RELEASE FILM

摘要

The present invention provides a release film comprising a polyester film which is capable of realizing a high-accuracy inspection of a polarizing plate without undergoing any of problems such as difficulty in detection of foreign matters or defects and likelihood of overlooking thereof when inspecting the polarizing plate by a Cross-Nicol method. The present invention relates to (i) a release film for a polarizing plate which comprises a polyester film and a release layer formed on one surface of the polyester film by a coating/stretching method, wherein a haze of the release film is 7 to 18%, and an L value of the release film is not more than 77 as measured form a side of the release layer by a reflection method; and (ii) a release film for a polarizing plate, comprising a polyester film and a release layer formed on one surface of the polyester film by a coating stretching method, wherein a surface roughness (Ra) of the release film is 11 to 25 nm, and an image clarity value of the release film is not less than 90%.
