Description

Styrene resin composition for optical use, light guide plate, and surface light source unit of side light type
[ technical field ] A method for producing a semiconductor device
The present invention relates to an optical styrene resin composition, a light guide plate and a sidelight type surface light source unit.
[ Prior Art ]
The backlight of the liquid crystal display includes a direct type backlight in which a light source is disposed on the back surface of the display device and a side light type backlight in which a light source is disposed on the side surface. The edge light type backlight uses a light guide plate, and is used for a wide range of applications such as displays of televisions, desktop personal computers, notebook personal computers, cellular phones, and monitors for car navigation, in which light from a light source disposed on a side surface is guided to a full-surface display. Furthermore, a backlight using a light guide plate is also used for lighting or a signboard.
Since the light guide plate has a relatively long light transmission distance and a large light loss at the optical path length, it is required to have a particularly high light transmittance. Therefore, as a material of the light guide plate, an acrylic resin typified by polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) is used. However, PMMA has high water absorption, and the light guide plate may warp or change its dimension due to water absorption. Further, since pyrolysis is likely to occur during molding, there is a problem that the appearance of a molded article is poor during molding at high temperature. In order to improve these problems, it has been proposed to use a styrene-methyl (meth) acrylate copolymer as a material for a light guide plate (see patent document 1).
On the other hand, although a styrene resin produced from a styrene monomer has excellent low water absorption, it has a problem that a molded product is cloudy due to environmental changes such as temperature and humidity. Specifically, when the molded article is exposed to a room-temperature environment under a high-temperature and high-humidity environment or exposed to a low-temperature environment from the room-temperature environment, moisture uniformly present in the molded article becomes unstable and undergoes phase separation to generate minute defects in the molded article, with the result that white turbidity is generated. In order to solve this problem, a sheet-like molded article made of a styrene resin obtained by copolymerizing a styrene monomer and a small amount of a (meth) acrylate monomer has been proposed (see patent document 2).

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and provides a styrene resin composition for a light guide plate, which satisfies hue, hue stability, extrusion stability, dimensional stability, wet heat whitening resistance, and strength at the same time.

Among them, aliphatic thiols, aromatic thiols, thiocarboxylic acids, and polyfunctional thiols are preferable from the viewpoint of adjusting the sulfur content.
In the continuous polymerization, the styrene resin (a) 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 adjusting the polymerization temperature using a well-known complete mixing tank-type agitation tank, a column-type reactor, or the like, so as to achieve a target molecular weight, molecular weight distribution, reaction conversion rate, or the like.
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.
