Description

The present invention (α) relates to an optical laminate provided on the surface of a display such as a liquid crystal display (LCD) or plasma display (PDP), and in particular, an optical laminate for improving scratch resistance, chemical resistance and screen visibility. About.
The present invention (β) relates to a hard coat film, and more particularly to a hard coat film that can be preferably used on the surface of a display such as a liquid crystal display (LCD) or a plasma display (PDP).

  LCD is one of the various image display devices. With technological innovations related to high viewing angle, high definition, high speed response, and color reproducibility of LCDs, applications that use LCDs are also changing from notebook computers and monitors to televisions. It is changing to. The basic structure of an LCD is that a gap with a constant interval is provided between a flat glass plate having two transparent electrodes by a spacer, and a liquid crystal material is injected and sealed there to seal the flat glass plate. Polarizing plates are attached to the front and back surfaces. Since the polarizing plate is easily damaged, conventionally, a cover plate made of glass or plastic is attached to the LCD surface to prevent the polarizing plate attached to the LCD surface from being damaged. However, mounting a cover plate is disadvantageous in terms of cost and weight, and a polarizing plate having an optical functional layer treatment on the surface has been gradually used. The hard coat treatment is usually performed by providing a hard coat film in which a hard coat layer is provided on a transparent plastic film substrate on the polarizing plate surface.

  The optical functional layer is usually formed as a thin coating of about several μm on a transparent plastic film using an ionizing radiation curable resin such as a thermosetting resin or an ultraviolet curable resin. However, if the thickness of the optical functional layer is not sufficient, the surface of the optical functional layer is damaged due to the influence of the transparent plastic film substrate as a base. In LCD applications, a triacetyl cellulose (TAC) film is mainly used as a transparent plastic film substrate. In the above case, pencil hardness (JIS K5600) is a typical measurement method for evaluating scratch resistance of a hard coat surface. And about 2-3H was common.

  The spread of LCD and PDP in the TV market is remarkable, but general consumers of home TVs also handle these displays, as with conventional CRT TVs, due to strict handling (physical, mechanical, chemical stimulation, etc.) Load) is expected. For example, dust or fingerprints adhering to the display surface may be wiped with a rag soaked with glass cleaner (surfactant or organic solvent), or the child may rub or hit the surface with a toy. Etc. The cathode ray tube of CRT is made of glass with excellent chemical resistance, and the surface hardness is about 9H in pencil hardness, so the durability against these loads was sufficient. However, the surface of the hard coat film mounted on the display has a low pencil hardness and does not have sufficient chemical resistance, and improvements are required.

  In addition, when the hard coat film is attached to various image display devices, the light generated by the decrease in contrast due to the reflection of light on the display surface, that is, the hard coat film surface, and the variation in the minute thickness of the hard coat layer, etc. There has also been a problem that visibility is reduced due to interference unevenness (described later in detail). Therefore, the hard coat film is required to improve visibility in addition to the surface hardness.

  As a method of improving the surface hardness of the hard coat layer, a method of simply increasing the thickness of the hard coat layer can be considered. However, although the hardness is increased by the above-described method, wrinkles and curls are increased due to curing shrinkage of the hard coat layer, and the hard coat layer is liable to be cracked or peeled off. Thus, in recent years, several methods have been proposed for realizing a high hardness of the hard coat film and solving the problem of curling due to cracking of the hard coat layer and curing shrinkage (Patent Documents 1 to 4).

  Patent Document 1 proposes a protective film for a polarizing plate in which a cured coating layer (optical functional layer) made of a composition containing an ultraviolet curable polyol acrylate resin is formed on at least one surface of a transparent plastic film substrate. As the UV curable polyol acrylate resin, dipentaerythritol hexacrylate is mainly exemplified. When the resin is coated on a plastic film substrate, it is possible to secure a hardness of 4H or more by setting the thickness of the cured coating layer to 10 μm or more. It is difficult to suppress these simultaneously.

  In Patent Document 2, a buffer layer composed of one layer or multiple layers having a thickness of 3 to 50 μm is provided on at least one surface of a transparent plastic film substrate, and a hard coat layer having a thickness of 3 to 15 μm is further formed on the buffer layer. A hard coat film is proposed. The pencil hardness of each of the transparent plastic film substrate, the buffer layer, and the optical functional layer has an increased value in this order, and is thus designed to have a pencil hardness of 4H to 8H as the entire hard coat film. . However, Patent Document 2 requires a buffer layer in addition to the optical function layer, and requires at least a two-layer structure. Therefore, the production process is complicated and the production cost is increased.

  In Patent Document 3, a hardened optical functional layer containing inorganic or organic internally crosslinked ultrafine particles is provided as a first hard coat layer on at least one surface of a transparent plastic film or sheet substrate, and then a second hard A coating layer provided with a thin film of clear cured resin that does not contain inorganic or organic internal crosslinked particles is proposed. However, Patent Document 3 has the disadvantages that the production process is complicated and the production cost is increased by adopting a two-layer structure as in Patent Document 2.

  Patent Document 4 discloses a hard coat film in which at least one hard coat layer is formed on at least one surface of a transparent plastic film substrate, and the hard coat layer forming material contains inorganic fine particles per 100 parts by weight of resin. It has been proposed that it contains 20 to 80 parts by weight, the entire hard coat layer has a thickness of 10 μm to 50 μm, and the surface has a pencil hardness of 4H or more. However, with the hard coat layer forming material containing inorganic fine particles in the above ratio with respect to the resin such as polyester acrylate or polyurethane acrylate used in Patent Document 4, the hard coat layer has a thickness of 10 μm or more on the transparent plastic film substrate. Is formed, it is difficult to balance the securing of sufficient hardness and curling suppression due to curing shrinkage.

  As a method for improving the visibility of a hard coat film, a hard coat film having a hard coat layer containing urethane acrylate, isocyanuric acid acrylate, and inorganic light-transmitting fine particles on a transparent plastic film substrate has been proposed (Patent Literature). 5). This is to prevent reflection of the hard coat film and light interference fringes by combining the difference in refractive index between the transparent plastic substrate and the hard coat layer with the inorganic translucent fine particles. Although the reflection of the hard coat film is reduced by adjusting the refractive index of the hard coat layer with the inorganic translucent fine particles, the film formability is poor because the compatibility and dispersibility of the hard coat layer constituent materials are insufficient. Unfortunately, since the hard coat layer thickness varies slightly, it is difficult to overcome the interference fringes. In addition, the processability was not sufficient due to the poor film formability.

  In order to improve the pencil hardness of the surface, the hard coat layer must be made thicker. However, if the hard coat layer is made thicker, the adhesion between the hard coat layer and the transparent plastic film substrate deteriorates. Had problems that occurred. The problem is partly due to the shrinkage of the ionizing radiation curable resin when the ionizing radiation curable resin, which is a constituent material of the hard coat layer, is cured to form the hard coat layer. As a measure against curling and wrinkling, a proposal has been made to fill the hard coat layer with inorganic fine particles such as silica (Patent Document 6). In the case of using as a polarizing substrate, a saponification treatment must be performed in advance before forming a polarizing plate. However, the saponification treatment has a problem that silica is eluted in the saponification solution and the effect of silica is lost.

The hard coat film is provided on the surface of the housing, the display surface, or the like. By improving the surface hardness, it is possible to prevent each component member from being damaged. The hard coat film has one or more hard coat layers laminated on the resin film, or has another layer between the resin film and the hard coat layer.
The hard coat film is formed by applying an ionizing radiation curable resin such as a thermosetting resin or an ultraviolet curable resin as a hard coat layer on the resin film and then curing the resin. The thickness of the hard coat layer is about several μm, and the surface hardness of the hard coat layer is a pencil hardness (JIS K5400), generally H to 3H.
Further, from the viewpoint of effectively utilizing the resin film, it is common to form a hard coat layer so as to cover all or one side of the resin film.

As a method for improving the surface hardness of the hard coat layer, there is a method for increasing the thickness of the hard coat layer. However, in this method, although the surface hardness of the hard coat layer is improved, cracks and peeling of the hard coat layer are likely to occur, and at the same time, the manufacturing process of the hard coat film and various secondary processing processes using the hard coat layer Since problems such as curling occur, it was not practically usable. The problems such as wrinkles and curls are more likely to occur as the surface hardness of the hard coat layer increases. The problems such as wrinkles and curls are particularly problematic when used for optical applications. For example, when a hard coat film is used as a protective film for a polarizing plate, it is common to subject the hard coat film to a saponification (acid / alkali) treatment. The surface of the hard coat film is modified by the saponification treatment, and the applicability of the adhesive or pressure-sensitive adhesive is improved. Thereby, the adhesiveness of a polarizing substrate and a hard coat film improves via an adhesive agent or an adhesive. However, the saponification treatment has a problem that the hard coat film is cracked and wrinkles and curls are likely to occur due to curing shrinkage.
Moreover, productivity improves by producing a hard-coat film by Roll-to-Roll. However, when a process for producing a hard coat film by Roll-to-Roll or a secondary processing process (for example, saponification treatment) is performed, the hard coat film is easily cracked and wrinkled or curled due to curing shrinkage. Had a problem.

  Further, for example, Patent Document 1 proposes a protective film for a polarizing plate in which a cured coating film layer composed of a composition containing dipentaerythritol hexaacrylate and silica fine particles is formed on at least one surface of a transparent resin film. When the resin is applied on a transparent resin film substrate, a pencil hardness of 4H or more can be ensured by setting the thickness of the cured coating film layer to 10 μm or more. However, when the thickness of the cured coating film layer is 10 μm or more, it is difficult to suppress the occurrence of curling due to curing shrinkage. The occurrence of this curl is more likely to occur due to the saponification treatment.

  In Patent Document 2, a buffer layer composed of one or multiple layers having a thickness of 3 to 50 μm is provided on at least one surface of a plastic base film, and a hard coat layer having a thickness of 3 to 15 μm is further formed on the buffer layer. A hard coat film is proposed. The pencil hardness of each of the transparent plastic film substrate, the buffer layer, and the hard coat layer has an increased value in this order, and is thereby designed to have a pencil hardness of 4H to 8H as the entire hard coat film. . However, in the invention disclosed in Patent Document 2, a buffer layer is required in addition to the hard coat layer, which has a drawback of placing a load on the production process.

  The present invention (α) has an excellent surface hardness, suppresses curling due to cracking and curing shrinkage, has good screen visibility, and can be used suitably for TV applications such as LCDs and PDPs. It aims at providing a laminated body.

  Conventionally, there has been no optical laminate that has high surface hardness, is less likely to curl and wrinkle, and has excellent chemical resistance (for example, alkali treatment in saponification treatment). Therefore, the present invention (α) is an optical functional layer (for example, hard coat) having excellent scratch resistance, high surface hardness (pencil hardness), excellent chemical resistance, little curling, and excellent antifouling property. It is an object to provide an optical laminate having a layer and an antiglare layer. Further, even when the optical laminate is subjected to saponification treatment, an optical laminate in which translucent fine particles (for example, silica) are eluted in the saponification solution and the effect of the translucent fine particles is not lost. The purpose is to provide.

The present invention (β) is a layer structure in which a hard coat layer is laminated on a resin film, and a hard coat film that hardly curls even when the pencil hardness of the hard coat layer is 4H or more. The purpose is to provide.
In addition, the present invention (β) provides a hard coat film in which curling is unlikely to occur even when a process for producing a hard coat film by Roll-to-Roll or a secondary processing process (for example, saponification treatment) is performed. The purpose is to do.

  The present invention (α) is the following inventions (1) to (4).

The present invention (1) is an optical laminate in which an optical functional layer is provided on one or both sides of a translucent substrate, directly or via another layer,
The optical functional layer has a thickness of 3 to 50 μm,
Containing a translucent resin and translucent fine particles,
Resin in which the translucent resin contains ionizing radiation curable polyfunctional acrylate and 0.05 to 50% by weight of ionizing radiation curable fluorinated acrylate with respect to the total weight of the solid component in the optical functional layer It is formed by irradiating ionizing radiation with respect to a composition, It is an optical laminated body characterized by the above-mentioned.

  The present invention (2) is the optical laminate according to the invention (1), wherein the fluorinated acrylate is unevenly distributed on the surface side of the optical functional layer from the translucent substrate side.

  This invention (3) is an optical laminated body of the said invention (1) or (2) which has a polarizing substrate further.

  The present invention (4) is an antiglare film characterized in that the optical functional layer according to the invention (1) or (2) has a surface uneven structure.

  The present invention (β) solves the above problems by the technical configurations of the following inventions (5) to (9).

(5) A hard coat layer is laminated on a resin film, the thickness of the hard coat layer is A (mm), and the width from the edge of the resin film to the edge of the hard coat layer (ear removal) A hard coat film, wherein A × 1500 <B (where 0.003 mm ≦ A ≦ 0.020 mm), where B is (width).

(9) An antiglare film, wherein the hard coat layer according to any one of the inventions (5) to (8) has a surface uneven structure.

  In the present specification, “optical laminate” and “hard coat film” mean the same thing.

  According to the present invention (1), as a result of the polyfunctional acrylate and the fluorinated acrylate being contained in the resin composition of the optical functional layer, the surface hardness is improved, and further, slipperiness is imparted to the surface of the optical functional layer. Therefore, there is an effect that the scratch resistance is improved. Moreover, since the resin composition of the optical functional layer contains a fluorinated acrylate, there is an effect of improving chemical resistance and antifouling property due to the water repellent effect of the component. Furthermore, since the light-transmitting fine particles are dispersed between the molecules of the resin matrix, there is an effect that curling can be prevented by reducing curing shrinkage of the UV resin such as polyfunctional acrylate.

  According to the present invention (2), since the fluorinated acrylate is unevenly distributed on the surface side, the fluorinated acrylate component is likely to be exposed on the surface, and the improvement of the scratch property accompanying the improvement of the slipperiness of the surface, The effect of improving chemical resistance and antifouling property due to the effect becomes more prominent. In addition, since a fluorine-containing material is generally expensive, it is economically advantageous because the amount of fluorine-containing material added can be reduced by unevenly distributing fluorine on the surface of the optical functional layer.

  According to the present invention (3), even when the saponification treatment that is essentially performed when the polarizing substrate is provided, the light-transmitting fine particles (for example, silica) dispersed in the optical functional layer are saponified. Since it hardly dissolves in the liquid, the anti-curl effect is maintained.

According to the present invention (β), the hard coat film of the present invention is thicker than the conventional hard coat film in which the hard coat layer is formed so as to cover all or one side of the resin film. Since the relational expression of A (mm) and the width B (mm) from the edge of the resin film to the edge of the hard coat layer is A × 1500 <B (where 0.003 mm ≦ A ≦ 0.020 mm), the resin It is possible to provide a hard coat film having a layer structure in which one hard coat layer is laminated on a film, and curling is unlikely to occur even when the pencil hardness of the hard coat layer is 4H or higher.
In addition, the present invention (β) provides a hard coat film in which curling is unlikely to occur even when a process for producing a hard coat film by Roll-to-Roll or a secondary processing process (for example, saponification treatment) is performed. can do.

  According to the present invention (6) and (7), it is possible to provide a hard coat film in which cracks and wrinkles due to curing shrinkage hardly occur.

FIG. 1 is a view showing a curl measuring method according to the present invention (α). It is a top view of the hard coat film of the present invention (β). It is sectional drawing of the hard coat film of this invention ((beta)). It is a figure which shows the measuring method of the curl which concerns on this invention ((beta)), Comprising: (a) Top view, (b) The elements on larger scale of a side view.

  Hereinafter, the optical laminate according to the present invention (α) will be described.

  The optical laminate according to the best mode has a basic configuration in which an optical functional layer is laminated on a translucent substrate. The optical functional layer according to the best mode is preferably located on the outermost surface of the optical laminate and used as a hard coat layer or a low refractive index layer. Here, the optical functional layer may be laminated on one side of the translucent substrate or on both sides. Furthermore, the optical layered body may have other layers. Here, as other layers, for example, a polarizing substrate, a hard coat layer (for example, provided when an optical functional layer is used as a low refractive index layer), and other function-imparting layers (for example, an antistatic layer, a near infrared ray). (NIR), absorption layer, neon cut layer, electromagnetic wave shielding layer, optical functional layer). The position of the other layer is, for example, on the light-transmitting substrate opposite to the optical functional layer in the case of a polarizing substrate, and on the optical functional layer in the case of another functional layer. The lower layer. Further, the optical functional layer may function as a low reflection layer. Hereafter, each component (a translucent base | substrate, an optical function layer, etc.) of the optical laminated body which concerns on this best form is explained in full detail.

  First, the translucent substrate according to the best mode is not particularly limited as long as it is translucent, and glass such as quartz glass and soda glass can also be used, but polyethylene terephthalate (PET), triacetyl cellulose ( TAC), polyethylene naphthalate (PEN), polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), polycarbonate (PC), polyimide (PI), polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), Various resin films such as cycloolefin copolymer (COC), norbornene-containing resin, polyethersulfone, cellophane, and aromatic polyamide can be suitably used. These films can be unstretched or stretched. In particular, a biaxially stretched polyethylene terephthalate film is preferable from the viewpoint of excellent mechanical strength and dimensional stability, and unstretched triacetyl cellulose (TAC) is preferable from the viewpoint of very little in-plane retardation. In addition, when using for PDP and LCD, these PET and TAC films are more preferable.

  The higher the transparency of these translucent substrates, the better. However, the total light transmittance (JIS K7105) is 80% or more, more preferably 90% or more. Further, the thickness of the translucent substrate is preferably thinner from the viewpoint of weight reduction, but considering the productivity and handling properties, the thickness of the translucent substrate is in the range of 1 to 700 μm, preferably 20 to 250 μm. Is preferred. When the optical laminate of the present invention is used for LCD applications, it is preferable to use TAC having a thickness of 20 to 80 μm as the translucent substrate. In the optical layered body of the present invention, curling can be prevented particularly when 20 to 80 μm TAC is used as a light-transmitting substrate, so that it is suitably used for LCD applications that are required to be thin and lightweight. be able to.

  In addition, surface treatment such as alkali treatment, corona treatment, plasma treatment, sputtering treatment, saponification treatment, application of surfactant, silane coupling agent, etc., or surface modification treatment such as Si deposition on the translucent substrate. By performing this, the adhesion between the translucent substrate and the optical functional layer can be improved. By performing these treatments, the adhesion between the translucent substrate and the optical functional layer is improved, so that the scratch resistance, surface hardness and chemical resistance in the optical functional layer are improved.

  Next, the optical functional layer according to the best mode will be described in detail. The translucent resin included in the optical functional layer according to the best mode is to irradiate ionizing radiation to a resin composition containing an ionizing radiation curable polyfunctional acrylate and an ionizing radiation curable fluorinated acrylate. It is formed by. The blending amount of the ionizing radiation curable polyfunctional acrylate is preferably 20 to 80% by weight and more preferably 30 to 60% by weight with respect to the total weight of the solid component in the optical functional layer. The compounding amount of the ionizing radiation curable fluorinated acrylate is essentially 0.05 to 50% by weight, preferably 0.2 to 50% by weight, based on the total weight of the solid component in the optical functional layer. 5 to 50% by weight is more preferable, and 10 to 40% by weight is more preferable. When the blending amount of the ionizing radiation curable polyfunctional acrylate is less than 20% by weight, the crosslink density of the optical functional layer is lowered and the pencil hardness is deteriorated. On the other hand, if it exceeds 80% by weight, curling tends to occur. When the blending amount of the ionizing radiation curable fluorinated acrylate is less than 0.05% by weight, the water repellency and slipperiness are lowered, and the scratch resistance, antifouling property and chemical resistance are deteriorated.

Here, it is preferable that the fluorinated acrylate is unevenly distributed on the surface side from the translucent substrate side. By having the said structure, effects, such as scratch resistance, chemical-resistance, and antifouling property, become more remarkable. In particular, it is more preferable that the fluorinated acrylate gradually exists from the translucent substrate side to the surface side of the optical functional layer. In the present specification and claims, in the optical functional layer, a component derived from a fluorinated acrylate (a component obtained by curing the fluorinated acrylate by ionizing radiation) and a component derived from a polyfunctional acrylate (the polyfunctional acrylate is cured by ionizing radiation) The component) is simply referred to as “fluorinated acrylate” and “polyfunctional acrylate”. In the present invention, the fact that the fluorinated acrylate is unevenly distributed on the surface side from the translucent substrate side means that the ratio of the fluorine element present in the range from the surface of the optical functional layer containing the fluorinated acrylate to a depth of 5 nm is 10%. That's it. The fluorine element ratio is preferably 20% or more. Although an upper limit is not specifically limited, For example, it is 80% or less. The fluorine element ratio is measured by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (hereinafter referred to as “ESCA”). In ESCA, the abundance ratio of fluorine is calculated from the peak areas of fluorine, carbon, oxygen, silicon and the like obtained at a depth of 5 nm.
Further, when the range from the surface of the optical functional layer to the depth of 200 nm is measured by ESCA in increments of 5 nm, fluorine present at every depth of 5 nm obtained by measuring from the surface of the optical functional layer to the depth of 5 nm in increments of 5 nm. The value obtained by dividing the element ratio by the average value of the ratio of fluorine elements existing from the depth of 5 nm to the depth of 200 nm on the surface of the optical functional layer is preferably 10 or more, and more preferably 20 or more. Although an upper limit is not specifically limited, For example, it is 1000 or less. By setting the value to 10 or more, fluorine atoms can be efficiently present on the surface of the optical functional layer. Therefore, even when an expensive fluorine material is used, an optical laminate excellent in economic efficiency is provided. can do.

  Here, the polyfunctional acrylate is not particularly limited as long as the number of (meth) acryloyloxy groups in one molecule is 2 or more. For example, bis-phenol A EO adduct di (meth) acrylate, ethylene Glycol di (meth) acrylate, polyethylene glycol di (meth) acrylate, 1,6-hexanediol di (meth) acrylate, trimethylolpropane di (meth) acrylate, trimethylolpropane di (meth) acrylate, glycerin di (meth) Acrylate, pentaerythritol tri (meth) acrylate, pentaerythritol tetra (meth) acrylate, dipentaerythritol tri (meth) acrylate, dipentaerythritol tetra (meth) acrylate, dipentaerythritol penta (meth) Acrylate, dipentaerythritol hexa (meth) acrylate, trimethylolpropane tri (meth) acrylate, pentaerythritol tri (meth) acrylate hexanemethylene diisocyanate urethane polymer, pentaerythritol tri (meth) acrylate hexamethylene diisocyanate urethane prepolymer, pentaerythritol Tri (meth) acrylate toluene diisocyanate urethane prepolymer, pentaerythritol tri (meth) acrylate isophorone diisocyanate urethane prepolymer, dipentaerythritol hexaacrylate, and the like can be used. These monomers can be used alone or in combination of two or more. The polyfunctional acrylate is preferably trifunctional or higher, more preferably tetrafunctional or higher.

  Although it does not specifically limit as fluorinated acrylate, For example, 2- (perfluorodecyl) ethyl methacrylate, 2- (perfluoro-7-methyloctyl) ethyl methacrylate, 3- (perfluoro-7-methyloctyl) -2 -Hydroxypropyl methacrylate, 2- (perfluoro-9-methyldecyl) ethyl methacrylate, 3- (perfluoro-8-methyldecyl) -2-hydroxypropyl methacrylate, 3-perfluorooctyl-2-hydroxylpropyl acrylate, 2- ( Perfluorodecyl) ethyl acrylate, 2- (perfluoro-9-methyldecyl) ethyl acrylate, pentadecafluorooctyl (meth) acrylate, unadecafluorohexyl (meth) acrylate, nonafluoropenti (Meth) acrylate, heptafluorobutyl (meth) acrylate, octafluoropentyl (meth) acrylate, pentafluoropropyl (meth) acrylate, trifluoro (meth) acrylate, triisofluoroisopropyl (meth) acrylate, trifluoroethyl (meta ) Acrylate and the following compounds (i) to (xxx) can be used. The following compounds all show the case of acrylate, and any acryloyl group in the formula can be changed to a methacryloyl group.

  In the compounds (i) to (xxx), R in the following general formula (1) describes only a hydrogen atom, and any one of the hydrogen atoms in the methylene group bonded to the carbonyl carbon is methyl. It can be changed on the basis.

  These can be used alone or in combination. Of the above fluorinated acrylates, polyfunctional fluorinated acrylates are preferred. Here, the polyfunctional fluorinated acrylate means one having 2 or more (preferably 3 or more, more preferably 4 or more) (meth) acryloyloxy groups.

  The translucent resin according to the best mode preferably includes at least one ε-caprolactone-modified isocyanurate having the following chemical formula 7 as an optional component. The ε-caprolactone segment has good affinity with the resin, inorganic pigment, and additives to be mixed. For example, production efficiency is improved in the coating process of the optical functional layer, and film formation is stable in the film formation process. Contributes to reduction of film thickness variation. In addition, the entire optical functional layer is made flexible, and is effective in reducing internal stress (suppression of curling).

  In addition to ε-caprolactone-modified isocyanurate in the optical functional layer, a thermosetting resin and a radiation curable resin can be mixed and used, but the optical functional layer can be cured with radiation. Is more advantageous and preferable in terms of production efficiency, energy cost, and the like. Examples of radiation curable resins include monomers having radical polymerizable functional groups such as acryloyl group, methacryloyl group, acryloyloxy group, methacryloyloxy group, and cationic polymerizable functional groups such as epoxy group, vinyl ether group, oxetane group, A composition in which an oligomer and a prepolymer are used alone or appropriately mixed is used. Examples of the monomer include methyl acrylate, methyl methacrylate, methoxypolyethylene methacrylate, cyclohexyl methacrylate, phenoxyethyl methacrylate and the like. As oligomers and prepolymers, polyester acrylate, polyurethane acrylate, phenylene glycidyl ether hexamethylene diisocyanate urethane prepolymer, phenyl glycidyl ether triene diisocyanate urethane prepolymer, epoxy acrylate, polyether acrylate, alkit acrylate, melamine acrylate, silicone acrylate, etc. Acrylate compounds, unsaturated polyesters, tetramethylene glycol diglycidyl ether, propylene glycol diglycidyl ether, neopentyl glycol diglycidyl ether, bisphenol A diglycidyl ether and epoxy compounds such as various alicyclic epoxies, 3-ethyl-3 -Hydroxymethyloxetane, 1,4-bis { (3-ethyl-3-oxetanyl) methoxy] methyl} benzene, and di [1-ethyl (3-oxetanyl)] oxetane compounds such as methyl ether.

  The blending amount of ε-caprolactone-modified isocyanurate is not particularly limited, but is preferably in the range of 5 to 50% and more preferably in the range of 10 to 30% in terms of the total solid content ratio of the constituent materials forming the optical functional layer. When the amount of the ε-cap mouth lactone-modified isocyanurate is small, the adhesion between the translucent substrate and the optical functional layer is lowered or the curl is strengthened. Further, due to the deterioration of film formability, interference unevenness (interference unevenness due to subtle thickness unevenness of the optical functional layer) occurs, and visibility is deteriorated. Furthermore, wrinkles and cracks may occur in the optical functional layer due to the thickening of the optical functional layer. On the other hand, when there are too many compounding quantities, the abrasion resistance of an optical function layer will fall.

The radiation that cures the system using the radiation curable resin may be any of ultraviolet rays, visible rays, infrared rays, and electron beams. Further, these radiations may be polarized or non-polarized. In particular, ultraviolet rays are suitable from the viewpoints of equipment cost, safety, running cost, and the like. As the ultraviolet energy beam source, for example, a high-pressure mercury lamp, a halogen lamp, a xenon lamp, a metal halide lamp, a nitrogen laser, an electron beam accelerator, a radioactive element, and the like are preferable. The amount of irradiation with the energy radiation source of accumulative exposure at an ultraviolet wavelength of 365 nm, preferably in the range of ^{100~5,000mJ / cm 2, 300~3,000mJ / cm} 2 irradiation amount, of less than 100 mJ / cm ² Since the curing becomes insufficient, the hardness of the optical functional layer may be lowered. Moreover, when it exceeds 5,000 mJ / cm < ² >, an optical function layer will color and transparency will fall. When curing by ultraviolet irradiation, it is necessary to add a photopolymerization initiator. A conventionally well-known thing can be used as a photoinitiator. For example, benzoin and its alkyl ethers such as benzoin, benzoin methyl ether, benzoin ethyl ether, benzoin isopropyl ether, N, N, N, N-tetramethyl-4,4′-diaminobenzophenone, benzylmethyl ketal; acetophenone, 3 -Acetophenones such as methylacetophenone, 4-chlorobenzophenone, 4,4'-dimethoxybenzophenone, 2,2-dimethoxy-2-phenylacetophenone, 1-hydroxycyclohexyl phenyl ketone; methylanthraquinone, 2-ethylanthraquinone Anthraquinones such as 2-amylanthraquinone; xanthone; thioxanthones such as thioxanthone, 2,4-diethylthioxanthone, 2,4-diisopropylthioxanthone; Ketals such as tophenone dimethyl ketal and benzyl dimethyl ketal; benzophenones such as benzophenone and 4,4-bismethylaminobenzophenone; and others, 1- (4-isopropylphenyl) -2-hydroxy-2-methylpropane-1- ON etc. can be illustrated. These can be used alone or as a mixture of two or more. The use amount of the photopolymerization initiator is preferably about 5% or less, more preferably 1 to 4% in terms of the total solid content ratio with respect to the radiation curable resin composition.

  A polymer resin can be added and used in the radiation-curable resin composition system as long as the polymerization and curing are not hindered. This polymer resin is a thermoplastic resin that is soluble in an organic solvent used in the optical functional layer coating described later, and specifically includes acrylic resins, alkyd resins, polyester resins, cellulose derivatives, and the like. The resin preferably has an acidic functional group such as a carboxyl group, a phosphoric acid group, or a sulfonic acid group.

  In addition, additives such as a leveling agent, a thickener, an antistatic agent, a filler, and an extender can be used. The leveling agent has a function of uniforming the tension on the surface of the coating film and correcting defects before forming the coating film, and a substance having lower interfacial tension and surface tension than the radiation curable resin composition is used.

  The optical functional layer is mainly composed of a cured product such as the above-described resin composition, but the formation method is to apply a paint composed of the resin composition and an organic solvent, volatilize the organic solvent, and then apply radiation ( For example, it is cured by electron beam or ultraviolet irradiation) or heat. As the organic solvent used here, it is necessary to select an organic solvent suitable for dissolving the resin composition. Specifically, in consideration of coating suitability such as wettability to a light-transmitting substrate, viscosity, and drying speed, an alcohol type, an ester type, a ketone type, an ether type, or an aromatic hydrocarbon is used alone or in combination. Solvents can be used.

  The thickness of the optical functional layer needs to be in the range of 3 to 50 μm, more preferably in the range of 5 to 30 μm, and still more preferably in the range of 7 to 20 μm. When the optical functional layer is thinner than 3 μm, the scratch resistance is deteriorated and interference unevenness appears remarkably, which is not preferable. When it is thicker than 50 μm, curling occurs due to curing shrinkage of the optical functional layer, micro cracks occur on the surface of the optical functional layer, adhesion to the translucent substrate is reduced, and light transmittance is further reduced. Or drop. And it becomes a cause of the cost increase by the increase in the amount of required coating materials accompanying the increase in film thickness.

  The translucent fine particles contained in the optical functional layer include, for example, organic resins made of acrylic resin, polystyrene resin, styrene-acrylic copolymer, polyethylene resin, epoxy resin, silicone resin, polyvinylidene fluoride, polyfluorinated ethylene resin, and the like. Translucent fine particles, inorganic translucent fine particles (inorganic) such as titanium oxide, silicon oxide (silica), aluminum oxide, zinc oxide, tin oxide, zirconium oxide, calcium oxide, indium oxide, antimony oxide, or a composite thereof Ultrafine particles) can be used. In addition, these fine particles may be used individually by 1 type, and may use 2 or more types together. As the light-transmitting fine particles, it is preferable to use crosslinked organic light-transmitting fine particles and inorganic light-transmitting fine particles. Thereby, while improving the pencil hardness of the hard coat film after hardening, curling can be prevented. In addition, it is preferable to use silica as the light-transmitting fine particles because the refractive index of the optical functional layer is reduced and interference unevenness affecting the image quality of the display is reduced. Further, when silica is treated with a silicate-based material (for example, a silane coupling agent such as alkoxysilane having a functional group such as vinyl group, methacryl group, amino group, epoxy group, etc.), the silica is eluted during the saponification treatment. Can be prevented. The particle diameter of the translucent fine particles is preferably 1 to 100 nm, and more preferably 10 to 50 nm. When the particle size is smaller than 1 nm, the chemical resistance is lowered or the production cost of the particles is increased. When the thickness is larger than 100 nm, the optical characteristics such as a decrease in transmittance, an increase in haze, and a decrease in contrast occur. “Particle size” refers to the average value of the diameters of 100 particles measured with an electron microscope. Of the total number, the fine powder and coarse powder mixed in the production process of the fine particles are less than 5% (more preferably less than 1%). The blending amount of the translucent fine particles is preferably 5 to 70% by weight, and more preferably 10 to 50% by weight. When the blending amount is less than 5% by weight, the curl prevention effect and pencil hardness are lowered. When there are more compounding quantities than 70 weight%, scratch resistance will worsen. The translucent fine particles are preferably used in the form of a sol, which facilitates the formation of a paint and improves the dispersibility of the translucent fine particles in the paint. For example, alumina sol, silica sol, or the like can be used as the solubilized translucent fine particles. A method for forming the sol will be described later.

In addition, when a concavo-convex structure is formed on the surface of the optical functional layer by including translucent fine particles having an average particle size of 0.3 to 10 μm in the optical functional layer, it can be used as an antiglare layer. preferable. Thus, it can be used as an antiglare film. The refractive index of the light-transmitting fine particles having an average particle size of 0.3 to 10 μm is preferably 1.40 to 1.75. When the refractive index is less than 1.40 or more than 1.75, the light-transmitting substrate is used. Alternatively, the difference in refractive index with the resin matrix becomes too large, and the total light transmittance decreases. Further, the difference in refractive index between the translucent fine particles and the resin component is preferably 0.2 or less. The average particle diameter of the translucent fine particles is preferably in the range of 0.3 to 10 μm, and more preferably 1 to 8 μm. When the particle size is smaller than 0.3 μm, the antiglare property is lowered. When the particle size is larger than 10 μm, it is not preferable because glare occurs and the surface unevenness becomes too large and the surface becomes whitish. The ratio of the light-transmitting fine particles contained in the resin is not particularly limited, but it is preferably 1 to 20 parts by mass with respect to 100 parts by mass of the resin composition in order to satisfy the characteristics such as the antiglare function and the glare. It is easy to control the fine irregular shape and haze value on the surface of the optical functional layer. Here, “refractive index” refers to a measured value according to JIS K-7142. Further, “average particle diameter” refers to an average value of the diameters of 100 particles actually measured with an electron microscope.
That is, by making the optical functional layer (antiglare layer) containing translucent fine particles having a particle size of 1 to 100 nm and translucent fine particles having a particle size of 0.3 to 10 μm, the pencil hardness is improved, An optical laminate (antiglare film) imparted with curling prevention and antiglare properties can be provided.

  In the optical laminate of the present invention, the difference between the refractive index of the translucent substrate and the refractive index of the optical functional layer ([refractive index of the translucent substrate] − [refractive index of the optical functional layer]) is 0.10 or less. It is preferable that the refractive index of the optical functional layer be less than or equal to the refractive index of the translucent substrate. By controlling the refractive index difference to be in the above range, reflection of light on the surface can be suppressed to a low level.

  The refractive index can be controlled by appropriately incorporating inorganic translucent fine particles in the optical functional layer. The inorganic translucent fine particles have a function of adjusting the apparent refractive index of the optical functional layer according to the blending amount. As described above, it is preferable that the refractive index of the translucent substrate and the refractive index of the optical functional layer are approximate. Therefore, in the preparation of the optical functional layer forming material, the blending amount of the inorganic translucent fine particles is appropriately adjusted so that the difference between the refractive index of the translucent substrate and the refractive index of the optical functional layer is reduced. preferable. When the refractive index difference is large, a phenomenon called interference unevenness occurs in which reflected light of external light incident on the optical laminate exhibits a rainbow hue, and the display quality is deteriorated. In particular, three-wavelength fluorescent lamps have been greatly increased as fluorescent lamps in offices where an image display device including an optical laminate is frequently used. The three-wavelength fluorescent lamp has a characteristic that the emission intensity of a specific wavelength is strong and the object can be clearly seen, but it has been found that interference unevenness appears more significantly under this three-wavelength fluorescent lamp.

  In the present invention, a polarizing substrate may be laminated on a light transmitting substrate opposite to the optical functional layer. Here, the polarizing substrate uses a light-absorbing polarizing film that transmits only specific polarized light and absorbs other light, or a light reflective polarizing film that transmits only specific polarized light and reflects other light. I can do it. As the light-absorbing polarizing film, a film obtained by stretching polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinylene or the like can be used. For example, it can be obtained by uniaxially stretching polyvinyl alcohol adsorbed with iodine or a dye as a dichroic element. Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) film. As the light reflection type polarizing film, for example, two kinds of polyester resins (PEN and PEN copolymer) having different refractive indexes in the stretching direction when stretched are alternately laminated and stretched by several hundreds of extrusion techniques. "DBEF" manufactured by 3M, or a cholesteric liquid crystal polymer layer and a quarter-wave plate are laminated, and light incident from the cholesteric liquid crystal polymer layer side is separated into two circularly polarized light beams that are opposite to each other. Nitto Denko's “Nipox” and Merck's “Transmax”, which are configured to convert circularly polarized light that is transmitted through the cholesteric liquid crystal polymer layer and converted into linearly polarized light by a quarter-wave plate, and the like. .

  The light-transmitting substrate may be provided with an antistatic layer in order to prevent dirt such as dust that electrostatically adheres to the display surface. However, the antistatic layer is disposed other than the outermost surface. The antistatic layer is formed by depositing a metal oxide film such as aluminum or tin, or a metal oxide film such as ITO, by depositing, sputtering, or the like. Metal fine particles such as aluminum or tin, whisker, or metal oxide such as tin oxide is coated with antimony or the like. Polyesters such as fillers formed from doped fine particles, whiskers, 7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane and electron donors (donors) such as metal ions and organic cations It can be provided by a method in which it is dispersed in a resin, an acrylic resin, an epoxy resin or the like and provided by solvent coating, or a method in which polypyrrole, polyaniline or the like is doped with camphorsulfonic acid or the like is provided by solvent coating or the like. In the case of optical use, the transmittance of the antistatic layer is preferably 80% or more.

Furthermore, the optical functional layer can be used as a low reflection layer in order to improve contrast. In this case, it is preferable to provide a hard coat layer having a thickness of 3 to 50 μm as a lower layer. In that case, it is preferable to improve the wettability of the hard coat layer surface. By increasing the wettability, the affinity between the hard coat layer and the optical functional layer can be improved, and the adhesion between the layers can be improved. By performing corona treatment, plasma treatment or the like on the surface of the hard coat layer, wettability can be enhanced. As the wettability of the hard coat layer surface, the contact angle of water on the hard coat layer surface can be used as an index. The contact angle is preferably 80 degrees or less, and more preferably 65 degrees or less. In this case, the refractive index of the low reflection layer needs to be lower than the refractive index of the lower layer, and is preferably 1.45 or less. In addition to the above-mentioned fluorinated acrylate, for example, LiF (refractive index n = 1.4), MgF ₂ (n = 1.4), 3NaF · AlF ₃ (n = 1. 4) Inorganic low-reflective material in which inorganic material such as AlF ₃ (n = 1.4), Na ₃ AlF ₆ (n = 1.33), etc. is made into fine particles and contained in acrylic resin or epoxy resin It can be combined with organic low reflection materials such as silicone organic compounds, thermoplastic resins, thermosetting resins, and radiation curable resins. The low reflective layer preferably has a critical surface tension of 20 dyne / cm or less, more preferably 18 dyne / cm or less, and still more preferably 15 dyne / cm or less. When the critical surface tension is larger than 20 dyne / cm, it becomes difficult to remove the dirt adhered to the low reflection layer.

Furthermore, a low-reflective material in which a sol obtained by dispersing ultrafine silica particles of 5 to 30 nm in water or an organic solvent and a fluorine-based film forming agent can be used. A sol in which 5 to 30 nm ultrafine silica particles are dispersed in water or an organic solvent is a method in which alkali metal ions in an alkali silicate salt are dealkalized by ion exchange or the like, or a method in which an alkali silicate salt is neutralized with a mineral acid A known silica sol obtained by condensing active silicic acid known in the art, a known silica sol obtained by condensing alkoxysilane with hydrolysis in an organic solvent in the presence of a basic catalyst, and the above-mentioned aqueous sol An organic solvent-based silica sol (organosilica sol) obtained by substituting water in the silica sol with an organic solvent by a distillation method or the like is used. These silica sols can be used in both aqueous and organic solvent systems. In producing the organic solvent-based silica sol, it is not necessary to completely replace water with the organic solvent. The silica sol, a solid content of 0.5 to 50% strength by weight as SiO _2. Various structures such as a spherical shape, a needle shape, and a plate shape can be used as the structure of the silica ultrafine particles in the silica sol.

The thickness for the low reflection layer to exhibit a good antireflection function can be calculated by a known calculation formula. In the case where incident light is perpendicularly incident on the low reflection layer, the condition for the low reflection layer not to reflect light and to transmit 100% should satisfy the following relational expression. In the formula, N _o represents the refractive index of the low reflective layer, N _s represents the refractive index of the lower layer, h represents the thickness of the low reflective layer, and λ _o represents the wavelength of light.

  According to the above formula (1), it can be seen that in order to prevent light reflection by 100%, a material in which the refractive index of the low reflective layer becomes the square root of the refractive index of the lower layer may be selected. However, in reality, it is difficult to find a material that completely satisfies this mathematical formula, and a material that is as close as possible is selected. In the above equation (2), the optimum thickness as the antireflection film of the low reflection layer is calculated from the refractive index of the low reflection layer selected in the equation (1) and the wavelength of light. For example, if the refractive indexes of the lower layer and the low reflection layer are 1.50 and 1.38, the wavelength of light is 550 nm (visibility standard), and these values are substituted into the above equation (2), the low reflection layer It is calculated that the optimum thickness is an optical film thickness of around 0.1 μm, preferably in the range of 0.1 ± 0.01 μm.

  The method for producing an optical layered body of the present invention includes, for example, applying a radiation-curable resin coating containing a polyfunctional acrylate, a fluorinated acrylate, and a light-transmitting fine particle on a light-transmitting substrate, followed by drying and radiation-curing. Do by creating. Since the fluorine material is expensive, it is preferable to make it unevenly distributed on the surface of the optical functional layer. In the present invention, the drying step is particularly important. In the drying step, it is preferable to carry out the drying slowly at a low temperature. By slowly drying, the fluorinated acrylate collects on the surface of the optical functional layer, and by radiation curing it, an optical functional layer in which the fluorinated acrylate is unevenly distributed on the surface side can be obtained. Here, 50-130 degreeC is suitable for drying temperature, and 60-100 degreeC is more suitable. The drying time is preferably 1 to 10 minutes, and more preferably 2 to 5 minutes. In addition, it is preferable to provide a preliminary drying step immediately after the radiation curable resin coating is applied to form a coating film and during the drying step. As a result, the coating film can be dried more slowly, so that the fluorinated acrylate tends to be unevenly distributed on the surface side of the optical functional layer. The preliminary drying step refers to a step in which a weak air flow is uniformly blown against the coating film from a substantially vertical direction of the coating film plane. The air volume of the weak air current is preferably 0.01 to 1.0 m / sec. The air volume may be measured in a state where the wind speed detection hole of the anemometer (KANOMAX CLIMOMASTER ™) is 1 cm away from the coating film. Moreover, what is necessary is just to set the temperature of the airflow in a preliminary drying process to 20-60 degreeC.

  As a method for applying the paint on the translucent substrate, a normal coating method or printing method is applied. Specifically, air doctor coating, bar coating, blade coating, knife coating, reverse coating, transfer roll coating, gravure roll coating, kiss coating, cast coating, spray coating slot orifice coating, calendar coating, dam coating, dip coating, Coating such as die coating, intaglio printing such as gravure printing, printing such as stencil printing such as screen printing, and the like can be used.

  Hereinafter, after explaining this invention ((beta)) using figures, the material and manufacturing method which comprise this invention are demonstrated in order.

  FIG. 2 is a plan view showing the hard coat film 1 in which one hard coat layer 20 is laminated on the resin film 10. As shown in FIG. 2, although the hard-coat layer 20 can be laminated | stacked from the end surface 11a of the resin film 10 to the end surface 11b, it is not limited to this. That is, the hard coat layer 20 only needs to be laminated on the resin film 10, and the end surfaces 21 a and 21 b of the hard coat layer 20 do not need to coincide with the end surfaces 11 a and 11 b of the resin film 10.

  3 is a cross-sectional view of the hard coat film 1 cut along a straight line L in FIG. In FIG. 3, the thickness of the hard coat layer 20 is A, the length from the edge portion 12a of the resin film 10 to the edge portion 22a of the hard coat layer 20 is B, and the edge portion 12b of the resin film 10 is B. To B ′ of the hard coat layer 20 is defined as B ′. B and B 'may have the same length, or may have different lengths.

  The hard coat film of the present invention needs to satisfy A × 1500 <B. By setting A × 1500 <B, curling of the hard coat film 1 can be suppressed. For example, when the thickness of the hard coat layer is 0.003 mm which is the lower limit of the present invention, the above relational expression is 4.5 <B. Further, when the thickness of the hard coat layer is 0.020 mm which is the upper limit of the present invention, the above relational expression is 30 <B. Here, in the above relational expression, the upper limit value of B is not particularly limited, but is, for example, 100, and preferably 50. As long as the value exceeds the lower limit of B, a hard coat film that hardly causes cracks, wrinkles, and curls can be provided at all values. From the viewpoint of effectively utilizing the resin film, it is preferable to make the ear width B close to the lower limit value of B in the relational expression of A × 1500 <B.

  When A × 1500 ≧ B, when the pencil hardness (JIS K5400) of the hard coat layer constituting the hard coat film is 4H or more, curling is likely to occur. Therefore, it should be used as the hard coat film of the present invention. I can't. In the above relational expression, the smaller value of B and B ′ shown in FIG. 3 is applied as the value of B.

  Next, the material constituting the present invention (β) will be described.

<Resin film>
The material of the resin film constituting the present invention is not particularly limited.
When the hard coat film of the present invention is used for optical applications such as LCD and PDP, the higher the transparency, the better the resin film. Specifically, the total light transmittance (JIS K7105) of the resin film is 80% or more, more preferably 90% or more.
Specific examples of resin films that can be preferably used for optical applications include polyethylene terephthalate (PET), triacetyl cellulose (TAC), polyethylene naphthalate (PEN), polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), polycarbonate (PC), Polyimide (PI), polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), cycloolefin copolymer (COC), norbornene-containing resin, polyethersulfone, cellophane, aromatic polyamide, etc. Various resin films can be suitably used. These films can be unstretched or stretched. In particular, a biaxially stretched PET film is preferable in terms of excellent mechanical strength and dimensional stability, and a non-stretched TAC film and a film made of norbornene-containing resin have very little in-plane retardation. preferable. In addition, when using for optical uses, such as PDP and LCD, these PET film, TAC film, and norbornene-containing resin film are more preferable.

The elastic modulus of the resin film is preferably 2 GPa to 8 GPa, more preferably 3 GPa to 7 GPa.
By using a resin film having an elastic modulus in the above range as a constituent material of a hard coat film, when the hard coat film is processed into a polarizing plate and used in a liquid crystal display device, it is in a high and low humidity environment. Is also preferable because problems such as light leakage and a decrease in polarization degree are less likely to occur.
If the elastic modulus of the resin film is less than 2 GPa, the resin film may be broken when the hard coat layer forming coating material is applied by Roll to Roll.
In addition, the elasticity modulus in this invention means the value measured based on JISP8113. Specifically, it can be determined by using a tensile tester (product name: RTG1210 manufactured by A & D) and pulling the resin film at a speed of 1 mm / min.

The thickness of the resin film is preferably 5 to 100 μm, more preferably 20 to 100 μm, and more preferably 40 to 80 μm, from the viewpoints of lightening and thinning the display and production suitability of the hard coat film. It is particularly preferred.
By making the thickness of the resin film within the range, the shrinkage stress generated when the hard coat layer is cured can be absorbed or alleviated by the resin film, so that wrinkles and curls of the hard coat film can be suppressed. .
If the thickness of the resin film is less than 5 μm, it becomes difficult to suppress the shrinkage stress generated when the hard coat layer is cured, so that the hard coat layer shrinks, wrinkles and curls occur in the hard coat film, Productivity deteriorates. If the thickness of the resin film exceeds 100 μm, wrinkles and curls of the hard coat film can be suppressed, but it is not preferable because it is difficult to reduce the weight and thickness. In particular, when the hard coat film of the present invention is used for optical applications, it is not preferable that the thickness of the resin film exceeds 100 μm.

  The resin film should be subjected to surface treatment such as alkali treatment, corona treatment, plasma treatment, sputtering treatment, saponification treatment, application of surfactant, silane coupling agent, etc., or surface modification treatment such as Si deposition. Can do. Thereby, the adhesiveness between the resin film and the hard coat layer can be improved.

<Hard coat layer>
As the hard coat layer constituting the present invention, a thermosetting resin, a radiation curable resin, or a mixture of a thermosetting resin and a radiation curable resin can be used. The volume shrinkage ratio of the thermosetting resin or radiation curable resin is preferably 5 to 25%. Preferably it is 7 to 15%.
If it is less than 5%, the scratch resistance of the hard coat layer may be reduced.
If it exceeds 25%, the hard coat layer tends to shrink, and curling of the hard coat film tends to occur, which is not preferable.

In the present invention, it is preferable to use a radiation curable resin capable of curing the hard coat layer with radiation as the hard coat layer. This has advantages such as increased production efficiency and reduced energy costs.
Examples of radiation curable resins include monomers having radical polymerizable functional groups such as acryloyl group, methacryloyl group, acryloyloxy group, methacryloyloxy group, and cationic polymerizable functional groups such as epoxy group, vinyl ether group, oxetane group, A composition in which an oligomer and a prepolymer are used alone or appropriately mixed is used. Examples of monomers include methyl acrylate, methyl methacrylate, methoxy polyethylene methacrylate, cyclohexyl methacrylate, phenoxyethyl methacrylate, ethylene glycol dimethacrylate, dipentaerythritol hexaacrylate, trimethylolpropane trimethacrylate, pentaerythritol triacrylate, and the like. it can. As oligomers and prepolymers, polyester acrylate, polyurethane acrylate, phenylene glycidyl ether hexamethylene diisocyanate urethane prepolymer, phenyl glycidyl ether triene diisocyanate urethane prepolymer, pentaerythritol triacrylate hexamethylene diisocyanate urethane prepolymer, pentaerythritol triacrylate toluene diisocyanate urethane Prepolymer, polyfunctional urethane acrylate such as pentaerythritol triacrylate isophorone diisocyanate urethane prepolymer, epoxy acrylate, polyether acrylate, alkit acrylate, melamine acrylate, silicone acrylate Japanese polyester, tetramethylene glycol diglycidyl ether, propylene glycol diglycidyl ether, neopentyl glycol diglycidyl ether, epoxy compounds such as bisphenol A diglycidyl ether and various alicyclic epoxies, 3-ethyl-3-hydroxymethyloxetane, Examples include oxetane compounds such as 1,4-bis {[(3-ethyl-3-oxetanyl) methoxy] methyl} benzene and di [1-ethyl (3-oxetanyl)] methyl ether.

  Radiation curable resins can be used singly or in combination, but hard coat layer curing speed, abrasion resistance and other polyfunctional acrylates such as dipentaerythritol hexaacrylate, resin film and hard coat layer And a mixed system with a polyfunctional urethane acrylate having excellent adhesion and flexibility of the hard coat layer and flexibility. The mixing ratio of the polyfunctional urethane acrylate to the polyfunctional acrylate is preferably in the range of 0.1 to 1.5. A range of 0.2 to 0.7 is more preferable. If the ratio of the polyfunctional urethane acrylate to the polyfunctional acrylate is too low, wrinkles and cracks are likely to occur in the hard coat layer, and curling of the hard coat film is likely to occur. On the other hand, if the amount is too large, the scratch resistance of the hard coat layer is lowered, which is not preferable.

The radiation that cures the system using the radiation curable resin may be any of ultraviolet rays, visible rays, infrared rays, and electron beams. Further, these radiations may be polarized or non-polarized. In particular, ultraviolet rays are suitable from the viewpoints of equipment cost, safety, running cost, and the like. As the ultraviolet energy beam source, for example, a high-pressure mercury lamp, a halogen lamp, a xenon lamp, a metal halide lamp, a nitrogen laser, an electron beam accelerator, a radioactive element, and the like are preferable. The amount of irradiation with the energy radiation source of accumulative exposure at an ultraviolet wavelength of 365 nm, preferably in the range of ^{100~5,000mJ / cm 2, 300~3,000mJ / cm} 2 irradiation amount, of less than 100 mJ / cm ² Since the curing becomes insufficient, the hardness of the hard coat layer may decrease. On the other hand, if it exceeds 5,000 mJ / cm ² , the hard coat layer is colored and the transparency is lowered. When curing by ultraviolet irradiation, it is necessary to add a photopolymerization initiator. A conventionally well-known thing can be used as a photoinitiator. For example, benzoin and its alkyl ethers such as benzoin, benzoin methyl ether, benzoin ethyl ether, benzoin isopropyl ether, N, N, N, N-tetramethyl-4,4′-diaminobenzophenone, benzylmethyl ketal; acetophenone, 3 -Acetophenones such as methylacetophenone, 4-chlorobenzophenone, 4,4'-dimethoxybenzophenone, 2,2-dimethoxy-2-phenylacetophenone, 1-hydroxycyclohexylphenylketone; methylanthraquinone, 2-ethylanthraquinone, 2-amyl Anthraquinones such as anthraquinone; xanthone; thioxanthones such as thioxanthone, 2,4-diethylthioxanthone, 2,4-diisopropylthioxanthone; Ketals such as tophenone dimethyl ketal and benzyl dimethyl ketal; benzophenones such as benzophenone and 4,4-bismethylaminobenzophenone; and others, 1- (4-isopropylphenyl) -2-hydroxy-2-methylpropane-1- ON etc. can be illustrated. These can be used alone or as a mixture of two or more. The amount of the photopolymerization initiator used is preferably about 5% or less, more preferably 1 to 4% in terms of the total solid content, relative to the radiation curable resin composition.

  A polymer resin can be added and used in the radiation-curable resin composition system as long as the polymerization and curing are not hindered. This polymer resin is a thermoplastic resin that is soluble in an organic solvent used in the hard coat layer coating described later, and specifically includes acrylic resins, alkyd resins, polyester resins, and the like. Preferably has an acidic functional group such as a carboxyl group, a phosphoric acid group, or a sulfonic acid group.

  In addition, additives such as a leveling agent, a thickener, an antistatic agent, a filler, and an extender can be used. The leveling agent has a function of uniforming the tension on the surface of the coating film and correcting defects before forming the coating film, and a substance having lower interfacial tension and surface tension than the radiation curable resin composition is used.

  The hard coat layer is mainly composed of a cured product such as the above-described resin composition. The method of forming the hard coat layer is to apply a paint composed of the resin composition and an organic solvent, volatilize the organic solvent, and then apply radiation ( For example, it is cured by electron beam or ultraviolet irradiation) or heat. As the organic solvent used here, it is necessary to select an organic solvent suitable for dissolving the resin composition. Specifically, in consideration of coating suitability such as wettability to resin film, viscosity, and drying speed, a single or mixed solvent selected from alcohols, esters, ketones, ethers, and aromatic hydrocarbons is used. Can be used.

The thickness of the hard coat layer is in the range of 3.0 to 20.0 μm, more preferably in the range of 5.0 to 15.0 μm, and still more preferably in the range of 7.0 to 13.0 μm.
When the hard coat layer is thinner than 3.0 μm, the surface hardness decreases.
When the hard coat layer is thicker than 20.0 μm, the resin film is difficult to absorb and relieve the stress at the time of curing and shrinking of the hard coat layer, so curling occurs on the hard coat film and microcracks are formed on the hard coat layer surface. Occurs, the adhesiveness with the resin film is lowered, and the light transmittance is further lowered. And it becomes a cause of the cost increase by the increase in the amount of required coating materials accompanying the increase in film thickness.

In the hard coat layer, organic and inorganic fine particles may be appropriately contained. Organic and inorganic fine particles may be contained alone in the hard coat layer, or organic and inorganic fine particles may be contained in combination.
As the organic fine particles, acrylic resin, polystyrene resin, styrene-acrylic copolymer, polyethylene resin, epoxy resin, silicone resin, polyvinylidene fluoride, polyfluorinated ethylene resin, and the like can be used.
Examples of the inorganic fine particles include titanium oxide, silicon oxide, aluminum oxide, zinc oxide, tin oxide, zirconium oxide, calcium oxide, indium oxide, and antimony oxide. These composites can also be used. Among these, titanium oxide, silicon oxide (silica), aluminum oxide, zinc oxide, tin oxide, and zirconium oxide are preferable.
The above organic and inorganic fine particles may be used alone or in combination of two or more.

  In addition, when a concavo-convex structure is formed on the surface of the hard coat layer by including translucent fine particles having an average particle size of 0.3 to 10 μm in the hard coat layer, it can be used as an antiglare layer. preferable. As a result, the hard coat film can be used as an antiglare film. The refractive index of the light-transmitting fine particles having an average particle size of 0.3 to 10 μm is preferably 1.40 to 1.75. When the refractive index is less than 1.40 or more than 1.75, the light-transmitting substrate is used. Alternatively, the difference in refractive index with the resin matrix becomes too large, and the total light transmittance decreases. Further, the difference in refractive index between the translucent fine particles and the resin component is preferably 0.2 or less. The average particle diameter of the translucent fine particles is preferably in the range of 0.3 to 10 μm, more preferably 1 to 8 μm. When the particle size is smaller than 0.3 μm, the antiglare property is lowered. When the particle size is larger than 10 μm, it is not preferable because glare occurs and the surface unevenness becomes too large and the surface becomes whitish. The ratio of the light-transmitting fine particles contained in the resin is not particularly limited, but it is preferably 1 to 20 parts by mass with respect to 100 parts by mass of the resin composition in order to satisfy the characteristics such as the antiglare function and the glare. It is easy to control the fine irregular shape and haze value of the hard coat layer surface. Here, “refractive index” refers to a measured value according to JIS K-7142. Further, “average particle diameter” refers to an average value of the diameters of 100 particles actually measured with an electron microscope.

In the present invention, the polarizing substrate may be laminated on the resin film (on the surface on which the hard coat layer is not laminated). Here, the polarizing substrate uses a light-absorbing polarizing film that transmits only specific polarized light and absorbs other light, or a light reflective polarizing film that transmits only specific polarized light and reflects other light. I can do it. As the light-absorbing polarizing film, a film obtained by stretching polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinylene or the like can be used. For example, it can be obtained by uniaxially stretching polyvinyl alcohol adsorbed with iodine or a dye as a dichroic element. Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) film. As the light reflection type polarizing film, for example, two kinds of polyester resins (PEN and PEN copolymer) having different refractive indexes in the stretching direction when stretched are alternately laminated and stretched by several hundreds of extrusion techniques. "DBEF" manufactured by 3M, or a cholesteric liquid crystal polymer layer and a quarter-wave plate are laminated, and light incident from the cholesteric liquid crystal polymer layer side is separated into two circularly polarized light beams that are opposite to each other. Nitto Denko's “Nipox” and Merck's “Transmax”, which are configured to convert circularly polarized light that is transmitted through the cholesteric liquid crystal polymer layer and converted into linearly polarized light by a quarter-wave plate, and the like. .
Before laminating the above polarizing substrate on the resin film constituting the hard coat film, the hard coat film is subjected to a saponification treatment to thereby adhere the hard coat layer constituting the hard coat film and the polarizing substrate. (Adhesive strength) can be improved. In the conventional hard coat film, the occurrence of curling and cracking was remarkably observed in the hard coat film by the saponification treatment, but according to the present invention, the curl and cracking is also observed in the hard coat film after saponification. Can reduce the occurrence of.

<Other layers>
The hard coat layer may be laminated on one side of the resin film or on both sides.
Furthermore, the hard coat film may have other layers. Here, as other layers, for example, a polarizing substrate, a low reflection layer, other function-imparting layers (for example, an antistatic layer, a near infrared (NIR) absorption layer, a neon cut layer, an electromagnetic wave shielding layer, a hard coat layer), Can be mentioned. In addition, the position of the other layer is, for example, on the resin film opposite to the hard coat layer in the case of a polarizing substrate, and on the hard coat layer in the case of a low reflection layer. In the case of a property-imparting layer, it is the lower layer of the hard coat layer.

<Manufacturing method>
The manufacturing method of the hard coat film of the present invention is carried out, for example, by applying a radiation curable resin coating on a resin film, drying and then radiation curing. At the time of coating, the relational expression of A × 1500 <B may be satisfied. As a method for applying the paint on the resin film, a normal coating method or printing method is applied. Specifically, air doctor coating, bar coating, blade coating, knife coating, reverse coating, transfer roll coating, gravure roll coating, kiss coating, cast coating, spray coating, slot orifice coating, calendar coating, dam coating, dip coating Coating such as die coating, intaglio printing such as gravure printing, printing such as stencil printing such as screen printing, and the like can be used.
In addition, since the hard coat film of the present invention satisfies the relational expression of A × 1500 <B, even if manufactured by Roll-to-Roll, wrinkles and curls due to cracking and curing shrinkage are unlikely to occur, thereby improving the yield. be able to.
