Description

LCD and use therein glare-proof polarizing film are pressed material
Technical field
The glare-proof polarizing film that the present invention relates to have the LCD of improved anti-dazzle performance and be used for this LCD is pressed material.
Background technology
Because LCD has good characteristic as light, thin, low power consumption etc., they are used for the PC etc. of portable TV, notebook size gradually.Recently, LCD is used for picture switching apparatus such as giant-screen TV etc. also cumulatively.Under the situation of LCD that is used for display image such as TV machine, emphasis is visual, especially when the contrast ratio when screen is seen in the front with when the contrast ratio when vergence direction is seen screen, i.e. viewing angle properties.For improving viewing angle properties, the various drive patterns of liquid crystal cell (liquid crystal cell) have been proposed.
As a example with LCD of improving viewing angle properties, JP 2548979 B disclose perpendicular alignmnet (VA) mode LCD, and the rod shaped liquid crystal molecule that wherein will have plus or minus anisotropy specific inductive capacity is arranged in the vertical direction of the base material that relates to liquid crystal cell.Because in the VA pattern, arrange liquid crystal molecule under the not driving condition of display in the vertical direction of the base material that relates to liquid crystal cell, light can not have the variation of polarization by liquid crystal layer.Therefore, when making the polarization axle of polarization plates be mutually the right angle on the preceding and rear surface that a pair of linear polarization plate is placed on liquid crystal board respectively, see substantially completely black scope from the front and therefore obtain high contrast ratio.
Yet, in the VA mode LCD that only comprises the linear polarization plate that is placed on the liquid crystal cell, when seeing the screen of display from vergence direction, the angle that forms by the polarization axle of linear polarization plate can from 90 degree depart from and box the clavate liquid crystal molecule show birefringence, make light leak and therefore contrast ratio greatly reduce.
For preventing that the light in the VA mode LCD from leaking, and should provide optical compensation films between liquid crystal cell and linear polarization plate.For this purpose, between liquid crystal cell and polarization plates separately, insert biaxial retardant plates, or uniaxial retardation plate and complete biaxial retardant plates are placed on the preceding and rear surface of liquid crystal cell, or two retardation plates all are placed on the surface of liquid crystal cell.For example, JP-A-2001-109009 discloses the VA mode LCD, wherein with a-plate (being positive uniaxial retardation plate) and c-plate (being complete biaxial retardant plates) respectively liquid crystal cell and before and retrodeviate between the vibration plate and insert.
Positive uniaxial retardation plate is represented ratio R 0/ R ThPhase shift films for about 2, wherein R 0Be length of delay and R in the plane ThIt is the length of delay in the thickness direction.Biaxial retardant plates is represented length of delay R in the plane fully 0Phase shift films for about 0.Length of delay R in the plane 0With the length of delay R in the thickness direction ThRespectively by following formula (1) and (2) definition:
R 0=(n x-n y)×d (1)
R th=[(n x+n y)/2-n z]×d (2)
N wherein xBe the refractive index in the phase retardation direction of principal axis in the plane, n yBe the refractive index in the axial direction of advancing mutually in the plane, n zBe the thickness that refractive index in thickness direction and d are film.
Under the situation of positive uniaxial retardation film, n zNo better than n y ( n z ≅ n y ) With therefore R 0R ThFor about 2 ( R 0 / R th ≅ 2 ) . For uniaxial retardation film, depend on the alignment conditions of film, ratio R 0/ R ThCan in about 1.8 and 2.2 scope, change.Under the situation of complete biaxial retardation film, n xNo better than n y ( n x ≅ n y ) With therefore R 0For about 0 ( R 0 ≅ 0 ) . For complete biaxial film and since only the refractive index in the thickness direction be different from (less than) other refractive index, this phase shift films has negative uniaxiality and therefore it is called the film that has optical axis in normal direction, or above-mentioned c-plate.In biaxial retardation film, refractive index has following relation: n x>n y>n z
Polarization plates has protective seam at least one surface of polarizing coating.Protective seam generally includes the tri acetyl cellulose film.Having carried out various trials replaces the tri acetyl cellulose film or gives delay performance to protective seam to adopt other resin molding.For example, JP-A-08-43812 describes is that at least one protective seam of polarizing coating is made up of birefringent film.JP-A-07-287123 is disclosed to be that the protective seam of polarizing coating is made by norbornene resin (cyclic olefin resins).
In addition, when their outside light time of image display panel reflection, image display such as LCD are lost their observability significantly.Therefore, be that the screen surfaces of processes and displays equipment is to prevent the reflection of exterior light usually in the monitor screen etc. of important use such as TV, PC in picture quality and observability.As the measure that prevents to reflect, the non-glare treated that forms small irregular image with scatter incident light and broken thus reflection from the teeth outwards is preferred for such as application such as large scale PC, monitor, TV, because this processing is carried out under suitable relatively cost.
As the film that this anti-dazzle performance is provided, JP-A-2002-365410 discloses has small irregular blooming on its surface, wherein when the reflected light that enters and only observe the direction under the angles of-10 degree of normal on the surface of light at film from the surface, distribution of reflected light satisfies special relationship.JP-A-2002-189106 discloses and has comprised that the resin bed that transparent resin film and ionization radiation solidify has small irregular antiglare film, it is being formed by following mode on the surface of transparent resin film: solidifying resin bed that ionization radiation solidifies, to insert resin that ionization radiation solidifies simultaneously between embossing mould and transparent resin film this small irregular to form, make three-dimensional 10 mean roughness and for three-dimensional surface roughness at the mean distance between the adjacent protrusion part under the data level in particular range separately.
JP-A-2004-90187 discloses the method for producing roller, this roller is used to produce contains small irregular film on its surface, this method comprises the steps: to form the metal level of plating on the surface of dandy roll, the surface of mirror polishing plating coating metal layer, adopt the mirror polished surface of ceramic bead sandblast (blast) plating coating metal layer and randomly knock the metal level of plating.
Usually, the antiglare film that may must use has a high mist degree of at least 10% is with the reflection that prevents exterior light and guarantee enough observabilities, and the antiglare film with this high mist degree is widely used in the PC, TV of notebook size etc.Yet the shortcoming with antiglare film of at least 10% high mist degree is the contrast measured in bright room owing to its wide reflection-scattering property reduces.In addition, the shortcoming with antiglare film of high mist degree is that also it also is reduced in the middle contrast of measuring between dark place, and this is that LCD is intrinsic.
For solving those problems, JP-A-2006-53371 discloses the antiglare film with low haze and special reflecting distribution, it is produced by following mode: it is irregular to adopt the fine particle sandblast to form on the sheet metal of polishing, electroless nickel plating to be reducing the irregular degree of depth forming mould on the irregular surface of sheet metal, and the surface imperfection of transfer mold is to the surface of transparent resin film.

Antiglare layer 30 is 5% or littler against the mist degree of vertical incidence light, when under the incident angle of 45 degree light, using three optical frequency coms forming by concealed wire and bright line to measure the reflection sharpness, total reflection sharpness is 50% or littler, each width of this optical frequency com is respectively 0.5mm, 1.0mm and 2.0mm, against the incident light that under the incident angle of 30 degree, enters, reflectivity R (30) under the reflection angle of 30 degree is 2% or littler, against the incident light that under the incident angle of 30 degree, enters, reflectivity R (40) under the reflection angle of 40 degree is 0.003% or littler, and R (〉=60) is 0.001 or littler with the ratio of R (30), wherein R (〉=60) is the incident light that enters against under the incident angle of 30 degree, reflectivity under 60 degree or bigger reflection angle in any direction, and the surface of antiglare layer 30 is 50 μ m by average area 2-1500 μ m 2, preferred 300 μ m 2-1000 μ m 2Polygon form, wherein polygon uses the tip of the bossing of surface imperfection to form as generatrix by the Voronoi graduation on surface.
Now, explain antiglare layer 30 in detail.Antiglare layer 30 is preferably by the method productions of following explanation, and has and form small irregular anti-dazzle surface thereon, and is 5% or littler against the mist degree of vertical incidence light.Although antiglare layer 30 has form small irregular on its surface, when it was applied to LCD, it had low haze and therefore can suppress the reduction of contrast.
Antiglare layer 30 is 50% or littler against total reflection sharpness of 45 degree incident lights.The reflection sharpness can be measured by the method for explanation among the JIS K 7105.In the method for JIS K 7105, definition and use four optical frequency coms forming by concealed wire and bright line, each width of this optical frequency com is respectively 0.125mm, 0.5mm, 1.0mm and 2.0mm (ratio of concealed wire width and bright line width is 1: 1).In the present invention, in the reflection sharpness of using four optical frequency coms to measure, use width not count summation, because use the numerical value of the less feasible measurement of reflection sharpness that this optical frequency com of antiglare layer of the present invention obtains to have bigger error as the reflection sharpness that the optical frequency com of 0.125mm obtains.Therefore, in the present invention, always reflect sharpness and be to use three optical frequency coms being made up of concealed wire and bright line to measure the summation of the reflection sharpness that obtains, each width of this optical frequency com is respectively 0.5mm, 1.0mm and 2.0mm.Therefore, the possible maximal value according to total reflection sharpness of above definition is 300%.When total reflection sharpness surpassed 50%, the image of reflected image such as light source made glare-proof polarizing film of the present invention press the anti-dazzle performance degradation of material.
When total reflection sharpness is 50% or more hour, may be difficult to only estimate the superiority of anti-dazzle performance from total reflection sharpness, because if always reflect sharpness less than 50% or littler, each reflection sharpness that each optical frequency com that uses width to be respectively 0.5mm, 1.0mm and 2.0mm is measured makes and can not ignore because the fluctuation of the reflection sharpness that measuring error is brought up to about 10-20%.
Then, explain the dependence of reflectivity to reflection angle by the reference Figure 4 and 5, it uses another standard of the anti-dazzle performance that judges.Fig. 4 shows the incident direction of the light that relates to antiglare layer (antiglare film) and the perspective schematic view of reflection direction.According to the present invention, in R (30) is defined as direction under the incident angles of 30 degree, promptly in minute surface direction 37, relate to when the catoptrical reflectivity of the incident light 36 that under the angles of 30 degree of the normal 35 of antiglare layer 30, enters, R (30) is 2% or littler.Specular reflectance R (30) is preferably 1.5% or littler, and more preferably 0.7% or littler.When specular reflectance R (30) surpassed 2%, antiglare layer may not have enough anti-dazzle performances made the observability deterioration of display.In Fig. 4, catoptrical direction is represented by numeral 38 under arbitrarily angled θ, and exists in plane 39 in catoptrical direction 37 and 38 during the albedo measurement, and plane 39 comprises the normal 35 of incident direction of light 36 and film.
Fig. 5 relates to the example of mapping from the reflectivity of the reflected light 38 of 30 incident lights 36 that enter of degree angles of the normal 35 of the antiglare layer 30 of Fig. 4 and reflection angle.The figure that shows the relation of reflectivity and reflection angle, or the reflectivity that reads under each reflection angle from this figure is called " reflection distributes ".Shown in the figure of Fig. 5, specular reflectance R (30) relates to the reflectance peak of the incident light 36 that enters under the angles of 30 degree, and reflectivity tends to reduction when reflection direction departs from the minute surface direction.
According to the present invention, when R (40) was defined as reflectivity the direction that is relating in 40 degree incident angles of the incident light 36 that enters under the angles of 30 degree of the normal 35 of the antiglare layer shown in Fig. 4 30, R (40) was 0.003% or littler.When R (40) surpassed 0.003%, the image of demonstration tended to bleach.Therefore, R (40) is preferably so not big.When R (40) too hour, antiglare layer may not have enough anti-dazzle performances yet.Therefore, R (40) preferably is 0.00005% at least.Yet, may quite be difficult to the preferable range of the strict R (40) of determining, because reflect or the subjective performance of determining and be the reflection user's preferences by eyes that bleaches.
In addition, according to the present invention, the ratio of R (〉=60) and R (30) is 0.001 or littler, and wherein R (〉=60) is the reflectivity in any direction under 60 degree or bigger reflection angle.This ratio preferably 0.0005 or littler, more preferably 0.0001 or littler.At this, " at any direction under 60 degree or the bigger reflection angle " is illustrated in the reflection angle between 60 degree and 90 degree.The antiglare film of being produced by following method has typical case shown in Figure 5 and reflects distribution, and under the situation of this antiglare film, reflectivity has its peak value usually and reduces gradually when reflection angle increases in the minute surface direction.Therefore, R (〉=60)/R (30) ratio can be by R (60)/R (30) than value representation, and wherein R (60) is the reflectivity under the reflection angle of 60 degree.When R (〉=60)/R (30) ratio surpassed 0.001, antiglare layer looked like the observability deterioration that makes display screen of white.That is, when on display screen, showing black white image, look like white by the whole screen of reflection exterior light when providing antiglare layer in the screen front.
Under the situation that reflection shown in Figure 5 distributes, specular reflectance R (30) is about 0.4%, and R (40) is about 0.0006%, and R (60) is about 0.00003%.
Except that the special reflecting of above explanation distributes, be 50 μ m by average area according to the surface of antiglare layer of the present invention 2-1500 μ m 2, preferred 300 μ m 2-1000 μ m 2Polygon form, wherein polygon uses the tip of the bossing of surface imperfection to form as generatrix by the Voronoi graduation on surface.
Explain the algorithm at the tip of bossing on the irregular surface of determining antiglare layer.When notice focuses on the lip-deep arbitrfary point of antiglare layer, if there is no highly be higher than the arbitrfary point point of arbitrfary point height on every side, and the height of arbitrfary point is higher than the intermediate value between the peak height and minimum point height on the irregular surface on the irregular surface, and then the arbitrfary point is the tip of bossing.Particularly, as shown in Figure 6, choose the lip-deep arbitrfary point 91 of antiglare layer.Using point 91 to draw radius as the center of circle on the plane parallel with the basic plane 93 of antiglare layer is the circle of 2 μ m-5 μ m.The height of on not existing by the surface 93 in antiglare layer drawn circular projection being described is higher than the point of point 91 height in the circle 94, and when putting 91 height and being higher than on the irregular surface intermediate value between the peak height and minimum point height, judging point 91 is the tip of bossing.In the case, the circle 94 of projection has such radius makes meticulous irregular being not counted on the sample surfaces, and circle 94 does not comprise a plurality of bossings.Therefore, the preferably about 3 μ m of radius of circle 94.By above method, also can count the number of bossing of the irregular surface of per unit area.
Number by the bossing of above method counting is preferably 50-150 in the zone of 200 μ m * 200 μ m, do not cause reflection to reach good observability or bleach.If the number of the bossing on the irregular surface of antiglare layer is less, produces dazzle by pixel interference and make the image that shows be difficult to see, particularly when being used in combination glare-proof polarizing film pressure material with display device with high definition.In addition, the texture deterioration of display image.When the number of bossing was too big, the angle of inclination of irregular shape became and makes that very suddenly image tends to bleach.The number of the bossing in 200 μ m * 200 μ m zones is preferably 120 or littler and 70 or bigger.
Now, explain the Voronoi graduation.When several points (being generatrix) when distributing in the plane, can the figure on graduation plane be Voronoi figure by determining the immediate generatrix in arbitrfary point on the plane, and the graduation on plane is called the Voronoi graduation by this figure.Fig. 7 illustrates and uses the surface to go up the example of the tip of bossing as the Voronoi graduation on the surface of the antiglare layer of generatrix.In Fig. 7, point 95 is generatrixs, and comprises that each polygon 96 of a generatrix is the zones that formed by the Voronoi graduation, and this polygon is called Voronoi zone or Voronoi polygon, and hereinafter referred to as the Voronoi polygon.Below will be explained in the zone 97 of blackening in the periphery of Fig. 7.In Voronoi figure, the number of generatrix equals the polygonal number of Voronoi.For easy, in Fig. 7, a part and the polygonal part of generatrix are represented by numeral 95 and 96 respectively.
For calculating the polygonal average area of Voronoi that uses the tip of bossing to obtain by the Voronoi graduation as generatrix, adopt suitable device such as confocal microscope, interference microscope, atomic force microscope (AFM) etc. to observe the surface configuration of antiglare layer, and definite D coordinates value.Then, according to the surface of following algorithm Voronoi graduation antiglare layer and calculate the polygonal average area of Voronoi.That is, determine the tip of bossing on the irregular surface of antiglare layer according to above algorithm and then with tip projection on the basic plane of antiglare layer of bossing.Thereafter, all three-dimensional coordinates projection on basic plane that will obtain by the measurement of surface configuration, and all subpoints are assigned to immediate generatrix to carry out the Voronoi graduation.Calculate polygonal area of all Voronoi and equalization to obtain the polygonal average area of Voronoi.In this measured, the polygonal area of Voronoi that counts out contiguous measurement zone border was with minimum error.Promptly under the situation of Fig. 7, the Voronoi polygon 97 of the blackening on contiguous measurement zone border is not included in the calculating of average area.In addition, for minimizing measuring error, preferably be to calculate the polygonal mean value of Voronoi at least in three zones of 200 μ m * 200 μ m in each zone, and with all mean values equalization and as measured value once more.
As mentioned above, in the present invention, be that the polygonal average area of Voronoi of generatrix is 50 μ m with the tip of bossing on the irregular surface of antiglare layer 2-1500 μ m 2, preferred 300 μ m 2-1000 μ m 2When the polygonal average area of Voronoi less than 50 μ m 2The time, the pitch angle of the shape of the surface imperfection of antiglare layer becomes and makes that very suddenly image tends to bleach.When the polygonal average area of Voronoi surpasses 1500 μ m 2The time, the irregular surface shape roughening of antiglare layer, the feasible texture deterioration that produces dazzle and image is particularly when being used in combination glare-proof polarizing film pressure material with the display device with high definition.
Use can be calculated the arithmetic mean height Pa and the maximum cross section height Pt of cross-section curve at the three-dimensional coordinate of this measurement, and they are defined by JIS B 0601 (=ISO 4287).In addition, the height of each point can adopt histogrammic formal specification on the irregular surface of antiglare layer.For reach good observability do not cause the reflection or bleach, the arithmetic mean height Pa of cross-section curve is preferably 0.08 μ m-0.15 μ m, and maximum cross section height Pt is preferably 0.4 μ m-0.9 μ m.When arithmetic mean height during less than 0.08 μ m, the surface of antiglare layer flattens substantially and makes it not have anti-dazzle performance.When arithmetic mean height Pa surpassed 0.15 μ m, the surface configuration roughening of antiglare layer made to produce such as bleaching and the problem of dazzle.As maximum cross section height Pt during less than 0.4 μ m, the surface of antiglare layer flattens substantially and makes it not have anti-dazzle performance once more.When maximum cross section height Pt surpassed 0.9 μ m, the surface configuration roughening of antiglare layer once more made to produce such as bleaching and the problem of dazzle.
When the height put on the irregular surface that adopts histogrammic formal specification antiglare layer, histogrammic peak value preferably be in intermediate value (50% highly) between peak height on the irregular surface (100% height) and the minimum point height (0% height) ± 20% scope in.This means histogrammic peak value preferably be at the highest notch the height and the difference in height of minimum point height 30% and 70% between scope in.If peak value not intermediate value ± 20% scope in, in other words, peak value be in greater than 70% or scope less than 30% peak height in, the then surface configuration roughening of antiglare layer makes dazzle undesirably to occur.In addition, the texture of outward appearance tends to deterioration.
Histogram for the explanation height, determine the highest and minimum point of height on the surface of antiglare layer (antiglare film), and subsequently with the difference (being the height of measurement point) of each measurement point height and minimum point height divided by the difference (being maximum height difference) of peak height and minimum point height to obtain the relative height of each point.Then in histogram with maximum height be 100% and minimum altitude be that 0% relative height that draw to obtain is to obtain the relative position of each point in the histogram.Should be with the histogram segmentation avoiding the influence of data error, and usually with its graduation into about 10-30 section.For example, will be from minimum point (0% height) to peak the span of (100% height) with 5% interval graduation, and the position of definite peak value.
The anti-dazzle surface that constitutes the antiglare layer with above-mentioned characteristic has by the shape that does not have the irregular covering on flat plane substantially.Anti-dazzle surface with this surface configuration can advantageously be produced by following mode: the impact by fine particle forms irregular on the sheet metal of polishing, electroless nickel plating is to form mould on the irregular surface of sheet metal, the surface imperfection of transfer mold arrives the surface of transparent resin film, and removes the irregular transparent resin film that contains transfer from mould.
By explaining method for optimizing with reference to figure 8 by above method production antiglare layer (antiglare film), it schematically show from produce contain on its surface irregular mould to use sheet metal as mold with the irregular xsect of transferring to the step of resin molding from mould.Fig. 8 A is presented at the mirror polish xsect of sheet metal 81 afterwards, and it has polished surface 82.Adopt fine particle impact (or sandblast) irregular the polished surface 82 of sheet metal 81 on surface 82, to form.The xsect of sheet metal 81 after Fig. 8 B is illustrated schematically in and impacts, it has the small recessed portion 83 of semisphere.Then, will have the irregular surface that is formed by impact adopts the nickel electroless plating to reduce the irregular degree of depth.Fig. 8 C is illustrated schematically in the xsect of sheet metal 81 behind the electroless plating of nickel.In Fig. 8 C, on the surface of sheet metal 81, form nickel coating 84 with small recessed portion, and the surface 86 of nickel coating 84 has irregular, compare its degree of depth with recessed surperficial 83 of Fig. 8 B and reduce by the electroless plating of nickel, even metal sheet surface irregularly shaped slows down and.Therefore, when adopting the nickel electroless plating to have hemispherical shape small recessed surperficial 83 time of sheet metal 81, can obtain to be suitable for basic uneven plane of having of production antiglare film and irregular mould, this antiglare film has preferred optical property.
Fig. 8 D schematically shows the irregular step of transferring to resin molding of the mould of Fig. 8 C that will form in the step formerly.That is, on the irregular surface of nickel coating 84, form resin molding.Thus, obtain to have the erose film 30 of transfer.Film 30 can be made up of the single film of thermoplastic transparent resin.In the case, will the thermoplastic resin film under heating status be pressed onto the irregular surface 86 of mould and squeeze and molding by hot pressing.Perhaps, shown in Fig. 8 D, film 30 can be made up of the resin bed 33 of transparent base film 32 and the ionization radiation curing of lamination on the surface of base material film 32.In the case, the resin bed 33 that ionization radiation is solidified contact with the irregular surface 86 of mould and by ionization radiation irradiation with curing resin layer 33.Thus, mould irregularly shaped transferred to the resin bed 33 that ionization radiation solidifies.Below explain in detail these films.Fig. 8 E is illustrated schematically in from mould and removes the xsect of film 30 afterwards.
In method shown in Figure 8, the preferred example that is used for the metal of production mould comprises aluminium, iron, copper, stainless steel etc.Among them, the easy metal by being out of shape by the impact of fine particle does not preferably promptly have those of high rigidity too.Especially, preferably use aluminium, iron, copper etc.Consider cost, be more preferably aluminium and soft iron.Mould can be the form of flat sheet metal or cylindrical metal volume.When using the scroll mould, can continuously production antiglare film.
Adopt fine particle impact or sandblast to have the metal of polished surface.Especially, preferably with medal polish near the state of minute surface because usually for example by cutting or grind sheet metal or volume machine work reaching required precision, and processing mark usually remains on the surface of metallic object thus.If keep dark mark, the surface of metallic object can still can have the mark of trace after adopting fine particle impact metal surface, because the degree of depth of some marks makes the dark mark of trace can have unpredictable influence to the optical property of antiglare layer greater than the irregular degree of depth that adopts fine particle to form.
The method of polished metal surface is unrestricted, and can use any mechanical buffing, electropolishing and chemical polishing.The example of mechanical buffing comprises superfinishing, polishes, fluid polishing, polishing etc.With regard to center line average surface roughness Ra, the roughness of metal surface is 1 μ m or littler after polishing, preferred 0.5 μ m or littler, more preferably 0.1 μ m or littler.When Ra was too big, the influence of surfaceness may keep made the metal surface distortion by the impact of fine particle after before the distortion.The lower limit of Ra can be unrestricted, but it can be practically from process time, and the viewpoint of processing cost etc. limits.
The metal surface is impacted the preferably sandblast job operation of method of fine particle.The example of sandblast job operation comprises sandblast, shot-peening, liquid honing etc.As the particle that is used for these job operations, shape near ball those than have a sharp edges those be preferred.In addition, the particle of preferred hard material is because they are not broken and form sharp edges during processing.The preferred example that satisfies the ceramic particle of these performances is spherical zircite pearl, alumina bead etc.The preferred example of metallics is bead of being made by steel, stainless steel etc.In addition, can use the particle that comprises pottery or bead that on resin binder, carries.
When particle mean size is 10-75 μ m, the particle of preferred 10-35 μ m, particularly spherical fine particle can be produced the antiglare film that satisfies form factor during as the fine particle that will impact on the metal surface, and this form factor comprises 50 μ m 2-1500 μ m 2, preferred 300 μ m 2-1000 μ m 2According to the present invention the definition the polygonal average area of Voronoi.As fine particle, have those of uniform particle size, promptly monodisperse particle is particularly preferred.When the particle mean size of fine particle too hour, be difficult on the metal surface, form gratifying irregular.In addition, the pitch angle of irregular shape becomes and makes that very suddenly image tends to bleach.When the particle mean size of fine particle was too big, dazzle may appear in surface imperfection coarse the making that become, and the texture of image may deterioration.
To have the irregular metal surface that is formed by said method then adopts the nickel electroless plating to reduce the irregular degree of depth.The kind of the irregular size that the degree that the degree of depth reduces depends on the kind of metal, formed by sandblast etc. and the degree of depth, nickel plating and thickness etc.The greatest factor that controlling depth reduces degree may be the thickness of nickel plating.If the thickness of electroless nickel plating is too little, may not can effectively reduce the irregular degree of depth that forms by sandblast etc., make and may improve optical property deficiently with the irregular antiglare film that shifts from mould.When the thickness of electroless nickel plating was too big, throughput rate reduced.Therefore, the thickness of electroless nickel plating is preferably about 3 to 70 μ m, and more preferably at least 5 μ m are to 50 μ m or littler.
For form plating layer on the metal surface, preferred employing can form the electroless plating of the plating layer with macroscopical uniform thickness on the surface of sheet metal or volume, and the electroless nickel plating of the plating layer of high rigidity particularly is provided.The preferred example of electroless nickel plating comprises uses gloss nickel plating, the nickel-phosphor alloy of the plating bath that comprises polishing material such as sulphur to plate (low-phosphorous type, middle phosphorus type or high phosphorus type), nickel-boron alloy plating etc.
If adopt the hard plating of describing among the JP-A-2002-189106, electrolysis chromium plating especially, then electric field tends to make that in the edge focusing of sheet metal or volume the thickness of coating metal can be different between center and peripheral.Therefore, have the irregular of the even degree of depth if formed by sandblast etc. on the whole surface of sheet metal or volume, then the degree of depth by plating reduces degree and can change everywhere on the surface of sheet metal or volume, and the result is irregular change in depth.Therefore, the electrolysis plating is not preferred for the present invention.
In addition, hard plating can form rough surface and therefore be unsuitable for producing the mould that is used for the production antiglare layer.For removing rough surface, polish the surface of hard plating usually.Yet the polishing of such plating surface as explained below is undesirable in the present invention.
Yet the present invention is not precluded within after the electroless nickel plating, forms flash plating chromium in outmost surface, and promptly so-called rapid chrome plating is to increase skin hardness.If carry out rapid chrome plating, then the thickness of rapid chrome plating layer is as far as possible little of avoiding the deterioration as the shape of the electroless nickel layer of priming paint, and should be preferably 3 μ m or littler, more preferably 1 μ m or littler.
Equally, not preferably polishing metal plate or volume after the plating in the present invention are as described in the JP-A-2002-90187.Make that the optical property of antiglare layer may deterioration if the surface of polishing plating, extreme outer surfaces can have flat part, and almost can not control irregular shape, because the number of shape controlling factor increases with good repeatability.Fig. 9 schematically shows sheet metal, and the irregular surface that has by impacting fine particle formation by polishing forms flat plane thereon, reduces this irregular degree of depth by electroless nickel plating.That is, Fig. 9 wherein polishes the surface of nickel coating 84 corresponding to the sheet metal of the electroless plating of Fig. 8 C.Because polishing is ground the part of the bossing of the surface imperfection 86 on the nickel coating 84 that forms on the sheet metal 81, and is formed flat plane 89 thus.
