Description

Polarizer, polarizing film, laminated polarizing film, image display panel, and image display device
Technical Field
The invention relates to a polarizer, a polarizing film, a laminated polarizing film, an image display panel, and an image display device.
Background
Conventionally, a dyed (dichroic substance-containing) polyvinyl alcohol film has been used as a polarizer used in various image display devices such as liquid crystal display devices and organic EL display devices, because of having both high transmittance and high polarization degree. The polarizer is produced by subjecting a polyvinyl alcohol film to various treatments such as swelling, dyeing, crosslinking, and stretching in a bath, washing the film, and then drying the film. The polarizer is generally used in the form of a polarizing film (polarizing plate) in which a protective film such as triacetylcellulose is bonded to one or both surfaces thereof with an adhesive.
The polarizing film is used by laminating a polarizing film (optical laminate) in which another optical layer is laminated as necessary, and the polarizing film or the laminated polarizing film (optical laminate) is bonded between an image display unit such as a liquid crystal cell or an organic EL element and a transparent plate such as a front panel or a touch panel on the visual recognition side via an adhesive layer, and is used as the various image display devices described above.
In recent years, such various image display devices have been widely used as in-vehicle image display devices such as car navigation devices and rear view monitors (Back monitors) in addition to mobile devices such as mobile phones and tablet terminals. In response to this, the polarizing film and the laminated polarizing film are required to have higher durability in a severer environment (for example, in a high-temperature environment) than that required in the past, and a polarizing film for the purpose of ensuring such durability has been proposed (patent document 1).

Disclosure of Invention
Problems to be solved by the invention
The conventional polarizing film and laminated polarizing film described above have the following problems: when exposed to a high temperature environment, polyvinyl alcohol undergoes polyalkylenation, whereby the polarizer is colored, and the optical characteristics thereof are degraded. In particular, an image display device formed by laminating the above-described polarizing film or laminated polarizing film between an image display unit and a transparent plate via an adhesive layer has a problem that coloring of a polarizer is remarkable and deterioration of optical characteristics thereof is remarkable.
In view of the above circumstances, an object of the present invention is to provide a polarizer having an excellent effect of suppressing a decrease in optical characteristics in a high-temperature environment.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a polarizing film, a laminated polarizing film, an image display panel, and an image display device, each using a polarizer having an excellent effect of suppressing the reduction in optical characteristics.
Means for solving the problems
That is, the present invention relates to a polarizer formed of a polyvinyl alcohol-based thin film, the polarizer including boron and potassium, wherein a content of boron in the polarizer is 4 wt% or more and 6 wt% or less, and a value obtained by multiplying a content (wt%) of boron by a content (wt%) of potassium is 1.2 or more.
The present invention also relates to a polarizing film in which a transparent protective film is bonded to at least one surface of the polarizer.
The present invention also relates to a laminated polarizing film in which the polarizing film is bonded to an optical layer.
The present invention also relates to an image display panel in which the polarizing film or the laminated polarizing film is bonded to an image display unit.
The present invention also relates to an image display device including a transparent plate on the polarizing film or laminated polarizing film side of the image display panel.
ADVANTAGEOUS EFFECTS OF INVENTION
The details of the action mechanism of the effects of the polarizer of the present invention, the polarizing film having the polarizer, the laminated polarizing film, the image display panel, and the image display device are not clear, and are presumed as follows. However, the present invention is not to be construed as limited by this mechanism of action.
The polarizing element of the present invention is formed of a polyvinyl alcohol-based film and contains boron and potassium. In the polarizing plate, the content of boron is 4 wt% or more and 6 wt% or less, and a value obtained by multiplying the content of boron (wt%) by the content of potassium (wt%) is 1.2 or more. It is known that the former polarizer contains boron and potassium, but the polarizer of the present invention can further improve heat resistance compared to the former polarizer by containing boron and potassium in the above-mentioned specific amounts. In particular, it is not known that a polarizer having a value obtained by multiplying the content (wt%) of boron by the content (wt%) of potassium of 1.2 or more, as in the polarizer of the present invention, exhibits excellent heat resistance as compared with a polarizer having a value smaller than the above.
Conventionally, an image display device configured by laminating a polarizing film or a laminated polarizing film between an image display unit and a transparent plate via an adhesive layer has the following problems: when the polarizing material is exposed to a high-temperature environment, moisture or the like contained in the polarizing material, the adhesive layer, or the like is trapped in the image display device, and thus deterioration (polyalkylenation) of polyvinyl alcohol in the polarizing material is promoted, and thus the optical characteristics thereof are remarkably reduced.
In addition, in the image display device exposed to a high-temperature environment as described above, there is a problem that the polarizer is deteriorated due to polyene formation, and the polarizer is cracked. In general, the end portions of the polarizing film are covered with the frame, and therefore, poor appearance of the end portions is acceptable, but in recent image display devices, the frame is being thinned from the viewpoint of design, and is even manufactured as a frameless type. Therefore, even a slight defect at the edge of the polarizing film impairs the appearance, and it is very important to prevent the crack in order to produce the image display device. On the other hand, the polarizer of the present invention can exhibit the effect of preventing the occurrence of the above-described cracks by adjusting the upper limit of the content of the specific amount of boron in the polarizer to 5.2 wt% or less.
Further, in the image display device described above, a laminate having a low moisture permeability (for example, a moisture permeability of 200 g/(m))224h) or less), moisture in the polarizing material is less likely to penetrate through the transparent protective film, and therefore the moisture is confined in the polarizing material, and it is estimated that the polyene formation as described above is further promoted. Therefore, the polarizer of the present invention is particularly useful for a mode in which a transparent protective film having low moisture permeability is bonded to at least one surface of the polarizer.

< method for producing polarizing plate >
The polarizer is obtained by optionally performing at least 1 treatment step of a dyeing step, a crosslinking step, and a stretching step, and a swelling step, a washing step, and a drying step on the polyvinyl alcohol film. The content of boron and the content of potassium contained in the polarizer can be controlled by the concentration of a boron component supplying substance such as boric acid, a boron compound such as borate or borax, the concentration of a potassium component supplying substance such as potassium halide such as potassium iodide, the treatment temperature and the treatment time of each treatment bath contained in any one of the treatment baths in the swelling step, the dyeing step, the crosslinking step, the stretching step and the cleaning step. In particular, in the crosslinking step and the stretching step, the content of boron can be easily adjusted to a desired range by treatment conditions such as the concentration of the boron component-supplying substance. In the washing step, the content of boron and the content of potassium can be easily adjusted to desired ranges from the viewpoint that components such as boron and potassium can be eluted from or adsorbed to the polyvinyl alcohol film in consideration of the processing conditions such as the amount of the boron component-supplying substance and the potassium component-supplying substance used in the dyeing step, the crosslinking step, the stretching step, and the like.
The swelling step is a treatment step of immersing the polyvinyl alcohol film in a swelling bath, and can remove stains, blocking agents, and the like on the surface of the polyvinyl alcohol film, and can suppress uneven dyeing by swelling the polyvinyl alcohol film. The swelling bath generally uses a medium containing water as a main component, such as water, distilled water, or pure water. The swelling bath may be appropriately added with a surfactant, alcohol, or the like by a conventional method. In this case, the concentration of potassium iodide in the swelling bath is preferably 1.5% by weight or less, more preferably 1.0% by weight or less, and still more preferably 0.5% by weight or less.
The temperature of the swelling bath is preferably about 10 to 60 ℃, more preferably about 15 to 45 ℃, and further preferably about 18 to 30 ℃. The immersion time in the swelling bath is not always determined because the degree of swelling of the polyvinyl alcohol film is affected by the temperature of the swelling bath, and is preferably about 5 to 300 seconds, more preferably about 10 to 200 seconds, and still more preferably about 20 to 100 seconds. The swelling step may be performed only 1 time, or may be performed a plurality of times as needed.
The dyeing step is a treatment step of immersing the polyvinyl alcohol film in a dyeing bath (iodine solution), and the dichroic material such as iodine or a dichroic dye can be adsorbed and oriented in the polyvinyl alcohol film. The iodine solution is preferably an aqueous iodine solution, and contains iodine and an iodide as a dissolution aid. The iodide includes potassium iodide, lithium iodide, sodium iodide, zinc iodide, aluminum iodide, lead iodide, copper iodide, barium iodide, calcium iodide, tin iodide, titanium iodide, and the like. Among these, potassium iodide is suitable from the viewpoint of controlling the content of the potassium in the polarizing material.
The concentration of iodine in the dyeing bath is preferably about 0.01 to 1 wt%, more preferably about 0.02 to 0.5 wt%. The concentration of the iodide in the dyeing bath is preferably about 0.01 to 10 wt%, more preferably about 0.05 to 5 wt%, and still more preferably about 0.1 to 3 wt%.
The temperature of the dyeing bath is preferably about 10 to 50 ℃, more preferably about 15 to 45 ℃, and further preferably about 18 to 30 ℃. The immersion time in the dyeing bath is not generally determined because the degree of dyeing of the polyvinyl alcohol film is affected by the temperature of the dyeing bath, and is preferably about 10 to 300 seconds, and more preferably about 20 to 240 seconds. The dyeing step may be performed only 1 time, or may be performed a plurality of times as needed.
The crosslinking step is a treatment step of immersing the polyvinyl alcohol film dyed in the dyeing step in a treatment bath (crosslinking bath) containing a boron compound, and the polyvinyl alcohol film is crosslinked by the boron compound, so that iodine molecules or dye molecules can be adsorbed to the crosslinked structure. Examples of the boron compound include boric acid, borate, and borax. The crosslinking bath is usually an aqueous solution, but may be a mixed solution of an organic solvent miscible with water and water, for example. In addition, from the viewpoint of controlling the content of the potassium in the polarizer, the crosslinking bath preferably contains potassium iodide.
The concentration of the boron compound in the crosslinking bath is preferably about 1 to 15 wt%, more preferably about 1.5 to 10 wt%, and still more preferably about 2 to 5 wt%. When potassium iodide is used in the crosslinking bath, the concentration of potassium iodide in the crosslinking bath is preferably about 1 to 15 wt%, more preferably about 1.5 to 10 wt%, and still more preferably about 2 to 5 wt%.
The temperature of the crosslinking bath is preferably about 20 to 70 ℃, more preferably about 30 to 60 ℃. The immersion time in the crosslinking bath is not generally determined because the degree of crosslinking of the polyvinyl alcohol film is affected by the temperature of the crosslinking bath, and is preferably about 5 to 300 seconds, and more preferably about 10 to 200 seconds. The crosslinking step may be performed only 1 time, or may be performed a plurality of times as needed.
The stretching step is a treatment step of stretching the polyvinyl alcohol film to a predetermined magnification in at least one direction. The polyvinyl alcohol film is usually stretched 1-axis in the transport direction (longitudinal direction). The method of stretching is not particularly limited, and any of wet stretching and dry stretching may be employed. The stretching step may be performed only 1 time, or may be performed a plurality of times as needed. The stretching step may be performed at any stage in the production of the polarizer.

< polarizing film >
In the polarizing film of the present invention, a transparent protective film is bonded to at least one surface of the polarizer.
The transparent protective film is not particularly limited, and various transparent protective films conventionally used for polarizing films can be used. As a material constituting the transparent protective film, for example, a thermoplastic resin excellent in transparency, mechanical strength, thermal stability, moisture blocking property, isotropy, and the like is used. Examples of the thermoplastic resin include cellulose ester resins such as triacetylcellulose, polyester resins such as polyethylene terephthalate and polyethylene naphthalate, polyether sulfone resins, polysulfone resins, polycarbonate resins, polyamide resins such as nylon and aromatic polyamide, polyimide resins, polyolefin resins such as polyethylene, polypropylene and ethylene-propylene copolymers, (meth) acrylic resins, cyclic polyolefin resins having a ring system and/or a norbornene structure (norbornene resins), polyarylate resins, polystyrene resins, polyvinyl alcohol resins, and mixtures thereof. The transparent protective film may be a cured layer made of a thermosetting resin or an ultraviolet-curable resin such as a (meth) acrylic resin, a urethane resin, an acrylic urethane resin, an epoxy resin, or a silicone resin. Among these, cellulose ester resins, polycarbonate resins, (meth) acrylic resins, cyclic polyolefin resins, and polyester resins are suitable.

The transparent protective film preferably has a moisture permeability of 800 g/(m) from the viewpoint of suppressing a decrease in polarizing performance in a high-temperature and high-humidity environment224h) or less, more preferably 400 g/(m)224h) or less, more preferably 200 g/(m)224h) or less, more preferably 150 g/(m)224h) or less. The transparent protective film on one surface of the polarizer preferably has a moisture permeability of 200 g/(m)224h) or less, more preferably 150 g/(m)224h) or less. The moisture permeability can be calculated as follows: the weight gain of calcium chloride before and after being left for 24 hours was measured by placing a sample cut into a diameter of 60mm in a moisture permeable cup containing about 15g of calcium chloride and in a thermostat at a temperature of 40 ℃ and a humidity of 90% R.H. according to the moisture permeability test (cup method) of JIS Z0208.
When the transparent protective films are bonded to both surfaces of the polarizer, the transparent protective films may be the same or different.
The transparent protective film may be a retardation plate having a retardation of 40nm or more in the front direction and/or 80nm or more in the thickness direction. The front phase difference is usually controlled to be in the range of 40 to 200nm, and the thickness direction phase difference is usually controlled to be in the range of 80 to 300 nm. When a retardation plate is used as the transparent protective film, the retardation plate also functions as a transparent protective film, and therefore, the thickness can be reduced.
Examples of the retardation plate include a birefringent film obtained by uniaxially or biaxially stretching a polymer material, an oriented film of a liquid crystal polymer, and a film in which an oriented layer of a liquid crystal polymer is supported by a film. The thickness of the retardation plate is not particularly limited, and is usually about 20 to 150 μm. The phase plate may be used by bonding the phase plate to a transparent protective film having no retardation.
The transparent protective film may be subjected to a surface modification treatment. Examples of the surface modification treatment include corona treatment, plasma treatment, primer treatment, and saponification treatment.
The surface of the transparent protective film to which the polarizer is not attached may be subjected to hard coat treatment, antireflection treatment, treatment for the purpose of adhesion prevention, diffusion, and/or antiglare. The hard coat treatment, the antireflection layer, the release layer, the diffusion layer, and/or the treatment for the purpose of antiglare may be provided on the transparent protective film itself, or may be provided separately as an optical layer on an object different from the transparent protective film.
The transparent protective film may contain any suitable additive such as an ultraviolet absorber, an antioxidant, a lubricant, a plasticizer, a mold release agent, a coloring inhibitor, a flame retardant, an antistatic agent, a pigment, and a colorant.
In order to bond the polarizer and the transparent protective film, an adhesive is generally used. Examples of the adhesive include an isocyanate adhesive, a polyvinyl alcohol adhesive, a gelatin adhesive, a vinyl latex adhesive, and an aqueous polyester. The adhesive is usually used in the form of an aqueous adhesive, and usually contains 0.5 to 60% by weight of a solid content. Examples of the adhesive include an ultraviolet-curable adhesive, an electron beam-curable adhesive, and the like, in addition to the above. The adhesive may contain a metal compound filler.
The adhesive may be applied to either the transparent protective film or the polarizer, or to both. After the bonding, a drying step is performed to form an adhesive layer including a coating dry layer. The polarizing material and the transparent protective film may be bonded to each other by a roll laminator or the like. After the drying step, ultraviolet rays and electron beams may be irradiated as necessary. The thickness of the adhesive layer is not particularly limited, but is preferably about 30 to 5000nm, and more preferably about 100 to 1000 nm.
< laminated polarizing film >
The laminated polarizing film (optical laminate) of the present invention is obtained by laminating the polarizing film on an optical layer. The optical layer is not particularly limited, and for example, an optical layer used in the formation of a liquid crystal display device such as a 1-layer or 2-layer or more reflective plate, semi-transmissive plate, retardation plate (including wavelength plates such as 1/2 and 1/4), viewing angle compensation film, or the like can be used. The laminated polarizing film includes, in particular: a reflection-type polarizing film or a semi-transmission-type polarizing film in which a reflection plate or a semi-transmission plate is laminated on the polarizing film, an elliptical polarizing film or a circular polarizing film in which a retardation plate is laminated on the polarizing film, a wide-viewing-angle polarizing film in which a viewing-angle compensation film is laminated on the polarizing film, or a polarizing film in which a brightness enhancement film is laminated on the polarizing film.
An adhesive layer for bonding an image display unit such as a liquid crystal unit or an organic EL element to another member such as a front transparent plate on the viewing side or a transparent plate such as a touch panel may be provided on one surface or both surfaces of the polarizing film or the laminated polarizing film. As the adhesive layer, an adhesive layer is suitable. The adhesive agent for forming the adhesive layer is not particularly limited, and for example, an adhesive agent containing a polymer such as an acrylic polymer, a silicone polymer, a polyester, a polyurethane, a polyamide, a polyether, a fluorine-based polymer, or a rubber-based polymer as a base polymer can be suitably selected and used. In particular, a pressure-sensitive adhesive excellent in optical transparency, exhibiting appropriate wettability, aggregability, adhesiveness, weather resistance, heat resistance and the like, such as a pressure-sensitive adhesive containing an acrylic polymer, is preferably used.
The pressure-sensitive adhesive layer preferably contains a low content of an organic acid monomer such as acrylic acid. By reducing the organic acid monomer content in the adhesive layer, a decrease in transmittance due to polyene formation of polyvinyl alcohol can be suppressed even in the case where the image display device is exposed to a high-temperature environment.
The adhesive layer may be attached to one or both surfaces of the polarizing film or the laminated polarizing film in an appropriate manner. Examples of the method of attaching the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer include the following methods: a method of preparing a binder solution and directly applying the binder solution to the polarizing film or the laminated polarizing film by an appropriate development method such as a casting method or a coating method; or a method of forming an adhesive layer on a separator and transferring the adhesive layer to the polarizing film or the laminated polarizing film. The thickness of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer may be suitably determined depending on the purpose of use, adhesion, and the like, and is usually 1 to 500. mu.m, preferably 5 to 200. mu.m, and more preferably 10 to 100. mu.m.
The exposed surface of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is preferably protected by temporarily bonding a separator for the purpose of preventing contamination or the like until the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is actually used. This can prevent contamination of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer and the like in a normal handling state. Examples of the separator include separators obtained by coating an appropriate thin layer body such as a plastic film, a rubber sheet, paper, cloth, nonwoven fabric, net, foamed sheet, metal foil, or a laminate thereof with an appropriate release agent such as silicone-based, long-chain alkyl-based, fluorine-based, or molybdenum sulfide, if necessary.
< image display Panel and image display device >
In the image display panel of the present invention, the polarizing film or the laminated polarizing film is bonded to an image display unit. The image display device of the present invention includes a transparent plate on the polarizing film or laminated polarizing film side (viewing side) of the image display panel.
Examples of the image display unit include a liquid crystal unit and an organic EL unit. As the liquid crystal cell, for example, any of a reflective liquid crystal cell using external light, a transmissive liquid crystal cell using light from a light source such as a backlight, and a semi-transmissive semi-reflective liquid crystal cell using both light from the outside and light from the light source can be used. In the case where the liquid crystal cell uses light from a light source, the image display device (liquid crystal display device) further includes a polarizing film and a light source on the opposite side of the image display cell (liquid crystal cell) from the viewing side. The polarizing film on the light source side and the liquid crystal cell are preferably bonded via an appropriate adhesive layer. As a driving method of the liquid crystal cell, for example, any type of mode such as VA mode, IPS mode, TN mode, STN mode, bend alignment (pi-type) and the like can be used.
As the organic EL unit, for example, an organic EL unit in which a transparent electrode, an organic light-emitting layer, and a metal electrode are sequentially stacked on a transparent substrate to form a light-emitting body (organic electroluminescent light-emitting body) can be suitably used. The organic light-emitting layer is a laminate of various organic thin films, and for example, a laminate of a hole-injecting layer containing triphenylamine derivative or the like and a light-emitting layer containing a fluorescent organic solid such as anthracene, a laminate of these light-emitting layers and an electron-injecting layer containing perylene derivative or the like, or a laminate of a hole-injecting layer, a light-emitting layer, and an electron-injecting layer, can be used.
Examples of the transparent plate disposed on the viewing side of the image display unit include a front transparent plate (window layer), a touch panel, and the like. As the front transparent plate, a transparent plate having appropriate mechanical strength and thickness can be used. As such a transparent plate, for example, a transparent resin plate such as an acrylic resin or a polycarbonate resin, a glass plate, or the like can be used. As the touch panel, for example, various touch panels of a resistive film type, a capacitive type, an optical type, an ultrasonic type, and the like, a glass plate having a touch sensor function, a transparent resin plate, and the like can be used. In the case of using a capacitive touch panel as the transparent plate, a front transparent plate formed of glass or a transparent resin plate is preferably provided on the side of the touch panel where the touch panel is visually recognized.
