Further, it is another object of the present invention to provide a polarizing film obtained by the production method of the present invention, an optical film using the same, and an image display device using the polarizing film or the optical film. .
- the production method of the present invention is a method for producing a polarizing film, which comprises a swelling step, a dyeing step, a crosslinking step, a stretching step, and a washing step.

More preferably 3% or more and 30% or less, more preferably 5% or more and 25% or less, and still more preferably 7% or more and 22% or less. If the curvature force is less than S3%, the effect of suppressing shear bending can be obtained, but the effect of stretching in the TD direction may be insufficient. If it exceeds 35%, the running property is deteriorated, so that it is easy to meander, and the stretching at the center of the roll becomes strong, so that it is difficult to obtain a uniform stretching effect in the film plane. However, it is preferable that the curvature is appropriately adjusted according to the thickness and hardness of the film to be conveyed.

- the stretching ratio in the TD direction at this time is 1.03 times or more and 1.26 times. It is more preferably 1.06 times or more and 1.21 times or less. If the stretching in the TD direction is less than 1.03 times, stretching in the TD direction is inadequate and the effect of making the in-plane uniformity is difficult to obtain. 1.When a crown roll exceeding 26 times is used On the contrary, it is not preferable because the possibility of in-plane optical characteristic variation increases.
- the method for producing a polarizing film of the present invention includes a dyeing step of dyeing a raw film (a strip-shaped polymer film) and a stretching step of stretching the dyed film.
- the point is to have a stretching process in the TD direction. Therefore, the other steps, ie, the swelling step, the crosslinking step, and the washing step are optional steps. Further, the TD stretching step is performed in at least one of the above-described steps.

- the degree of saponification is preferably at least 75 mol%, more preferably at least 98 mol%, from the viewpoint of solubility in water. . and more preferably in the range of 8 mol 0/0.
- the PVA-based film may be produced by any method such as a casting method, a casting method, and an extrusion method of casting a stock solution dissolved in water or an organic solvent. Can be used as appropriate.
- the phase difference value at this time is preferably 5 nm to 100 nm.
- the in-plane retardation variation of the PVA-based film as the raw film is preferably as small as possible. In m, it is preferably 10 nm or less, more preferably 5 nm or less.
- the polarizing film according to the present invention preferably has a single transmittance power of at least 3.0% when measured with the polarizing film alone, and more preferably in the range of 43.0 to 45.0%. .
- the single transmittance can be measured by the method described in Examples below.
- a dry stretching method and a wet stretching method are generally used.
- a wet stretching method is used.
- an appropriate method can be used according to the conditions.For example, the polymer film as a raw film is swollen, dyed, crosslinked, stretched, washed with water, The drying process is generally performed by a series of manufacturing steps. In each of these treatment steps except for the drying treatment step, each treatment is performed while being immersed in a bath having various solution powers.
- each of the swelling, dyeing, cross-linking, stretching, washing, and drying treatments are performed in each treatment step, and several treatments are performed simultaneously in one treatment step. Some of the processing need not be performed.
- the stretching treatment may be performed after the dyeing treatment, or may be performed simultaneously with the swelling / dyeing treatment, or may be performed after the stretching treatment.
- the stretching process in the MD direction can be performed by any appropriate method without limitation. For example, in the case of roll stretching, a method of performing stretching by a difference in peripheral speed between rolls is used. Further, an additive such as boric acid, borax or potassium iodide may be appropriately added to each treatment.
- the polarizing film according to the present invention may contain boric acid, zinc sulfate, zinc chloride, potassium iodide, and the like, if necessary. Further, in some of these treatments, a water washing treatment may be performed for each treatment which may be appropriately stretched in the MD or TD direction by a conventionally known method.
- crowns such as a tapered crown shape and a radial crown shape (for example, see FIG. 1) whose diameter increases with the force S whose outer peripheral surface is directed from both ends toward the center portion are used.
