Description

Polyester film and polarizing plate comprising same
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a polyester film and a polarizing plate comprising the same.
Background
In image display devices (for example, liquid crystal display devices and organic EL display devices), a polarizing plate is often disposed on at least one side of a display cell due to the image forming system. In recent years, the functions and applications of image display devices tend to be further diversified, and it is required that the image display devices can be used under more severe environments. A polarizing plate generally has a structure in which a polarizer is sandwiched between 2 protective films, and cellulose triacetate, acrylic resin, cycloolefin resin, and the like are widely used as the protective film. On the other hand, from the viewpoint of the durability as described above, it has been proposed to use a polyester film excellent in mechanical properties, chemical resistance, and moisture barrier properties, such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and polyethylene naphthalate (PEN), as a polarizer protective film (for example, patent document 1). However, although polyester films have excellent mechanical properties, they have birefringence, which may cause deterioration in visual recognizability such as occurrence of rainbow unevenness. In particular, with the recent increase in brightness and color purity of image display devices, the problem of such iridescence is remarkable.
On the other hand, in a polarizing plate using a protective film formed of cellulose triacetate, acrylic resin, or cycloolefin resin, which has been conventionally used, cracks may occur in the polarizer due to a temperature change. In recent years, as image display devices have been made thinner, there has been a demand for thinner polarizers, and since it is assumed that image display devices used at high temperatures are increasing, there has been a strong demand for polarizers having excellent durability without causing cracks in polarizers.

Detailed Description
Preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below, but the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.
A. Polyester film
The polyester film of the present invention has a linear expansion coefficient of 3.5X 10 in the 1 st direction-5A linear expansion coefficient of 3.5X 10 in a 2 nd direction perpendicular to the 1 st direction and at most/° C-5Below/° c. When a polyester film having such a linear expansion coefficient is used, the polyester film can be laminated on a polarizer to effectively protect the polarizer and prevent the polarizer from cracking. More specifically, when the polyester film of the present invention is laminated on a polarizer as a polarizer protective film to form a polarizing plate, dimensional changes (for example, dimensional changes due to heat) of the polarizer can be further suppressed by the polyester film. As a result, when the polyester film of the present invention is used, the occurrence of cracks in the polarizer can be prevented even under severe environments such as high temperature and large temperature change, and a polarizing plate having excellent durability can be obtained. In 1 embodiment, the 1 st direction corresponds to the conveyance direction (MD) in the production of a polyester film. The 2 nd direction may correspond to TD orthogonal to MD. The linear expansion coefficient can be determined by TMA measurement according to JIS K7197. The expression "substantially parallel" includes the case where the angle formed by the 2 directions is 0 ° ± 10 °, preferably 0 ° ± 7 °, and more preferably 0 ° ± 5 °.
The polyester film of the present invention has a slow axis in the direction of-5 to 5 DEG with respect to the 1 st direction. When the amount is within this range, a polyester film with less occurrence of rainbow unevenness when combined with a polarizer can be obtained. More specifically, as described above, when the polarizing plate is configured by laminating a polarizer and a polyester film so that the absorption axis of the polarizer is substantially parallel to the 1 st direction, iridescence can be effectively prevented.
The angle formed by the 1 st direction and the slow axis is preferably-3 ° to 3 °, more preferably-1 ° to 1 °, particularly preferably-0.5 ° to 0.5 °, and most preferably 0 °. Within such a range, the above effect is more remarkable.
The polyester film preferably has a linear expansion coefficient of 3.0X 10 in the 1 st direction-5Lower than/° C, more preferably 2.5X 10-5Less than/° C, more preferably 1.5X 10-5Lower than/° C, particularly preferably 1.3X 10-5Below/° c. Within such a range, the above effect is more remarkable. The lower the linear expansion coefficient of the polyester film in the 1 st direction is, the lower limit thereof is, for example, 0.3X 10-5/° C (preferably 0.1X 10)-5/° C, more preferably 0X 10-5/℃)。
The polyester film preferably has a linear expansion coefficient of 3.4X 10 in the 2 nd direction-5Lower than/° C, more preferably 2.3X 10-5Below/° c. Within such a range, the above effect is more remarkable. The lower the linear expansion coefficient of the polyester film in the 1 st direction is, the lower limit thereof is, for example, 1X 10-5/° C (preferably 0.5X 10)-5/. degree.C., more preferably 0.3X 10-5/℃)。
Typically, the polyester film may be a stretched film obtained through a stretching step. By appropriately adjusting the production conditions in the stretching step, the linear expansion coefficients in the 1 st direction and the 2 nd direction (and the in-plane retardation Re (590) described later) can be controlled well, and as a result, a polyester film having excellent properties for the polarizer protective film from the viewpoints of iridescence and durability as described above can be obtained. The production conditions include stretching conditions (stretching temperature, stretching ratio, stretching speed, MD/TD stretching order), preheating temperature before stretching, heat treatment temperature after stretching, heat treatment time after stretching, relaxation rate in MD/TD direction after stretching, and the like. The stretching temperature, stretching ratio and stretching speed can be appropriately adjusted for each MD/TD.

The in-plane retardation Re (λ) is an in-plane retardation of the film measured at 23 ℃ with light of wavelength λ nm. Accordingly, Re (590) is the in-plane retardation of the film measured with light having a wavelength of 590 nm. For Re (λ), when the thickness of the film is d (nm), by the formula: re (λ) ═ (nx-ny) × d.

In one embodiment, a polyester film with an easy-adhesion layer is provided. The easy-adhesion layer contains, for example, an aqueous polyurethane and an oxazoline crosslinking agent. The easy adhesion layer is described in detail in, for example, japanese patent application laid-open No. 2010-55062. The entire disclosure of this publication is incorporated herein by reference.
In 1 embodiment, the easy adhesion layer contains any suitable fine particles. By forming the easy-adhesion layer containing fine particles, blocking occurring at the time of winding can be effectively suppressed. The fine particles may be inorganic fine particles or organic fine particles. Examples of the inorganic fine particles include inorganic oxides such as silica, titania, alumina, and zirconia, calcium carbonate, talc, clay, calcined kaolin, calcined calcium silicate, hydrated calcium silicate, aluminum silicate, magnesium silicate, and calcium phosphate.

In 1 embodiment, the polyester film may have an anti-blocking layer on at least one side thereof. The anti-blocking layer can be formed by the easy adhesion layer described above. Preferably, the anti-blocking layer comprises the above-described microparticles.
(method for producing polyester film)
The polyester film can be obtained through the following steps: a molding step of molding a film-forming material (resin composition) containing the polyester resin into a film, and a stretching step of stretching the molded film. Preferably, the stretching step includes a preheating treatment of the film performed before the film stretching and a heat treatment performed after the film stretching. In 1 embodiment, the polyester film is provided in a long form (or a form cut out from a long form).
The film-forming material may contain an additive other than the polyester resin, and may contain a solvent. As the additive, any suitable additive may be used according to the purpose. Specific examples of the additives include reactive diluents, plasticizers, surfactants, fillers, antioxidants, anti-aging agents, ultraviolet absorbers, leveling agents, thixotropic agents, antistatic agents, conductive materials, and flame retardants. The amount, kind, combination, addition amount, and the like of the additives may be appropriately set according to the purpose.
As a method for forming a thin film from a thin film-forming material, any appropriate forming process can be used. Specific examples thereof include compression molding, transfer molding, injection molding, extrusion molding, blow molding, powder molding, FRP molding, casting coating (for example, casting), calendering, and hot pressing. Extrusion molding or cast coating is preferred. This is because the smoothness of the obtained film can be improved and good optical uniformity can be obtained.
The film may be stretched in a unidirectional or bidirectional manner.
In 1 embodiment, the film is stretched in the longitudinal direction (MD) by uniaxial stretching as a stretching method of the film.
The biaxial stretching may be sequential biaxial stretching or simultaneous biaxial stretching. Sequential biaxial stretching or simultaneous biaxial stretching is typically performed using a tenter stretching machine. Therefore, the stretching direction of the film is typically the longitudinal direction (MD) and the width direction (TD) of the film.
In 1 embodiment, as the stretching method of the film, sequential biaxial stretching is used. The polyester film is preferably obtained by TD stretching followed by MD stretching. In this way, the influence of the bending (bowing) generated during TD stretching can be alleviated, and the angle formed by the 1 st direction (MD) of the polyester film and the slow axis can be set to an appropriate value.
The stretching temperature is preferably from Tg +5 ℃ to Tg +50 ℃, more preferably from Tg +5 ℃ to Tg +30 ℃, and still more preferably from Tg +6 ℃ to Tg +10 ℃ relative to the glass transition temperature (Tg) of the film. By stretching at such a temperature, a polyester film in which the slow axis direction and the linear expansion coefficient are well-controlled can be obtained. Further, a polyester film having excellent transparency can be obtained.
The stretching magnification in the MD is preferably 1 to 7 times, more preferably 2.5 to 6.5 times, and further preferably 3 to 6 times. Within such a range, a polyester film having good crystallinity and excellent durability can be obtained while controlling the linear expansion coefficient within a desired range.
The stretching ratio in TD is preferably 1 to 7 times, more preferably 1.2 to 4 times, and further preferably 1.5 to 3.5 times. Within such a range, a polyester film having good crystallinity and excellent durability can be obtained by controlling the linear expansion coefficient to a desired range.
The ratio of the stretching ratio in TD to the stretching ratio in MD (MD stretching ratio/TD stretching ratio) is preferably 1 to 4, more preferably 1 to 2. Within such a range, a polyester film with particularly little occurrence of rainbow unevenness can be obtained. In addition, when the obtained polyester film is used, cracks can be prevented from being generated in the polarizer, and a polarizing plate with excellent durability can be obtained.
The stretching speed in the MD is preferably 5%/sec to 100%/sec, more preferably 8%/sec to 80%/sec, and still more preferably 8%/sec to 60%/sec. Within such a range, a polyester film having excellent optical properties, good crystallinity and excellent durability can be obtained.
The stretching speed in TD is preferably 5%/sec to 100%/sec, more preferably 8%/sec to 80%/sec, and still more preferably 8%/sec to 60%/sec. Within such a range, a polyester film having excellent optical properties, good crystallinity and excellent durability can be obtained.
The temperature of the preheating treatment is preferably 80 to 150 ℃ and more preferably 90 to 130 ℃. The time of the preheating treatment is preferably 10 seconds to 100 seconds, more preferably 15 seconds to 80 seconds. Within such a range, a polyester film having excellent optical properties, good crystallinity and excellent durability can be obtained.
The temperature of the heat treatment is preferably 100 to 250 ℃, more preferably 120 to 200 ℃, and still more preferably 130 to 180 ℃. Within such a range, a polyester film having excellent transparency, good crystallinity and excellent durability can be obtained. The time for the heat treatment is preferably 2 seconds to 50 seconds, more preferably 5 seconds to 40 seconds, and further preferably 8 seconds to 30 seconds. Within such a range, a polyester film having excellent transparency, good crystallinity and excellent durability can be obtained.

In embodiment 1, the polarizer 10 and the polyester film 20 (or other polarizer protective film) are laminated via the adhesive layer 30.
In 1 embodiment, the polarizing plate may be applied to an image display device such that a side on which the polyester film is disposed is a visual side. When the polarizing plate is applied to a liquid crystal display device, the polarizing plate provided with a polyester film may be disposed on the viewing side of the liquid crystal cell or on the back side.
As the polarizer, any suitable polarizer may be used. For example, the resin film forming the polarizer may be a single-layer resin film or a laminate of two or more layers.
Specific examples of polarizers made of a single-layer resin film include those obtained by subjecting a hydrophilic polymer film such as a polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) film, a partially formalized PVA film, or an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer partially saponified film to a dyeing treatment and a stretching treatment with a dichroic material such as iodine or a dichroic dye; and polyene-based oriented films such as dehydrated products of PVA and desalted products of polyvinyl chloride. From the viewpoint of excellent optical properties, it is preferable to use a polarizer obtained by dyeing a PVA-based film with iodine and uniaxially stretching the PVA film.
The iodine-based dyeing is performed by, for example, immersing the PVA-based film in an aqueous iodine solution. The stretching ratio of the uniaxial stretching is preferably 3 to 7 times. The stretching may be performed after the dyeing treatment, or may be performed while dyeing. Further, dyeing may be performed after stretching. The PVA-based film is subjected to swelling treatment, crosslinking treatment, washing treatment, drying treatment, and the like as necessary. For example, by immersing the PVA-based film in water and washing it with water before dyeing, not only stains and antiblocking agents on the surface of the PVA-based film can be washed, but also the PVA-based film can be swollen to prevent uneven dyeing and the like.
Specific examples of the polarizer obtained using the laminate include polarizers obtained using: a laminate of a resin substrate and a PVA type resin layer (PVA type resin film) laminated on the resin substrate, or a laminate of a resin substrate and a PVA type resin layer coated and formed on the resin substrate. A polarizer obtained using a laminate of a resin substrate and a PVA-based resin layer formed on the resin substrate by coating can be produced, for example, as follows: coating a PVA-based resin solution on a resin base material and drying the coating to form a PVA-based resin layer on the resin base material, thereby obtaining a laminate of the resin base material and the PVA-based resin layer; the laminate is stretched and dyed to form a polarizing element from the PVA resin layer. In the present embodiment, the stretching typically includes immersing the laminate in an aqueous boric acid solution and stretching. Further, the stretching may include, if necessary, in-air stretching the laminate at a high temperature (for example, 95 ℃ or higher) before the stretching in the aqueous boric acid solution. The obtained resin base material/polarizer laminate may be used as it is (that is, the resin base material may be used as a protective layer for the polarizer), or the resin base material may be peeled off from the resin base material/polarizer laminate and an arbitrary appropriate protective layer suitable for the purpose may be laminated on the peeled surface. The details of the method for producing such a polarizer are described in, for example, japanese patent laid-open No. 2012-73580. The entire disclosure of this publication is incorporated herein by reference.
The thickness of the polarizer is, for example, 1 μm to 80 μm. In 1 embodiment, the thickness of the polarizer is preferably 20 μm or less, and more preferably 3 to 15 μm. When the polyester film of the present invention is used, cracks of the polarizer can be effectively prevented, and therefore, a thin polarizer can be used even under severe environments such as high temperature and large temperature change.
The polarizer and the polarizer protective film (polyester film) may be laminated via any appropriate adhesive layer. Preferably, the adhesive layer is formed of an adhesive composition containing a polyvinyl alcohol resin.
The absorption axis direction of the polarizer is preferably substantially parallel to the 1 st direction (typically MD) or the 2 nd direction (typically TD) of the polyester film, and more preferably substantially parallel to the 1 st direction (typically MD). In this configuration, the polyester film and the polarizer can preferably change their shapes in synchronization with each other. As a result, cracks in the polarizer can be prevented.
The more preferably the angle formed by the slow axis of the polyester film and the absorption axis direction of the polarizer is matched, the more preferably the angle formed by the 2 axes is 0 ° ± 10 °, more preferably 0 ° ± 7 °, and still more preferably 0 ° ± 5 °. Within such a range, a polyester film with less occurrence of rainbow unevenness when applied to an image display device can be obtained. Note that the slow axis angle is an angle when the roller flow direction is set to 0 °.
In the polarizing plate, the absolute value of the difference between the linear expansion coefficient of the polyester film in the 1 st direction and the linear expansion coefficient of the polarizer in the direction parallel to the 1 st direction is preferably 2.0 × 10-5Lower than/° C, more preferably 1.5 × 10-5Lower than/° C, more preferably 1.0X 10-5Below/° c. Within such a range, the polarizer can be prevented from cracking even under severe environments such as high temperature and large temperature change. Linear expansion coefficient of polyester film in 1 st direction and linear expansion of polarizer in direction parallel to 1 st directionThe lower limit of the absolute value of the difference in expansion coefficient is preferably smaller, and may be, for example, 0.1 × 10-5/℃。
In the polarizing plate, the absolute value of the difference between the linear expansion coefficient of the polyester film in the 2 nd direction (direction orthogonal to the 1 st direction) and the linear expansion coefficient of the polarizer in the direction parallel to the 2 nd direction is preferably 2.0 × 10-5Lower than/° C, more preferably 1.5 × 10-5Lower than/° C, more preferably 1.0X 10-5Below/° c. Within such a range, the polarizer can be prevented from cracking even under severe environments such as high temperature and large temperature change. The lower limit of the absolute value of the difference between the linear expansion coefficient of the polyester film in the 2 nd direction and the linear expansion coefficient of the polarizer in the direction parallel to the 2 nd direction is preferably smaller, and may be, for example, 0.1X 10-5/℃。
In 1 embodiment, the absolute value of the difference between the linear expansion coefficient of the polyester film in the 1 st direction and the linear expansion coefficient of the polarizer in the direction parallel to the 1 st direction, and the absolute value of the difference between the linear expansion coefficient of the polyester film in the 2 nd direction (the direction orthogonal to the 1 st direction) and the linear expansion coefficient of the polarizer in the direction parallel to the 2 nd direction are both 2.0 × 10-5Lower than/° C (preferably 1.0X 10)-5Below/° c). Within such a range, the polarizer can be prevented from cracking even under severe environments such as high temperature and large temperature change.
Fig. 2 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a polarizing plate according to another embodiment of the present invention. The polarizing plate 200 further includes an easy-adhesion layer 40 disposed on the polarizer 10 side of the polyester film 20. In embodiment 1, the easy-adhesive layer-attached polyester film a is disposed on the polarizer 10 so that the easy-adhesive layer 40 is on the polarizer 10 side. The easy adhesion layer may be the easy adhesion layer described in the above item a.
C. Image display device
The polarizing plate can be applied to an image display device. As typical examples of the image display device, a liquid crystal display device and an organic Electroluminescence (EL) display device can be given. Since the image display device has a structure known in the art, detailed description thereof will be omitted.
Examples
The present invention will be specifically described below with reference to examples, but the present invention is not limited to these examples. The measurement methods of the characteristics in the examples are as follows. Unless otherwise specified, "parts" and "%" in the examples are based on weight.
(1) Orientation angle (slow axis expression direction)
The center portions of the polyester films obtained in examples and comparative examples were cut into square shapes having a width of 50mm and a length of 50mm so that one side of the center portion was parallel to the width direction of the film, to prepare samples. The sample was measured by means of a Mueller matrix polarimeter (product name "Axoscan" manufactured by Axometrics), and the orientation angle θ at a wavelength of 550nm and 23 ℃ was measured. The orientation angle θ was measured in a state where the sample was placed in parallel on the measurement table.
(2) Coefficient of linear expansion
The linear expansion coefficients of the polyester film and the polarizer were measured by heating the test film from 30 ℃ to 150 ℃ at a rate of 10 ℃ per minute using a thermomechanical analyzer "TMA 7000" manufactured by Hitachi High-Tech Science Corporation in accordance with JIS K7197, and measuring the deformation amounts of the test film at the respective temperatures. Then, the linear expansion coefficient of the film was determined from the amount of deformation in the temperature range of 30 to 70 ℃. Note that, the case where the film size increases (expands) with an increase in temperature is referred to as positive (+) and the case where the film size decreases (contracts) with an increase in temperature is referred to as negative (-) respectively.
The polyester film was measured for its linear expansion coefficient in MD (1 st direction) and TD (2 nd direction). For the polarizer, the linear expansion coefficients in the polarizing plate in the direction parallel to the MD and the direction parallel to the TD were measured.
(3) Degree of crystallinity
The crystallinity of the polyester films used in examples and comparative examples was measured by Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC). The calorific value and the amount of fusion heat observed at the temperature rise of the sample to 300 ℃ at 10 ℃/min were determined, and the crystallinity was determined by the following equation. The calorific value and the quantity of heat of fusion were measured using Q-2000 manufactured by TA instruments.
Degree of crystallinity (%) (heat of fusion obtained in measurement-calorific value obtained in measurement)/degree of crystallinity 100% heat of fusion of polyethylene terephthalate (119mJ/mg) × 100
(4) Rainbow spot
The liquid crystal cell was taken out from liquid crystal TV "45 UH 7500" manufactured by LGD corporation, and the polarizing plate on the backlight side was peeled off. The polarizing plates obtained in examples and comparative examples were bonded to the surface of the liquid crystal TV from which the polarizing plate was peeled via an adhesive so that the absorption axis of the polarizer became the short side of the liquid crystal TV. The liquid crystal cell to which the polarizing plate obtained in example and comparative example was attached was set again, and the TV was lit to white display.
The liquid crystal TV was visually observed in all directions at a polar angle of 60 ° to observe the presence or absence of rainbow spots. Evaluation was performed according to the following criteria.
O: no iridescent plaques were observed
And (delta): slight iridescent spotting was observed
X: obvious rainbow spots were observed
(5) Dimensional change
The polyester films used in examples and comparative examples were cut into 100mm × 100 mm. Thereafter, the film was placed in a heating oven at 100 ℃ for 24 hours, and then the film was taken out, and the dimensions were measured again accurately, and the dimensions were confirmed with a metal ruler to determine the dimensional change. The state of the sample was visually confirmed, and the evaluation was performed according to the following criteria.
O: without significant shrinkage above 1mm
X: having a shrinkage or deformation of more than 1mm
(6) Crack test (thermal shock acceleration test)
The polarizing plates obtained in examples and comparative examples were evaluated by a cold thermal impact tester (manufactured by ESPEC).
The polarizing plates obtained in examples and comparative examples were cut into a size of 50mm in width by 150mm in length. At this time, a sample in which the absorption axis direction of the polarizer is parallel to the lateral direction (short side) of the cut polarizing plate and a sample in which the transmission axis direction of the polarizer is parallel to the lateral direction (short side) of the cut polarizing plate were prepared. A sample was prepared by laminating the surface of the polarizing plate on which the protective film (polyester film) was not laminated with an alkali-free glass having a thickness of 0.5mm via an acrylic adhesive.
The obtained sample was placed in the test area of a cold-hot impact tester, and the temperature in the test area was decreased from room temperature to-40 ℃ over 30 minutes. Subsequently, the temperature in the test area was raised to 85 ℃ over 30 minutes, and then, the temperature was again lowered to-40 ℃ over 30 minutes. The step of raising the temperature from-40 ℃ to 85 ℃ and lowering the temperature again to-40 ℃ was repeated for 100 cycles and 200 cycles using 1 cycle, and then the laminate was taken out and the presence of cracks was visually checked, and evaluated according to the following criteria.
Very good: no cracks were observed even after repeating 300 cycles.
O: no cracks were observed after repeating 200 cycles but cracks were generated after repeating 300 cycles.
And (delta): no cracks were observed after repeating 100 cycles but cracks were generated after repeating 200 cycles.
X: cracks were generated after repeating 100 cycles.
