The quantum criticality and entanglement properties are investigated in the one-dimensional spin-1/2 transverse field Ising model with staggered Dzyaloshinsky-Moriya interaction by utilizing the infinite-time evolving block decimation method. In this model, the staggered Dzyaloshinsky-Moriya interaction does not lead any new phase, while it only appears a phase transition line between Néel phase and paramagnetic phase. The behaviors of measurements of information illustrate the quantum phase transition and the existence of factorized points. The factorization phenomena is observed in the transverse Néel phase detecting by the entanglement quantities, in which the double degenerate ground state in transverse Néel phase is preserved by the Dzyaloshinsky-Moriya interaction also evidencing from the fidelity map. From the perspective of magnetism, the existence of chiral order and transverse Néel order suggests the helical magnetic structure induced by Dzyaloshinsky-Moriya interaction. The critical exponents and central charge keep invariant and convinced that the phase transitions belong to the Ising universality class. In contrary to the systems confined within central charge c=1, although the competition between the Dzyaloshinsky-Moriya interaction and external field changes the phase transition and entanglement properties, the quantum criticality seems independent of Dzyaloshinsky-Moriya interaction.
