Description

Surface light-diffusing polyester film
Technical field
The present invention relates to used light diffusing film in a kind of backlight liquid crystal display lamp unit, the lighting device etc. at big picture and high brightness.More particularly, relate to a kind of take into account light diffusing and light penetration and be accompanied by the generation of curling of temperature variation little, surface light-diffusing polyester film.
Background technology
In recent years, the technical progress of LCD is remarkable unusually, and the display device that is used as PC or televisor, portable phone etc. is extensive use of.Owing to do not have lighting function in independent liquid crystal display cells, so these LCD are provided with backlight unit at its back side, thereby can show.
Variety of way is arranged in backlight unit, yet be divided into two kinds haply.In general maximum modes is the mode that is known as directly-below type, is the mode that light source is in the inboard of irradiation face.In this mode and since light sources such as a plurality of cold cathode ray tubes can be disposed at the irradiation face under, therefore have and can obtain high brightness and the little feature of light loss.Thus, to be used for large-scale liquid crystal TV etc. large-scale and need in the LCD of high brightness more.
Another mode is the mode that is known as edge light type, it is following mode, promptly, light source is disposed at outside the irradiation face, driving fit fluorescent light approximate wire luminophors such as (mostly being cold cathode discharge tube) on one side that is disposed at the light guide plate of being made by transparent acrylic resin board etc. on the irradiation face or two sides is provided with the lampshade of being made by reflecting body and imports light in the light guide plate.This mode has little, the feature that can small-sized slimming of power consumption.Thus, miniscope that is widely used in subnotebook PC etc. etc. needs in the purposes of slimming, lighting especially.
To the desired function of the light guide plate of edge light type backlight unit be: the function that the light that will inject from the end forwards transmits, with the light that transmitted function to the output of liquid crystal display cells side.The former function is to determine according to used material and boundary reflection characteristic.In addition, the latter's function is according to the shape decision on the light guide plate surface of avoiding total reflection condition.As the formation method of the shape on this light guide plate surface, known have pair method of the diffusion material of the additional white in light guide plate surface and to the method for the Fresnel shape of additional biconvex lens in light guide plate surface or prism.But the light that penetrates from the light guide plate with these surface configurations can demonstrate the uneven distribution that is caused by its shape.So, in order to obtain high quality images, carried out following effort, that is, the light diffusing film is set on light guide plate, light diffusion, the scattering that will penetrate from light guide plate make the brightness of irradiation face even.
In these backlight units,, use sometimes and be known as the sheet with light-focusing function of prismatic lens or lens, thereby the light that will see through the light diffusing film is pooled to frontal as much as possible in order further to improve its front face brightness.Be arranged with small concavo-convex such as a plurality of prism-like or netted, pyramid shape on the surface of this sheet, will have seen through the emergent light refraction of light diffusing film and compile, improve the brightness of irradiation face to the front.This kind prismatic lens is that the face side at above-mentioned light diffusing film sets a slice or sets two and use overlappingly.
In addition, for the defective that makes the brightness disproportionation that produces because of setting of above-mentioned prismatic lens or prismatic lens unshowy (improving disguised), the face side at prismatic lens also sets the light diffusing film sometimes.
As light diffusing film used in the aforesaid backlight unit, the light diffusion layer that constitutes by the transparent resin that contains particulate in the surface-coated of biaxial stretching polyester film and film (for example with reference to patent documentation 1,2) become main flow.
Patent documentation 1: Japanese kokai publication hei 6-59108 communique
Patent documentation 2: No. 3698978 instructions of Jap.P.
But, in this method, light diffusion layer is set owing to need apply in the one side utilization of base material film, therefore can be because the difference of the linear expansion coefficient of light diffusion layer and base material film, and make the light diffusing film become the structure of thermometal shape, thereby the problem of curling that is caused by heating that is easy to generate is arranged.This problem is particularly large-scale and need become important problem gradually in the LCD high brightness, that adopt directly downward type backlight in recent years large-scale liquid crystal TV etc.This be because, the light diffusing film is large tracts of landization, then curling just becomes obvious more, in addition, display is high brightnessization, the then power consumption of light source, is that the thermal value of backlight just becomes big more.
In order to address this problem, need to realize bimetallic elimination.In general, adopt following countermeasure, that is,, form hard coat (non-light diffusing layer) to the thickness of tens of μ m to count μ m on the surface of the light diffusion layer of base material film, at folder every the two sides of light diffusion layer balanced line differential expansion stress.
But the thickness of above-mentioned hard coat is unwanted originally, becomes the increase that causes unnecessary thickness and the cause of increased of manufacturing cost for the light diffusing film.In addition, for the countermeasure of the polar expansion stress equilibrium that makes the table back side, the limit is arranged also, in formerly described big picture, the high brightness indicator, can only obtain not enough effect of sufficient.
In addition, in recent years, be purpose with the reduction of backlight unit number of parts or simplification, the cost degradation of manufacturing process, also carried out a lot with light diffusing film and other the incorporate research of optical functional film.
For example, prismatic lens (with reference to patent documentation 3) with following feature was disclosed, that is,, contain the light diffusion layer of a plurality of light transmission pearls in second side formation of above-mentioned base material at first side formation prism row of tabular light transmission base material with first and second these two first type surfaces.
In addition, following liquid crystal indicator lens (with reference to patent documentation 4) was also disclosed, that is, the light diffusion layer that will be made of the thermoplastic resin that has mixed light diffusing agent, the cambial two-layer laminate at least of prism shape that formed prism shape on the surface of the thermoplastic resin of unmixed light diffusing agent form.
In addition, the prismatic lens light scattering biaxial stretching polyester film (with reference to patent documentation 5) that utilizes light scattering agent that adds film inside to and the space that produces around it to give light diffusing was also disclosed.

Patent documentation 4: No. 3732253 instructions of Jap.P.
Patent documentation 5: TOHKEMY 2005-181648 communique
But, in the disclosed method,, therefore form so-called antidiffusion state in the patent documentation 3 owing to have the plane of incidence side that the light transmission pearl of lensing is located at light, have the problem that front face brightness reduces widely.Thus, utilize this method can't give enough brightness and light diffusing.
On the other hand, in the disclosed method, owing to utilize the light-scattering material of base material inside to give light diffusing, therefore the incident light of a part produces backscattering in patent documentation 4 or the patent documentation 5, thus the problem that has light penetration to reduce.
In addition, in recent years, excessively much want to make the biaxial stretching polyester film that has excellent thermotolerance, physical strength, thickness evenness concurrently itself to have the research of light diffusing.Make the polyester film that is made of single material in essence have integrated also the opened up road of the way of light diffusing for curling problem solution, diffusion sheet and prismatic lens function of above-mentioned heating, its industrialness is worth very big.
But, the trial that makes the biaxial stretching polyester film itself have light diffusing that is proposed up to now all can damage original certain speciality that has of biaxial stretching polyester film (thermotolerance, physical strength etc.), or the light diffusing film of infringement light penetration or light diffusing and so on the characteristic that should possess, do not reach practicability as yet.
For example, though disclosed film is pushed the original speciality that has of biaxial stretching polyester film that measuring tool has excellent thermotolerance, physical strength, excellent thickness evenness and so in the above-mentioned patent documentation 5, yet, therefore have the low problem of light penetration owing to be to utilize the bubble of the inside that is present in layer to give light diffusing.The bubble (space) that produces in the two-way stretch operation of film has and the parallel flat form in film surface.Thus, be used for as the light diffusing film under the situation of backlight unit, the major part generation backscattering of the light that from the irradiation face, penetrates, light penetration suffers damage.In fact, the total light penetration shown in the embodiment is the highest also nothing but 85.3%.
In addition, as the formation vibrin of the light diffusion layer that contains particulate, disclosed by used polyethylene terephthalate (PET) go up copolymerization 25mol% the isophthalic acid composition non-crystalline polyester interior lights diffusivity film and be laminated in its lamination light diffusing film (with reference to patent documentation 6) of constituting of PET film of one side at least.
Patent documentation 6: TOHKEMY 2001-272508 communique
In the said method, because the elimination in space is kept a close eye on, so light penetration improves.But it also is identical giving aspect the light diffusing in the light scattering that utilizes film inside in this method, still can't avoid being accompanied by the reduction of the light penetration that the backscattering of incident light produces.
In addition, in the film of patent documentation 6, the formation resin of substrate layer (PET homopolymer) is obviously different with the crystallinity of the formation resin (non-crystalline polyester) of light diffusion layer.Consequently, the biaxial stretching film of gained itself becomes the structure of thermometal shape, and biaxial stretching film itself curls because of heating produces easily.Thus, produce curling because of the thermal treatment of back in the manufacturing procedure, the environment for use (temperature) of LCD sometimes.
In addition, following film was disclosed, promptly, with fusing point below 210 ℃ or non-crystalline polyester as constituting resin, with the light diffusing layer that in this formation resin, cooperated the light diffusing adjuvant that constitutes by immiscible particle or thermoplastic resin as the middle layer, the stacked crystalline polyester resin layer (with reference to patent documentation 7~13) on its two sides.

In these methods,, therefore, improvement is to a certain degree arranged for the generation of curling that is configured to by unsymmetrical knot because the structure of film is a table back side symmetry.But, between light diffusing middle layer and superficial layer, have very big not change the problem that the planarity when existing temperature variation inherently worsens significantly because of the bed thickness change of a little or the rerum natura change at the table back side etc. aspect crystalline different.
In addition, in these methods, because the major part of film by amorphism or obviously lack crystalline polyester and constitute, therefore can't obtain thermotolerance, physical strength and the thickness evenness of the original excellence of biaxial stretching film.
The two-way stretch polyethylene terephthalate film (with reference to patent documentation 14) of the particle of the spherical or lens-shaped that has cooperated specified particle diameter was disclosed in addition.
Patent documentation 14: TOHKEMY 2002-37898 communique
In the patent documentation 14, disclose following film in an embodiment, that is, use the raw material of polyethylene terephthalate, have 88% total light penetration and 68% diffusion transmitance simultaneously as polyester.In addition, disclose the film of diffusion transmitance with total light penetration of 85% and 63%.But, basic characteristics such as the thermotolerance of unexposed any these films, physical strength, thickness and precision are not seen the possibility of acquisition as thermotolerance, physical strength and the high thickness and precision of the original feature of two-way stretch polyethylene terephthalate film fully yet.
This be because, although these films are respectively to stretch 3 times by the unstretching film with thick 200 μ m along longitudinal and transverse two directions, just with 9.0 times of films that stretch and obtain of area multiplying power, yet its thickness is 50 μ m, only 4.0 times of the area stretching ratios of the reality of calculating according to the thickness ratio before and after stretching.That is to say and can think that the stretching ratio that produces when being subjected to the shrinkage in width that produces or cross directional stretch when longitudinal stretching distributes and the influences such as change in size during thermal treatment, the setting multiplying power of stretcher deviates from significantly with actual stretching ratio.In addition, if actual area stretching ratio is the stretching about 4 times, even then can obtain excellent light penetration, in any case also can not realize thermotolerance, physical strength and high thickness and precision as the original feature of biaxial stretching film.
As mentioned above, the film base material of thermometal shape is accompanied by maximization, the high powerization of LCD with backlight unit, be easy to generate curling problem and become more and more obvious, for addressing the above problem, wish not to use actual stretched film (patent documentation 1,2) itself by the method for coated off-line.But, biaxial stretching film itself is had in the method for light diffusing, can't avoid the generation in the space of causing by the light diffusing particle, thereby the problem (patent documentation 3,4,5) that has total light penetration to reduce.As the method for the generation of avoiding the space, utilized in the past the resin proterties of implementation or the change of stretching condition always can not solve curling problem (patent documentation 6), the problem (patent documentation 7-14) of the mechanical strength reduction of film is perhaps arranged.That is, because therefore the mechanical characteristic of biaxial stretching film and the relation that optical characteristics belongs to antinomy can't obtain the film that any characteristic all satisfies.Thus, aspect overall quality, still not as good as method in the past, so said method does not reach practicability as yet to processing additional optical diffusion layer after the utilization of transparent base film.

Embodiment
The invention provides a kind of surface light-diffusing polyester film, it has suppressed the generation of curling that caused by heating, and the mechanical characteristic with the original excellence of biaxial stretching polyester film, has taken into account total light penetration and light diffusing in addition.In order to realize taking into account of above-mentioned characteristic, the present application people etc. are conceived to the relation of the planar orientation coefficient of film, inner turbidity and surface haze especially, further investigate.Consequently, discoveries such as the present application people, the described approach in following by adopting (1)~(7) just can be taken into account the characteristic that this belongs to antinomy, thereby form the present invention.So, at first these features of reaching approach are described.And can think, for taking into account the above-mentioned characteristic that belongs to antinomy, specific certain in the approach of just following (1)~(7) can not be contributed effectively, and is used in combination by the approach with (1)~(7), just can take into account the above-mentioned characteristic that belongs to antinomy first.
(1) control of the melting point resin of light diffusion layer
(2) control of fusing point difference
(3) control of the stacked formation of light diffusion layer
(4) control of the thickness of light diffusion layer
(5) light diffusion layer constitutes the control of the intrinsic viscosity of resin
(6) control of the melt viscosity difference of substrate polymer and immiscible resin
(7) control of draft temperature and temperature condition of heat treatment
(1) control of the melting point resin of light diffusion layer (B)
Surface light-diffusing polyester film of the present invention has the supporting course (A) of the crystallinity polyester that comprises the equal polyester of crystallinity or contain copolymer composition, and has the light diffusion layer (B) of the complexing compositions of the adjuvant that comprises the crystallinity polyester that contains copolymer composition and this immiscible property.Here, the equal polyester of crystallinity polyester/crystallinity is meant the polyester/equal polyester with fusing point.Endotherm peak temperature when so-called fusing point is fusing detected when once the heating up of so-called differential scanning calorimetric determination (DSC).Under the situation of using differential scanning type calorimeter measurement,, just be contained in the equal polyester of crystallinity polyester/crystallinity so long as can observe the clearly polyester of crystal melting thermal spike/equal polyester as fusing point.
If consider from the thermotolerance physical strength of film, the aspect of thickness and precision, then the fusing point of resin is high more good more.But, under the high situation of the fusing point of resin,,, just being easy to produce space (cavity) when stretching if therefore immiscible particle is arranged in resin because the drawing stress that produces together will increase, total light penetration reduces.The condition effect though the easness of the generation in space is also stretched as described later, however with the planar orientation coefficient of the film of made very strong relevance is arranged.The state of orientation of the macromolecular chain that forms in the film after the planar orientation coefficient is represented to stretch, this state of orientation is high more, and then mechanical strength is just strong more, and the space that produces in film is also just many more.Thus, reduce the planar orientation degree of film, suppress the generation in space, the fusing point that preferably will constitute the resin of light diffusion layer (B) is controlled within the specific limits.The lower limit of the fusing point of the crystallinity polyester that contains copolymer composition of formation light diffusion layer (B) is preferably 235 ℃, more preferably 240 ℃.If fusing point is 235 ℃, then can obtain to bring into play the orientation coefficient of the degree of desirable thermotolerance, physical strength and thickness and precision.In addition, the upper limit of the fusing point of the crystallinity polyester that contains copolymer composition of formation light diffusion layer (B) is preferably 255 ℃.If fusing point is below 255 ℃, then can suppress the generation in the space in the light diffusion layer (B), therefore preferred.
(2) control of fusing point difference
Surface light-diffusing polyester film of the present invention has the supporting course (A) of the crystallinity polyester that comprises the equal polyester of crystallinity or contain copolymer composition.In order to obtain thermotolerance, physical strength, the thickness and precision of regulation as film, be good with the high person of fusing point of the equal polyester of crystallinity polyester/crystallinity that constitutes supporting course (A).But, under the big situation of the fusing point that constitutes supporting course (A) and this two-layer resin of light diffusion layer (B), be easy to generate by curling that bimetal structure causes.Thus, the equal polyester of crystallinity polyester/crystallinity that constitutes supporting course (A) is preferably in 25 ℃ with the fusing point difference of the crystallinity polyester that constitutes light diffusion layer (B), more preferably in 20 ℃, more preferably in 10 ℃, more preferably in 8 ℃, be preferably especially in 5 ℃ again.If the fusing point difference is in 25 ℃, then the generation of curling that is configured to by bimetallic junction can be suppressed in the usage range.And, being preferably above-mentioned scope owing to constitute the fusing point of the resin of light diffusion layer (B), the upper limit of fusing point that therefore constitutes the equal polyester of crystallinity polyester/crystallinity of supporting course (A) is preferably 270 ℃.
The fusing point that constitutes the crystallinity polyester of supporting course (A) and light diffusion layer (B) can be copolymerized into the control of assigning to by importing.Particularly in the present invention, preferably in the crystallinity polyester that constitutes light diffusion layer (B), import the copolymer composition of ormal weight.By copolymer composition is imported in the polyester, just can control the planar orientation coefficient of biaxial stretching film, thereby can take into account light penetration and light diffusing to heavens.But if import copolymer composition too much, then the fusing point of polyester will reduce, and can't obtain the characteristic of the original excellence of biaxial stretching polyester film, therefore need be noted.Perhaps with respect to dextrose components generally speaking the import volume of copolymer composition, is preferably 3 moles more than the % with respect to aromatic dicarboxylic acid composition integral body, more preferably 5 moles more than the %, more preferably 7 moles more than the %, is preferably 8 moles especially more than the %.Under the situation of content greater than 3 moles of % of copolymer composition, can suppress the generation in space, take into account light penetration and light diffusing easily to heavens, therefore preferred.On the other hand, as the upper limit of the import volume of copolymer composition, be 20 moles below the % preferably with respect to mentioned component, more preferably 18 moles below the %, be preferably 15 moles especially below the %.Content at copolymer composition is under 20 moles of situations below the %, owing to can obtain the fusing point that the mechanical characteristic of biaxial stretching polyester film is in the degree of usage range, and therefore preferred.And, will narrate in the back for the composition of the copolymer composition that can be used for the present invention.
(3) control of the stacked formation of light diffusion layer (B)
Surface light-diffusing polyester film of the present invention is made of very important following sandwich construction, promptly, even numbers crystallinity polyester or, in the one side at least of the supporting course (A) that comprises the crystallinity polyester that contains copolymer composition, utilize that coetrusion is stacked to be comprised the crystallinity polyester that contains above-mentioned copolymer composition and be the light diffusion layer (B) of complexing compositions of the adjuvant of immiscible property to this polyester.
The scattering that the diffusion of the light in the light diffusion layer (B) can divide for scattering that the surface structure by film causes, be caused by the inner structure of film.Aforementioned scattering can be used as surface haze evaluation, and the aftermentioned scattering can be used as inner turbidity and estimates.Therefore the scattering of light that is caused by inner structures such as spaces can't obtain high total light penetration owing to be accompanied by backscattering.Yet do not have the situation that significantly reduces total light penetration by the scattering of light that surface structure causes, can obtain high light diffusing.But,, just be difficult to avoid be accompanied by the generation of curling of the structure of thermometal shape in order in light diffusion layer (B), to realize effective surface haze.Among the present invention,, just can be provided in the high film of surface haze when suppressing to heat the generation of curling by the approach of taking to be announced in (1) to (7).Promptly, surface light-diffusing polyester film of the present invention is by adopting above-mentioned sandwich construction, not only can utilize the concaveconvex structure on light diffusion layer (B) surface that causes by immiscible property adjuvant to give light diffusing, and can suppress the light scattering (inner turbidity) of the inside of film and realize high total light penetration.Like this, just can realize taking into account of high photopermeability and light diffusing.
Under the situation that surface light-diffusing polyester film of the present invention is used as prismatic lens, can by will the one side of supporting course (A) stacked the film of light diffusion layer (B) as base material, to the additional prism structure of face of the opposite side of light diffusion layer (B) and use suitably.It can be 2 layers of formation as mentioned above also that the layer of surface light-diffusing polyester film of the present invention constitutes, as long as can obtain effect of the present invention, the multilayer that also can be made as required more than 3 layers constitutes.If smooth (the not having concaveconvex structure) film of overlapped surfaces then can produce Newton ring on smooth transparent component, have the situation that observability reduces.Thus, under the situation that the film with invention uses as light diffusing sheet individually, in order to prevent, preferably at the stacked light diffusion layer in the two sides of supporting course (A) (B) by the generation that overlaps the Newton ring that causes with light guide plate or prismatic lens.And, for the composition of the immiscible adjuvant that can be used for the present invention, will narrate in the back.
(4) control of the thickness of light diffusion layer (B)
Surface light-diffusing polyester film of the present invention has supporting course (A) and light diffusion layer (B), yet in order to obtain surface light-diffusing polyester film of the present invention, the thickness of light diffusion layer (B) is very important.The surface haze of light diffusion layer (B) has the big more orientation that will become high more of concave-convex surface.Thus, the particle diameter of the adjuvant of light diffusion layer (B) is the bigger the better.In order to obtain effective particle diameter for surface haze, the lower limit of the thickness of light diffusion layer (B) is preferably more than the 3 μ m, and more preferably 4 μ m are preferably 5 μ m especially.
On the other hand, if the thickness of light diffusion layer (B) largely more than the particle diameter of immiscible adjuvant, then is difficult to form effectively surface relief structure.Thus, if strengthen the thickness of light diffusion layer (B), then concave-convex surface forms and will reduce, and surface haze reduces.In addition, along with the thickening of light diffusion layer (B), the inside turbidity that is caused by the inner structure of light diffusion layer (B) will uprise, and total light penetration reduces.In order to realize taking into account of high total light penetration and light diffusing, preferably in the scope of THICKNESS CONTROL below regulation with light diffusion layer (B).Thus, the upper limit of the thickness of light diffusion layer (B) is preferably 50 μ m, 30 μ m more preferably, and more preferably 25 μ m are preferably 20 μ m especially.
In addition, if light diffusion layer (B) uprises with respect to the ratio of film integral thickness (A+B), then be easy to take place the generation of curling that is configured to by bimetallic junction.In addition, increase owing to compare the ratio of the relatively low light diffusion layer of fusing point (B) with supporting course (A), therefore generally speaking be easy to generate uneven thickness as film, surface smoothing suffers damage.In addition, because light diffusion layer (B) contains a lot of copolymer compositions, therefore as generally speaking orientation coefficient reduction of film, mechanical characteristic reduces.On the other hand, if light diffusion layer (B) is little with respect to the ratio of film integral thickness, the then surface that the adjuvant in the light diffusion layer (B) will oriented film situation of oozing out or situation about coming off.Thus, preferably light diffusion layer (B) is controlled to be the scope of regulation with respect to the ratio of film integral thickness, is preferably 2~50% scope.Light diffusion layer (B) is preferably 2% with respect to the lower limit of the ratio of film integral thickness (A+B), and more preferably 3%, be preferably 4% especially.On the other hand, light diffusion layer (B) is preferably 50% with respect to the upper limit of the ratio of film integral thickness, and more preferably 35%, be preferably 20% especially.
(5) light diffusion layer (B) constitutes the control of the intrinsic viscosity of resin
The invention is characterized in, utilize coetrusion to give light diffusion layer (B).Because surface light-diffusing polyester film of the present invention is to be purpose with the optical applications, therefore the optical defect that is caused by foreign matter is few more good more, is utilizing coetrusion to supply with under the situation of resin, is preferably on the molten thread (melt line) foreign matter to be set and to remove filtrator.In order to make resin remove filtrator, need certain extrusion pressure, yet under the low situation of the intrinsic viscosity of resin,, therefore be difficult to carry out stable system film because the ejection stability during the extruding of molten resin reduces by foreign matter.In addition, under the low situation of the intrinsic viscosity of resin, the planar orientation coefficient step-down of the light diffusion layer of gained (B), the mechanical strength of film reduces.Can think that thus the intrinsic viscosity of the crystallinity polyester that contains copolymer composition of formation light diffusion layer (B) is high more good more.But the inventor has found astonishing relevance as follows between the intrinsic viscosity of this polyester and surface haze.
If the intrinsic viscosity of this crystallinity polyester uprises, the shearing force under then fusion is stirred will increase.Thus, if this crystallinity polyester and immiscible with it adjuvant are mixed in extruder, then the intrinsic viscosity of this crystallinity polyester is high more, and the shearing force under fusion is stirred just increases, and the dispersiveness of adjuvant is high more.This can think because adjuvant because of the shearing force of solvent grain refine takes place.At this moment, the particle diameter of adjuvant will diminish, and can't obtain effective dispersion diameter with the degree of light diffusion layer (B) surface being given good concaveconvex structure, and surface haze reduces.Hence one can see that, is taking into account of the mechanical strength of realizing light diffusion layer (B) and good light characteristic, and the intrinsic viscosity that preferably will constitute the crystallinity polyester that contains copolymer composition of light diffusing resin layer is controlled to be the scope of regulation.
Lower limit as the intrinsic viscosity of this crystallinity polyester is preferably 0.50dl/g, more preferably 0.52dl/g.If intrinsic viscosity, then is provided with foreign matter less than 0.50dl/g and removes with under the situation of filtrator in molten thread, the tendency that the ejection stability when having the extruding of molten resin reduces.In addition, the upper limit as the intrinsic viscosity of this crystallinity polyester is preferably 0.61dl/g, more preferably 0.59dl/g.Surpass under the situation of 0.61dl/g in intrinsic viscosity, the dispersion diameter of above-mentioned adjuvant in polyester diminishes, the tendency that has light diffusing to reduce.
(6) control of the melt viscosity difference of substrate polymer and immiscible resin
The inventor finds, in the melt viscosity difference of the adjuvant of this crystallinity polyester that constitutes light diffusion layer (B) and immiscible property; And following described relevance arranged between the surface haze of film.Utilize the non-adjuvant that mixes in the light diffusion layer (B) to form concave-convex surface, the surface haze that obtains stipulating among the present invention.The crystallinity polyester that contains copolymer composition that constitutes light diffusion layer (B) is stirred in extruder with the adjuvant of immiscible property and mixes.As the form of the adjuvant of immiscible property, preferred thermoplastic resin, however be under the situation of same degree at the melt viscosity of this crystallinity polyester and the melt viscosity of this adjuvant, two kinds of compositions disperse easily, this adjuvant generation grain refine.If the dispersion diameter of this adjuvant diminishes, then can't obtain good concaveconvex structure on light diffusion layer (B) surface, surface haze reduces.Thus, among the present invention, the melt viscosity difference of the crystallinity polyester that contains copolymer composition of formation light diffusion layer (B) and immiscible adjuvant is the bigger the better.This melt viscosity difference under 270 ℃ is preferably more than the 35Pas, more preferably more than the 40Pas.If melt viscosity difference is more than the 35Pas, then the adjuvant in the polyester of adjuvant just has good dispersion diameter, can obtain good light diffusing.
(7) control of draft temperature and temperature condition of heat treatment
The mechanical characteristic of film or optical characteristics also can utilize film forming condition to control.If owing to improve the draft temperature of film, then drawing stress will reduce, so the orientation coefficient step-down, the generation in space is suppressed.In addition,, therefore consider, preferably at high temperature stretch from the aspect of taking into account total light penetration and light diffusing owing to also form easily the concave-convex surface that the adjuvant by immiscible property causes.In addition, if at high temperature heat-treat, then the space disappears, and can reduce inner turbidity, and in addition, hot size changing rate also can diminish, and is difficult to produce curling in the thermal treatment.But if improve draft temperature, then the thickness variation of film will become greatly, produces uneven thickness etc., is difficult to obtain the original mechanical characteristic of film.In surface light-diffusing polyester film of the present invention, in order to realize taking into account of good mechanical characteristic, total light penetration and light diffusing, the best control film forming condition corresponding suitably, the particularly temperature when temperature during control stretching and thermal treatment with resin properties or demand characteristics.
When making surface light-diffusing polyester film of the present invention in that vibrin is stretched, the temperature during its cross directional stretch is preferably in 120 ℃ to 160 ℃ the temperature range.In addition, for thermal treatment, preferably under the condition more than air quantity 25m/ minute, in 235 to 250 ℃ temperature setting range, in 5 seconds to 100 seconds scope, heat-treat.And, at this moment,, then have the situation that optical characteristics reduces if film temperature surpasses 240 ℃.In addition, also can implement vertical or horizontal relaxation processes with the thermal treatment while or after thermal treatment.

In addition, under planar orientation coefficient (Δ P) surpasses 0.16 situation, though according to the kind of used adjuvant and difference, yet the quantity in the space that around adjuvant, produces or the big or small tendency that has increase.Just have scattering-in (inner turbidity) thus and become the tendency that big, total light penetration reduces.In any case, (Δ P) is under the situation below 0.16 at the planar orientation coefficient, can realize taking into account of total light penetration and light diffusing.
On the other hand, if the planar orientation coefficient is more than 0.08, then can bring into play the feature as biaxial stretching film, thermotolerance, physical strength, thickness evenness etc. are good, can suppress to heat curling generation.
The method that the planar orientation coefficient is controlled to be in the above-mentioned scope is arbitrarily, for example can control by the ratio that is adjusted at the copolymer composition in the above-mentioned crystallinity polyester that contains copolymer composition.If increase in the light diffusion layer or supporting course (A) in the ratio of copolymer composition, then the planar orientation coefficient will reduce, and in addition, if reduce the ratio of copolymer composition, the planar orientation coefficient is risen.The ratio of preferred copolymer composition as previously mentioned.
In addition, also can utilize polymer blending or copolymerization, control the above-mentioned glass temperature that contains the crystallinity polyester of copolymer composition.If the reduction glass temperature, the orientation in the two-way stretch operation then described later reduces, and can reduce the planar orientation coefficient.In addition, reduce the intrinsic viscosity of raw material polyester used in the light diffusion layer, also can obtain identical effect.Preferred intrinsic viscosity as previously mentioned.
In addition, utilize the adjustment of two-way stretch condition described later, also chain of command orientation coefficient to a certain extent.In order to reduce the planar orientation coefficient, as long as set the draft temperature of longitudinal stretching or cross directional stretch higher, or set stretching ratio lower, perhaps heat treatment temperature is set higher getting final product.To narrate in the back for preferred two-way stretch condition.
(characteristic of optics)
In addition, be characterised in that among the present invention that surface haze is more than 15%, and inner turbidity is less than surface haze.Surface haze is the characteristic that derives from the concave-convex surface of light diffusion layer.Thus, penetrating from film surface in the light, perhaps injecting in the film surface at light, because of light by the refraction of the concave-convex surface of light diffusion layer, and surface haze is improved.So surface haze is irrelevant basically with total light penetration.Thus, by improving surface haze, just can under the state of the reduction that has suppressed total light penetration, improve light diffusing.
On the other hand, inner turbidity is the characteristic that derives from the light scattering of film inside.Thus, total light penetration can reduce because of the backscattered influence of incident light.So, having excellent light diffusing in order to make, a light diffusing polyester film of high total light penetration, valid approach is to improve surface haze, and reduce inner turbidity as much as possible.
The surface haze of surface light-diffusing polyester film of the present invention is more than 15%.Be limited to 20% under surface haze preferred, be limited to 25% under preferred, be limited to 30% under particularly preferred.If surface haze is more than 15%, then can look like to bring into play effective diffusion effect to the printing decorative pattern of light guide plate, the lamp of cold-cathode tube, can obtain effective light diffusing energy as the light diffusing film.
On the other hand, the preferred higher limit of surface haze is 60%, and preferred higher limit is 70%, is limited to 80% on further preferred.If surface haze is below 80%, then can suppress inner turbidity, total light penetration has the tendency that uprises.
In addition, inner turbidity is very important less than surface haze.The higher limit of inner turbidity is preferably 40%, and more preferably 30%, more preferably 20%, be preferably 10% especially.
Identical at inner turbidity with surface haze, perhaps surpass under the situation of surface haze, inner turbidity will be undertaken the main part of the light diffusion function of film, and in the inner generation of film (being accompanied by backscattered) light scattering, total light penetration reduces widely.On the other hand, the lower limit of inner turbidity is preferably 1%.Inner turbidity less than 1% film in, have the tendency that can't obtain enough surface haze.
In addition, surface light-diffusing polyester film of the present invention preferably has the total light penetration more than 86%.The lower limit of preferred light penetration is 87%, and further preferred lower limit is 88%.
In addition, the light diffusing of light diffusing film can for example can utilize as vividness and estimate quantitatively.So-called is the index of the distinct degree of expression when passing film and watching light source such as fluorescent light as vividness, is to measure as vividness according to JIS K 7105 " the optical characteristics test methods of plastics ", the picture vividness of utilizing usual way to estimate.The picture vividness is more little, shows that then disguise is good more, and light diffusing can be excellent more.
In the surface light-diffusing polyester film of the present invention, be in the penetrant method of 2mm, can obtain the picture vividness below 40% at the optical comb width.The higher limit of preferred picture vividness is 20%, and preferred higher limit is 15%.And, the smaller the better as vividness, however if vividness is reduced to more than the essential degree, inner turbidity will uprise, and total light penetration reduces.Among the present invention, be preferably 1%, more preferably 3% as the lower limit of vividness.
In addition, the light diffusing of light diffusing film can for example can utilize and to have used the light intensity that sees through of color technical institute system goniophotometer GP-200 in the village further to estimate quantitatively.To be made as I (0) through the value of 0 degree of the light angle in the light intensity, the value of light angle N degree is made as I (N), with utilize that following calculating formula tries to achieve see through light strength ratio and be made as S (N) time, if the value of the S when for example N=1 spends (1) is big, then will be become many through light what 0 periphery that sees through light of spending spread, therefore the distinctiveness of the picture that passes film and see can be reduced, good disguise can be obtained.In the surface light-diffusing polyester film of the present invention, can obtain S (1) and be the value more than 75%.It is big more to see through light strength ratio, shows that then disguise is good more, and light diffusing is excellent more.If the value of S (1) is less than 75%, then light diffusing reduces, and can't obtain good disguise, and is therefore not ideal enough.
S(N)=I(N)/I(0)×100
And, though it is just excellent more to see through the big more light diffusing of light strength ratio, yet, then often have the situation that I (0) reduces if want to increase to more than the essential degree with seeing through light intensity, consequently, the front face brightness of backlight unit reduces.The higher limit of S in the surface light-diffusing polyester film of the present invention (1) is preferably 99%, and more preferably 95%, more preferably 85%.
(characteristic of mechanics)
In addition, among the present invention,, therefore can obtain thermotolerance, physical strength and the excellent thickness and precision of the original excellence of biaxial stretching film owing to use the crystallinity polyester as the raw material of film.
With regard to thermotolerance, 150 ℃ size changing rate is laterally, all be preferably below 6% on vertically, is limited to 4% on preferred, is limited to 3% on particularly preferred.Be limited to 2.5% on further preferred, be limited to 2% on further preferred, be limited to 1.5% on particularly preferred, be limited to 1% on further particularly preferred.On the other hand, 150 ℃ laterally, size changing rate is the smaller the better longitudinally, yet can think that 0% is lower limit.Under size changing rate is situation below 3%, at high temperature the processing or the use under the hot environment, change in size or planarity are worsened, can keep good planarity.Consequently, can reach the original purpose of the light diffusing film that the brightness homogenization of the light-emitting face of backlight unit is such.And, the so-called flow direction (coiling direction) that laterally is meant the film when making film among the present invention, what is called vertically is meant vertical with it direction.
In addition, no matter laterally still longitudinally on which direction, the lower limit of the tensile strength of film all is preferably 100MPa, and more preferably 130MPa is preferably 160MPa especially.If tensile strength is more than the 100MPa, then can bring into play the intensity of the mechanics of biaxial stretching film, not good situation such as in the manufacturing procedure of film, be difficult to crack, break, fracture, tear.
In addition, the uneven thickness of surface light-diffusing polyester film of the present invention is preferably below 5.0%.
Under the uneven thickness of film is situation below 5.0%, when being wound on film on the reel, be difficult to produce wrinkle or projection, can keep planarity.Consequently, the brightness of the light-emitting face of the backlight unit homogeneous that becomes can be realized the original purpose of light diffusing film.
In addition, surface light-diffusing polyester film of the present invention is preferably below the 5mm in the crimp values of 100 ℃ of following heat treated after 30 minutes under uncharged state.
Under situation about crimp values being made as below the 5mm, the disposal during operation under for example the nothing when packing final products into as the light diffusing film stretches will become good.In addition, even in the use under processing at high temperature or the hot environment, the distortion that also can suppress film produces, and can realize the original purpose of the light diffusing film that the brightness homogenization of the light-emitting face of backlight unit is such.
With regard to the inhibition of curling, as previously mentioned, can adjust by the control supporting course (A) and the fusing point difference of light diffusion layer (B), yet furthermore, headed by the crystallization degree of the film thickness direction that is caused for the cooling velocity difference of controlling the table back side cooling when extruding, by curling that the structure difference at the film table back side of being given in each operation such as preheating, stretching, cooling, coiling causes, the method that advantageous applications is following etc., promptly, the structure that produces the film table back side energetically is poor, it is poor to remedy the certainty structure, makes crimp values near zero.
Specifically, by in stretching process such as longitudinal stretching or cross directional stretch and heat treatment step, the temperature or the heat at the film table back side is made as different values, come the degree of orientation at the controlling diaphragm table back side independently, take into account the structure at the film table back side or the condition of rerum natura by employing, and realize zero film that curls.
In addition, as the basic important document that is used for stably producing under the very low state that curls on whole width spreading all over, the uneven few drawing process rules of used thickness also are very important.
More particularly, preferably by for the longitudinal curl of just making behind the film, the structure at the film table back side during the control longitudinal stretching is poor, for horizontal curling, the structure at the controlling diaphragm table back side is poor when cross directional stretch and heat setting, and add reciprocal internal modification, and take into account the internal modification that the structure difference by the film table back side that certainly leads to causes, suppress curling.
In addition, the thickness of surface light-diffusing polyester film of the present invention is arbitrarily, is not particularly limited, yet is preferably the scope of 25~500 μ m, more preferably the scope of 75~350 μ m.
(manufacturing of biaxial stretching film)
Among the present invention, as the method that satisfies above-mentioned characteristic, the manufacture method below for example preferred the use.
Below, for the preferred manufacture method of surface light-diffusing polyester film of the present invention, at the particle of pet copolymer (the following polyester that also abbreviates as sometimes) is elaborated as the typical example as the crystallinity polyester that contains copolymer composition of the raw material of light diffusion layer (B).
The pipe arrangement that typically uses regulation when transferring above-mentioned particle utilizes air to transport to carry out, sneak in order to prevent dust, and the air of this moment preferably adopts the air that uses the cleaning of HEPA filtrator to change.This moment used HEPA filtrator preferably to use the nominal filtering accuracy be the filtrator with performance of the dust more than the 0.5 μ m that can intercept 95% or more.
At first, as the pleurodiaphragmatic in terspace material, with polyester, with polyester be that the thermoplastic resin of immiscible property utilizes vacuum drying or heated-air drying respectively, be dried to moisture rate and be less than 100ppm.Then,, supply with, melt extrude with sheet to extruder with each raw material metering, mixing.Then, use static to apply method, metal rotation roller (chilled roll) driving fit with the sheet and the surface temperature control of molten condition is 10~50 ℃ blows cold wind and carries out cooling curing from opposite one side in addition, and the PET sheet is not stretched.
