Description

Polarizing film, laminated polarizing film, image display panel, and image display device
The present application is a divisional application of applications entitled "polarizing film, laminated polarizing film, image display panel, and image display device" with an application date of 2019, 11/12/2019 and an application number of 201980063372. X.
Technical Field
The invention relates to a polarizing film, a laminated polarizing film, an image display panel, and an image display device.
Background
Conventionally, as a polarizing film used for various image display devices such as a liquid crystal display device and an organic EL display device, a polyvinyl alcohol-based film (containing a dichroic material such as iodine or a dichroic dye) subjected to dyeing treatment has been used in order to achieve both high transmittance and high polarization degree. The polarizing film was produced as follows: the polyvinyl alcohol film is subjected to various treatments such as swelling, dyeing, crosslinking, stretching, and the like in a bath, and then subjected to a cleaning treatment, followed by drying. The polarizing film is generally used in the form of a polarizing film (polarizing plate) in which a protective film such as triacetylcellulose is bonded to one surface or both surfaces thereof with an adhesive.
The polarizing film is used in the form of a laminated polarizing film (optical laminate) in which other optical layers are laminated as necessary, and the polarizing film or the laminated polarizing film (optical laminate) is used in the form of a laminated polarizing film (optical laminate) which is bonded between an image display unit such as a liquid crystal cell or an organic EL element and a front surface transparent plate (window layer) on the viewing side and a front surface transparent member such as a touch panel via an adhesive layer or an adhesive layer to produce the various image display devices described above (patent document 1).
In recent years, such various image display devices have been used as in-vehicle image display devices such as car navigation devices and rear view monitors in addition to mobile devices such as mobile phones and tablet terminals, and their applications have been widened. Accordingly, the image display device is required to have higher durability in a more severe environment (for example, a high-temperature environment) than the conventional one, and an image display device for securing such durability has been proposed (patent document 2).

Disclosure of Invention
Problems to be solved by the invention
When a polarizing film or a laminated polarizing film using an iodine-based polarizing film is exposed to a high-temperature environment, polyvinyl alcohol constituting the polarizing film is polyene-formed by a dehydration reaction, and the polarizing film is colored, resulting in a problem that the monomer transmittance thereof is lowered.
As a result of intensive studies, the present inventors have found that iodine contained in an iodine-based polarizing film promotes polyalkylenation in a high-temperature environment. Thus, in order to suppress a decrease in the monomer transmittance due to coloring of the polarizing film in a high-temperature environment, it is effective to reduce the iodine concentration (content) in the polarizing film, but it is difficult to obtain a polarizing film having a good degree of polarization.
In view of the above circumstances, an object of the present invention is to provide a polarizing film having a low iodine concentration, which has a good initial polarization degree and is excellent in the effect of suppressing the decrease in the monomer transmittance due to the coloring of the polarizing film in a high-temperature environment.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a polarizing film, a laminated polarizing film, an image display panel, and an image display device using the above polarizing film.
Means for solving the problems
That is, the present invention relates to a polarizing film formed by adsorbing iodine to a polyvinyl alcohol-based film and orienting the film, wherein the iodine concentration is 2% by weight or more and 10% by weight or less, and wherein in a generated gas analysis method, the polarizing film has a peak temperature of maximum strength of water detected in the presence of an inert gas under conditions of a temperature rise rate of 10 ℃/min and a temperature rise range of 40 ℃ to 350 ℃ of 210 ℃ or more.
The present invention also relates to a polarizing film having a transparent protective film laminated on at least one surface of the polarizing film.
The present invention also relates to a laminated polarizing film, wherein the polarizing film is bonded to an optical layer.
The present invention also relates to an image display panel, wherein 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 front transparent member on the polarizing film or laminated polarizing film side of the image display panel.
ADVANTAGEOUS EFFECTS OF INVENTION
The details of the mechanism of action of the effect of the polarizing film of the present invention are not clear, but are presumed as follows. However, the present invention can be explained without being limited to this mechanism of action.
The polarizing film of the present invention is an iodine-based polarizing film formed by adsorbing iodine to a polyvinyl alcohol-based film and orienting the film, wherein the iodine concentration is 2 to 10 wt%, and the peak temperature of the maximum strength of water detected in the presence of an inert gas under the conditions of a temperature rise rate of 10 ℃/min and a temperature rise range of 40 to 350 ℃ is 210 ℃ or higher in a generated gas analysis method. As described above, although the iodine-based polarizing film undergoes polyalkylenation due to the dehydration reaction of polyvinyl alcohol in a high temperature environment, the polarizing film of the present invention can suppress a decrease in the monomer transmittance due to coloring of the polarizing film in a high temperature environment by setting the temperature at which the dehydration reaction occurs to a high temperature side, that is, setting the peak temperature of the maximum intensity of water detected (observed) by a generated gas analysis method to 210 ℃. Further, in the polarizing film of the present invention, by setting the iodine concentration in the polarizing film to a certain range, the peak temperature of the maximum intensity of water detected (observed) by a generated gas analysis method can be controlled to 210 ℃ or more, and the initial degree of polarization can be made good.
In particular, in recent years, an image display method of projecting an image on a windshield of a vehicle, which is called a head-up display (HUD), has been put into practical use. In these image display methods, a common method is to use a small-sized liquid crystal display device or the like, and enlarge an image from the liquid crystal display device with a magnifier and project the enlarged image onto a windshield. In such a method, in order to condense sunlight as external light to the liquid crystal display device, a general in-vehicle image display device is required to have higher heat resistance, and high temperature durability of 110 ℃. Thus, the polarizing film of the present invention is useful because it can suppress the decrease in the monomer transmittance due to the coloring of the polarizing film in a high-temperature environment (for example, a heating durability test at 110 ℃x500 hours).
On the other hand, the present inventors exposed a polarizing film formed by adsorbing iodine to an iodine-containing polyvinyl alcohol film and orienting the film to a high-temperature environment for a certain period of time, and observed that radicals were generated from the polarizing film. Since the time for coloring the polarizing film by the polyalkylenation is very similar to the time for generating the radical, a phenomenon in which the radical is generated by the progress of the polyene formation of the polarizing film is suggested. Therefore, in order to set the temperature of the polarizing film at which the above-described dehydration reaction occurs to a high temperature side, that is, to set the peak temperature of the maximum intensity of water detected (observed) by a generated gas analysis method to 210 ℃ or higher, it is preferable that the polarizing film contains a compound having a radical trapping function.

Detailed Description
< polarizing film >
The polarizing film of the present invention is an iodine-based polarizing film formed by adsorbing iodine to a polyvinyl alcohol-based film and orienting the film, wherein the iodine concentration is 2 to 10 wt%, and the peak temperature of the maximum strength of water detected in the presence of an inert gas under the conditions of a temperature rise rate of 10 ℃/min and a temperature rise range of 40 to 350 ℃ is 210 ℃ or higher in a generated gas analysis method.
The polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) film may be one having a light-transmitting property in a visible light region and obtained by dispersing and adsorbing iodine, without any particular limitation. The PVA film used in the form of a film roll generally has a thickness of about 1 to 100. Mu.m, more preferably about 1 to 50 μm, and a width of about 100 to 5000 mm.
Examples of the material of the polyvinyl alcohol film include polyvinyl alcohol and derivatives thereof. Examples of the derivative of the polyvinyl alcohol include: polyvinyl formal, polyvinyl acetal; olefins such as ethylene and propylene; and derivatives obtained by modification with unsaturated carboxylic acids such as acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, crotonic acid, and alkyl esters thereof, acrylamide, and the like. The polyvinyl alcohol preferably has an average polymerization degree of about 100 to 10000, more preferably about 1000 to 10000, and further preferably about 1500 to 4500. The saponification degree of the polyvinyl alcohol is preferably about 80 to 100 mol%, more preferably about 95 to 99.95 mol%. The average polymerization degree and the saponification degree can be determined according to JIS K6726.
The polyvinyl alcohol film may contain additives such as a plasticizer and a surfactant. Examples of the plasticizer include: polyhydric alcohols such as glycerin, diglycerin, triglycerol, ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, and polyethylene glycol, and condensates thereof. The amount of the above-mentioned additive is not particularly limited, and is preferably about 20% by weight or less in the polyvinyl alcohol film, for example.
The iodine concentration (content) of the polarizing film is 2 wt% or more and 10 wt% or less from the viewpoint of making the initial degree of polarization of the polarizing film good and controlling the peak temperature of the maximum intensity of water detected by a generated gas analysis method to 210 ℃ or more. The iodine concentration (content) of the polarizing film is preferably 2.5 wt% or more, more preferably 3 wt% or more from the viewpoint of increasing the initial degree of polarization of the polarizing film, and is preferably 8 wt% or less, more preferably 6 wt% or less from the viewpoint of controlling the peak temperature of the maximum intensity of water detected by a generated gas analysis method to 210 ℃.
In the generated gas analysis method, the polarizing film exhibits a peak temperature of the maximum intensity of water detected in the presence of an inert gas under conditions of a temperature rise rate of 10 ℃/min and a temperature rise range of 40 ℃ to 350 ℃ of 210 ℃ or higher. In the above polarizing film, by setting the temperature at which the dehydration reaction of polyvinyl alcohol occurs to the high temperature side, that is, by setting the peak temperature of the maximum intensity of water detected by the generated gas analysis method to 210 ℃ or higher, it is possible to suppress the decrease in the monomer transmittance due to the coloring of the polarizing film in a high temperature environment. On the other hand, when the peak temperature of the maximum intensity of water is lower than 210 ℃, it is difficult to control the change amount of the monomer transmittance of the polarizing film before and after the heating durability test (110 ℃. Times.500 hours), which is regarded as an index of heat resistance, to 0% or more and 5% or less in the vehicle-mounted special use such as the head-up display (HUD) described above.
Fig. 1 is an example of a graph showing the peak of water detected by the generated gas analysis method, and the peak temperature of the maximum intensity of the detected water is 210 ℃.
The generated gas analysis method is an analysis method in which a gas chromatograph and a mass spectrometer are directly connected to each other by an inert metal capillary or the like, and a gas generated when a sample is heated by heating is monitored in real time, and is generally called an EGA/MS method, an EGA/TOFMS method, or the like.

< method for producing polarizing film >
The method for producing a polarizing film includes: the polarizing film is obtained by subjecting the polyvinyl alcohol-based film to at least a dyeing step, a crosslinking step, and a stretching step, optionally followed by a swelling step and a washing step. The content of the iodine contained in the polarizing film can be controlled by the concentration of the iodine, the iodide such as potassium iodide, or the like contained in any one of the treatment baths in the swelling step, the dyeing step, the crosslinking step, the stretching step, and the washing step, the treatment temperature and the treatment time in each of the treatment baths.
In the case of producing a polarizing film containing the compound having a radical trapping function, the compound having a radical trapping function may be contained in one or more treatment baths selected from the swelling step, the washing step, the dyeing step, the crosslinking step, and the stretching step. The concentration of the compound having a radical trapping function contained in any of the treatment baths is affected by the number of treatments, the treatment time, the treatment temperature, and the like of each treatment, and therefore cannot be determined in a general manner, and is preferably 0.01 wt% or more, more preferably 0.05 wt% or more, further preferably 0.1 wt% or more, and preferably 30 wt% or less, more preferably 25 wt% or less, and further preferably 20 wt% or less, from the viewpoint of efficiently controlling the content of the compound having a radical trapping function in the polarizing film.
In particular, when the washing step is performed after the dyeing step, the crosslinking step, and the stretching step are performed, the content of the iodine or the compound having a radical trapping function can be easily adjusted to a desired range in the washing step, in consideration of the treatment conditions in the dyeing step, the crosslinking step, and the stretching step, and in view of allowing components such as iodine or the compound having a radical trapping function to be eluted from or adsorbed to the polyvinyl alcohol film.
In addition, additives such as zinc salt, pH adjuster, pH buffer, and other salts may be contained in each treatment bath in the swelling step, the dyeing step, the crosslinking step, the stretching step, and the washing step. Examples of the zinc salt include: zinc halides such as zinc chloride and zinc iodide; inorganic zinc salts such as zinc sulfate and zinc acetate. Examples of the pH adjuster include: strong acids such as hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid and nitric acid, and strong bases such as sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide. Examples of the pH buffer include: carboxylic acids such as acetic acid, oxalic acid and citric acid and salts thereof, and inorganic weak acids such as phosphoric acid and carbonic acid and salts thereof. Examples of the other salts include: chlorides such as sodium chloride, potassium chloride, and barium chloride, nitrates such as sodium nitrate and potassium nitrate, sulfates such as sodium sulfate and potassium sulfate, and salts of alkali metals and alkaline earth metals.
The swelling step is a treatment step of immersing the polyvinyl alcohol-based film in a swelling bath, and can remove dirt, an anti-blocking agent, and the like on the surface of the polyvinyl alcohol-based film, and can suppress uneven dyeing by swelling the polyvinyl alcohol-based film. The swelling bath generally uses a medium containing water as a main component, such as water, distilled water, or pure water.

In particular, in order to obtain a polarizing film having high optical characteristics, a two-stage stretching method in which an auxiliary stretching treatment (dry stretching) in a gas atmosphere and a stretching treatment in an aqueous solution in an aqueous boric acid solution are combined is selected.
As a method for producing the laminate, any suitable method can be adopted, and examples thereof include: a method of applying a coating solution containing the PVA-based resin on the surface of the thermoplastic resin substrate and drying the coating solution. The thickness of the thermoplastic resin substrate is preferably about 20 to 300. Mu.m, and more preferably about 50 to 200. Mu.m.

The water absorption is a value determined in accordance with JIS K7209.
The glass transition temperature (Tg) of the thermoplastic resin substrate is preferably about 120 ℃ or lower from the viewpoint of suppressing crystallization of the PVA-based resin layer and sufficiently ensuring stretchability of the laminate. In view of plasticization of the thermoplastic resin substrate with water and favorable stretching in an aqueous solution, the glass transition temperature (Tg) is preferably about 100 ℃ or lower, and more preferably about 90 ℃ or lower. On the other hand, the glass transition temperature of the thermoplastic resin substrate is preferably about 60 ℃ or higher from the viewpoint of preventing a defect such as deformation of the thermoplastic resin substrate when the coating liquid is applied and dried and producing a good laminate.

The glass transition temperature (Tg) is a value determined in accordance with JIS K7121.
As the constituent material of the thermoplastic resin substrate, any suitable thermoplastic resin can be used. Examples of the thermoplastic resin include: ester resins such as polyethylene terephthalate resins, cycloolefin resins such as norbornene resins, olefin resins such as polypropylene resins, polyamide resins, polycarbonate resins, and copolymer resins thereof. Among these, norbornene-based resins and amorphous (non-crystalline) polyethylene terephthalate-based resins are preferable, and amorphous (non-crystalline) polyethylene terephthalate-based resins are preferably used from the viewpoint that the thermoplastic resin substrate is very excellent in stretchability and can be inhibited from crystallizing during stretching. Examples of the amorphous (noncrystalline) polyethylene terephthalate resin include a copolymer containing isophthalic acid and/or cyclohexanedicarboxylic acid as dicarboxylic acid, and a copolymer containing cyclohexanedimethanol and diethylene glycol as diol.
The thermoplastic resin substrate may be subjected to a surface treatment (e.g., corona treatment) before the PVA-based resin layer is formed, or an easy-adhesion layer may be formed on the thermoplastic resin substrate. By performing such treatment, the adhesion between the thermoplastic resin substrate and the PVA-based resin layer can be improved. The thermoplastic resin substrate may be stretched before the PVA-based resin layer is formed.
The coating liquid is a solution obtained by dissolving a PVA-based resin in a solvent. Examples of the solvent include: water, dimethyl sulfoxide, dimethylformamide, dimethylacetamide, N-methylpyrrolidone, various glycols, polyhydric alcohols such as trimethylolpropane, and amines such as ethylenediamine and diethylenetriamine, and water is preferred. These solvents may be used alone, or two or more kinds may be used in combination. The PVA-based resin concentration of the coating liquid is preferably about 3 to 20 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of the solvent, from the viewpoint of forming a uniform coating film which adheres to the thermoplastic resin substrate.

The drying temperature of the coating liquid is preferably about 50 ℃.
In the auxiliary stretching treatment in the gas atmosphere, the laminate may be stretched at a high stretch ratio so that the thermoplastic resin substrate can be stretched while crystallization thereof is suppressed. The stretching method for assisting the stretching treatment in the gas atmosphere may be fixed-end stretching (for example, a method of stretching using a tenter) or free-end stretching (for example, a method of uniaxially stretching the laminate by passing the laminate between rolls having different peripheral speeds), and from the viewpoint of obtaining high optical properties, free-end stretching is preferable.
The stretching ratio in the auxiliary stretching in the gas atmosphere is preferably about 2 to 3.5 times. The auxiliary stretching in the gas atmosphere may be performed in one stage or in multiple stages.

On the other hand, the upper limit of the stretching temperature is preferably about 170 ℃ from the viewpoint of suppressing rapid progress of crystallization of the PVA type resin and suppressing defects caused by crystallization (for example, inhibiting orientation of the PVA type resin layer by stretching).
If necessary, after the stretching treatment in the gas atmosphere and before the stretching treatment in the aqueous solution, an insolubilization treatment may be performed. The insolubilization is typically performed by immersing the PVA-based resin layer in an aqueous boric acid solution.

If necessary, the crosslinking treatment may be performed after the dyeing treatment and before the stretching treatment in an aqueous solution. The crosslinking treatment is typically performed by immersing the PVA-based resin layer in an aqueous boric acid solution. By performing the crosslinking treatment, water resistance can be imparted to the PVA-based resin layer, and the orientation of the PVA can be prevented from being lowered when the PVA is immersed in high-temperature water during subsequent stretching in an aqueous solution. The boric acid concentration of the aqueous boric acid solution is preferably about 1 to 5 parts by weight relative to 100 parts by weight of water. In addition, when the crosslinking treatment is performed, it is preferable to further add the iodide to a crosslinking bath in the crosslinking treatment. The iodine compound can suppress elution of iodine adsorbed on the PVA-based resin layer. The amount of the iodide is preferably about 1 to 5 parts by weight relative to 100 parts by weight of water. The liquid temperature of the crosslinking bath (boric acid aqueous solution) is preferably about 20 to 50 ℃.
The stretching treatment in the aqueous solution is performed by immersing the laminate in a stretching bath. The stretching treatment in an aqueous solution allows stretching at a temperature lower than the glass transition temperature (typically, about 80 ℃) of the thermoplastic resin substrate or the PVA type resin layer, and allows stretching at a high magnification while suppressing crystallization of the PVA type resin layer. The stretching method in the aqueous solution stretching treatment may be fixed-end stretching (for example, a method of stretching using a tenter) or free-end stretching (for example, a method of uniaxially stretching a laminate by passing the laminate between rolls having different peripheral speeds), and from the viewpoint of obtaining high optical characteristics, free-end stretching is preferable.
The stretching treatment in an aqueous solution is preferably performed by immersing the laminate in an aqueous boric acid solution (stretching in an aqueous boric acid solution). By using an aqueous boric acid solution as the stretching bath, the PVA-based resin layer can be imparted with rigidity capable of withstanding the tension applied during stretching and water resistance insoluble in water. The boric acid concentration of the aqueous boric acid solution is preferably 1 to 10 parts by weight, more preferably 2.5 to 6 parts by weight, relative to 100 parts by weight of water. In addition, an iodide may be added to the stretching bath (boric acid aqueous solution). The liquid temperature of the stretching bath is preferably about 40 to 85 ℃, more preferably about 60 to 75 ℃. The immersion time of the laminate in the stretching bath is preferably about 15 seconds to 5 minutes.

The total stretch ratio of the laminate is preferably about 5 times or more, and more preferably about 5.5 times or more, with respect to the original length of the laminate.
The drying shrinkage treatment may be performed by heating the entire area to perform area heating, or may be performed by heating a transport roller (using a so-called heating roller), and both of them are preferably used. By drying with a hot roller, the laminate can be efficiently inhibited from curling by heating, and a polarizing film having excellent appearance can be produced. In addition, the shrinkage ratio in the width direction of the laminate body by the drying and shrinking treatment is preferably about 1 to 10%, more preferably about 2 to 8%, from the viewpoint of improving the optical characteristics of the obtained polarizing film by shrinking in the width direction during the drying and shrinking treatment.
The drying conditions can be controlled by adjusting the heating temperature of the transport roller (temperature of the heating roller), the number of heating rollers, the contact time with the heating roller, and the like. The temperature of the heating roller is preferably about 60 to 120 ℃, more preferably about 65 to 100 ℃, and still more preferably 70 to 80 ℃. The number of the conveying rollers is usually about 2 to 40, preferably about 4 to 30, from the viewpoint of increasing the crystallinity of the thermoplastic resin and suppressing the curling satisfactorily. The contact time (total contact time) between the laminate and the heating roller is preferably about 1 to 300 seconds, more preferably 1 to 20 seconds, and still more preferably 1 to 10 seconds.
The heating roller may be installed in a heating furnace, or may be installed in a general manufacturing line (room temperature environment), and is preferably installed in a heating furnace provided with an air blowing mechanism. By using drying with a heating roller and hot air drying in combination, a rapid temperature change between the heating rollers can be suppressed, and shrinkage in the width direction can be easily controlled. The temperature of the hot air drying is preferably about 30 to 100 ℃. The hot air drying time is preferably about 1 to 300 seconds.
It is preferable to perform the washing treatment after the stretching treatment in the aqueous solution and before the drying shrinkage treatment. The cleaning treatment is typically performed by immersing the PVA-based resin layer in an aqueous potassium iodide solution.
In the case of producing a thin polarizing film containing the compound having a radical trapping function, the compound having a radical trapping function may be contained in a treatment bath of at least one of dyeing treatment, stretching treatment in an aqueous solution, insolubilization treatment, crosslinking treatment, and washing treatment. The concentration of the compound having a radical trapping function contained in any of the treatment baths is not generally determined because it is affected by the number of treatments, treatment time, treatment temperature, and the like in each treatment, and is preferably 0.01 wt% or more, more preferably 0.05 wt% or more, and still more preferably 0.1 wt% or more, and is preferably 30 wt% or less, more preferably 25 wt% or less, and still more preferably 20 wt% or less, from the viewpoint of efficiently controlling the content of the compound having a radical trapping function in the polarizing film.
In particular, when the washing treatment is performed, the contents of the iodine and the compound having a radical trapping function can be easily adjusted to a desired range in view of allowing components such as iodine and the compound having a radical trapping function to be eluted from or adsorbed to the polyvinyl alcohol-based film in consideration of the treatment conditions in the dyeing treatment, the stretching treatment in an aqueous solution, and the like in the washing treatment.
