Description

Optical film, polarizing plate and liquid crystal display device
Technical Field
The present invention relates to an optical film, a polarizing plate, and a liquid crystal display device, and more particularly, to an optical film capable of suppressing blurring of a panel without reducing adhesion force with an adhesive sheet, a polarizing plate using the optical film, and a liquid crystal display device.
Background
A polarizing plate used in an image display device such as a TV or a smart phone has a protective film attached to both surfaces of a polarizer via an adhesive layer. In addition, when a polarizing plate is bonded to a liquid crystal cell, an adhesive sheet composed of an adhesive composition is widely used. In order to ensure the adhesiveness of the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet, the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet itself needs to contain water, and an acid component such as carboxylic acid is required.
In recent years, when polarizing plates and image display devices are shipped overseas, durability under environments with extreme temperatures and humidity has been demanded. However, when the optical film bonded to the liquid crystal cell via the adhesive sheet has low moisture permeability, there is a problem that moisture in the adhesive sheet is retained at the interface with the optical film due to environmental changes, and a blurred "high-humidity impact" is generated on the panel.
Accordingly, in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, in the technique disclosed in patent document 1, the use of an adhesive sheet containing no acid component such as carboxylic acid provides an adhesive sheet having higher thermal durability and wet heat durability than an adhesive sheet containing an acid component, and the water content of the adhesive sheet can be reduced and high-humidity impact can be prevented.
However, when the adhesive sheet contains no acid component, the adhesive strength of the adhesive sheet is reduced, and it is difficult to attach the polarizing plate.

The optical film of the present invention is an optical film comprising a cycloolefin resin having an ethylene compound at least in a copolymerization component, wherein the optical film has a moisture permeability (40 ℃ C., 95% RH) of 0.1 to 60 g/(m) 2 24 h), the optical film having a roughened surface on one side, wherein the roughened surface has an external haze of 0.02% or more and less than 0.10% on one side.
< roughened surface >
In the present invention, the roughened surface is a surface on one side of an optical film containing a cycloolefin resin (containing an ethylene compound in a copolymer component) as a main component, and is a surface having high single-sided external haze when single-sided external haze is measured. When the film has a laminated structure, the surface of the optical film having the cycloolefin resin (containing an ethylene compound in the copolymerized component) as a main component is a roughened surface of the present patent, and the surface made of another resin is not a roughened surface even when the external haze on one side is high.
The roughened surface may be formed by press molding using a mold, plasma etching, sand blasting, sand paper treatment, casting under high humidity conditions, or the like.
From the standpoint of adjusting the single-sided external haze without increasing the internal haze, the cast film formation using a die, plasma etching, and high humidity conditions is preferable, and the die pressing using a die is most preferable.
In the method of molding with a mold, the single-sided external haze can be adjusted by changing the pressure and the pressing time when forming the roughened surface. Specifically, by extending the pressing time or increasing the pressure, the single-sided external haze value becomes large.
Therefore, in order to make the single-sided external haze of the roughened surface 0.02% or more and less than 0.10%, the pressing time is preferably in the range of 60 to 150 seconds, and the pressure is preferably in the range of 1 to 5 MPa.
In order to adjust the single-sided external haze of the roughened surface within the above range, the pressure and the pressing time of the die-based pressing may be adjusted: and cast film formation under high humidity conditions based on adjustment of electron density by plasma etching. The electron density is preferably, for example, 1×10 10 ~1×10 11 cm -3 Within a range of (2). The high humidity condition of the cast film is preferably in the range of 60 to 90% RH.
< Single-sided external haze >
In the present invention, the single-sided external haze means external haze on the roughened surface side calculated from the total haze, internal haze, and external haze of the non-roughened surface of the optical film by the following formula (1).
Formula (1): single-sided external haze = total haze- (internal haze + external haze of non-roughened side)
Specifically, the measurement was performed according to the following procedure.
(1) The optical film was conditioned at 23℃and 55% RH for 5 hours or more. Then, the total haze 1 of the obtained optical film was measured at a wavelength of 550nm by a haze meter (model NDH4000, manufactured by japan electric color corporation).
(2) Subsequently, glycerol (0.05 ml) was dropped onto the washed slide glass, the wet optical film was bonded to the glycerol so that no air bubbles entered and the roughened surface became the slide glass side, and the obtained laminate was set in the haze meter so that the optical film faced the photodetector, and haze a (external haze of the back surface opposite to the roughened surface) was measured.
(3) Glycerol (0.05 ml) was added dropwise to the optical film side of the obtained laminate, a cover slip was placed thereon, and the obtained laminate was set in the haze meter to measure the internal haze 2.
The haze obtained by the measurement was substituted into the following formula (2), and the single-sided external haze B of the roughened surface was measured.
Formula (2): single-sided external haze b=total haze 1- (internal haze 2 x haze a) of roughened surface
The measurement of the external haze B on one side of the roughened surface was performed 10 times, and the average value was calculated.
In the present invention, the single-sided external haze of the roughened surface is 0.02% or more and less than 0.10%, whereby the adhesion and high-humidity impact of the present invention can be improved.
The expression of the present invention is not clear, but it is considered that: by increasing the single-sided external haze, the surface area of the roughened surface is increased, whereby the absorption of moisture emitted from the adhesive sheet can be improved, and the adhesion to the adhesive sheet can be improved. On the other hand, it can be considered that: if the single-sided external haze is reduced, moisture is retained at the interface of the optical film and the adhesive sheet due to insufficient uneven surface for absorbing water. Therefore, the value of the single-sided external haze of the roughened surface is preferably 0.02 or more and less than 0.10, more preferably 0.02 or more and 0.08 or less, and particularly preferably 0.02 or more and 0.04 or less.
The ratio of the single-sided external haze of the roughened surface to the single-sided external haze of the back surface opposite to the roughened surface is preferably 1.1:1.0 or more and less than 10.0:1.0, from the viewpoint of better adhesion to the adhesive sheet and high blur suppression effect. In particular, the ratio is more preferably 2:1 to 4:1.
The value of the single-sided external haze of the back surface is preferably 0.002 to 0.020, particularly preferably 0.004 to 0.010.
< high Wet impact >
In the present invention, the high humidity impact means a phenomenon in which when the temperature is changed from a high humidity environment (40 ℃ and 95% rh) to an indoor environment (23 ℃ and 55% rh), moisture condensed is not released from the adhesive sheet in the liquid crystal display device to the outside air, but stays at the interface between the optical film having low moisture permeability and the adhesive sheet, and the panel is blurred.
< moisture permeability >
In the present invention, the moisture permeability was measured by placing the film to be measured at a temperature of 40℃and 95% RH for 24 hours according to the calcium chloride cup method described in JIS Z0208.
The optical film of the present invention has a moisture permeability (40 ℃ C., 95% RH) of 0.1 to 60 g/(m) 2 24 h), more preferably 3.90 to 20.0 g/(m) 2 24 h).

1-5 physical Properties of optical films
(phase difference value)
Depending on the application, the optical film may obtain various phase difference values. For example, when the optical film is used as an optical film of a VA-mode or IPS-mode liquid crystal display device, the phase difference Ro in the in-plane direction and the phase difference Rth in the thickness direction measured in an environment where the measurement wavelength of the optical film is 590nm, 23 ℃, and 55% rh can satisfy the following relationship, for example.
0nm≤Ro≤300nm
-200nm≤Rth≤200nm
The retardation Ro in the in-plane direction of the optical film more preferably satisfies 50.ltoreq.Ro.ltoreq.250 nm, and still more preferably satisfies 50 nm.ltoreq.Ro.ltoreq.200 nm.

Ro and Rth of the optical film are defined by the following formulas, respectively.
Formula (2 a): ro= (n) x -n y )×d
Formula (2 b): rth= ((n) x +n y )/2-n z )×d
(wherein nx represents the refractive index in the in-plane slow axis direction of the optical film. N y The refractive index of the optical film in the direction perpendicular to the in-plane slow axis is shown. n is n z The refractive index in the thickness direction of the optical film is shown. d represents the thickness (nm) of the optical film. )
The determination of Ro and Rth of the optical film can be performed by the following method.
(1) The optical film was conditioned at 23℃under 55% RH for 24 hours. The average refractive index of the optical film was measured by an Abbe refractometer, and the thickness d was measured by a commercially available micrometer.
(2) The phase retardation Ro and Rth at 590nm of the measurement wavelength of the optical film after the humidity was measured by using an automatic birefringence meter Axo scanning (AxoScan Mueller Matrix Polarimeter: manufactured by AXOMETRIS Co.) at 23℃and 55% RH, respectively. Specifically, the following is described.
(i) Ro when light having a measurement wavelength of 590nm was incident parallel to the normal direction of the film surface was measured by Axo scanning.
(ii) Further, by Axo scanning, the phase difference R (θ) when light of a measurement wavelength of 590nm was incident at an angle θ (incident angle θ) with respect to the normal line of the surface of the sample piece was measured with the in-plane slow axis of the sample piece as the tilt axis (rotation axis). The phase difference R (θ) was measured at 6 points at 10 ° in the range of 0 ° to 50 °. The in-plane slow axis of the sample piece was confirmed by Axo scan.
(iii) From the measured Ro and R (θ), the average refractive index and thickness, axo scan calculates n x 、n y And n z Rth of a measurement wavelength of 590nm is calculated based on the formula (2 b).

Mu.m, and even more preferably in the range of 15 to 30. Mu.m, although the thickness depends on the range of the Ro and Rth to be obtained.
[ method for producing optical film ]
The optical film of the present invention can be produced by the following steps: 1) A step of preparing a dope containing the cycloolefin resin and a solvent; 2) Casting the obtained dope on a support, and then drying and peeling off the dope to obtain a casting film; 3) Stretching the obtained casting film; and 4) drying the stretched casting film; 5) Cutting both ends of the obtained optical film, and embossing; 6) Forming a roughened surface on the optical film; and 7) a coiling step. Further, the step of forming the adhesive layer is preferably performed as needed.
1) (step of preparing dopant)
The cycloolefin resin is dissolved or dispersed in a solvent to prepare a dope.
The solvent used for the dope contains an organic solvent (good solvent) which can dissolve at least the cycloolefin resin. Examples of good solvents include: chlorine-based organic solvents such as methylene chloride; non-chlorine organic solvents such as methyl acetate, ethyl acetate, acetone, and tetrahydrofuran. Among them, methylene chloride is preferable.
The solvent for the dope may further comprise a poor solvent. Examples of poor solvents include: a linear or branched aliphatic alcohol having 1 to 4 carbon atoms. If the ratio of alcohol in the dopant is high, the film tends to gel and peel off from the metal support. Examples of the linear or branched aliphatic alcohol having 1 to 4 carbon atoms include: methanol, ethanol, n-propanol, isopropanol, n-butanol, sec-butanol, tert-butanol. Among them, ethanol is preferable from the viewpoints of stability of the dopant, low boiling point, good drying property, and the like.
2) (step (casting step)
The resulting dope is cast onto a support. The casting of the dope may be performed by being ejected from a casting die.
The solvent is allowed to evaporate until the dope cast onto the support can be peeled off from the support by the peeling roller. As a method for evaporating the solvent, there may be mentioned: a method of blowing air to the cast dope, a method of conducting heat from the back surface of the support through a liquid, a method of conducting heat from the front and back surfaces through radiant heat, and the like.
Then, the casting film obtained after the solvent evaporation was peeled off by a peeling roller.
The amount of the solvent remaining in the casting film on the support at the time of peeling may be, for example, 50 to 120 mass% although it depends on the drying conditions, the length of the support, and the like. If the cast film is peeled off in a state where the amount of the residual solvent is large, the cast film is too soft, and the flatness is easily impaired at the time of peeling, and wrinkles and vertical streaks are easily generated due to the peeling tension, and therefore, the amount of the residual solvent at the time of peeling is determined in consideration of these points. The residual solvent amount is defined by the following formula.
Residual solvent amount (mass%) = (mass before heat treatment of the casting film-mass after heat treatment of the casting film)/(mass after heat treatment of the casting film) ×100
The heat treatment for measuring the amount of the residual solvent was performed at 115℃for 1 hour.
3) (drawing step)
The cast film peeled from the support is stretched.
The stretching may be performed based on the obtained optical characteristics, and is preferably performed in one or more directions of a width direction (TD direction), a conveyance direction (MD direction), and an oblique direction. For example, in the case of producing an optical film functioning as a λ/4 retardation film, stretching in an oblique direction is preferable.
The stretching ratio also depends on the desired optical properties, and is preferably in the range of 1.05 to 4.0 times, more preferably in the range of 1.5 to 3.0 times, for example, when used as a lambda/4 retardation film.
The draw ratio (times) is defined as the draw direction dimension of the film after drawing/the draw direction dimension of the film before drawing. In the case of biaxial stretching, the stretching ratios in the TD direction and the MD direction are preferably set to be the above stretching ratios.
The stretching temperature (drying temperature during stretching) is preferably (tg+2) to (tg+50) c, more preferably (tg+5) to (tg+30) c, when the glass transition temperature of the cycloolefin resin is Tg, as described above. If the stretching temperature is (Tg+2) DEG C or higher, the solvent is easily volatilized moderately, so that the stretching tension is easily adjusted to an appropriate range, and if it is (Tg+50) DEG C or lower, the solvent is not volatilized too much, so that the stretchability is not easily damaged. The stretching temperature is preferably the same as described above, and the atmosphere temperature such as the internal temperature of the stretching machine (a) is preferably measured.
The amount of the residual solvent in the film at the start of stretching is preferably in the same range as the amount of the residual solvent in the film at the time of peeling, for example, 20 to 30 mass%, more preferably 25 to 30 mass%.
Stretching of the film in the TD direction (width direction) can be performed by, for example, a method (tenter method) in which both ends of the film are fixed with clips and pins, and the distance between the clips and pins is widened in the traveling direction. Stretching of the film in the MD direction can be performed, for example, by a method (roll method) in which a circumferential speed difference is applied to a plurality of rolls, and the roll circumferential speed difference is used therebetween. In particular, in order to improve the flatness and dimensional stability of the film, a tenter system is preferred in which both end portions of the cast film are sandwiched by clips or the like and stretched. It is preferable to stretch in a direction obliquely crossing with respect to the MD direction and the TD direction by stretching the cast film in both directions (oblique stretching).
4) (drying step)
The stretched casting film is further dried to obtain an optical film.
The drying of the casting film may be performed, for example, while the casting film is being conveyed by a plurality of conveying rollers (for example, a plurality of conveying rollers arranged in a staggered manner as seen from the side). The drying means is not particularly limited, and hot air, infrared rays, heated rolls, or microwaves may be used. From the viewpoint of simplicity, hot air drying is preferable.
5) (step (shearing and embossing Process)
The two ends of the obtained optical film in the width direction were cut. The shearing of the two ends of the optical film may be performed by a slitter.
Then, embossing (knurling) is performed on both ends of the optical film in the width direction. Embossing may be performed by pressing heated embossing rolls to both ends of the optical film. Fine irregularities are formed on the surface of the embossing roller, and by pressing the embossing roller against both end portions of the optical film, irregularities are formed on both end portions. By such embossing, winding deviation and sticking (sticking of films) in the subsequent winding process can be suppressed as much as possible.
6) (roughened surface Forming step)
A roughened surface is formed on the sheared optical film. The roughened surface can be formed by molding using a mold, plasma etching, sand blasting, sand paper treatment, casting under high humidity conditions, or the like, and molding using a mold is most preferred.
In the method of molding with a mold, a roll-shaped mold is rotated, an optical film is made to travel in a rotation direction along an outer peripheral surface of the mold at a given pressure and time, and then the optical film is peeled from the mold, thereby forming a roughened surface.
Here, the single-sided external haze can be adjusted by changing the pressure and the pressing time by the mold, and the single-sided external haze value can be increased by extending the pressing time or increasing the pressure.
7) (step (winding step)
Then, the obtained optical film was wound to obtain a wound body.
That is, the optical film is wound around the winding core while being conveyed, thereby forming a roll. The winding method of the optical film may be any method using a winding machine that is generally used, and examples thereof include a constant torque method, a constant tension method, a taper tension method, a program tension control method in which internal stress is constant, and the like.
The winding length of the optical film in the winding body is preferably in the range of 1000 to 7200 m. The width of the optical film is preferably in the range of 1000 to 3000 mm.
(step of Forming an adhesive layer)
Further, if necessary, it is preferable to form an adhesive layer on the surface of the optical film opposite to the roughened surface.
Specifically, the easy-to-adhere layer may be formed by applying a discharge treatment to the surface on which the easy-to-adhere layer is formed, and applying a resin material to the surface on the side on which the discharge treatment is applied, after the step (casting step) of 2) and before the step (stretching step) of 3) (that is, before the casting film peeled from the support is stretched).
Examples of the resin material include an acrylic resin, a vinyl resin, a urethane resin, and a polyester resin, and a urethane resin is preferable.
The resin material is preferably coated as a liquid aqueous resin composition by mixing an acrylic resin, a urethane resin, an epoxy compound, adipic acid dihydrazide, or the like with water.

(Water content)
In the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet, the water content is preferably small in order to suppress the occurrence of high-humidity impact, and if the water content is small, poor adhesion is caused, so that a small amount of water is preferable in the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet. Therefore, the water content of the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet is preferably in the range of 3.0 to 10.0%, and particularly preferably in the range of 3.5 to 5.5%.
The water content of the adhesive sheet can be obtained by: an adhesive layer was formed on a polyester film having a thickness of 50. Mu.m, cut to 60 mm.
