GB/T 31379.1-2025 is the English-translated version of 平板显示器偏光片测试方法 第1部分:理化性能.

GB/T 31379.1-2025 is the Chinese national standard covering measuring a display polarizer as a physical film rather than an optical one — the size, thickness and warpage, the peel force, the squareness and the direction of the absorption axis, the pencil hardness, the static generated when the film is torn off, and the water contact angle that governs how well the polarizer bonds to a touch panel, all under a stated laboratory atmosphere. The optical, bonding and weather resistance tests of the 2015 edition are gone from this part and belong to the later parts of the series. Part 1 of the series. Issued on 28 March 2025, it has been in force since 1 October 2025, replacing GB/T 31379-2015.

Foreword

This document is in accordance with the provisions of GB/T 1.1-2020 "Guidelines for standardization work Part 1: Structure and drafting rules for standardization documents" Drafting.

This document is part 1 of GB/T 31379 Test methods for polarizers for flat panel displays. GB/T 31379 has published the following part.

— Part 1: Physical and chemical properties.

This document replaces GB/T 31379-2015 "Test methods for polarizing films for flat panel displays (FPD)" and is consistent with GB/T 31379-2015.

In addition to structural adjustments and editorial changes, the main technical changes are as follows.

— Changed the scope (see Chapter 1, Chapter 1 of the 2015 edition);

— Added the term and definition of "polarizer" (see 3.1);

— Change the term "non-valid area" to "valid area" and redefine it (see 3.2, 3.1 of the 2015 edition);

— Deleted "Single transmittance", "Parallel transmittance", "Orthogonal transmittance", "Single wavelength transmittance", "Ultraviolet absorption performance" and "Polarization degree" The terms and definitions of “dichroic ratio”, “hue” and “haze” (see 3.5 to 3.13 of the 2015 edition);

— Changed the instruments and equipment (see Chapter 4, Chapter 4 of the 2015 edition);

— Added environmental conditions "air pressure 86kPa ~ 106kPa" (see 5.1);

— Changed the dimensional accuracy and revised it to "not less than 0.01mm" (see 5.3.2, 5.2.2 of the 2015 edition);

— Deleted the test methods for optical properties, bonding properties and weather resistance of polarizing films (see 5.3, 5.4 and 5.5 of the 2015 edition);

— Added test methods for right angle, absorption axis, pencil hardness, film tearing static electricity, and water contact angle (see 5.7~5.11).

Introduction

Polarizers are indispensable optical components for flat-panel displays. They can adjust the direction of light, increase contrast, block reflected light, etc.

With the development of technology, the application scope of flat panel displays is constantly expanding, and the performance requirements are gradually increasing.

There are also diversified demands for functions, such as using low water contact angle polarizers to improve the adhesion between touch screens and polarizers, and using low reflection Advertising screens with reflective polarizers can reduce the intensity of ambient light reflection to relieve consumers' visual fatigue.

Due to different performance requirements, improving the testing standards for polarizers is crucial to the independent development of polarizers in China.

GB/T 31379 is proposed to consist of 4 parts.

— Part 1: Physical and chemical properties. The purpose is to provide the size, thickness, warpage, peel force, straightness, absorption of polarizers for flat panel displays.

Test methods for physical and chemical properties such as axis, pencil hardness, film tearing static electricity, and water contact angle.

— Part 2: Optical properties. The purpose is to provide the transmittance, polarization, hue, reflectivity, haze, optical properties of polarizers for flat panel displays.

Testing methods for optical properties such as compensation value.

— Part 3: Reliability. The purpose is to provide polarizers with low temperature, high temperature, constant temperature and humidity, hot and cold shock, ultraviolet aging, bending, etc. Reliability testing method.

— Part 4: Surface properties. The purpose is to provide a test method for the surface properties of polarizers.
