Abstract

This optical film manufacturing method involves a step in which an elongate resin substrate is stretched in the length direction while being conveyed in said length direction and is subsequently contracted in the width direction (stretching and contracting step). Using a tenter stretching device provided with multiple clips as holding means for holding the elongate resin substrate, said stretching and contracting step involves holding both ends of the elongate resin substrate at a conveyance-direction clip interval L1, stretching the elongate resin substrate in the length direction by expanding said clip interval from L1 to L2, and subsequently contracting the elongate resin substrate in the width direction by reducing the width-direction clip interval. The clip interval L1 is less than or equal to 60mm, and the clip interval L2 is an interval at which interference does not occur between clips when the width-direction clip interval is reduced.

Fig. 2 and Fig. 3 is respectively the major part approximate vertical view of the stretching device of Fig. 1.Fig. 2 is figure In the stretching device of 1, from the rail of the part that MD stretch zones B divides a word with a hyphen at the end of a line to TD constriction zone C The approximate vertical view in road.Fig. 3 is in the stretching device of Fig. 1, from TD constriction zone C to releasing district The approximate vertical view of the track of the part that territory D divides a word with a hyphen at the end of a line.As shown in Figures 2 and 3, tapered portion Two ends are considered separately as the bending section 11,12 bent with special angle (θ 1), thereby, and can be with interorbital Connect apart from certain line part.Shrinkage factor and productivity ratio that angle of bend is visually required and suitably set Fixed.Angle of bend θ 1 can be such as 1 °~20 °.
In use stretching device as illustrated in Figure 1 situation time, contraction-stretching process can include as Lower operation: grasped edge, the both sides (grasping of duplexer by fixture with grip separation L1 of conveyance direction Operation);Make duplexer by line part while the grip separation of conveyance direction being extended to from L1 L2, thus stretch (MD stretching process) in length direction;Duplexer is made to pass through tapered portion thus in width (TD contraction process) is shunk in degree direction.Also can optionally and then include following operation: stacking will be grasped The fixture of body releases (releasing operation).Fig. 4 and Fig. 5 be respectively represent comprise the contraction of these operations- The skeleton diagram of one example of stretching process.Hereinafter, with reference to these figures, while to shrinking-stretching work Each operation in sequence illustrates in more detail.
First, in grasping operation (grip areas A), by the fixture 20 of left and right, grab with certain Hold the edge, both sides that interval (grip separation) grasping is loaded to the duplexer 50 of stretching device, pass through The movement of each fixture 20 guided by the circular orbit of left and right, and by this duplexer 50 to MD Stretch zones B transports.Grasping about the edge, both sides in grip areas A is spaced (grip separation), For representativeness, it is considered the most equal interval.Furthermore, so-called grip separation, for adjacent folder Distance in the heart in Ju.
Then, in MD stretching process (MD stretch zones B), transport by the fixture of left and right The duplexer 50 of 20 graspings, stretches (MD stretching) in length direction.The MD of duplexer 50 Stretch through following operation to carry out: increase the fixture 20 translational speed to conveyance direction at leisure, from And the grip separation of conveyance direction is extended to L2 from L1.By adjusting MD stretch zones B's Grip separation (the grasping interval in grasping operation) L1 Yu the MD drawing zone of the conveyance direction of porch Grip separation L2 of the conveyance direction in the exit of territory B, can control stretching ratio (L2/L1).
Stretching ratio (L2/L1) in MD stretching process for example, 1.1 times~6.0 times, preferably 1.1 Times~5.5 times, more preferably 1.8 times~3.0 times.If stretching ratio does not reaches 1.1 times, then exist not The situation of the optical characteristics needed for acquisition.On the other hand, if stretching ratio is more than 6.0 times, then exist The situation of duplexer fracture.
Herein, if grip separation L1 is excessive, then speculate not grasped by fixture 20 in duplexer 50 Part produce as in width shrink stress, its result is, the optics of the polarizing coating obtained Characteristic (such as, polarization characteristic) produces inequality.Accordingly, as one of inventive feature, between fixture It is set as every L1 suppressing below the interval of the generation of above-mentioned inequality.
Specifically, grip separation L1 is below 60mm, preferably below 50mm, more excellent Elect below 40mm as.By L1 is set to below 60mm, uneven generation can be suppressed, its Result is, can make to be processed by slit and the cut-off width removed diminishes.Lower limit as L1 Want after stretching, to reach following grip separation L2, then without system limit, such as, can be more than 25mm.
On the other hand, if below being as above set to grip separation L1 to be specifically spaced, then existing Following situation: according to the difference of stretching ratio, grip separation L2 after MD stretching also can diminish, Produce the interference such as fixture 20 contacts with each other in tapered portion (especially bending section), and cannot reach required Shrinkage factor (as result, it is impossible to the optical characteristics needed for acquisition).Therefore, grip separation L2 sets For duplexer 50 by fixture during TD constriction zone C (the especially bending section) that be considered tapered portion More than 20 intervals not interfered with each other.By being set to above-mentioned L2, L1 will not be restricted in bending Interval that portion's fixture does not interferes with each other and can diminish.Furthermore, so-called " fixture does not interferes with each other ", Mean fixture and hold component or interval guiding mechanism will not contact with each other, fixture can as set as in Bending section moves.
The visual angle of bend of grip separation L2, the size of fixture, shape etc. and suitably set.Folder Tool interval L2 is preferably 25mm~130mm, more preferably 35mm~50mm.If between fixture In L2 is above-mentioned scope, then in TD contraction process, tapered portion (especially bending section) can be avoided In fixture 20 interference each other and realize sufficient angle of bend, and receipts evenly can be realized Contracting.Furthermore, it is curved greatly and lentamente by making the bending radius (R) in bending section become, even if Grip separation diminishes, and also can avoid fixture interference each other.But, when this situation, exist as follows Problem: must be around big curved the track that formed, thus equipment enlarging.It is directed to this, in the present invention, Carry out, so the fixture of above-mentioned preferred scope can compatibly be taken into account after MD stretches owing to TD shrinks Interval L1 and L2, its result is, not only can suppress uneven generation, also can avoid the said equipment Maximization problem.
The formation material of the draft temperature visual thermoplastic resin base material of duplexer etc. and be set as arbitrarily Suitable value.Draft temperature is for representativeness, for the glass transition temperature of thermoplastic resin base material More than degree (Tg), the preferably glass transition temperature (Tg) of thermoplastic resin base material more than+10 DEG C, And then preferably more than Tg+15 DEG C.On the other hand, the draft temperature of duplexer is preferably 170 DEG C Below.By stretching under said temperature, the crystallization of PVA system resin can be suppressed to enter rapidly Exhibition, thus the exception that suppression is caused by this crystallization (such as, hinders the PVA system carried out by stretching The orientation of resin bed).
Then, in TD contraction process (TD constriction zone C), by by the fixture 20 of left and right The duplexer 50 of grasping transports in length direction, and in width, duplexer 50 is shunk (TD Shrink).In TD constriction zone C, circular orbit 10R, 10L of left and right are considered interorbital The tapered portion that distance is continuously reduced, therefore by by this region, carries out duplexer 50 to width side To contraction.TD shrinkage factor can by adjust track space from variable quantity and be controlled.Specifically For, more make the track space at outlet (releasing region D side end) place of TD constriction zone C from phase For TD constriction zone C entrance (MD stretch zones B side end) place track space from ratio Diminish, more can obtain bigger shrinkage factor.
((width of the duplexer of the porch of TD constriction zone C: W1)-(TD receives TD shrinkage factor The width of the duplexer in the exit of contracting region C: W2))/(layer of the porch of TD constriction zone C The width of stack: W1) × 100) may be set to the most suitable value.TD shrinkage factor is preferably more than 15%, and then preferably more than 20% and do not reach 50%.By being set to above-mentioned shrinkage factor, can obtain more Excellent optical characteristics.
In the embodiment illustrated in Fig. 4, in TD contraction process, only carry out duplexer 50 To the contraction of width.When this situation, in the state of the grip separation (L2) maintaining conveyance direction Under, make duplexer 50 by TD constriction zone C.On the other hand, in the enforcement illustrated in Fig. 5 In mode, in TD contraction process, carry out duplexer 50 to the contraction of width and to length The stretching in direction.When this situation, the grip separation of conveyance direction is extended to L3 from L2, While making duplexer 50 by TD constriction zone C.In MD stretching process and TD contraction process In, can be by making final stretching ratio uprise so that the multistage carries out MD stretching.It addition, pass through Carry out TD to shrink and MD stretching simultaneously, following effect can be obtained: flexure or the product of gauffer can be suppressed Raw.
About the stretching ratio of the duplexer after TD contraction process (for the stretching in MD stretching process The product of the stretching ratio in multiplying power and TD contraction process, the most final stretching ratio.TD receives Contracting operation comprise MD stretching situation time final stretching ratio be L3/L1, TD contraction process not Final stretching ratio when comprising the situation of MD stretching is L2/L1), relative to the script of duplexer Length, for example, more than 3.0 times, preferably more than 4.0 times.By entering with above-mentioned higher multiplying power Row stretching, can obtain the polarizing coating of the optical characteristics with excellence.
Temperature environment in TD contraction process can be identical with the draft temperature in MD stretching process.
Finally, in releasing in operation (releasing region D), the fixture 20 of grasping duplexer 50 is released. In releasing in operation, for representativeness, it is believed that spacing jig from and grip separation the most certain.Depending on needing Want, after duplexer 50 is cooled to required temperature, release fixture.
