For example; At inoranic membrane 14 is to embody under the situation of film (choke film) of gas barrier property; From the flatness that helps gas barrier property, stable on heating viewpoint, be preferred by the formed organic film 16 of the polymer of the cationically polymerizable compound that in functional group, has radical polymerization property compound and/or ether.Wherein, be that the acrylic resin of principal component or organic film 16 that isobutylene resin forms are preferred illustration especially by condensate with acrylic acid ester and/or methacrylate salt monomer.
The organic film 16a of substrate can be identical organic compound with organic film 16b, also can be different organic compounds.In addition, each organic film 16b can be identical organic compound, also can be dispar, the mutual different organic compound of organic film 16b of the superiors (surface) only for example.
Inoranic membrane 14 and the organic film 16a of substrate and organic film 16b (below, gather be also referred to as organic film 16 with both) form (film forming) by known method.
Specifically, inoranic membrane 14 generally becomes embrane method (gas phase method of piling) to form through gas phases such as plasma CVD, sputter, vacuum evaporations.And organic film 16 generally forms through cladding process or flash method.
At this, in manufacturing approach of the present invention, preferred feedstock film 12 (supporting mass Z) is a strip, and inoranic membrane 14 preferably when rectangular quilt is become film base material conveyance along its length, becomes embrane method to form through gas phase.
In addition, inoranic membrane 14 preferably forms under the state on the side face that will be hung over drum cylindraceous by one-tenth film base material (being the back side of supporting mass Z) volume.
Fig. 2 conceptually representes the one of which example.
Example shown in Figure 2 is based on aforesaid reel-to-reel method (Roll to Roll; Below, be also referred to as " R to R ") example, promptly; Use the rolls that rectangular rolls coiled web-like is formed; See base material off from this volume, in conveyance along its length, carry out film forming, and the base material after the film forming end is wound into web-like once more.
Need to prove that this film forming based on R to R not only forms inoranic membrane 14, and is suitable for forming organic film 16 etc.
In illustrative example, what form inoranic membrane 14 is rectangular tympan by becoming film base material Zi, as being wound into being loaded by film forming rolls 26 of web-like.By becoming film base material Zi for example is rectangular supporting mass Z (Fig. 1 (A)); Or be formed with the organic film 16a of substrate on the surface of supporting mass Z and the rectangular tympan (Fig. 1 (B)) that constitutes, or on supporting mass Z, be formed with the organic film 16a of substrate, inorganic layer 14 and organic layer 16b and the rectangular tympan (Fig. 1 (C)) that constitutes.
To be become film base material Zi from being pulled out by film forming rolls 26, conveyance along its length, and through guide reel 28a guiding and conveyance to drum 20.By conveyance to drum 20 by become film base material Zi hung over by volume drum 20 side face the regulation zone and be positioned at the one-tenth film location of regulation; In along its length by conveyance; The film forming mechanism 24 of utilization and drum 20 opposite disposed becomes embrane method to form inoranic membrane 14 with gas phases such as sputtering method or plasma CVDs.
Form the inoranic membrane 14 film base material Zi that become afterwards and be directed roller 28b guiding, and be rolled into web-like once more by winding off spindle 30.
When becoming embrane method to form (film forming) inoranic membrane 14 through gas phase, being become film base material Zi is the heat that supporting mass Z produces during by film forming.
The result is, when cool to room temperature, on supporting mass Z, produce because of with the different internal stress that cause of the thermal coefficient of expansion of inoranic membrane 14.The internal stress of this supporting mass Z is the reason that causes inoranic membrane 14 fractures in the cut-out of material film 12 etc., can specify afterwards.
At this, in this R to R device,, applied the tension force that conveyance is used along its length to becoming film base material Zi for conveyance is along its length become film base material Zi.Supporting mass Z has tension force to be applied under the state on the direction this, and the formation through inoranic membrane 14 is heated, and therefore, the internal stress of supporting mass Z becomes bigger.
In addition, with volume on drum 20 hang film base material Zi be the state of supporting mass Z when carrying out the film forming of inoranic membrane 14 too, the formation through inoranic membrane 14 is heated supporting mass Z under the state of bending stress being applied with.Therefore, when on drum 20, forming inoranic membrane 14, it is bigger that the internal stress of supporting mass Z also becomes.
Especially, example as shown in Figure 2 is such, and on drum, carrying out in the device of film forming through R to R, based on the effect that multiplies each other of tension force and bending stress, it is big that the internal stress of supporting mass Z further becomes.
Manufacturing method according to the invention even this have through R to R or rouse into the big material film 12 of the internal stress of film formed inoranic membrane 14 and supporting mass Z, also can appropriate inhibition be cut off the fracture of the inoranic membrane 14 that causes etc.
That is to say, utilize above-mentioned formation method to form the material film 12 that inoranic membrane 14 constitutes, can embody the effect that prevents the manufacturing approaches of the present invention such as fracture of inoranic membrane 14 when cutting off better through use.
The manufacturing approach of functional film of the present invention is that this material film with supporting mass Z and inoranic membrane 14 12 is cut off, and processes the method for functional film of the section shape of regulation shape (given size).
Fig. 3 representes the one of which example.
In example shown in Figure 3, as preferred exemplary, material film 12 is rectangular tablets, this rectangular material film 12 is wound into web-like and constitutes film rolling 34, as this film rolling 34 film 12 that supplies raw material.
In example shown in Figure 3, at first, pull out rectangular material film 12 from film rolling 34, go up at width (perpendicular to the direction of length direction) and cut off, become billet material film 12S.Then, the both ends of the width of this billet material film 12S are cut off in the longitudinal direction, become the functional film F of regulation shape.Need to prove that in the cut-out of billet material film 12S, width and length direction are the width and the length direction that are cut to the rectangular material film 12 before the billet (below, abbreviate " width " as and reach " length direction ").
Fig. 3 (A) conceptually representes an example of the cut-out of width.
In this example, at first, utilize carrying roller rectangular material film 12 to be pulled out from film rolling 34 to 36, and by carrying roller to 36 (arrow a direction) conveyances along its length, on width, cut off simultaneously by rotary cutter 38.Through the cut-out of this rotary cutter 38, become and cut into slices the accordingly billet material film 12S of shape of the length of the functional film F that makes.
Rotary cutter 38 is known rotary cuttves, and its side face at the columned rotary body 38a with rotating shaft consistent with width (center line) has the blade 38b that broad ways is extended.Symbol 40 among Fig. 3 (A) is supporting station (following sword or blade bear seat).
Rotary cutter 38 is same with known rotary cutter; Through rotate to the conveyance direction (arrow b direction) of material film 12 synchronously (make the conveyance speed of rotary speed and material film 12 of front end of blade 38b consistent) with the carrying of rectangular material film 12; Thereby the material film 12 of conveyance is along its length cut off on width, process billet material film 12S.
At this, in the example shown in Fig. 3 (A), rectangular material film 12 is that the mode of top among the figure is drawn out with the formation face of inoranic membrane 14 grades, and by carrying roller to 36 conveyances, be cut off simultaneously.In addition, the billet material film 12S that makes through cut-out be rotated cut 38 downstream carrying roller to the position of 36 conveyances to regulation.
Carrying roller to 36 in; The roller 36b that is connected to supporting mass Z of downside is common columned roller, and the roller of the forming face that is connected to inoranic membrane 14 of top is near the what is called band step roller 36a of end (perhaps the end) diameter greater than zone (middle section) diameter beyond it among the figure.
As previously mentioned, inoranic membrane 14 is thin and intensity is low, therefore sustains damage because of contacting with miscellaneous part etc. than being easier to.
But; Example as shown in Figure 3 is such; The roller of the forming face side that is connected to inoranic membrane 14 is made band step roller 36a, form the structure of the non-product area that cuts off after only being connected to, thus; Can suitably prevent breakage or the damage etc. of the inoranic membrane 14 of product area, make suitable product thereby can stablize.
In example shown in Figure 3; As above-mentioned with rectangular material film 12 cutting off on the width after processing billet material film 12S; Then; Shown in Fig. 3 (B), the width both ends of the material film 12S of billet are gone up at length direction (arrow a direction) cut off, process the functional film F of regulation shape.
The cut-out at these width both ends as an example, is to carry out through the shearing device 42 shown in Fig. 3 (C).
This shearing device 42 has two clippers 46 and constitutes with cutting apart roller 48.
Cut apart roller 48 and be the roller of the direction of paper (among the arrow a direction=Fig. 3 (C) perpendicular to) conveyance along its length with billet material film 12S, and be divided into the width two ends off-position the inboard central portion and width two ends off-position the outside this three part of outside portion cut apart roller.
Clipper 46 is known clippers, and it has the rotation upper slitter 46a of discoid (circle) and rotates 46b down.Two rotating knifes have rotating shaft, said rotating shaft with perpendicular to direction (that is the width of billet material film 12S) unanimity by the conveyance direction of cutting apart roller 48 conveyance billet material film 12S.In illustrated example, two clippers 46 are configured in the off-position of the width at both ends in the same position of length direction (conveyance direction).In addition, the diameter of cutter 46b is identical with the diameter of cutting apart roller 48 under the rotation, and cutter 46b is fixed in the rotating shaft 48a of cutting apart roller 48 under the rotation between central portion and outside portion.
Therefore; In illustrated example; Billet material film 12S is cut apart roller 48 conveyance along its length, and the assigned position at the width both ends is cut off by two clippers 46 along its length simultaneously, thereby becomes the functional film F of section shape such, the regulation shape shown in Fig. 3 (B).
At this, in the manufacturing approach of functional film of the present invention, the off-position that makes material film 12 (12S) is the above temperature of glass transformation temperature (Tg) of supporting mass Z, thereby carries out the cut-out (cutting off processing/severing processing) of this material film 12.Need to prove that the above temperature of the Tg of supporting mass Z is the above temperature of Tg of the organic compound that forms supporting mass Z.
In the example shown in Fig. 3 (A); As an example; Through utilizing not shown heating arrangements that supporting station 40 is heated; Make the off-position of material film 12 become the above temperature of Tg of supporting mass Z, utilize rotary cutter 38 that material film 12 broad ways are cut off, make billet material film 12S.In addition; In the example shown in Fig. 3 (C); As an example, through utilizing not shown heating arrangements following cutter 46b is heated, make the off-position of billet material film 12S become the above temperature of Tg of supporting mass Z; Utilize clipper 46 that the width end of the material film S of billet is cut off along its length, process functional film F.
Manufacturing approach of the present invention is through having such formation; Can suppress significantly can stably make the functional film of performance regulation performance because of cut-out produces fracture or crackle and then the peeling off etc. of the inoranic membrane 14 that causes because of this fracture etc. on inoranic membrane 14.
As previously mentioned, inoranic membrane 14 intensity that form on as the material film 12 of functional film are low and crisp, and generally thinner.Therefore, when cutting into the regulation shape, meeting generation fracture or crackle near cut-out portion (cut-out line).In addition, because the connecting airtight property of inorganic compound and organic compound is not so high, therefore when this fracture waits binding, produce peeling off of inoranic membrane 14 etc.
In functional film, if on the inoranic membrane 14 that embodies as the function of purpose, produce fracture or peel off etc., then functional film just can't be brought into play the function as purpose.For example, if air blocking thin film, when the choke film at periphery had fracture to wait, steam can pass through from the part of this fracture, therefore can not get the gas barrier property as purpose.
With respect to this; In manufacturing approach of the present invention; Become the above temperature of Tg of supporting mass Z through the off-position that when cutting off, makes material film 12 (12S), thereby suppress because of the fracture of cutting off near the inoranic membrane 14 that produces, off-position (cut-out line) is significantly etc.
At this, shown in the flat 4-372396 communique of TOHKEMY 2001-337411 communique or TOHKEMY etc., in that being cut off, bar adds man-hour, and or be cut off thing to the cutter that cuts off and heat.
Described heating/cut-out is to be object with the tablet that is only formed by organic compound; The corresponding heating of softening point with polyolefin resin film of the flat 4-372396 communique record of heating that the Tg with image formation layer that is put down in writing by TOHKEMY 2001-337411 communique is corresponding or TOHKEMY also clearly can be known; With because of cut-out easily the film that maybe will protect of the film (layer) of damage as object cut tablet is heated to be the temperature corresponding with their rerum natura.
With respect to this; Manufacturing approach of the present invention with material film 12 with the supporting mass Z that forms by organic compound and inoranic membrane 14 as object; It is not the inoranic membrane 14 that heats generations such as wanting to prevent to rupture; But the off-position of material film is heated to be the corresponding temperature of Tg with the supporting mass of material film (functional film), prevent the fracture of inoranic membrane 14 etc. thus.
The heating of this off-position is based on the diverse following technical conceive of the heating that is cut off thing or cutter in processing with the cut-out of prior art.
As previously mentioned, the inoranic membrane 14 of embodiment predetermined function such as choke film or antireflection film is becoming embrane method to form (film forming) through gas phases such as plasma CVD method, sputtering method, vacuum evaporations under the situation mostly.
As previously mentioned, when becoming embrane method to form inoranic membrane 14 through this gas phase, in film forming, the film base material Zi that become that forms inoranic membrane 14 is heated.That is, have among the present invention of functional film of the supporting mass Z that plastic sheeting etc. forms by organic compound, when the formation of this inoranic membrane 14, also heat supporting mass Z in manufacturing.Under the situation of bulging film forming as shown in Figure 2, usually, cool off through drum cooler 20 and to be become film base material Zi, but can't avoid the heating of supporting mass Z.
Through this heating, supporting mass Z expands.In addition, expanded by the inoranic membrane 14 of film forming also Yin Re.At this, in supporting mass Z and the inoranic membrane 14 as inorganic compound as organic compound, thermal coefficient of expansion is very different.
Therefore, after the film forming, when cool to room temperature,, on supporting mass Z and inoranic membrane 14, produce mutually different internal stress because the thermal coefficient of expansion of supporting mass Z and inoranic membrane 14 is poor.That is, in material film 12, the internal stress that is in this supporting mass Z applies the state of unwanted power to inoranic membrane 14.
In addition, as previously mentioned, to being become film base material Zi to carry out conveyance and simultaneously under the situation of film forming, or hang film base material Zi and carry out under the situation of bulging film forming of film forming at volume on the drum 20 of that kind such as R to R shown in Figure 2, said internal stress becomes greatly.
At this, when cutting off material film 12 (and billet material film 12S, below, omit), near the off-position of material film 12 since the compressing of cutter etc. be out of shape, and, will be after the cut-out from the distortion recovery.
When cut-out has the material film of supporting mass Z and inoranic membrane 14, the internal stress different that supporting mass Z has and the power of material film 12 distortion and will be synthesized from the power that distortion is restored with inoranic membrane 14.Thus, inoranic membrane 14 is applied big power, near the off-position of inoranic membrane 14, produce fracture or crackle etc. in off-position.
With respect to this, in manufacturing approach of the present invention, when cutting off material film 12,, under the state of the internal stress of removing (inhibition) this supporting mass Z, cut off thus through off-position being heated to be more than the Tg of supporting mass Z.That is, form more than the Tg through the temperature with supporting mass Z, make the distortion when cutting off and be the state by inoranic membrane 14 dominations from being recovered to of distortion, the power that puts on inoranic membrane 14 reduces significantly.
The result is that power is applied on the inoranic membrane 14 owing to when cutting off material film 12, do not have improperly, therefore can reduce near the situation that off-position, produces fracture or crackle significantly.In addition, owing to be the heating severing, can also suppress to produce overlap or rubbish etc. from supporting mass Z or organic film 16 etc.
Therefore, manufacturing method according to the invention, the inoranic membrane 14 that can prevent to embody predetermined function is because of cut-out damages, and can stably make to have regulation shape (given size) and have the functional film F as the performance of purpose.
In manufacturing approach of the present invention, so long as the temperature of the off-position of material film 12 is above getting final product of Tg of supporting mass Z when cutting off.
But, if temperature is too high, then under situation, might produce harmful effect to these films with supporting mass Z or organic film 16 etc., and, the distortion of supporting mass Z etc. also might be produced.Therefore, during cut-out the temperature of the off-position of material film 12 preferably below the fusing point of supporting mass Z.
Consider that from above-mentioned viewpoint the temperature of the off-position of material film 12 is preferably at below Tg+20 ℃ of supporting mass Z, and is especially preferred at below Tg+10 ℃ of supporting mass Z.
At this; Material film 12 has the structure of the film that is formed by organic compound; Especially the material film 12c shown in the material film 12b shown in organic film 16 Fig. 1 (B) or Fig. 1 (C) is such, under the situation of the material film with structure that inoranic membrane 14 clipped by organic film 16, when cutting off; Also add the internal stress that this organic film 16 is had, more be easy to generate the fracture of inoranic membrane 14 etc. during cut-out.
Therefore; Have at material film 12 under the situation of the film that organic film 16 grades form by organic compound, preferably the temperature of the off-position of material film 12 is formed the temperature more than Tg soprano's among the film that is formed by organic compound of supporting mass Z and existence the Tg.Thus, near the fracture in the time of can suppressing to cut off better off-position etc.
Heating means for the off-position of material film 12 do not have special qualification.As an example, as shown in Figure 3, illustration has method that the cutter that cuts off is heated or pair method that the parts that contact with material film 12 heat when cutting off, and the method for utilizing direct heating raw films 12 such as heater.And then, can also suitably adopt and utilize laser (laser beam) off-position of material film 12 to be heated the method for cutting off simultaneously.
In addition, the heating of the heating of material film 12, the cutter that cuts off, as long as the heating of the parts that contact with material film 12 is through contact or contactless known method.
In addition, the shut-off mechanism of material film 12 also is not limited to the such rotary cutter of illustrated example or adopts the clipper of two discoid rotating knifes.
For example the clipper of guillotine type cutting knife or upper slitter with discoid rotating knife and fixing following cutter, adopt the shut-off mechanism of stamping-out known tablets such as (mould stamping-outs) of cutter of the shape of the functional film F that surrounds manufacturing to be used.
In manufacturing approach of the present invention, basically as long as when cutting off material film 12, off-position formed the temperature more than the Tg of supporting mass Z.
But if the temperature scope that to be the Tg of supporting mass Z above is excessive, then supporting mass Z receives heat waste, might produce degradation unfavorable condition under functional film F distortion or the mechanical strength.In addition, in the present invention,, near the off-position of material film 12, heat, and be otiose away from the heating of off-position for fracture of suppressing inoranic membrane 14 etc.
On the contrary,, then can not fully handle the zone that all are out of shape because of cut-out, also might fully suppress the fracture of the inoranic membrane 14 that the cut-out because of material film 12 causes etc. if temperature is the above narrow limits of Tg of supporting mass Z.
Therefore, in the present invention, be schematically shown like Fig. 4, with figure on the direction of off-position (cutting direction/the cut-outs line) L-orthogonal shown in the chain-dotted line, regional w1 and w2 that the temperature of material film 12 is made as more than the Tg of supporting mass Z are preferably 2~10mm.
Thus, can fully suppress the generation of fracture etc. of the inoranic membrane 14 of off-position, can also suitably prevent that the damage of supporting mass Z that heat causes etc. is expanded on a large scale simultaneously.
In example shown in Figure 3, rectangular material film 12 is cut off on width, cut off the both ends of width afterwards, thereby process the functional film F of regulation shape.But the present invention is not limited to this, also can be earlier with clipper etc. will rectangular material film 12 width two end-grain cutting fall cut-out and process the functional film F of regulation shape on width afterwards.
But, be left at last through the end of the width that will egress falls, can make the conveyance that contacts with this part or be treated as possibility, can prevent because of the damage that contacts the inoranic membrane 14 that causes with product area etc.Therefore, as shown in Figure 3, preferred on width, the cut-out earlier carried out the cut-out of width end at last.
In addition, above example is to make the functional film of regulation shape through rectangular material film is cut off on width and two ends length direction, but the invention is not restricted to this.For example, can also rectangular material film only be cut off the functional film of making the regulation shape on width.
And then, can also use the material film of section shape, make the functional film of regulation shape through this material film being carried out once above cut-out.
More than the manufacturing approach of functional film of the present invention is specified, but the invention is not restricted to above-mentioned example, in the scope that does not break away from purport of the present invention, can also carry out various improvement and change.
For example, the functional film of the section shape of manufacturing of the present invention is not limited to rectangles such as square or rectangular, can also be used as different shapes such as shape circular or that have a curvilinear limit.
