The manufacturing method of circularly polarizing plate 52 may further include: the layer 43 that will contain the liquid crystal layer with composition layer with After the process of the second liquid crystal layer 20 fitting with substrate layer, the process ((b) of Fig. 3) of the second substrate layer 21 is removed, specially The process ((b) of Fig. 3) of the second substrate layer 21 is removed from the circularly polarizing plate 51 with substrate layer.In addition, the system of circularly polarizing plate 52 The method of making may further include: in 21 side of the second substrate layer for the second liquid crystal layer 22 that the second substrate layer 21 of removing exposes Adhesive composition layer 35 used for optical elements is formed in exposed surface, obtains the circularly polarizing plate 53 (circularly polarizing plate) with adhesive composition layer Process ((c) of Fig. 3).As shown in (c) of Fig. 3, the circularly polarizing plate 53 with adhesive composition layer successively comprising polarization plates 60, partially Vibration plate adhesive layer 36, the first liquid crystal layer 12, adhesive layer 30, the second liquid crystal layer 22 and adhesive composition layer 35 used for optical elements, It therefore, for circularly polarizing plate obtained in the present invention and can be also the band bonding group with adhesive composition layer used for optical elements Close the circularly polarizing plate of nitride layer.
In the manufacturing method of circularly polarizing plate 52, as shown in (b) of (e) of Fig. 1, (a) of Fig. 2 and Fig. 2, from containing liquid The first liquid crystal layer 12 removing first base material layer 11 in the layer 41 containing the liquid crystal layer with substrate layer of the layer 42 of crystal layer and exposing 11 side of first base material layer exposed surface (hereinafter sometimes referred to as " exposed surface of the layer 42 containing liquid crystal layer ") on, formed bonding group Close nitride layer 30a.Compared to the side opposite with first base material layer 11 of the first liquid crystal layer 12, adhesive composition layer 30a is more shown Out with the compatibility of the exposed surface of the layer 42 containing liquid crystal layer.Therefore, compared in first liquid crystal layer 12 and first base material layer The case where 11 opposite sides form adhesive composition layer combines when forming bonding in the exposed surface in the layer 42 containing liquid crystal layer In the case where nitride layer 30a, more adhesive composition layer can be formed with high closing force in the exposed surface of the layer 42 containing liquid crystal layer 30a。
Speculate that its reason is as follows.Think: since the first liquid crystal layer 12 is on first base material layer 11 by polymerizable liquid crystal Close object polymerization (reaction) and the liquid crystal layer of formation, therefore, the exposed surface of the layer 42 containing liquid crystal layer and the first liquid crystal layer 12 with The first of the opposite side of first base material layer 11 (side in atmosphere is exposed in the polymerization of polymerizable liquid crystal compound) The surface characteristic of liquid crystal layer 12 is different.By inference: according to the difference of such surface characteristic, so that each surface is bonded composition The compatibility of the adhesive composition of composition layer 30a is different, with the side opposite with first base material layer 11 of the first liquid crystal layer 12 It compares, the exposed surface of the layer 42 containing liquid crystal layer can more inhibit shrinkage cavity and form adhesive composition layer 30a.Think as a result: Compared with the side opposite with first base material layer 11 of the first liquid crystal layer 12, the exposed surface of the layer 42 containing liquid crystal layer can more inhibit The adhesive composition layer 30a formed on the layer 42 containing liquid crystal layer generates unevenness, by the layer 42 containing liquid crystal layer and can glue Composition layer 30a is met to be laminated with high closing force.It is thus regarded that: it is able to suppress and generates fold in circularly polarizing plate 52 or containing Generate bubble between the layer 42 and adhesive layer 30 of liquid crystal layer, and can by the layer 42 containing liquid crystal layer and the second liquid crystal layer 22 with High closing force stacking.In addition, can be obtained good outer due to inhibiting to generate unevenness, fold, bubble in circularly polarizing plate 52 The circularly polarizing plate of sight, to be able to suppress visibility reduction when being applied to organic EL display device.
By inference: especially when the liquid for being coated on first base material layer 11 while including polymerizable liquid crystal compound and levelling agent Crystal layer formation composition and in the case where forming the first liquid crystal layer 12, the surface of 11 side of first base material layer of the first liquid crystal layer 12 The difference of the surface characteristic of the opposite to that side of characteristic tends to get bigger.It is thought that because are as follows: levelling agent has adjustment coating liquid crystal layer The function of the flatness of formation composition and the coating layer that is formed and the first liquid crystal layer obtained by coating layer includes in coating The liquid crystal layer formation composition of levelling agent and in the first liquid crystal layer 12 for being formed, levelling agent is easily collected on and first base material layer 11 opposite sides (side in atmosphere is exposed in the polymerization of polymerizable liquid crystal compound).Speculate: compared to first First base material is removed from the layer 41 containing the liquid crystal layer with substrate layer in the side opposite with first base material layer 11 of liquid crystal layer 12 Layer 11 and expose side be the layer 42 containing liquid crystal layer exposed surface levelling agent amount it is less, therefore to constitute bonding combination The compatibility of the adhesive composition of nitride layer 30a is higher.It is thus regarded that: in the case where the first liquid crystal layer includes levelling agent, contain The exposed surface of the layer 42 of liquid crystal layer is easy the adhesive composition layer 30a for inhibiting to be formed on the layer 42 containing liquid crystal layer and generates not , the layer 42 containing liquid crystal layer and adhesive composition layer 30a can be laminated with higher closing force, to obtain good appearance Circularly polarizing plate.
In the present invention, the first liquid crystal layer 10 with substrate layer for being used to manufacture circularly polarizing plate, with substrate layer Second liquid crystal layer 20, the polarization plates 61 with composition layer and strip is both preferably using membranoid substances such as sandwich obtained from them Membranoid substance, each process is preferably carried out while continuously transporting them.Width direction W is the length direction with membranoid substance Orthogonal direction.
The manufacturing method of circularly polarizing plate of the invention can variation as shown below change like that.In addition, can With by above embodiment and it is following shown in variation arbitrarily combine.
(variation 1 of embodiment 1)
The example above is illustrated using first with substrate layer for being formed with the first liquid crystal layer 12 on first base material layer 11 Liquid crystal layer 10 ((b) of Fig. 1) and the second liquid crystal layer with substrate layer that the second liquid crystal layer 22 is formed on the second substrate layer 21 The case where 20 ((c) of Fig. 1), but it's not limited to that.The first liquid crystal layer with substrate layer can be in first base material layer and There is first alignment layer between one liquid crystal layer, the second liquid crystal layer with substrate layer can the second substrate layer and the second liquid crystal layer it Between have second orientation layer.
In the case where the first liquid crystal layer with substrate layer has first alignment layer, the system of circularly polarizing plate of the invention is utilized Making circularly polarizing plate obtained from method can have first alignment layer, can also not have first alignment layer.Have in circularly polarizing plate In the case where having first alignment layer, as long as to make the when removing first base material layer from the layer containing the liquid crystal layer with substrate layer The mode that one oriented layer remains on the first liquid crystal layer adjusts the closing force of each interlayer, does not have first in circularly polarizing plate and takes In the case where layer, as long as first can be taken when removing first base material layer from the layer containing the liquid crystal layer with substrate layer The mode be peeled off together to layer together with first base material layer adjusts the closing force of each interlayer.There is first orientation in circularly polarizing plate In the case where layer, the layer containing liquid crystal layer has first with the polarization plates opposite side of adhesive layer 36 the first liquid crystal layer 12 Oriented layer, the liquid crystal layer with composition layer have first alignment layer between the first liquid crystal layer 12 and adhesive composition layer 30a.It gives With explanation, the inventors of the present invention are confirmed: even if by removing first base material layer from the layer containing the liquid crystal layer with substrate layer And in the case that the exposed surface of the layer containing liquid crystal layer formed is first alignment layer, the compatibility of adhesive composition is also compared The side opposite with first base material layer of first liquid crystal layer is high.It is thus regarded that even if the exposed surface in the layer containing liquid crystal layer is In the case where first alignment layer, also it can will contain liquid crystal layer and forming adhesive composition layer in the first alignment layer Layer is laminated with adhesive composition layer with high closing force.
In the case where the second liquid crystal layer 20 with substrate layer has second orientation layer, circularly polarizing plate can have second and take To layer, can also not have second orientation layer.In the case where the second liquid crystal layer with substrate layer has second orientation layer, as long as In a manner of making second orientation layer remain on the second liquid crystal layer when removing the second substrate layer from the circularly polarizing plate with substrate layer Or the mode that second orientation layer is peeled off together together with the second substrate layer can be adjusted to the closing force of each interlayer.It is inclined in circle In the case that vibration plate includes second orientation layer, second orientation layer is set to the side opposite with adhesive layer of the second liquid crystal layer, and And adhesive composition layer used for optical elements is formed on the second orientation layer.
The closing force of each interlayer can use ingredient contained in each layer, the surface treatment that carries out to the surface of each layer is adjusted It is whole.For example, oriented layer (first alignment layer or second orientation layer) and substrate layer (first base material layer or the second substrate layer) and liquid crystal The closing force of layer (the first liquid crystal layer or the second liquid crystal layer) can use polymerization initiator contained in oriented layer or liquid crystal layer, anti- The type or amount of the additives such as answering property additive, levelling agent, polymerization inhibitor to the surface of the oriented layer side of substrate layer or are arranged in base The surface treatments such as sided corona treatment, corona treatment, the flame treatment that the surface of the oriented layer on material layer carries out adjust.
(variation 2 of embodiment 1)
The example above illustrates using polarization plates 60 and the case where the polarization plates with composition layer 61, still, of the invention It's not limited to that for the manufacturing method of circularly polarizing plate.It can replace polarization plates 60 and the polarization plates 61 with composition layer and use and turn It prints substrate layer and is equipped with the transfer substrate bonding group for being used to form transfer substrate adhesive layer in a face of transfer substrate layer Close the transfer substrate layer with composition layer of nitride layer.Transfer substrate can be with above-mentioned polarization plates adhesive layer with adhesive composition layer 36 are identically formed.
It, can be by first of the first liquid crystal layer with substrate layer in the case where using the transfer substrate layer with composition layer Liquid crystal layer is bonded with the transfer substrate of the transfer substrate layer with composition layer with adhesive composition layer, by transfer substrate bonding group Nitride layer is closed to form transfer substrate adhesive layer and obtain the layer containing the liquid crystal layer with substrate layer.By transfer substrate bonding combination The method that nitride layer forms transfer substrate adhesive layer can form polarization plates with Nian Jie with by polarization plates adhesive composition layer 36a The method of layer 36 is carried out similarly.The resulting layer containing the liquid crystal layer with substrate layer successively includes transfer substrate layer, transfer base Material layer adhesive layer, the first liquid crystal layer and first base material layer.
Next, from containing the liquid crystal layer with substrate layer layer in remove first base material layer and the first of the first liquid crystal layer Substrate layer side forms exposed surface, thus obtains successively comprising transfer substrate layer, transfer substrate layer adhesive layer and the first liquid crystal layer The layer containing liquid crystal layer.It is utilized in the first liquid crystal layer side of the resulting layer containing liquid crystal layer same as the above embodiment After adhesive composition layer is arranged in step, the second liquid crystal layer of the adhesive composition layer and the second liquid crystal layer with substrate layer is pasted It closes.Next, the second substrate layer is removed, in the exposed surface fitting band combination for being formed in the second substrate layer side of the second liquid crystal layer The composition layer of the polarization plates of nitride layer, so as to obtain circularly polarizing plate.In the circularly polarizing plate of this variation, transfer substrate is used Adhesive composition layer can be used as the adhesive composition layer used for optical elements in above embodiment to use, and transfer substrate layer can Using as spacer come using.
So, in the case where the layer containing the liquid crystal layer with substrate layer has transfer substrate layer, in the first liquid crystal The substrate layer side of layer is formed in the process of exposed surface, by removing first base material layer without removing transfer substrate layer, so as to Obtain the layer containing liquid crystal layer.
In this variation, it constitutes the first liquid crystal layer and the phase separation layer of the second liquid crystal layer meets following [a '] or [b] Relationship:
[a '] first liquid crystal layer is quarter wave plate, and the second liquid crystal layer is quarter wave plate,
One of [b] above-mentioned first liquid crystal layer and above-mentioned second liquid crystal layer are the quarter wave plate of inverse wave length dispersibility, another Person is positive c plate.
In above-mentioned [b], it is preferred that above-mentioned first liquid crystal layer is positive c plate, above-mentioned second liquid crystal layer is inverse wave length dispersion The quarter wave plate of property.
[embodiment 2]

Next, to make the first liquid crystal layer 12 and the second liquid crystal layer 22 across the opposite mode laminated belt substrate of adhesive layer 34 The first liquid crystal layer 10 and the second liquid crystal layer 20 with substrate layer of layer and obtain the layer 46 containing the liquid crystal layer with substrate layer and (contain The layer of liquid crystal layer with first base material layer) ((a) of Fig. 4).As shown in (a) of Fig. 4, the layer 46 containing the liquid crystal layer with substrate layer It successively include first base material layer 11, the first liquid crystal layer 12, adhesive layer 34, the second liquid crystal layer 22 and the second substrate layer 21.
Next, being obtained referring to Fig. 4 and Fig. 5 to the layer 46 containing the liquid crystal layer with substrate layer by preparing as described above Method to circularly polarizing plate 57 is illustrated.Firstly, by removing the first base from the layer 46 containing the liquid crystal layer with substrate layer Material layer 11, to obtain successively containing comprising the first liquid crystal layer 12, adhesive layer 34, the second liquid crystal layer 22 and the second substrate layer 21 The layer 47 ((b) of Fig. 4) of liquid crystal layer.
Later, carry out obtaining the layer 48 containing the liquid crystal layer with composition layer (containing the liquid crystal layer with first chamber layer Layer) process ((c) of Fig. 4), the layer 48 containing the liquid crystal layer with composition layer sets on the layer 47 containing liquid crystal layer Have and is used to form polarization plates with the polarization plates of adhesive layer 31 adhesive composition layer 31a (polarization function layer adhesive composition Layer).In the process for obtaining the layer 48 containing the liquid crystal layer with composition layer, as shown in (c) of Fig. 4, from containing liquid crystal layer Layer 47 the layer 46 containing the liquid crystal layer with substrate layer in remove first base material layer 11 and expose the of the first liquid crystal layer 12 In the exposed surface of one substrate layer, 11 side, polarization plates adhesive composition layer 31a is formed.In the inclined of circularly polarizing plate 57 ((b) of Fig. 5) In the case that vibration plate adhesive layer 31 is bonding agent cured layer, polarization plates bonding combination is formed on the layer 47 containing liquid crystal layer The process that the process of nitride layer 31a can have the coating adhesive on the layer 47 containing liquid crystal layer, it is possible to have as needed By the process that the bonding agent after coating is dry.In addition, the polarization plates adhesive layer 31 in circularly polarizing plate 57 ((b) of Fig. 5) is viscous In the case where mixture layer, form polarization plates on the layer 47 containing liquid crystal layer can have with the process of adhesive composition layer 31a The process of coating adhesive, the process for as needed drying the adhesive after coating on the layer 47 containing liquid crystal layer, alternatively, Also it can have and form adhesive phase in the demoulding process face of mold release film and the adhesive phase of mold release film is needed on containing liquid The process of the layer 47 of crystal layer.As shown in (c) of Fig. 4, the layer 48 containing the liquid crystal layer with composition layer is successively used comprising polarization plates Adhesive composition layer 31a, the first liquid crystal layer 12, adhesive layer 34, the second liquid crystal layer 22 and the second substrate layer 21.
Next, carry out will containing the liquid crystal layer with composition layer layer 48 polarization plates with adhesive composition layer 31a with The process ((d) of Fig. 4) that polarization plates 60 are bonded, forms polarization plates adhesive layer 31 by polarization plates adhesive composition layer 31a, obtains To the circularly polarizing plate 56 (circularly polarizing plate) ((a) of Fig. 5) with substrate layer.It is formed as by polarization plates with adhesive composition layer 31a The method of polarization plates adhesive layer 31, as long as select i.e. according to polarization plates ingredient contained in adhesive composition layer 31a Can, for example, can carry out making the cured processing of polarization plates adhesive composition layer 31a, in the feelings of the ingredient without curing process Under condition, polarization plates adhesive layer 31 can be made with adhesive composition layer 31a in polarization plates without particularly handling.Such as figure Shown in 5 (a), the circularly polarizing plate 56 with substrate layer successively includes polarization plates 60, polarization plates adhesive layer 31, the first liquid crystal layer 12, therefore adhesive layer 34, the second liquid crystal layer 22 and the second substrate layer 21 can be circularly polarizing plate obtained in the present invention, and It is the circularly polarizing plate with substrate layer with the second substrate layer 21.
The manufacturing method of circularly polarizing plate 57 may further include: remove the second base from the circularly polarizing plate 56 with substrate layer Second substrate layer of the process ((b) of Fig. 5) of material layer 21 and the second liquid crystal layer 22 exposed in the second substrate layer 21 of removing The exposing surface side of 21 sides forms adhesive composition layer 35 used for optical elements and obtains the (circle of circularly polarizing plate 58 with adhesive composition layer Polarization plates) process ((c) of Fig. 5).As shown in (c) of Fig. 5, the circularly polarizing plate 58 with adhesive composition layer is successively comprising polarization Plate 60, polarization plates adhesive layer 31, the first liquid crystal layer 12, adhesive layer 34, the second liquid crystal layer 22 and bonding used for optical elements combination Therefore nitride layer 35 for circularly polarizing plate obtained in the present invention and can be also the band with adhesive composition layer used for optical elements The circularly polarizing plate of adhesive composition layer.
In the manufacturing method of circularly polarizing plate 57, as shown in (a)~(c) of Fig. 4, in containing from the layer 47 containing liquid crystal layer There is the first base material layer 11 for the first liquid crystal layer 12 removing first base material layer 11 in the layer 46 of the liquid crystal layer with substrate layer and exposing In the exposed surface (hereinafter sometimes referred to as " exposed surface of the layer 47 containing liquid crystal layer ") of side, polarization plates adhesive composition layer is formed 31a.Compared to the side opposite with first base material layer 11 of the first liquid crystal layer 12, polarization plates are more aobvious with adhesive composition layer 31a It shows and the compatibility of the exposed surface of the layer 47 containing liquid crystal layer of the layer 47 containing liquid crystal layer.Therefore, compared in the first liquid The side opposite with first base material layer 11 of crystal layer 12 forms the case where polarization plates are with adhesive composition layer 31a, when containing liquid It, more can be in the layer containing liquid crystal layer in the case where polarization plates are formed in the exposed surface of the layer 47 of crystal layer with adhesive composition layer 31a Polarization plates adhesive composition layer 31a is formed with high closing force on 47.
It is also already explained such in embodiment as in the previous, it is believed that its reason is: on first base material layer 11 Polymerizable liquid crystal compound polymerization (reaction) is formd into the first liquid crystal layer 12, therefore, the exposing of the layer 47 containing liquid crystal layer The surface of the opposite to that side of the surface characteristic in face (side in atmosphere is exposed in the polymerization of polymerizable liquid crystal compound) Characteristic is different, compared with the side opposite with first base material layer 11 of the first liquid crystal layer 12, the exposing of the layer 47 containing liquid crystal layer Face can more inhibit shrinkage cavity and form polarization plates adhesive composition layer 31a.Thus speculate: with first liquid crystal layer 12 and the first base The opposite side of material layer 11 is compared, and the exposed surface of the layer 47 containing liquid crystal layer can more inhibit to be formed on the layer 47 containing liquid crystal layer Polarization plates with adhesive composition layer 31a generate it is uneven and by the layer 47 containing liquid crystal layer and polarization plates adhesive composition layer 31a is laminated with high closing force, also, can more inhibit in circularly polarizing plate 57 generate fold or the layer 47 containing liquid crystal layer with Polarization plates generate bubble between adhesive layer 31, thus by the layer 47 containing liquid crystal layer and the second liquid crystal layer 22 with high closing force layer It is folded.In addition, the circular polarization of good appearance can be obtained due to inhibiting to generate unevenness, fold, bubble in circularly polarizing plate 52 Plate, to be able to suppress visibility reduction when being applied to organic EL display device.
By inference: as also already explained in embodiment before, being coated with when on first base material layer 11 The case where including the liquid crystal layer formation composition of polymerizable liquid crystal compound and levelling agent simultaneously and form the first liquid crystal layer 12 Under, it is easy to make the surface characteristic of 11 side of first base material layer of the first liquid crystal layer 12 and its according to the difference of the amount of levelling agent The difference of the surface characteristic of opposite side becomes larger.It is thus regarded that with the side opposite with first base material layer 11 of the first liquid crystal layer 12 It compares, liquid crystal layer is contained in the side removing first base material layer 11 from the layer 46 containing the liquid crystal layer with substrate layer and exposing The amount of the levelling agent of the exposed surface of layer 47 is less, therefore is easy to inhibit the polarization plates that are formed on the layer 47 containing liquid crystal layer with viscous It meets composition layer 31a and generates unevenness, it can be by the layer 47 containing liquid crystal layer and polarization plates adhesive composition layer 31a with higher Closing force stacking, to obtain the circularly polarizing plate of good appearance.
