Embodiment
Describe the preferred embodiments of the invention in detail referring now to accompanying drawing.
Although for illustration purpose discloses the preferred embodiments of the invention, it should be appreciated by those skilled in the art that and to carry out various changes, interpolation and replacement.Scope and spirit of the present invention are not limited to described embodiment.In the accompanying drawings, for clearer explanation the present invention, amplified the size or the thickness in various films or zone.
Fig. 2 is the sectional view according to the light diffusing board of one embodiment of the invention.With reference to figure 2, light diffusing board of the present invention comprises substrate 210, be coated in substrate 210 upper surface optical diffusion layer 200 and be stacked on the back coating 220 of the lower surface of substrate 210.
Optical diffusion layer 200 is used for diffusion or refraction from the light of LCD back light unit, thus equably with light diffusion to whole screen surface.As mentioned above, optical diffusion layer 200 contains a kind of composition, comprises first adhesive resin, rigidizer, light diffusion particles, antistatic agent, spreading agent and solvent.
Thereby described solvent is dissolving first adhesive resin, rigidizer, light diffusion particles, antistatic agent and spreading agent makes their mixed uniformly materials.Particularly, described solvent should be given first adhesive resin and light diffusion particles with polymolecularity, makes light diffusion particles can be dispersed in first adhesive resin.In the manufacturing of high-luminance light diffusing panel according to the present invention, described solvent should prevent that also light diffusion particles from precipitating in first adhesive resin, thereby prevents that light diffusion particles from disperseing inhomogeneous in first adhesive resin.Therefore, described solvent can have 0.82-1.0g/cm
3Proportion.Preferably, described solvent has 0.86-1.0g/cm
3Proportion and 130-140 ℃ boiling point.
When the proportion of described solvent is lower than 0.82g/cm
3The time, the dispersiveness of light diffusion particles reduces, thereby light diffusion particles is deposited in the described solvent in described process.Therefore, described solution must stir once more.On the other hand, the proportion when described solvent is higher than 1.0g/cm
3The time, it is heavier than first adhesive resin that described solvent becomes, and therefore can be enriched in the below of first adhesive resin, thus dry back stain occurs on optical diffusion layer 200.The mixed solution that can use butyl acetate and dimethylbenzene is as solvent.Yet described solvent is not limited to this potpourri, but can use proportion to be 0.82-1.0g/cm
3Various materials as solvent.Preferably, the dimethylbenzene with the 20-150 weight portion mixes with the butyl acetate of 100 weight portions.When the amount of dimethylbenzene during less than 20 weight portions, the surface tension of mixed solution increases and stay droplet after coating.On the other hand, when the amount of dimethylbenzene during,, thereby can not carry out dry run reposefully because the boiling point of dimethylbenzene is high relatively greater than 150 weight portions.Residual dimethylbenzene also can produce stain.In addition, when the boiling point of described solvent was 130-140 ℃, the optical diffusion layer 200 that is coated on the substrate 210 showed good levelability after dry run.When the boiling point of described solvent during less than 130 ℃, described solvent may be evaporated before the optical diffusion layer 200 that is coated with guarantees the levelability of expectation.On the other hand, when the boiling point of described solvent during greater than 140 ℃, substrate 210 warpages also apply load to dry run, thus the production process loss.
According to the present invention, light diffusion particles has 1.0-1.2g/cm
3Proportion and be no more than 15% change in particle size coefficient.
Described light diffusion particles can comprise acryl particles; alkylene particle or organic granular; wherein said acryl particles is by methyl methacrylate; Jia Jibingxisuanyizhi; isobutyl methacrylate; n-BMA; the positive butyl ester of methacrylic acid methyl; acrylic acid; methacrylic acid; its multipolymer or its terpolymer are made; described alkylene particle is by tygon; polystyrene or polypropylene are made; described organic granular is multilayer and multi component particle for example, and it obtains by the multipolymer of formation acryloyl and alkylene or the layer monomer different with multipolymer or layer of homopolymer with coating of homopolymer pellets.Preferably, light diffusion particles is made by polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA).In addition, for light diffusion particles, can use to show particle slightly different with the refractive index of first adhesive resin or that equate.
Described variation factor is defined as expression formula " variation factor=(standard deviation ÷ mean value) * 100 ".Usually, standard deviation is through being commonly used to represent dispersion degree.In the present invention, use variation factor to substitute standard deviation with mean variation, described variation factor can be used for controlling the distribution of light diffusion particles and with the distribution applications controlled in required process, and do not consider mean value.Can see that from the above-mentioned definition of variation factor variation factor is approaching more zero, the deviation between the particle is more little.In the present invention, use variation factor to be no more than 15% light diffusion particles and maximize the light peptizaiton.That is to say, when the variation factor of light diffusion particles greater than 15% the time, since the wide particle diameter of light diffusion particles distribute cause light diffusion particles with multilayer but not the form of individual layer pile up, even the average-size that the coating thickness of optical diffusion layer 200 equals light diffusion particles in the initial application process of optical diffusion layer 200 also is like this.As a result, descending appears in the light diffusion effect.
Light diffusion particles can be two kinds of particles with different average-sizes.In this case, the particle with big average-size applies one deck on a surface of substrate 210, have the particles filled gap that is limited between the coated larger particles of less average-size.This structure has been improved the diffusion of light rate that incides substrate 210 back sides.
For example, when light diffusion particles comprised the particle of two kinds of different average-sizes of 20 μ m and 10 μ m, if the variation factor of two kinds of particles all is no more than 15%, then size distribution narrowed down.Therefore, in this case,, obtain uniform light orientation when the light that incides substrate 210 back sides during by diffusion.The result is the rectilinearity of the light that helps propagating forward.This is to make that the particle of average-size with 20 μ m is stacked with form of single sheet because the average particle size distribution of light diffusion particles is narrow, and the particle with average-size of 10 μ m fill up the gap between the stacked large-size particle.Therefore, realize improvement to the diffusion of light rate that incides substrate 210 back sides.
As mentioned above, for even distribution granule in the gap that between bulky grain, is limited, except regulating particle grain size distribution, be necessary to increase the solid matter content in the mixed solution.Preferably, the solid matter content in the mixed solution is 38-42%.When the solid matter content in the mixed solution less than 38% the time, the excess stickiness of mixed solution reduces.As a result, the optical diffusion layer 200 of coating is difficult to the thickness evenness that obtains expecting, therefore the brightness uniformity that obtains expecting that is difficult to.When the solid matter content in the mixed solution greater than 42% the time, the excess stickiness of composition increases.For this reason, after finishing coating procedure, may stay droplet, thereby produce stain.At this, solid matter content is meant the percentages of ingredients of other except solvent in the composition.
In addition, preferably, the proportion of light diffusion particles is 1.0-1.2g/cm
3This restriction is to consider with the relation of the proportion of used solvent and definite.When the proportion of light diffusion particles less than 1.0g/cm
3The time, its proportion can cause the diffusion rate of light diffusion particles in the solvent to reduce less than the proportion of solvent for use.In this case, also be difficult to control the thickness distribution of the optical diffusion layer 200 of coating.On the other hand, the proportion when light diffusion particles surpasses 1.2g/cm
3The time, the rate of deposition of light diffusion particles in solvent raises undesirably.As a result, in coating procedure, must constantly repeat to stir solvent, so the production process loss.
For rectilinearity that improves the light that shines the light diffusing board front and the brightness that improves light diffusing board thus, preferably the refractive index with light diffusion particles is adjusted to the refractive index that is similar to first adhesive resin.More preferably, the refringence between the light diffusion particles and first adhesive resin is no more than 0.01.When the refringence between the light diffusion particles and first adhesive resin was no more than 0.01, the brightness of the light that sends from the light diffusing board front increased.
The dry thickness of first adhesive resin is equivalent to the 50-75% of light diffusion particles average-size.When the dry thickness of first adhesive resin less than the light diffusion particles average-size 50% the time, first adhesive resin layer is difficult to firmly support optical diffusion layer.On the other hand, when the dry thickness of first adhesive resin surpass the light diffusion particles average-size 75% the time, the light diffusion effect reduces.
The light transmission of light diffusion particles and diffusion rate depend on the content of the light diffusion particles that comprises in first adhesive resin.In order to obtain high light transmission and diffusion rate, the content of the light diffusion particles that comprises in first adhesive resin is preferably first adhesive resin of 40-140 weight portion/100 weight portions.When the content of light diffusion particles during less than 40 weight portions, the light diffusion effect that is caused by light scattering reduces.On the other hand, when the content of light diffusion particles during greater than 140 weight portions, light transmission reduces.
Advantageously, first adhesive resin in the composition of optical diffusion layer 200 has the high adhesion force to substrate 210.In addition, first adhesive resin should have the compatibility with light diffusion particles.
Use acryl resin as first adhesive resin.Preferably, acryl resin has about 1.49 refractive index, makes the refractive index difference of winning between adhesive resin and the light diffusion particles be no more than 0.01.For example, under the situation that light diffusion particles is made by PMMA, light diffusion particles has identical refractive index with acryl resin, and promptly 1.49, the light straight line that incides light diffusing board from the LCD back light unit passes the whole surface of lcd screen, thereby improves brightness.
In order to increase the performance of first adhesive resin, for example thermotolerance, abrasion resistance and stickability can add rigidizer in the composition of optical diffusion layer 200.
The spreading agent that comprises in the composition of optical diffusion layer 200 plays the effect that kept the uniform state of composition before composition being coated on the substrate 210.Do not limit the kind of spreading agent.
Substrate 210 of the present invention is transparent support things.Substrate 210 is made by at least a material that is selected from following material: polyethersulfone (PES), polyacrylate (PAR), polyetherimide (PEI), Polyethylene Naphthalate (PEN), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), polyene propyl ester (polyallylate), polyimide, polycarbonate (PC), Triafol T (TAC) and cellulose acetate propionate (CAP).Preferably, substrate 210 is made by PET.Substrate 210 must have and the tack of the first adhesive resin excellence, being no less than 90% transmissivity and not causing the uniform outer surface smoothness of luminance deviation the light that incides substrate 210 back sides.Preferably, the thickness of substrate 210 is 50-250 μ m.When the thickness of substrate 210 during less than 50 μ m, substrate 210 is difficult to handle in manufacture process.On the other hand, when the thickness of substrate 210 during greater than 250 μ m, substrate 210 has the structure that can not satisfy the nearest thin profile trend of LCD module.
Place the back coating 220 of the bottom surface of substrate 210 to comprise that friction factor is no more than the microballon of 0.36 (MIU) and second adhesive resin that tensional modulus of elasticity is no more than 300MPa.At this, MIU is by the mean value of the friction factor (no unit) of KES measurement, does not have unit.Because back coating 220 contacts are positioned at the element at the light diffusing board back side, for example therefore light guide plate in the process of regulating light guide plate, rubs between back coating 220 and light guide plate inevitably.This friction causes the scuffing on the light guide plate.Usually, light guide plate is made by acryl resin, and its friction factor is 0.37-0.38 (MIU).Therefore, the friction factor microballon that is no more than 0.36 (MIU) prevents the scuffing on light guide plate.Described microballon is made by the material that friction factor is no more than 0.36 (MIU), for example methyl Si powder or nylon powder, and the powder of PA-12 for example, but be not limited thereto.Elasticity is methyl Si powder or the intrinsic character of nylon powder, prevents from thus owing to the friction of described microballon and light guide plate to produce on described microballon to scratch.
As mentioned above, on the interface between back coating 220 and the light guide plate, rub inevitably.Because the tensional modulus of elasticity of second adhesive resin is no more than 300MPa,, therefore can prevent the scuffing on the back coating 220 less than the tensional modulus of elasticity of the 900-1000MPa that is layered in the acryl resin on the typical light guide plate.That is to say,, can prevent the scuffing on back coating 220 and the light guide plate simultaneously according to the present invention.
Second adhesive resin can be made by the material that any tensional modulus of elasticity is no more than 300MPa.For example, second adhesive resin can be made by the curable urethane acrylate resin of UV, preferably by three (2-acrylyl oxy-ethyl) isocyanates-2-acrylic acid, (1-methyl ethylidene) two (4, the inferior phenoxy group-2 of 1-, 1-ethylenedioxy-2,1-second two bases) terpolymer of ester and 1-hydroxyl-cyclohexyl-phenyl ketone is made.Described terpolymer can be block polymer or random copolymers.The glass transition temperature of described terpolymer (Tg) is about 52 ℃, and number-average molecular weight is about 4500.
Back coating 220 provides the release for light diffusing board, thus the processibility when increasing assembling or reassemblying back light unit.In addition, back coating 220 prevents because the scuffing that causes with the friction of light guide plate, and back coating 220 comprises the diffusion particle that is used for large scale screen LCD.At this, release is meant the characteristic that prevents adhesion, and adhesion is meant light diffusing board and for example integration of light guide plate of adjacent light diffusing panel structure arranged.For release is provided, be necessary to make described microballon to give prominence to and reduce the friction factor of described microballon from the surface portion of back coating 220.Preferably, described microballon is from the outstanding 3-5 μ m in the surface of back coating 220.Described microballon reduces the contact area between light diffusing board and the light guide plate, thereby the contact between light diffusing board and the light guide plate is minimized.
Described microballon can be realized by the content of nonvolatile element the mixing coating solution of regulating bonding agent and particle from the outstanding of back coating 220 surfaces.That is to say, by regulating the fixedly number of spreading rod (bar coater) of solid matter content.Because the thickness of back coating 220 is uniformly before drying, and after drying the thickness of adhesive phase reduce and particle grain size constant, thereby described microballon can be from the outstanding about 3 μ m in the surface of back coating 220.
When described microballon from the thickness of the surperficial outshot of back coating 220 during less than 3 μ m, the adhesion of back coating 220 and light guide plate may appear.On the other hand, during greater than 5 μ m, may on light guide plate, produce scuffing from the thickness of the surperficial outshot of back coating 220 when described microballon.
Dust or contaminating impurity that back coating 220 can be manufactured occurs during back light unit.In order to prevent the pollution of above-mentioned back coating 220, back coating 220 can further comprise antistatic agent.Antistatic agent is not limited to certain material, but can use any this area product commonly used.
Fig. 6 is the decomposition diagram of liquid crystal display backlight unit, has applied the light diffusing board according to another embodiment of the invention on it.With reference to figure 6, three layers multilayered light diffuser plates 630 are stacked on the light emission surface of light guide plate 620, light guide plate 620 uses cold-cathode fluorescence lamp as light source 600.Cremasteric reflex plate 610 on another surface of light guide plate 620, this surface is opposite with the light emission surface of light guide plate 620.Although diagram has three layers according to the multilayered light diffuser plate 630 of this embodiment, multilayered light diffuser plate 630 can have two-layer or four layers.The conventional prism sheet that the rectilinearity of raising light increases its brightness is very expensive, therefore increases production cost.Yet the overlapped multilayered light diffuser plate of the present invention of light diffusion particles layer reduces production costs when the rectilinearity that improves light increases its brightness.
Hereinafter, the method for making the high-luminance light diffusing panel of liquid crystal display backlight unit according to the preferred embodiment of the invention is described.
Described method comprises:
(S1) preparation comprises the optical diffusion layer solution of light diffusion particles, first adhesive resin and solvent, described light diffusion particles has and is no more than 15% change in particle size coefficient, described change in particle size coefficient is represented by following formula, and described solvent has 0.82-1.0g/cm
3Proportion,
[expression formula]
Variation factor=(standard deviation ÷ mean value) * 100;
(S2) optical diffusion layer solution is coated on the surface of the substrate of making by polyethylene terephthalate (PET), and dry coated solution; With
(S3) form back coating, described back coating comprise friction factor be no more than 0.36 (MIU) for microballon with at another lip-deep second adhesive resin of pet substrate.In step S1, described light diffusion particles can comprise two kinds of particles with different average-sizes.
In step S1, when the proportion of solvent less than 0.82g/cm
3The time, the dispersiveness of light diffusion particles reduces in the solvent, so light diffusion particles is deposited in the described solvent during the course.Therefore, described solution must stir once more.On the other hand, when the proportion of described solvent greater than 1.0g/cm
3The time, it is heavier than first adhesive resin that described solvent becomes, and therefore after coating, can be enriched in first adhesive resin below.As a result, after drying stain can appear.The mixed solution that can use butyl acetate and dimethylbenzene is as being solvent.But solvent is not limited thereto, and has 0.82-1.0g/cm
3The various materials of proportion all can be used as solvent.Under the situation of ratio of solvent reclosing dipped beam diffusion particle proportion, light diffusion particles is evenly distributed in the solvent during can be from the course of dissolution to the coating procedure.Therefore, in this case, in a period of time, there is not the problem of light diffusion particles precipitation.Under situation along with the passage light diffusion particles precipitation that applies the time, back more production batch in the light diffusion particles amount of distributing just few more.As a result, although haze value reduces, light diffusion efficient reduces a lot.On the other hand, more early produce batch in the light diffusion particles amount of distributing just many more, make to be difficult in each batch light diffusion particles is arranged in one deck.In addition, the serious haze value deviation of local appearance in each batch.
After this, light diffusion particles is dropped in the solvent.At this, regulate the size of light diffusion particles, make the change in particle size coefficient of light diffusion particles be no more than 15%.The size adjustment of light diffusion particles can be undertaken by various filtrators, and filtrator is made by cotton, nylon, porosint, metal fibre etc.In order to improve filtration efficiency, can use the method that produces pressure reduction across filtrator, or use the centrifuging principle.In addition, can use the ultrafiltration that utilizes collodion membrane or viscose paper.Can be in addition in solvent, drop into other and input light diffusion particles and have the light diffusion particles of particle diameter mean value difference.The further feature of light diffusion particles is basic identical or similar with the feature of above-mentioned light diffusing board, therefore omits detailed description.
First adhesive resin is dissolved in the optical diffusion layer solution.First adhesive resin must have to the high adhesion of substrate 210 and with the compatibility of light diffusion particles.In addition, the light diffusion particles that contains the 40-140 weight portion in per 100 weight portions, first adhesive resin.
Do not limit the material of first adhesive resin.Preferably, use with the roughly the same acryl resin of the refractive index of PMMA as first adhesive resin.
For thermotolerance, abrasion resistance and the stickability that improves first adhesive resin, can in the composition of optical diffusion layer, add rigidizer.
After this, in order to prepare the optical diffusion layer solution of the light diffusion particles that wherein evenly distributes, can use conventional stirrer.At this, mix or dispersion process was carried out under 100-300rpm 1 hour, make light diffusion particles be dispersed in the solution, subsequently solution froth breaking foam 30 minutes under about 50-100rpm.In above-mentioned mixing condition, application mix speed makes light diffusion particles be dispersed in the solution and makes solution effectively eliminate foam.When mixing velocity is too high, produce a large amount of bubbles in the solution.On the other hand, cross when low, prolong the required time of manufacture process, and reduce the throughput rate of light diffusing board when mixing velocity.
After this,, optical diffusion layer solution is coated to a surface of the substrate of making by polyethylene terephthalate (PET) at step S2, and subsequent drying.
At this, substrate is made by PET, and it has high-fire resistance and processibility.In addition, described substrate can be selected from following a kind of material and makes: polyethersulfone (PES), polyacrylate (PAR), polyetherimide (PEI), Polyethylene Naphthalate (PEN), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), polyene propyl ester (polyallylate), polyimide, polycarbonate (PC), Triafol T (TAC) and cellulose acetate propionate (CAP)., as long as above-mentioned substance has high-fire resistance and processibility.
The thickness of described pet substrate is 50-250 μ m.Describe the further feature of substrate above, thereby omitted detailed description.
After this, optical diffusion layer solution is coated on the pet substrate.At this, can use various painting methods, for example spin-coating method, silk screen cover are coated with (screen mask coating) and rod is coated with (bar coating) method.Preferably, use suitable large-scale production and quantity-produced rod to be coated with method.When using rod to be coated with method, the thickness of optical diffusion layer solution with about 20 μ m can be coated on the pet substrate.Afterwards, the dry pet substrate that applies optical diffusion layer solution.At this, can mode alone or in combination use various drying means, for example heated air seasoning, infrared (IR) seasoning and ultraviolet (UV) seasoning.After above-mentioned dry run, the solvent composition evaporation in the optical diffusion layer solution of coating, thus form optical diffusion layer.
At last, in step S3, another the lip-deep back coating that is formed on pet substrate comprises that friction factor is no more than the microballon and second adhesive resin of 0.36 (MIU).
Because friction factor is no more than 0.36 (MIU), thereby described microballon can have release, and can prevent since with for example scuffing on the light diffusing board that causes of light guide plate friction of other element that is positioned at the light diffusing board back side.More than describe the further feature of described microballon, thereby omitted detailed description.
The friction factor of described microballon is more little, and then the advantage of described microballon is many more.Preferably, the friction factor of described microballon is no more than 0.36 (MIU).For example, described microballon can be made by the material that friction factor is no more than 0.36 (MIU), for example methyl Si powder or nylon powder, and PA-12 powder for example, but be not limited thereto.That is to say that described microballon can be made by any materials, as long as the average friction coefficient of material is no more than 0.36 (MIU).
In order to dissolve the described microballon and second adhesive resin, second adhesive resin and microballon are dropped into solvent.Described solvent is not limited to predetermined substance, but can use any this area material commonly used, for example methyl ethyl ketone and toluene.
For second adhesive resin, can use any material that release, resistance to marring and tensional modulus of elasticity are no more than 300MPa that has.Second adhesive resin is preferably made by the curable urethane acrylate resin of UV, more preferably by three (2-acrylyl oxy-ethyl) isocyanates-2-acrylic acid, (1-methyl ethylidene) two (4, the inferior phenoxy group-2 of 1-, 1-ethylenedioxy-2,1-second two bases) terpolymer of ester and 1-hydroxyl-cyclohexyl-phenyl ketone is made.
In addition, can in solvent, add antistatic agent.Antistatic agent is not limited to predetermined substance, but can use this area product commonly used.
After this, in order to form back coating, should make the solvent that comprises the microballon and second adhesive resin through mixed process.Can use the mixed method identical to carry out mixed process with mixed light diffusing layer solution among the step S1.
After this, on another surface of pet substrate, described substrate has the optical diffusion layer that forms in step S1, and subsequent drying with the solvent coating that evenly is mixed with the microballon and second adhesive resin.Use with step S1 in the identical drying means of dry optical diffusion layer solution.
Hereinafter, be described in more detail the present invention based on following examples.Yet, should not think that the present invention is limited by the description of embodiment.
