Description

Composite polarizing plate and the IPS mode LCD that uses it

Technical field

The present invention relates at polarizing coating a face applying transparent protective film, at the composite polarizing plate of another face applying phase retardation film and the IPS mode LCD that uses it.

Background technology

Liquid crystal indicator has little power consumption, in characteristics such as low voltage operating, light weight, slim bodies, be used to various demonstrations with in the devices.Liquid crystal indicator comprises multiple materials such as liquid crystal cells, polarizing coating, phase retardation film, light-collecting piece, diffusion barrier, light guide plate, light-reflecting sheet.Therefore, piece number by reduce constituting film or make film or the thickness attenuation of sheet, with boost productivity, in the carrying out that the improvement of lightweight, lightness etc. is positive.

And then requiring liquid crystal indicator is the goods that can stand harsh durable condition.For example, for the liquid crystal indicator that Vehicular navigation system is used, be placed in the car, sometimes temperature, humidity can become very high, in addition, display of using for display, TV, the computer of mobile phone, portable terminal machine etc. etc., according to they environment for use, the place is set, sometimes also can there be the situation in the violent condition of the variation that is exposed to temperature and humidity, therefore requires also to bear the product properties of under rigor condition like this, using.

Polarization plates is generally on the two sides of polarizing coating or single face is laminated with the structure of transparent diaphragm, and described polarizing coating contains the polyvinyl alcohol resin film that the absorption orientation has the dichromatism pigment.

Polarizing coating can be made by the following method: to the polyvinyl alcohol resin film carry out that vertical single ax stretches and dyeing based on the dichromatism pigment after, carry out boric acid again and handle and cause cross-linking reaction, then wash, drying.As the dichromatism pigment, can use iodine or dichromatism organic dyestuff.At the two sides or the single face stacked guard film of the polarizing coating that obtains like this, make polarizing coating, just can be assembled in the liquid crystal indicator and use.For diaphragm, use with the cellulose acetate resin film of cellulose triacetate as representative more, its thickness is generally about 30～120 μ m.In addition, stacked for diaphragm, the tackifier that use the aqueous solution by polyvinyl alcohol resin to constitute more.

By the polarization plates that such parts constitute, under the long-time situation about using, polarization property decline sometimes or diaphragm and polarizing coating become and are easy to peel off under wet heat condition.

Therefore, attempt utilizing acetate fiber prime system resin in addition to constitute at least one side's diaphragm.For example, put down in writing following technology in JPH08-43812-A: be laminated with in the polarizing coating of diaphragm on the two sides of polarizing coating, the thermoplastic norbornene that utilizes the function with phase retardation film is at least one side that resin constitutes diaphragm.In addition, in JPH09-325216-A, put down in writing following technology: utilize the film of birefringence to constitute at least one side in the protective seam of polarizing coating.

On the other hand, in the phenylethylene resin series film, owing to compare with the polarizability of the main chain of phenylethylene resin series, the polarizability of side chain big (being polarized to negative sometimes) is being studied with this as the big negative phase retardation film of the refractive index of thickness direction.But, in the phenylethylene resin series film, also there is the problem of thermotolerance, physical strength and drug resistance, do not reach practicability as yet.

Here, the negative phase retardation film that the refractive index of so-called thickness direction is big is meant that the refractive index with the largest refractive index direction in the face (slow axis direction) is made as n _x, the refractive index with its orthogonal directions (leading phase shaft direction) in the face is made as n _y, the refractive index of thickness direction is made as n _zThe time, exist

Relation and (n _x-n _z)/(n _x-n _y) defined N _zCoefficient is about the film of 0 (zero).

Thermotolerance for phenylethylene resin series, known by make its with form glass transition temperature (below, sometimes slightly be called Tg) monomer of high resin, the method improved of norborene, maleic anhydride copolymerization for example, but physical strength, drug resistance are insufficient.

Also proposed a plurality of by making styrene and other monomer copolymerization, the technology of folded other resin beds on styrene mesentery upper strata.For example, in JP2002-517583-A, put down in writing, to be the technology that random copolymers in essence that the aromatic vinyl monomer of typical example and alpha-olefin form is made film with styrene, also have the enlightenment of the sandwich construction of making this film and other polymeric layer.In addition, in JP2003-50316-A, JP2003-207640-A, having put down in writing with non-cyclic olefin monomer and cyclic olefin monomers and with styrene is that the aromatic vinyl monomer of typical example carries out copolymerization and forms terpolymer, multipolymer is made the technology of phase retardation film.And then, in JP2003-90912-A, put down in writing the alignment films that will contain the alignment films of norbornene resin and contain the styrene-maleic anhydride copolymer resin and carried out stackedly by adhesive layer, make the technology of phase retardation film; In JP2004-167823-A, put down in writing the technology that on the multilayer film of polyolefin, is laminated with the polystyrene sheet material.In addition, in JP2006-192637-A, also put down in writing following technology: do not containing the stacked second layer that contains the acrylic resin composition that is combined with rubber particles on the ground floor of phenylethylene resin series film, making phase retardation film across adhesive layer.

In addition, for for the IPS pattern of a kind of drive pattern of liquid crystal indicator, liquid crystal molecule and real estate almost abreast and almost same direction ground be orientated, therefore compare the angle of visibility excellent with the liquid crystal indicator of other drive patterns.But, even such with the IPS pattern be representative carrying out in the various liquid crystal indicators of angle of visibility characteristic improvement, still can produce the angle of visibility interdependence.

For the angle of visibility interdependence to the IPS mode LCD compensates, various technical schemes have been proposed.As one of them, the method for the angle of visibility by polarizer compensating polarizing plate is effective.For example, in JPH02-160204-A, the ratio of the length of delay of the length of delay when having put down in writing from vertical direction incident with from the direction incident of normal slope 40 degree the time is in the phase retardation film in certain scope, for example, and the phase retardation film that is orientated at thickness direction.In addition, in JPH07-230007-A, put down in writing to make through the thermoplastic resin film of uniaxial tension and produced thermal shrinkage and the controlled phase retardation film of angle interdependence of length of delay by form with regulation, for example, the also phase retardation film that is orientated at thickness direction.By with such polarizer that is orientated at thickness direction, between the polarization plates and liquid crystal cell substrate of either party among 2 pieces of polarization plates that dispose so that the axis of homology of the polarization plates of the adjoining mode parallel with the slow axis of polarizer is configured in the holding liquid crystal unit, execute effectively for the compensation angle of visibility.

In addition, at T.Ishinabe etal., ' Novel Wide Viewing Angle Polarizer withHigh Achromaticity ', SID 00DIGEST, p.1094-1097 in, put down in writing the following fact, i.e. the N of preamble definition _zCoefficient is that polarizer 0.25 and 0.8, that carry out the thickness orientation has better effect.And then, in JPH11-133408-A, put down in writing following technology, for the IPS pattern, between liquid crystal cell substrate and polarization plates, be configured to positive uniaxiality mode and have the phase retardation film (layer of compensation) of optical axis, promptly be configured in the phase retardation film that thickness direction carries out uniaxial orientation in the direction vertical with real estate.

But the production rate variance that these carry out the polarizer of thickness orientation needs accurate processing, so the goods costliness.

And then, compensation at the angle of visibility interdependence of IPS mode LCD, the following technology of record in JPH10-54982-A:, improve the angle of visibility interdependence between liquid crystal cell substrate and at least one side's polarization plates by the polarizer (optical compensating gage) with negative uniaxiality is installed.In this communique, show and to have the optical axis of the polarizer of negative uniaxiality, be i.e. leading phase shaft, the example that is configured in the mode parallel with the major axis of liquid crystal molecule.Therefore, hope will be used for the film-stack of above-mentioned optical compensation in polarization plates, supply with the form of the one-piece type polarization plates of optical compensation films.Yet, in the mechanism of the optical compensation that proposes up to now, can't fully solve problems such as colour vision displacement (colour shift), tone reversal, expect further optimization.

In addition, in situation, be uniformly even the angle of orientation of each phase retardation film monomer distributes with the stacked use of phase retardation film more than 2 pieces, it when stacked, also can produced color spot in certain location sometimes, thereby existing problems.
