A polarizing plate is provided that has excellent polarization properties
and high surface hardness and can have a reduced thickness. The
polarizing plate includes a polarizer and a cured resin layer. The cured
resin layer is formed directly on at least one surface of the polarizer.
The cured resin layer is formed of a solventless photocurable composition
containing the following components (A), (B), and (C): (A) at least one
of a polyfunctional acrylic monomer and a polyfunctional methacrylic
monomer; (B) a photocurable prepolymer; and (C) a photopolymerization
initiator.
