Description

Method for producing transparent conductive film
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a method for producing a transparent conductive film.
Background
Conventionally, in an image display device having a touch sensor, a transparent conductive film obtained by forming a metal oxide layer such as ITO (indium tin composite oxide) on a transparent resin film has been often used as an electrode of the touch sensor. However, the transparent conductive film including the metal oxide layer is liable to lose conductivity by bending, and thus has a problem that it is difficult to use the transparent conductive film for applications requiring bendability, such as flexible displays.
On the other hand, as a transparent conductive film having high flexibility, a transparent conductive film including metal nanowires is known. The metal nanowire is a linear conductive material having a diameter of a nanometer size. In the transparent conductive film composed of metal nanowires, the metal nanowires are in a mesh shape, and thus a good electrical conduction path is formed with a small amount of metal nanowires, and openings are formed in gaps of the mesh, thereby achieving high light transmittance. On the other hand, since the metal nanowires are linear, they are easily arranged in an oriented state, and thus there is a problem that conductive anisotropy occurs in the transparent conductive film including the metal nanowires.

Detailed Description
A. Outline of method for producing transparent conductive film
The method for producing a transparent conductive film of the present invention comprises: a coating step of forming a coating layer by coating a transparent conductive layer forming composition containing metal nanowires on a long base material while conveying the base material; and an air blowing step of blowing air from above the coating layer (on the side opposite to the substrate side of the coating layer). According to the production method of the present invention, a transparent conductive film including a substrate and a transparent conductive layer disposed on one side of the substrate can be obtained. The production method of the present invention may include any appropriate other steps in addition to the coating step and the blowing step. In one embodiment, the above-described production method may further include a drying step of drying the coating layer after the air blowing step. In another embodiment, the air blowing step is a step of drying the coating layer, and the transparent conductive layer is formed through the air blowing step.
Typically, the coating step and the air blowing step (and other steps such as a drying step as needed) are performed while the base material in a rolled state is fed and conveyed, and a long transparent conductive film including the base material and a transparent conductive layer disposed on one side of the base material is formed. In one embodiment, the transparent conductive film is wound after formation.
Fig. 1(a) to (c) are schematic front views (views when viewed from the transparent conductive film winding side) illustrating the blowing direction in the blowing step according to one embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 1(a) to (c) illustrate blowing when viewed from the side of the substrate 10 on which the coating layer 21 is formed.
In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 1(a), the air blow in the air blow step includes air blow in a direction substantially perpendicular to the surface of the coating layer 21. In the present specification, the term substantially perpendicular means that the angle formed between the two directions is 80 ° to 100 °. In the present embodiment, the angle formed by the air blowing direction Z in the air blowing step and the surface of the coating layer 21 is preferably 85 ° to 95 °, and more preferably 87 ° to 93 °.
In another embodiment, as shown in fig. 1(b), the air blow in the air blow step includes air blow in a direction inclined with respect to the surface of the coating layer 21. In the present specification, the oblique direction means that an angle formed by two directions is 20 ° or more and less than 80 °, or more than 100 ° and 160 ° or less. In the present embodiment, the angle formed by the air blowing direction Z and the surface of the coating layer 21 in the air blowing step is preferably 30 ° or more and less than 80 °, or more than 100 ° and 150 ° or less, and more preferably 45 ° to 75 ° or 105 ° to 135 °. Further, the blowing in the substantially vertical direction and the blowing in the oblique direction may be combined, and for example, the blowing may be performed in a conical shape or a fan shape.
In the case where air is blown in an oblique direction in the air blowing step, the air blowing direction when viewed from the coating layer surface side may be parallel to the conveyance direction a of the substrate or may not be parallel thereto. The angle formed by the air blowing direction and the conveyance direction a of the base material when viewed from the coating layer surface side is preferably 0 ° to 60 °, more preferably 0 ° to 45 °, and still more preferably 0 ° to 30 °.
As an embodiment in which air is blown from above the coating layer (the coating layer is on the side opposite to the substrate), in addition to the embodiments shown in fig. 1(a) and (b), an embodiment in which air is blown spirally (that is, air is caused to flow as a spiral flow) as shown in fig. 1(c) may be mentioned. In the present specification, in order to distinguish from the wind blowing in a spiral shape, wind blowing in a substantially constant direction without a spiral shape like the wind shown in fig. 1(a) and (b) is referred to as rectified wind.
In the case of blowing air in a spiral shape, the direction Z' of the spiral axis of the air when viewed from the side surface side of the substrate 10 may be substantially perpendicular to the surface of the coating layer 21 or may be oblique. In fig. 1(c), a spiral flow wind in which the direction Z' of the spiral shaft is substantially perpendicular to the surface of the coating layer 21 is blown toward the surface of the coating layer 21. In the present embodiment, the angle formed by the spiral axis direction Z' of the wind in the wind blowing step and the surface of the coating layer 21 is preferably 85 ° to 95 °, and more preferably 87 ° to 93 °.
When the direction Z 'of the spiral axis of the wind is a direction inclined with respect to the surface of the coating layer 21, the angle formed by the spiral axis direction Z' of the wind and the surface of the coating layer 21 in the air blowing step is preferably 30 ° or more and less than 80 °, or more than 100 ° and 150 °, and more preferably 45 ° to 75 ° or 105 ° to 135 °.
When the direction Z' of the spiral axis of the wind is an oblique direction, the direction of the spiral axis of the wind may be parallel to or not parallel to the conveyance direction a of the substrate when viewed from the coating layer surface side. The angle formed by the direction of the helical axis of the wind and the transport direction a of the substrate when viewed from the coating layer surface side is preferably 0 ° to 60 °, more preferably 0 ° to 45 °, and still more preferably 0 ° to 30 °.
In the present invention, the orientation of the metal nanowires is disturbed by setting the direction of the wind in the blowing step to a specific direction, and as a result, a transparent conductive film having low conductive anisotropy can be produced. In addition, by blowing air from above the coated layer surface, the metal nanowires can be locally present on the substrate side in the coated layer and closely exist, and the metal nanowires are in more contact with each other. As a result, a transparent conductive film having excellent conductivity can be obtained.
B. Coating step
As described above, in the coating step, while the long-sized base material is conveyed, the composition for forming a transparent conductive layer containing the metal nanowires is coated on the base material to form the coating layer.
(substrate)
Any suitable material may be used for the material constituting the substrate. Specifically, for example, a polymer substrate such as a film or a plastic substrate can be preferably used. This is because the smoothness of the substrate and the wettability with respect to the composition for forming a transparent conductive layer are excellent, and the productivity can be greatly improved by continuous production using a roll.
The material constituting the substrate is typically a polymer film containing a thermoplastic resin as a main component. Examples of the thermoplastic resin include: polyester resins, cycloolefin resins such as polynorbornene, acrylic resins, polycarbonate resins, cellulose resins, and the like. Among them, polyester-based resins, cycloolefin-based resins, or acrylic-based resins are preferable. These resins are excellent in transparency, mechanical strength, thermal stability, moisture barrier property, and the like. The thermoplastic resins may be used alone or in combination of two or more. In addition, an optical film used for a polarizing plate, for example, a low retardation substrate, a high retardation substrate, a retardation plate, a luminance improving film, or the like may be used as the substrate.
The thickness of the substrate is preferably 20 to 200. mu.m, more preferably 30 to 150. mu.m.
The total light transmittance of the substrate is preferably 30% or more, more preferably 35% or more, and further preferably 40% or more.
As a method of conveying the substrate, any suitable method may be adopted. Examples thereof include conveyance by a conveyance roller, conveyance by a conveyance belt, and a combination thereof. The transport speed is, for example, 5 m/min to 50 m/min.
(Metal nanowire)
The metal nanowire is a conductive material having a material of metal, a needle-like or wire-like shape, and a diameter of nanometer. The metal nanowire may be linear or curved. When the transparent conductive layer made of metal nanowires is used, the metal nanowires are formed into a mesh shape, whereby a good electrical conduction path can be formed even with a small amount of metal nanowires, and a transparent conductive film with low resistance can be obtained. Further, by forming the metal nanowires in a mesh shape and forming openings in gaps of the mesh, a transparent conductive film having high light transmittance can be obtained.
The ratio of the thickness d to the length L (aspect ratio: L/d) of the metal nanowire is preferably 10 to 100000, more preferably 50 to 100000, and particularly preferably 100 to 10000. When such a metal nanowire having a large aspect ratio is used, the metal nanowire is favorably crossed, and high conductivity can be exhibited by a small amount of the metal nanowire. As a result, a transparent conductive film having high light transmittance can be obtained. In the present specification, the "thickness of the metal nanowire" means a diameter of the metal nanowire when the cross section of the metal nanowire is circular, a short diameter of the metal nanowire when the metal nanowire is elliptical, and a longest diagonal line when the metal nanowire is polygonal. The thickness and length of the metal nanowire can be confirmed by a scanning electron microscope or a transmission electron microscope.
The thickness of the metal nanowires is preferably less than 500nm, more preferably less than 200nm, particularly preferably 10 to 100nm, and most preferably 10 to 50 nm. In such a range, a transparent conductive layer having high light transmittance can be formed.
The length of the metal nanowire is preferably 1 to 1000. mu.m, more preferably 10 to 500. mu.m, and particularly preferably 10 to 100. mu.m. Within such a range, a transparent conductive film having high conductivity can be obtained.
As the metal constituting the metal nanowire, any appropriate metal may be used as long as it is a conductive metal. Examples of the metal constituting the metal nanowire include: silver, gold, copper, nickel, and the like. In addition, a material obtained by subjecting these metals to plating treatment (for example, gold plating treatment) may be used. Among them, silver, copper, or gold is preferable, and silver is more preferable, from the viewpoint of conductivity.
As the method for producing the metal nanowire, any appropriate method can be used. For example, a method of reducing silver nitrate in a solution; and a method of applying a voltage or a current from the tip of the probe to the surface of the precursor, drawing the metal nanowire from the tip of the probe, and continuously forming the metal nanowire. In the method of reducing silver nitrate in a solution, silver nanowires can be synthesized by reducing a silver salt such as silver nitrate in a liquid phase in the presence of a polyhydric alcohol such as ethylene glycol and polyvinylpyrrolidone. Silver nanowires of uniform size can be produced in large quantities, for example, according to the methods described in Xia, Y.et al, chem.Mater. (2002), 14, 4736-.
(composition for Forming transparent conductive layer)
The composition for forming a transparent conductive layer contains metal nanowires. In one embodiment, the composition for forming a transparent conductive layer is prepared by dispersing metal nanowires in any suitable solvent. Examples of the solvent include: water, alcohol solvents, ketone solvents, ether solvents, hydrocarbon solvents, aromatic solvents, and the like. The composition for forming a transparent conductive layer may further contain additives such as a conductive material (for example, conductive particles) other than the resin (binder resin) and the metal nanowires, and a leveling agent. The composition for forming a transparent conductive layer may further contain additives such as a plasticizer, a heat stabilizer, a light stabilizer, a lubricant, an antioxidant, an ultraviolet absorber, a flame retardant, a colorant, an antistatic agent, a compatibilizer, a crosslinking agent, a thickener, inorganic particles, a surfactant, and a dispersant.
The viscosity of the composition for forming a transparent conductive layer is preferably 5 mPs/25 to 300 mPs/25 ℃, and more preferably 10 mPs/25 to 100 mPs/25 ℃. In such a range, the effect obtained by setting the direction of the wind in the air blowing step to a specific direction is increased. The viscosity of the composition for forming a transparent conductive layer can be measured by a rheometer (for example, MCR302 by Anton Paar).
The dispersion concentration of the metal nanowires in the composition for forming a transparent conductive layer is preferably 0.01 to 5 wt%. Within such a range, the effect of the present invention is remarkable.
As a method for applying the composition for forming a transparent conductive layer, any appropriate method can be used. Examples of the coating method include: spray coating, bar coating, roll coating, die coating, inkjet coating, screen coating, dip coating, relief printing, gravure printing, and the like.
The weight per unit area of the coating layer is preferably 0.3g/m2～30g/m2More preferably 1.6g/m2～16g/m2. In such a range, the metal nanowires can be dispersed well by air blowing in the air blowing step, and a transparent conductive film having a smaller conductive anisotropy can be produced.
The thickness of the coating layer is preferably 1 to 50 μm, more preferably 2 to 40 μm.
C. Air blowing process
As described above, in the air blowing step, air is blown to the coating layer side, and the orientation of the metal nanowires in the coating layer is set to an appropriate orientation. The direction of the air blow is as explained in item a.
The air supply to the coating layer may be performed by any suitable method. In one embodiment, the air blowing to the coating layer may be performed by using an air blower disposed above the coating layer (on the side opposite to the substrate). The air blowing direction may be adjusted by providing a louver in the air blower, for example, and by the direction of the louver. In one embodiment, the air blowing direction is defined by the opening direction of the louver. In the case of blowing the spiral wind, a blower having a spiral wind direction plate at the wind blowing port may be used.
The wind speed is preferably 0.5 to 10m/s, more preferably 1 to 7 m/s. In such a range, the metal nanowires are well dispersed in the vicinity of the substrate, and a transparent conductive film having excellent conductivity and smaller conductive anisotropy can be produced. Further, a transparent conductive film having excellent surface smoothness and thickness uniformity can be obtained. The wind speed may be appropriately set according to the solvent and the like contained in the composition for forming a transparent conductive layer. In the case of using the composition for forming a transparent conductive layer prepared from water, the wind speed is preferably 0.5 to 10m/s, more preferably 1 to 7 m/s. In the present specification, the wind speed refers to the wind speed at the time when the coating layer is reached.
The temperature of the air is preferably 10 to 50 ℃, more preferably 15 to 30 ℃. The wind speed may be appropriately set according to the solvent and the like contained in the composition for forming a transparent conductive layer. When a composition for forming a transparent conductive layer prepared from water is used, the temperature of the air is preferably 10 to 50 ℃, more preferably 15 to 30 ℃. In the present specification, the temperature of the wind refers to the temperature of the wind at the time when the wind reaches the coating layer.
The air blowing time is preferably 1 minute to 10 minutes, more preferably 2 minutes to 5 minutes. In such a range, the metal nanowires are well dispersed, and a transparent conductive film having smaller conductive anisotropy can be produced. Specifically, if the blown area is determined so that the blowing time falls within the above range, the metal nanowires can be appropriately dispersed throughout the coating layer, and a transparent conductive film having a smaller conductive anisotropy can be produced. Further, a transparent conductive film having excellent surface smoothness and thickness uniformity can be obtained.
In one embodiment, the air blow is applied to the substrate (substrate having the coating layer formed thereon) on the transport roller. Thus, the metal nanowires are well dispersed, and a transparent conductive film having less conductive anisotropy can be manufactured. Further, a transparent conductive film having excellent surface smoothness and thickness uniformity can be obtained.
In the air blowing step, air blowing may be performed in multiple stages. For example, the air may be blown in stages by dividing the air into different sections such as wind direction, wind speed, and temperature. Alternatively, the air may be heated in an oven and dried naturally before the air blowing stepAnd the like to reduce the thickness of the coating layer. The weight per unit area of the coating layer at the start of the air blowing step is preferably 0.001g/m2～0.09g/m2More preferably 0.005g/m2～0.05g/m2。
Any appropriate treatment may be performed after the air blowing step. For example, when a composition for forming a transparent conductive layer containing a binder resin is used, curing treatment by ultraviolet irradiation or the like may be performed. Further, the drying step may be performed after the air blowing step. Examples of the drying method include oven heating and natural drying.
D. Transparent conductive film
The transparent conductive film is formed by the above-described manufacturing method. Fig. 2 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a transparent conductive film obtained by a manufacturing method according to an embodiment of the present invention. The transparent conductive film 100 includes: a substrate 10, and a transparent conductive layer 20 disposed on one side of the substrate 10.
The surface resistance value of the transparent conductive film is preferably 0.1. omega./□ to 1000. omega./□, more preferably 0.5. omega./□ to 300. omega./□, and particularly preferably 1. omega./□ to 200. omega./□. The ratio (TD/MD) of the surface resistance value in TD (direction orthogonal to MD) to the surface resistance value in MD (conveying direction) of the transparent conductive film is preferably 0.7 to 1.5, more preferably 0.8 to 1.2, and particularly preferably 0.9 to 1.1. The surface resistance value can be measured by "automatic resistivity measuring system MCP-S620 model. MCP-S521 model" of MITSUBISHI CHEMICAL ANALYTECH.
The haze value of the transparent conductive film is preferably 20% or less, more preferably 10% or less, and still more preferably 0.1% to 5%.
The total light transmittance of the transparent conductive film is preferably 30% or more, more preferably 35%, and particularly preferably 40% or more.
The weight per unit area of the transparent conductive layer is preferably 0.001g/m2～0.09g/m2More preferably 0.005g/m2～0.05g/m2。
The content ratio of the metal nanowires in the transparent conductive layer is preferably 0.1 to 50 parts by weight, and more preferably 0.1 to 30 parts by weight, based on 100 parts by weight of the binder resin constituting the transparent conductive layer. Within such a range, a transparent conductive film having excellent conductivity and light transmittance can be obtained.
Examples
The present invention will be specifically described below with reference to examples, but the present invention is not limited to these examples at all. The evaluation methods of the examples are as follows. The thickness was measured by using a scanning electron microscope "S-4800" manufactured by hitachi high and new technologies, in which a cross section was formed by cutting with a microtome after embedding with an epoxy resin.
(1) Surface resistance value
The surface resistance value of the transparent conductive film was measured by the eddy current method using a non-contact surface resistance tester manufactured by NAPSON corporation, trade name "EC-80". The measurement temperature was set at 23 ℃.
(2) Anisotropy measurement of electrical resistance
The coated film was cut out by 5X 2.5cm in the coating direction and the width direction, and a silver paste (product name D-550) was applied (made by Tanscano chemical Co., Ltd.) to the area other than the opening portion of 2.5cm □ at the center, and left for 3 hours. After the silver paste was dried, the anode and cathode of the tester were brought into contact with the silver paste portion, and the resistance of the opening portion was measured. The resistance anisotropy was defined as "resistance value in the width direction"/"resistance value in the coating direction".
