| 摘要 |
The present invention relates to an azo compound represented by the following formula (1), [wherein, A represents a phenyl group which may have a substituent, R 1 to R 6 each independently represent a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group having a carbon atom number of 1 to 5, an alkoxy group having a carbon atom number of 1 to 5, a sulfo group, or an alkoxy group having a sulfo group and a carbon atom number of 1 to 5, and X represents an amino group which may have a substituent, a benzoylamino group which may have a substituent, a phenylamino group which may have a substituent, a phenylazo group which may have a substituent, or a naphthotriazole group which may have a substituent] or/and a salt thereof and to a polarizing film and a polarizing plate which contain it. The polarizing plate of the present invention using the above-described azo compound has a high polarization ratio and a high contrast, causes less color-leakage in a visible light region, is excellent in optical performance and durability, and can be widely used in liquid crystal displays such as liquid crystal projectors, and the like The formula (1) |
