Embodiment
Describe the present invention below in detail.In the present invention, used the low transparent membrane of reflectivity of the face that has specific UVA characteristic and contact with air.Transparent membrane used herein is formed from a resin, for example, can be to have the modified polycarbonate of fluorene skeleton and the such polycarbonate series resin of general polycarbonate that obtains from bisphenol-A, the cellulose series resin that diacetyl cellulose and triacetyl cellulose are such, the polysulfones series plastics, the polyethersulfone series plastics, the polyester series resin, the polyimide series plastics, polyamide series resin, polyarylate series plastics etc., the thickness of this transparent membrane is normally about 10~1000 μ m, be preferably in more than the 10 μ m, below the 200 μ m.
And in the present invention, the transmitance that is used in the 380nm place is that transparent membrane below 10% is as such transparent membrane.Use is then better 5% following person in the transmitance at wavelength 380nm place.Such characteristic can for example contain in the diaphragm that the so-called ultraviolet light absorber of benzotriazole system, benzoic ether system, benzophenone series, salicylate system, nickel complex system etc. reaches by making.Contain ultraviolet light absorber in the diaphragm in order to make, can use well-known usual way, adducible example as, ooze in the assorted liquid at the resin that forms diaphragm and to add the method for ultraviolet light absorber system diaphragm, and the solution that will be dissolved with ultraviolet light absorber is coated on the transparent membrane and makes its dry method etc.The content of ultraviolet light absorber preferably for example contains ultraviolet light absorber about 0.01~10 part for the resin of 100 parts of weight.Also can use the commercially available transparent membrane that contains ultraviolet light absorber, the triacetyl cellulose that is added with ultraviolet light absorber (TAC) diaphragm of being sold by Fuji's description film (strain) (useful " UZ " and " TD ", " TDY " constitute the product of the name of an article) (thickness 100 μ m, 80 μ m, 50 μ m, 40 μ m etc.) and the triacetyl cellulose that is added with ultraviolet light absorber (TAC) diaphragm of being sold by Konica (strain) (product that " UX2M " formation name of an article is arranged) (thickness 80 μ m, 57 μ m, 40 μ m etc.) etc. be arranged as the example of the commercially available diaphragm that satisfies such necessary condition.
In addition, this transparent membrane and optical compensation diaphragm described later and glass plate are stacked, make this transparent membrane become the outside surface of a side, and the reflectivity of face at wavelength 550nm place that this transparent membrane is contacted with air becomes below 2%.The desirable value of this reflectivity is preferably in below 0.5% below 1%.Such characteristic can reach with anti-reflection layer is set from the teeth outwards.Anti-reflection layer be reduce with interface that air layer contacts on catoptrical layer, prevent to result from the generation of this catoptrical parasitic light.As anti-reflection layer, common employed material for example can be: the structure of the single or multiple lift that is made of the compound of selecting from metal, metal oxide and metal fluoride.Can be as metal for silver etc., as metal oxide, for example can for: monox, aluminium oxide, titanium dioxide, tantalum oxide, yttria, zirconia etc. in addition, for example can be magnesium fluoride etc. as metal fluoride.This anti-reflection layer can be an individual layer, also can be 2 layers, 3 layers, the multilayer more than 4 layers.The thickness of each layer the when thickness of anti-reflection layer and multilayer can wait suitably according to its number of plies, the refractive index that is used for the material of each layer and select.In addition, for improving the stickability of antireflection diaphragm and transparent membrane, propylene overlay and hard overlay can be set between them also.
On the surface that anti-reflection layer is arranged on the transparent membrane, contact angle is best more than 80 °, and is then better more than 100 °.Here so-called contact angle, the value when being to use this liquid of water.With face that air contacts on contact angle during less than 80 ° because particulate adheres to easily, used the projection-type liquid crystal display device of optical compensation plate with this surface, under long-term situation about using continuously, the tendency that has contrast to descend easily.The upper limit of contact angle is 180 °.
When the contact angle of regulation is here satisfied on the surface of anti-reflection layer, the transparent membrane with such anti-reflection layer intactly can be used for the present invention, for example, can use " HT-ARPSMC " of " letterpress (strain) " corporate system etc.In addition, in the many occasions of common anti-reflection layer,, at this moment can realize above-mentioned contact angle by the layer that fluoride constitutes here by setting on anti-reflection layer owing to the contact angle of not stipulating.The layer that is made of fluoride can be coated on the surface by the coating liquid that will contain this compound and is provided with.For this reason, if the fluorine compounds of use can be accomplished the contact angle on surface more than 80 °, not specially provided for then; For preventing the normally used material of pollution on surface, for example can be the material of fluorine containing silane compound etc.Because can prevent adhering to of dirt such as fingerprint from the teeth outwards, such fluoride is widely used in fields such as coating all the time.
In the present invention, will have the transparent membrane of specific like this optical transmittance and specific surface reflectivity and specific optical compensation diaphragm is used in combination.This optical compensation diaphragm is a coated with liquid crystal compound on the base material membrane surface, and its orientation back is formed, and this diaphragm compensates the optical phase difference that the liquid crystal molecule in the liquid crystal cell produces after being assembled on the projection-type liquid crystal display device.
Base material diaphragm as the optical compensation diaphragm, for example have: have the modified polycarbonate of fluorene skeleton and the such polycarbonate series resin of general polycarbonate that obtains by bis-phenol, the cellulose series resin that diacetyl cellulose and triacetyl cellulose are such, as norborene is the cyclopolyolefin series plastics of polymer of monomers, polysulfones series plastics, polyethersulfone series plastics, the polyester series plastics, the polyimide series plastics, polyamide series resin, polyarylate series plastics etc.The thickness of this base material diaphragm is normally about 10~1000 μ m.Be coated in liquid crystal compounds above it and can be the discoid liquid-crystal compounds that for example has the benzophenanthrene skeleton and high molecule liquid crystal compound etc.Making the method for liquid crystal compounds orientation can be usual way, for example, can adopt the base material membrane surface is carried out orientation process in advance, coated with liquid crystal compound on it, after making its drying, make the fixing method of the orientation of liquid crystal compounds etc. with thermal treatment.Optical compensation diaphragm behind such coated with orientation liquid crystal compounds is for example put down in writing to some extent at aforementioned patent document 3.For example have as the commercially available optical compensation diaphragm behind the coated with orientation liquid crystal compounds: " day stone LC diaphragm " that " wide visual field diaphragm " (being also referred to as " WV diaphragm " sometimes) (kind: WV A 03B, WV A 12B, WV A 038, WV A 128) that description diaphragm (strain) company of Fuji sells and company of Nippon Mitsubishi Oil's (strain) sell reaches " day stone NH diaphragm ", " day stone NR diaphragm " etc.
In the present invention, the transparent membrane of top explanation and optical compensation diaphragm are sticked on the transparent glass plate make optical compensation plate.As transparency glass plate, can use the common silicon that is referred to as backboard glass and blank glass is glass plate, quartz glass etc.In addition, it also is suitable using high sapphire glass and the crystal glass of pyroconductivity.Sapphire glass is aluminium oxide (AI 2O 3) monocrystal, for example, use to form tabular goods by EFG method (EdGe-defined Film-fedGrowth method).Crystal glass is SiO 2Monocrystal, can be synthetic quartzy, also can be mineral crystal.The face that is preferably in a side of transparency glass plate promptly exposes face and is provided with anti-reflection layer.The thickness of transparency glass plate normally about 0.1~2mm, it is desirable to more than the 0.3mm, and better is below 0.8mm.The area of transparency glass plate can suitably be selected according to the size as the projection-type liquid crystal display device of productive target.It is rectangle or the square of 10~100mm that representational example has the length of side, the circle of diameter 5~100mm or ellipse etc.
Stacked transparent membrane and optical compensation diaphragm on such transparency glass plate.At this moment, transparent membrane is formed on the outside surface of a side, come stacked with the order of transparency glass plate/optical compensation diaphragm/transparent membrane usually.The area of transparent membrane and optical compensation diaphragm is roughly the same or slightly littler than glass plate with the area of transparency glass plate usually.Area is slightly little also to stick on the glass easily, preferably reduces the area of transparent membrane and optical compensation diaphragm, so that it sticks on the inboard apart from about clear glass panel edges 0.5~5mm.
Transparent membrane and optical compensation diaphragm and glass plate and optical compensation diaphragm come stacked by adhesive layer usually.As the cementing agent that constitutes adhesive layer, use for example propylene series pressure-sensitive type cementing agent, the pressure-sensitive type cementing agent of urethanes series pressure-sensitive type cementing agent etc.Pressure-sensitive type cementing agent generally provides the adhesive layer of each homogeny on the transparent optics.In addition, pressure-sensitive type cementing agent is referred to as cementing agent.The thickness of adhesive layer is usually about 10~60 μ m.
In optical compensation plate of the present invention, that two optical compensation plates that applied liquid crystal compounds on base material diaphragm ground that adjoins each other is stacked just desirable more.Just two optical compensation diaphragms are positioned on the face of glass plate one side, if arranged in order with the transparent membrane/first optical compensation diaphragm/second optical compensation diaphragm that anti-reflection layer is arranged, make the anti-reflection layer of transparent membrane be in outermost, then the raising effect of contrast can be higher.At this moment, the best approximate vertical of two optical compensation diaphragms axis of orientation separately disposes crossingly, in addition, so-called here " approximate vertical intersects " preferably intersect vertically (90 °), ± 5 ° of interior deviations of scope allow.Also has same meaning " roughly " of using when in the other parts of this instructions, relating to angle configurations.Have again, among two optical compensation diaphragms, the first optical compensation diaphragm of close transparent membrane is when being assembled into projection-type liquid crystal display device, and its axis of orientation preferably and the absorption axes approximate vertical of the linear polarization plate in the polarization conversion element of disposed adjacent intersects or the configuration of almost parallel ground.In addition, preferably configuration like this of these two optical compensation diaphragms: the face that makes offside is base material diaphragm side and the face overlaid that scribbles liquid crystal compounds.
Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 show the example of optical compensation plate of the present invention.The example that is shown in Fig. 1 is that transparent membrane 21 is stacked with optical compensation diaphragm 30, pastes on the glass plate 23 and forms optical compensation plate 20 in optical compensation diaphragm 30 1 sides.Here, optical compensation diaphragm 30 is that coated with liquid crystal type compound layer 32 also is orientated back formation on base material diaphragm 31, and its liquid crystal compounds layer 32 1 sides paste on the transparent membrane 21, and its base material diaphragm 31 1 examples paste on the glass plate 23.On transparent membrane and one side that air contacts, be provided with anti-reflection layer 27.In addition, on the outside surface of the opposite side of the stickup face with optical compensation diaphragm 30 of glass plate 23, be provided with anti-reflection layer 28.Have at glass plate 23 under optical anisotropy's the situation, be necessary to make its crystallographic axis parallel with the polarizing axis of the polarized light that sees through or intersect vertically, for example, when glass plate 23 was sapphire glass, the polarizing axis of the C axle of sapphire glass and the polarized light that sees through is configured to almost parallel or approximate vertical intersects.
The example that is shown in Fig. 2 is: on the structural basis of layer of Fig. 1, increase the configuration second optical compensation diaphragm 40 between optical compensation diaphragm 30 and glass plate 23, as the structure of optical compensation plate 20.Therefore, will be configured in the optical compensation diaphragm 30 of transparent membrane 21 sides as the first optical compensation diaphragm.The second optical compensation diaphragm 40 is coated with orientation liquid crystal compounds layer 42 and forming on base material diaphragm 41 also.In example shown in Figure 2, two optical compensation diaphragms 30,40 are configured to make axis of orientation approximate vertical separately to intersect.These two optical compensation diaphragms are that base material diaphragm 31,41 sides dispose with coinciding at the reverse side of liquid crystal compounds layer 32,42 applicator surface.
In Fig. 3~Fig. 5, fold under the situation of optical compensation diaphragm 30,40 as shown in Figure 2 layer by layer with regard to 2, the relation of the shaft angle degree of two optical compensation diaphragms 30,40 is shown.All be a side that is illustrated in transparent membrane 21, with two optical compensation diaphragms, that is the relation of the first optical compensation diaphragm 30 and the second optical compensation diaphragm 40 shaft angle degree when stacked in this order.No matter under which kind of situation, the axis of orientation of the axis of orientation of the first optical compensation diaphragm 30 and the second optical compensation diaphragm 40 all is configured to approximate vertical and intersects.Just be taken as 0 ° if incite somebody to action the right on the long limit of optical compensation diaphragm 30,40 separately, then in Fig. 3, the axis of orientation of the first optical compensation diaphragm 30 is taken as 135 ° direction, the axis of orientation of the second optical compensation diaphragm 40 is taken as 225 ° direction, in Fig. 4 and Fig. 5, the axis of orientation of the first optical compensation diaphragm 30 is taken as 270 ° of directions, and the axis of orientation of the second optical compensation diaphragm 40 is taken as 180 ° of directions or 0 ° of direction.Moreover, in Fig. 4 and Fig. 5, represent that the direction of arrow of axis of orientation of the second optical compensation diaphragm 40 is opposite, the direction of this arrow means the frictional direction of orientation.
