 5 μm to about 40 μm. However, the thickness of the polarizing layer 110 is not limited thereto.
The infrared reflective layer 120 is a layer for allowing visible rays to pass through, and reflecting infrared rays (heat rays) having a specific wavelength. Here, the infrared rays may be light (electromagnetic waves) having a wavelength of about 750 mn or more, The infrared reflective layer 120 may have a reflective band of a specific wavelength range. For example, a reflective band of the infrared reflective layer 120 may be a predetermined wavelength band within a range of about 750 nm to about 3 μm in to reflect near-infrared rays. However, the reflective band is illustrative, and the present invention is not limited thereto.
The phase difference layer 130 is a layer for changing a polarization state of light travelling trough it. For example, the phase difference layer 130 may be a quarter wave plate (QWP) having a λ/4 plate property, which converts linearly polarized light into circularly polarized light. The phase difference layer 130 may emit the large amount of light to the outside by a method of reversing a phase of moving light and assigning a phase difference. Accordingly, the liquid crystal display panel 200 may advantageously exhibit a high luminance property.
Alternatively, the phase difference layer 140 may include a half wave plate (HWP) having a λ/2 plate property, which shifts the polarization direction of linearly polarized light. Alternatively, the phase difference layer 140 may be formed of a combination of the QWP and the HWP.
When the phase difference layer 140 is implemented by using the QWP or the HWP, the QWP or the HWP may include a cyclo olefin polymer (COP) film, a tri-acetyl cellulose (TAC) film, a polycarbonate (PC) film, and the like. The COP film, the TAC film, and the PC film may be a film elongated in left and right, and front and rear directions, or a film elongated in a slope direction. The COP film, the TAC film, and the PC film may have thicknesses of about 15 μm to about 45 μm.
The QWP and the HWP may include a liquid crystal compound which is coated on a layer. Since the liquid crystal compound is birefringent (or birefractive), the liquid crystal compound may perform the functions of the QWP and the IMP. When the QWP and the HWP are implemented by using the liquid crystal compound as described above, each of the QWP and the HWP may have a thickness of about 2 μm.
The infrared reflective layer 120 may be attached to at least one of the polarizing layer 110 and the phase difference layer 130 using a primer layer, which will be described in detail below.
The surface treatment coating layer 140 is a layer to reduce reflection from the display device 10 to increase contrast of an image displayed by the display device 10, and may be disposed on one side of the phase difference layer 130 and surface treated with at least one of anti-glare, anti-reflective, and hard coating. The coating layer 160 and the phase difference layer 140 may be attached to the passivation layer 150 and the phase difference layer 130, respectively, using pressure sensitive adhesives (PSA), which are not shown in FIG. 3, but the present invention is not limited thereto.
The passivation layer 150 may protect the polarizing layer 110. The passivation layer 150 is disposed on the other side of the polarizing layer 110 as illustrated in FIG. 3. The passivation layer 150 may have a phase compensating function. In this case, the passivation layer 150 may include a phase difference compensating film. For example, the phase difference compensating film may be disposed in a surface of the passivation layer 150. Alternatively, the passivation layer 150 may be formed of a material having a non-optical property. For example, the passivation layer 150 does not change a polarization state of the linearly polarized light by the polarizing layer 110.
For example, the passivation layer 150 may be a film including a thermoplastic resin, such as a polyester-based resin including polyethylene terephthalate, polyethylene isophthalate, and polybutylene terephthalate, a cellulose-based resin including diacetyl cellulose and triacetyl cellulose, a polycarbonate-based resin, an acryl-based resin including polymethyl(meta) acrylate and polyethyl(meta) acrylate, a styrene-based resin including polystyrene and acrylonitrile-styrene copolymer, a polyolefin resin including polyethylene, polypropylene, and cyclo-based or norbornene-based structure, a polyolefin-based resin including an ethylene propylene copolymer, a vinyl chloride-based resin, a poly amide-based resin including nylon and aromatic polyamide, an imide-based resin, a polyether sulfone-based resin, a sulfone-base resin, a polyetherkethone-based resin, a polyphenylene sulfide resin, as vinyl alcohol-based resin, a vinylidene chloride resin, a vinyl butyric resin, an arylate-based resin, a polyoxymethylene resin, and an epoxy-based resin, and also be a film including a blended material of the thermoplastic resins. Further, the passivation layer 150 may also include a film formed of a thermosetting resin or an ultraviolet curable resin, such as a (meta)acryl-based resin, a urethane-based resin, an epoxy-based resin, and a silicone-based resin.
The adhesive layer 160 may be attached to an upper surface of the second base substrate 221 to serve to fix the polarizing plate 100 to the liquid crystal display panel 200. Although not shown in FIG. 1, an adhesive layer may be used to attach the second polarizing plate 300 to the first base substrate 212.
The mutual adhesion of the polarizing layer 110, the infrared reflective layer 120, and the phase difference layer 130 described above will be described in detail below.

The infrared reflective layer 120 may allow visible rays VR to pass through, and reflect infrared rays (heat rays) IR having a specific wavelength.
The first primer layer 180 attaches the infrared reflective layer 120 to the phase difference layer 130, For example, the infrared reflective layer 120 is attached to the phase difference layer 130 through the first primer layer 180 to increase adhesive force and surface hardness, compared to the attachment using only the PSAs.
The second primer layer 170 attaches the infrared reflective layer 120 to the polarizing layer 110. The infrared reflective layer 120 is attached to the polarizing layer 110 through the second primer layer 170 to increase adhesive force and surface hardness, compared to the attachment using only the PSAs.
The first primer layer 180 and the second primer layer 170 may be formed by a primer treatment process. The primer treatment may serve to increase attachment force of a general polymer film with a polymer film, a UV resin, and the like by performing a polymer-treatment onto the general polymer film. A polymer material used in the primer treatment may be an acryl-based material, an ester-based material, a urethane-based material, or a siloxane-based material, and a water soluble polymer material for preventing a fire danger.
The primer treatment process may be performed by a method of applying the aforementioned polymer material on a base, which is to be primer treated, and coating the base by using a coater.
The first primer layer 180 and the second primer layer 170 may have thicknesses of about 3 nm to about 300 nm. For example, the first primer layer 180 may have a thickness of about 30 nm or more. If the first primer layer 180 has a thickness less than about 30 nm, the first primer layer 180 may have small increase in adhesive force.
The infrared reflective layer 120 is attached to the phase difference layer 130 and the polarizing layer 110 using the first primer layer 180 and the second primer layer 170 disposed on both sides thereof, respectively.
