Provided is a polarizer which is configured of a cellulose acylate film and a polarizing element and in which improved adhesion between the film and the polarizing element has been attained with a photocurable adhesive to inhibit the degree of polarization from decreasing. Also provided is a liquid-crystal display device equipped with the polarizer. The polarizer is a polarizer obtained by laminating a cellulose acylate film that comprises a cellulose acylate having a degree of substitution with an acyl group in the range of 2.0-2.5 and a glass transition temperature lowering agent to one surface of a polarizing element using a photocurable adhesive, and is characterized in that when the amount of the glass transition temperature lowering agent present in the laminating-side surface of the cellulose acylate film and the amount of the agent present in the other surface of the film, the amounts being determined using time-of-flight secondary-ion mass spectroscopy (TOF-SIMS), are expressed by dA and dB, respectively, then the value of r represented by equation (1) is 1.1 or larger. Equation (1) r = dA/dB |
