Embodiment
For further setting forth the present invention for the technological means reaching predetermined goal of the invention and take and effect; below in conjunction with accompanying drawing and preferred embodiment; to the polarization element diaphragm proposed according to the present invention, Polarizer and its embodiment of liquid crystal display cells, structure, feature and effect thereof, be described in detail as follows.
The polarization element diaphragm 1 of Fig. 1 has transparent substrate layer 2.
Substrate layer 2 is cellulose esters system.Substrate layer 2 is cellulosic low-grade fatty acid ester system particularly preferably.Lower fatty acid in so-called cellulosic low-grade fatty acid ester, refers to that carbon number is the fatty acid of less than 6, include, for example cellulose acetate, cellulose propionate, cellulose butyrate etc., particularly preferably cellulose-acetate propionate.In addition, as described later, one or more adjuvants can be added in substrate layer 2 except the cellulose esters such as cellulose-acetate propionate.
Because substrate layer 2 is cellulose esters system, therefore utilize saponification process that the ester group on surface is replaced to the hydroxyl as hydrophilic radical, thus easily then on the polarization element be made up of the polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) as hydrophilic resin.Particularly according to cellulose-acetate propionate, available commercial run easily carries out saponification process, and accurately and economically can form the micro concavo-convex shape 3 of substrate layer 2 inner face described later.In addition, cellulose-acetate propionate can utilize because meltbility is excellent and extrudes thin slice forming process and be shaped, and does not therefore need halogenated solvent, also excellent with regard to environment aspect and energy-conservation aspect.
Substrate layer 2 has the micro concavo-convex shape 3 being formed at inner face.The surfaceness of substrate layer 2 inner face caused by this micro concavo-convex shape 3, the lower limit of preferred Ra (arithmetic average roughness) is 1 μm, is preferably 2 μm, is more preferably 3 μm, and preferably the higher limit of Ra is 10 μm, is preferably 8 μm, is more preferably 6 μm, is especially preferably 4 μm, is particularly preferably 3 μm.Because this polarization element diaphragm 1 is the micro concavo-convex shape 3 at the whole inner face of substrate layer 2 with described size, so the surface area of substrate layer 2 inner face obviously increases.Therefore, according to this polarization element diaphragm 1, the area of polarization element or adhesion agent layer and substrate layer 2 inner faces contact can increase, and thus improves with the adherence of polarization element and adhesion agent layer.In addition, if carry out saponification with alkali to the cellulose esters substrate layer 2 that inner face as mentioned above has obviously broad surface area, so can produce a large amount of hydroxyls as hydrophilic radical in interior face surface, therefore in this way, also can effectively improve with the adherence of the polarization element be made up of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and adhesion agent layer.In addition, if the surfaceness of substrate layer 2 inner face is less than described scope, so the surface area of inner face can not increase fully, therefore the raising of adherence not obvious.In addition, if the surfaceness of substrate layer 2 inner face exceedes described scope, so through light surface uniformity decline.
In addition, the inner face due to substrate layer 2 has described concaveconvex shape 3, so when making this substrate layer 2 or polarization element diaphragm 1 be shaped, and when reeling with roller, this concaveconvex shape 3 can be utilized to prevent intermembranous contact closely.Therefore, according to this polarization element diaphragm 1, the adhesion after reeling can be prevented and make film realize long size.
The mean roughness (Rz) at preferred ten places of the surfaceness of substrate layer 2 inner face is more than 2 μm less than 60 μm, is preferably more than 2 μm less than 30 μm.By making the surfaceness of substrate layer 2 inner face in described scope, and the surface area of inner face can be expanded further, and the adherence with polarization element and adhesion agent layer can be improved.If the mean roughness (Rz) at ten places of substrate layer 2 inner face exceedes described scope, so can form the position of the very thin thickness of substrate layer 2, therefore the intensity of substrate layer 2 can decline.If the mean roughness (Rz) at ten places of substrate layer 2 inner face is less than described scope, so the surface area of inner face can not increase fully, and can not show the raising effect of adherence.
In addition, the mean roughness (Rz) at ten places of preferred substrates layer 2 inner face is less than more than 1 15 relative to the roughness ratio (Rz/Ra) of arithmetic average roughness (Ra), be preferably less than more than 1.5 15, be more preferably less than more than 2 15.Usual polarization element diaphragm is preferably the few polarization element diaphragm of bright spot.So-called bright spot, refers to orthogonal configuration two panels Polarizer, between these Polarizers, configures cellulose ester membrane, and when observing cellulose ester membrane from the face of a slice Polarizer, the light of light source leaks and visible point.The mean roughness (Rz) at ten places is the parameters of concavo-convex size representing local, if roughness ratio (Rz/Ra) is large, so local exists a large amount of concavo-convex greatly.One of concavo-convex bright spot become on film of this local.Therefore; become the mode of described scope with roughness ratio (Rz/Ra) by the micro concavo-convex shape 3 of substrate layer 2 inner face, entirety is roughly formed uniformly, and can reduce the concavo-convex inequality of inner face; therefore reduce bright spot, and improve the quality as the diaphragm of polarization element.If the roughness ratio (Rz/Ra) of substrate layer 2 inner face exceedes described scope, so owing to can produce because of the minor gap caused by concaveconvex shape 3 between polarization element and substrate layer 2 inner face, and adhesion declines, and adherence declines on the contrary.In addition, if the roughness ratio (Rz/Ra) of substrate layer 2 inner face exceedes described scope, so can form the position of the very thin thickness of substrate layer 2, therefore the intensity of substrate layer 2 declines.
The average thickness of substrate layer 2 is preferably more than 10 μm less than 200 μm, is more preferably more than 20 μm less than 100 μm.It is more than 10 μm by making the thickness of substrate layer 2, and intensity and the rigidity of appropriateness can be obtained, and Absorbable organic halogens and easily carry out film manufacture, on the other hand, by making the thickness of substrate layer 2 be less than 200 μm, and the linear velocity, productivity, controlling etc. when can improve manufacture.
Cellulose esters for substrate layer 2 is raw material with cellulose, manufactured by the acidylate of hydroxyl.In cellulose esters used in the present invention, the degree of substitution for cellulosic hydroxyl is not particularly limited, and can measuring the conjugation of fatty acid on cellulosic hydroxyl, obtaining degree of substitution by calculating.The mensuration of degree of substitution can utilize the method specified in the D-817-91 of ASTM (American society for testing materials) (American Society for TestingMaterial, ASTM) to carry out.
