| abstract |
The present invention provides a polarizing plate which comprises an obliquely stretched polymer film obtained by subjecting a polymer film to an oblique stretching method capable of improving the yield in the step of punching out a polarizing plate, has excellent smoothness, can be produced simply and easily at a low cost, a production method of the polarizing plate, and a liquid crystal display using the polarizing plate. A long polarizing plate of the present invention comprises a transparent protective film, a polarizing film and an optical compensating layer, in this order, and the polarizing film has the absorption axis neither in parallel nor perpendicular to the phase lag axis of the transparent support. |
