Patent ID: 8754994

Claim:
A patterned polarization plate disposed on an observation-side surface of a display panel, comprising at least: a patterned phase difference layer in which at least one of slow axes and retardation are mutually different and stripe-shaped first and second phase difference patterns are mutually disposed; a patterned phase difference film having a film that supports the patterned phase difference layer; a polarization film; and a surface layer on a surface of the patterned phase difference film and on the opposite side to the surface on which the patterned phase difference layer is disposed, wherein a pattern cycle direction in the patterned phase difference layer and absorption axes in the polarization film are in parallel with each other, and wherein the surface layer exhibits an anisotropic scattering function with respect to light incident from a polarization film side and light emitted from the surface layer has an anisotropic scattering function that exhibits stronger scattering characteristics in the pattern cycle direction in the patterned phase difference layer than in an orthogonal direction to the pattern cycle direction.
