- Example 1 except that the potassium iodide concentration and ethanol concentration in the aqueous solution used for the treatment solution of the first cleaning bath were changed as shown in Table 1, the same conditions as in Example 1 were used. A polarizer was produced.
- polarizing plates were produced by the following method.
- a 30 Hm-thick ratatonized polymethylmethacrylate film was used as the transparent protective film. A mixture of 60 parts by weight of imide was used.
- the adhesive was made into a transparent protective film with an adhesive applied to a thickness of 5 m using a micro gravure coater (gravure roll: # 300). . Subsequently, the transparent protective film with an adhesive was pasted on both sides of the polarizer with a roll machine. An electron beam was irradiated from the bonded transparent protective film side (both sides) to obtain a polarizing plate having a transparent protective film on both sides of the polarizer. The line speed was 15 m / min, the calo speed voltage was 200 kV, and the irradiation dose was 20 kGy.
- the obtained polarizing plate was cut into a length of 50 mm and a width of 150 mm, and the cycle was repeated for 150 cycles, with 1 cycle of cooling at ⁇ 40 ° C. for 1 hour and heating at 85 ° C. for 1 hour.
- the area (am 2 ) of cracks that occurred after 150 cycles was measured.
