Detailed Description
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described. Various feature items shown in the embodiments shown below can be combined with each other. The present invention is implemented independently for each feature.
1. Light diffusion plate
A light diffuser plate according to an embodiment of the present invention is a light diffuser plate containing a styrene resin composition. The thickness of the light diffusion plate is not particularly limited, and is, for example, 1 to 3 mm. Further, the light diffuser plate may be formed by laminating an ultraviolet absorbing layer mixed with an ultraviolet absorber or a light stabilizer.
One embodiment relates to a light diffusion plate, the surface of which may be coated with an antistatic agent. By applying the antistatic agent, adhesion of dust and the like due to static electricity can be suppressed after the light diffusion plate is mounted on the backlight device, and thus the backlight device can be used for a long period of time without lowering the luminance. The light diffuser plate of the present invention may have fine irregularities such as embosses on both surfaces or one surface, and may have a lens shape such as a semicircular shape or an elliptical shape or a prism shape on both surfaces or one surface.
< styrene resin composition >
The styrene resin composition contains a styrene resin (A), an antioxidant (B) and a light diffuser (C). The styrene resin composition contains 0.1 to 10 [ mu ] g of tert-butyl catechol.

When the content of t-butyl catechol is less than 0.1 μ g/g, the effect of inhibiting oxidative deterioration during thermal molding is small, and therefore, the strength of the light diffusion plate is weakened, and when the content of t-butyl catechol is more than 10 μ g/g, t-butyl catechol itself becomes a coloring component, and not only the long-term durability of the light diffusion plate is lowered, but also the strength is lowered.
< styrene resin (A) >
The styrene resin (a) is a resin obtained by polymerizing a styrene monomer as a main component, and specifically, a resin containing more than 50% of a styrene monomer. The styrene monomer is a single or a mixture of 2 or more species of styrene, α -methylstyrene, o-methylstyrene, p-methylstyrene, m-methylstyrene, ethylstyrene, p-tert-butylstyrene, etc., which are aromatic styrene monomers, and styrene is preferred.

The strength is good when the weight average molecular weight (Mw) is 20 ten thousand or more, and the moldability is good when the weight average molecular weight (Mw) is 40 ten thousand or less. The moldability is good when the ratio of the weight average molecular weight (Mw) to the number average molecular weight (Mn) is 1.0 or more, and the strength is good when the ratio is 3.0 or less. When the ratio (Mz/Mw) of the Z-average molecular weight (Mz) to the weight-average molecular weight (Mw) is 1.0 or more, moldability is good, and strength is good when the ratio is 2.0 or less.

< other additives >
Various additives may be added to the styrene resin composition as needed within a range not to impair the characteristics of the present invention. The type of the additive is not particularly limited as long as it is generally used for plastics, and examples thereof include flame retardants, lubricants, processing aids, antiblocking agents, antistatic agents, antifogging agents, light resistance improvers, softeners, plasticizers, inorganic reinforcing agents, crosslinking agents, pigments, dyes, others, and mixtures thereof.
2. Styrene resin composition and method for producing light diffusion plate
The styrene resin composition of the present invention can be produced by adding an antioxidant (B) and a light diffusing agent (C) to a styrene resin (a). The antioxidant (B) and the light diffusing agent (C) may be added when the styrene resin (a) is polymerized, or may be produced by melt-kneading the antioxidant (B) and the light diffusing agent (C) in an extruder after the styrene resin (a) is polymerized. Further, it can be prepared by preliminarily melt-kneading the antioxidant (B) and the light diffusing agent (C) together with a small amount of a styrene-based resin to obtain a pellet-shaped master batch, dry-mixing the styrene-based resin (a) with the master batch, and melt-kneading the mixture.
Examples of the polymerization method of the styrene resin include known styrene polymerization methods such as a bulk polymerization method, a solution polymerization method, a suspension polymerization method, and an emulsion polymerization method. From the viewpoint of quality and productivity, the bulk polymerization method and the solution polymerization method are preferable, and the continuous polymerization is preferable. Examples of the solvent include alkylbenzenes such as benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene, ketones such as acetone and methyl ethyl ketone, and aliphatic hydrocarbons such as hexane and cyclohexane.
In the polymerization of the styrene resin (a), a polymerization assistant such as a polymerization initiator, a chain transfer agent, a crosslinking agent, and the like, and other polymerization assistants may be used as necessary. As the polymerization initiator, a radical polymerization initiator is preferred, and conventionally known examples thereof include peroxides such as 1, 1-bis (t-butylperoxy) cyclohexane, 2-bis (t-butylperoxy) butane, 2-bis (4, 4-di-t-butylperoxycyclohexyl) propane and 1, 1-bis (t-amylperoxy) cyclohexane, hydroperoxides such as cumene hydroperoxide and t-butylhydroperoxide, alkyl peroxides such as t-butyl peroxyacetate and t-amyl peroxyisononanoate, dialkyl peroxides such as t-butylcumyl peroxide, di-t-butyl peroxide, dicumyl peroxide and di-t-hexylperoxide, peroxyesters such as t-butyl peroxyacetate, t-butyl peroxybenzoate and t-butylperoxyisopropyl monocarbonate, t-butylperoxyisopropyl carbonate, peroxyisopropyl carbonate, and the like, Peroxycarbonates such as polyether tetra (t-butyl peroxycarbonate), N '-azobis (cyclohexane-1-carbonitrile), N' -azobis (2-methylbutyronitrile), N '-azobis (2, 4-dimethylvaleronitrile), N' -azobis [2- (hydroxymethyl) propionitrile ], and the like, and 1 or 2 or more of these may be used in combination. Examples of the chain transfer agent include aliphatic mercaptans, aromatic mercaptans, pentaphenyl ethane, α -methylstyrene dimer, terpinolene, and the like.
In the continuous polymerization, the styrene resin can be produced by a method including a polymerization step, a devolatilization step, and a granulation step.
First, in the polymerization step, a polymerization reaction is controlled by using a known complete mixing tank-type stirring vessel, a column-type reactor, or the like, and the polymerization temperature is adjusted to achieve a target molecular weight, molecular weight distribution, and reaction conversion.
The polymerization solution containing the polymer leaving the polymerization step is transferred to a devolatilization step, and unreacted monomers and polymerization solvent are removed. The devolatilization step is composed of a vacuum devolatilization tank with a heater, a devolatilization extruder with a vent, and the like. The polymer in a molten state leaving the devolatilization step is transferred to a granulation step. In the granulating step, the molten resin is extruded from the porous die into a strand shape, and processed into a pellet shape by a cold cutting method, an in-air hot cutting method, or an in-water hot cutting method.
The content of t-butylcatechol in the styrene resin composition can be adjusted to the content at the start of polymerization of the styrene resin (a) and the content in the subsequent devolatilization step. The addition of the styrene resin (a), the antioxidant (B), the light diffusing agent (C), and the like to the styrene resin (a) can be adjusted before or after the addition of the styrene resin (a), the antioxidant (B), the light diffusing agent (C), and the like.
The light diffuser plate can be molded by extrusion molding, injection molding of a styrene resin composition, or the like, and is preferably manufactured by extrusion molding. The extrusion molding may be, for example, a method in which a styrene-based resin composition is melt-kneaded using a single-screw extruder or a twin-screw extruder, and the kneaded product is continuously set in a T-die and then cooled and fixed by a cooling roll unit. When the surface of the light diffusion plate is formed with the irregular shape, the surface of the cooling roll is provided with a transcription type, and the shape of the transcription type is changed to form an arbitrary irregular shape. In addition, when surface layers are laminated on both surfaces or one surface of the light diffusion plate, a co-extrusion method, a pasting method, a thermal bonding method, a solvent bonding method, a casting method, a surface coating method, or the like can be used.
3. Others

Thereafter, two commercially available light diffusion films were laminated on the front side of the light diffusion plate, and a luminance improving film ("DBFF" manufactured by 3M) was further laminated on the front side thereof, and the luminance at each point (51 × 51 at 2601) was measured over the entire front surface of the lcd tv using a multipoint luminance meter with the LED turned on, and the average value of the luminances was defined as the average luminance (cd/M)2). Further, the average luminance difference (%) was obtained by the following equation.
Average luminance difference (%) { (average luminance of example) - (average luminance of comparative example 1) }/(average luminance of comparative example 1) × 100
< diffusion Rate >
The light was entered from a white light source in a direction perpendicular to the surface of the light diffusion plate using a goniophotometer manufactured by Optech, and the luminance of transmitted light was measured at 5 degrees, 20 degrees, and 70 degrees with the direction perpendicular to the surface of the light diffusion plate being 0 degree, and the diffusivity was obtained by the following formula.
Light diffusivity (%) — (luminance of 20 degrees + luminance of 70 degrees)/(luminance of 5 degrees × 2) × 100
< Strength >
A test piece of 200 mm. times.200 mm was cut out of the light diffusion plate to obtain an evaluation test piece. A ball having a weight of 16.6g was used, and the 50% fracture height was measured according to JIS K-7211 and evaluated according to the following criteria.
50% breaking height greater than 40cm
Delta, 50% breaking height of 20-40 cm
X 50% of the height of fracture is less than 20cm
2. Durability test
After cutting out a light diffuser plate of 115mm × 115mm, the evaluation test piece was exposed for 1000 hours in a tank set at a temperature of 80 ℃ using a Machil-hardened Gear oven HISPECH T310.
The results of the long-term durability are shown in the respective measurement results after the above-described durability test.
3. Synthesis of styrene resin
Styrene resins PS-1 to PS-5 were synthesized under the conditions shown in Table 1.
(Synthesis of PS-1)
A first reactor and a second reactor, which were a complete mixing type stirring tank, and a third reactor, which was a plug flow reactor equipped with a static mixer, were connected in series to constitute a polymerization step, and styrene-based resins were produced under the conditions shown in table 1. The capacity of each reactor was 39 liters for the first reactor, 39 liters for the second reactor and 16 liters for the third reactor. A raw material solution was prepared from the raw material composition shown in table 1, and the raw material solution was continuously supplied to the first reactor at a flow rate shown in table 1. The polymerization initiator was added to the raw material solution at an addition concentration (concentration based on the mass of the raw material styrene) shown in table 1 at the inlet of the first reactor, and uniformly mixed. The polymerization initiators described in table 1 are shown below:
polymerization initiator 1:2, 2-bis (4, 4-t-butylperoxycyclohexyl) propane (Pertetra, manufactured by Nichii oil Co., Ltd.) was used
Polymerization initiator 2:1, 1-bis (t-butylperoxy) cyclohexane (Perh EXAC manufactured by Nichikoku Co., Ltd.)
In the third reactor, a temperature gradient was applied in the flow direction, and the intermediate portion and the outlet portion were adjusted to the temperatures in table 1.
Next, the polymer-containing solution continuously withdrawn from the third reactor was introduced into a two-stage vacuum devolatilization vessel equipped with a preheater and configured in series, and the temperature of the preheater was adjusted to the resin temperature shown in table 1 and the pressure shown in table 1, thereby separating unreacted styrene and ethylbenzene, followed by extrusion in pellets from a porous die, and the pellets were cooled and cut by a cold cutting method to form pellets.
PS-2 to PS-5 were synthesized in the same manner as PS-1, except that the conditions were changed according to Table 1.

4. Examples comparative examples
The following methods were used to carry out the examples and comparative examples.
< example 1>
A styrene-based resin composition was obtained by mixing 0.2 parts by mass of a phosphorus antioxidant (HP-10), 0.1 parts by mass of a phosphorus-phenol antioxidant (GP), and 1.0 part by mass of a light diffusing agent (MBX-8) with 100 parts by mass of a styrene-based resin (PS-1) containing Tertiary Butyl Catechol (TBC) in an amount shown in Table 1 by a mixer, and mixing the components at a cylinder temperature of 230 ℃ and a screw rotation speed of 100rpm by using a single-screw extruder having a screw diameter of 40 mm.
Then, the styrene resin composition is supplied to a uniaxial air vent extruder with a screw diameter of 90mm and an L/D of 32, melt-kneaded at 200 to 235 ℃, discharged at 245 to 250 ℃ by a T die with a die lip width of 1000mm and a die lip opening of 3.0mm, cooled and solidified by 3 vertical cooling rolls, and trimmed to obtain an optical diffuser plate with a width of 800mm and a thickness of 2.0 mm. The initial optical properties of the light diffusion plate were measured by each measurement method, and the initial intensity was measured. Thereafter, the durability test was performed, and the optical properties after the test were measured by each measurement method. These results are shown in Table 2.
< examples 2 to 15 > comparative examples 1 to 7>
Resin compositions and light diffusion plates were obtained and measured in the same manner as in example 1, except that the conditions in examples 2 to 15 and comparative examples 1 to 7 were changed as shown in tables 2 and 3. The results are shown in tables 2 and 3.
