Patent ID: 8755008

Claim:
A liquid crystal display that includes a liquid crystal cell and a first polarizing plate and a second polarizing plate respectively provided on each side of the liquid crystal cell, wherein the first polarizing plate and the second polarizing plate each includes a polyvinyl alcohol polarizing film and protective films provided on both sides of the polyvinyl alcohol polarizing film, the protective films that are provided on surfaces opposite to the liquid crystal cell of the first polarizing plate and the second polarizing plate each have a vapor transmissivity from 0.5 g/m 2 Day to 10 g/m 2 Day, and the protective films that are provided on surfaces abutting the liquid crystal cell of the first polarizing plate and the second polarizing plate each have a vapor transmissivity of more than 1,500 g/m 2 Day and 5,000 g/m 2 Day or less, and wherein the film having the vapor transmissivity from 0.5 g/m 2 Day to 10 g/m 2 Day contains a UV absorbing agent or a UV absorption layer is provided on an upper surface or a lower surface of the film having the vapor transmissivity from 0.5 g/m 2 Day to 10 g/m 2 Day.
