Description

Polarizing film, image display device, and method for manufacturing polarizing film
Technical Field
The invention relates to a polarizing film, an image display device and a method for manufacturing the polarizing film.
Background
Image display devices such as liquid crystal display devices and organic EL display devices are provided with polarizing films for reasons such as display principles. The polarizing film is, for example, a laminate including a polarizing plate and a protective film. The polarizing plate can be generally produced by adsorbing a dichroic dye to a hydrophilic polymer film such as a polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) film, and uniaxially stretching the film. Iodine is widely used as a dichroic dye from the viewpoint of improving the transmittance and polarization degree of a polarizing plate.
Patent document 1 discloses attaching a protective film to a polarizing plate using an adhesive containing an epoxy compound. Specifically, in patent document 1, the polarizer and the protective film are bonded by curing the coating layer in a state where the polarizer and the protective film are overlapped with each other via the coating layer of the adhesive.

Disclosure of Invention
Problems to be solved by the invention
In a high-temperature and high-humidity environment, iodine contained in the polarizing plate tends to move from the polarizing plate to the protective film or the adhesive layer for bonding the polarizing film to the image display panel. Particularly, when the thickness of the polarizer is small and the concentration of iodine in the polarizer is high, iodine tends to move from the polarizer to the protective film or the adhesive layer. The iodine moving to the protective film or the adhesive layer passes through the protective film or the adhesive layer to permeate to the outside of the polarizing film. When the iodine content in the polarizing plate is reduced, the degree of polarization of the polarizing film is reduced. In the conventional polarizing film, the permeation of iodine contained in the polarizing plate to the outside of the polarizing film cannot be sufficiently suppressed under a high-temperature and high-humidity environment.
Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a polarizing film suitable for sufficiently suppressing the permeation of iodine contained in a polarizing plate to the outside in a high-temperature and high-humidity environment.

(Embodiment of polarizing film)
As shown in fig. 1, the polarizing film 10 of the present embodiment includes an iodine-containing polarizing plate 1 and a resin layer 2 containing a polymer P. The polymer P contained in the resin layer 2 has at least 1 selected from the group consisting of a structural unit U1 from a compound A1 containing an epoxy group and a structural unit U2 from a compound A2 containing an oxetanyl group. The resin layer 2 is located on the viewing side of the polarizer 1, for example, and is in direct contact with the polarizer 1. However, other layers such as an adhesive layer and an easy-to-adhere layer may be disposed between the resin layer 2 and the polarizing plate 1 within a range that does not hinder the effects of the present invention. The resin layer 2 may be located on the image display panel side described later with respect to the polarizing plate 1. In other words, the polarizing plate 1 may be positioned on the viewing side of the resin layer 2. The resin layer 2 is located, for example, at the outermost side of the polarizing film 10. In the present specification, the term "film" means a member having a sufficiently small thickness compared to the length and width.
The polarizing film 10 may further include an adhesive layer 3, a protective film 4, and an adhesive layer 5. The protective film 4 is bonded to the polarizer 1 via the adhesive layer 3, for example. The pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 5 functions as a member for bonding the polarizing film 10 to an image display panel described later, for example. Therefore, the adhesive layer 5 is located, for example, on the outermost side of the polarizing film 10 and on the image display panel side of the polarizing plate 1. In other words, the polarizing plate 1 is located on the visual side of the adhesive layer 5, for example. The resin layer 2, the polarizing plate 1, the adhesive layer 3, the protective film 4, and the adhesive layer 5 are arranged in this order in the lamination direction, for example.
In the polarizing film 10 of the present embodiment, the value of y calculated by the following formula (1) is less than 4.00.
y=(-3.71)x1+(-3.94)x2+(0.299)x3+(0.226)x4+(-1.05)x5+(0.517)x6+(0.769)x7+71.81 (1)
In the formula (1), x 1 is a dispersion term δD of hansen solubility parameters of the monomer M for forming the polymer P (MPa 1 /2).x1 may be an index for predicting interaction between the polymer P and water molecules or iodine), hansen solubility parameters are parameters obtained by dividing the solubility parameters introduced by Hildebrand into 3 components of a dispersion term δD, a polarity term δP and a hydrogen bond term δH, the dispersion term δD represents energy generated by intermolecular dispersion force, details of hansen solubility parameters are disclosed in "Hansen Solubility Parameters; A Users Handbook (CRC Press, 2007)", the dispersion term δD may be calculated using known software such as HSPIP (version 5), and it is required to be explained that the value of the dispersion term δD is slightly different depending on the software used, but the error is usually a negligible degree in calculating the value of y.
In the case where the polymer P is formed from a plurality of monomers M, the value of x 1 can be determined by the following method. First, dispersion term δd (MPa 1/2) in hansen solubility parameter was calculated for each of the plurality of monomers M. The calculated dispersion term δd is weighted by the molar ratio of each monomer M and weighted average is performed. The resulting weighted average can be considered as x 1. In the present embodiment, the value of x 1 is not particularly limited, and is, for example, 15 to 20 (MPa 1/2), preferably 16.4 to 18.9 (MPa 1/2).
X 2 is the x component (debye) of the dipole moment of the monomers M used to form the polymer P. x 2 can be an index for predicting the interaction generated between the polymer P and water molecules, i.e., an index for predicting the degree of hydrophobicity, humidification durability of the polymer P. The closer the value of x 2 is to 0, the smaller the dipole moment of the monomer M, and the more hydrophobic the polymer P tends to be.
X 2 can be determined, for example, by the following method. First, the monomer M for forming the polymer P is determined. By molecular modeling the monomer M, the x component of the dipole moment can be calculated. Molecular modeling can be performed using known software such as MATERIALS STUDIO (manufactured by BIOVIA, ver.8.0.0.843) and WebMO (ver.19.0.009 e).
The calculation of the x component in the dipole moment D by molecular simulation can be performed, for example, by the following method. First, a molecular model of the monomer M was made using MATERIALS STUDIO. For the molecular model, the structure was optimized using the force field of the Condensed-phase Optimized MolecularPotentials for Atomistic Simulation Studies (Condensed-phase optimized molecular potential for atomic simulation studies) II. Next, the molecular model of monomer M is treated with WebMO. In detail, in WebMO, a structural optimization calculation was performed on the molecular model of monomer M using a Gaussian program (Queue: g 09). In this case, B3LYP may be used as the generalized function, or 6-31G (d) may be used as the basis function. From this, the x component of the dipole moment D of the monomer M can be calculated. In the molecular simulation, the internal coordinates of each atom constituting the monomer M are defined by the Z-matrix form. With the Z-matrix form, the x, y and Z axes for determining the internal coordinates are automatically determined according to the structure of the monomer M.
When the polymer P is formed from a plurality of monomers M, x 2 can be determined by the following method. First, for each of the plurality of monomers M, the x component in the dipole moment is calculated by the above-described method. The x component in the calculated dipole moment is weighted by the molar ratio of each monomer M and weighted average is performed. The resulting weighted average can be considered as x 2. In the case where the plurality of monomers M are structural isomers, x 2 may be determined by weighting and averaging the x component in the calculated dipole moment by the molar ratio of each structural isomer. In the present embodiment, the value of x 2 is not particularly limited, and is, for example, -1.0 to 1.0 debye.
X 3 is the interaction energy ΔE (kcal/mol) of the monomer M for forming the polymer P with water molecules. x 3 may be an index for predicting the interaction generated between the polymer P and water molecules, i.e., an index for predicting the degree of hydrophobicity, humidification durability of the polymer P.
X 3 can be determined, for example, by the following method. First, the monomer M for forming the polymer P is determined. According to the method described above for x 2, a molecular model of monomer M is built and a structural optimization calculation is performed on the molecular model. From this, the potential E M (kcal/mol) of the monomer M per 1 molecule was calculated. Then, a molecular model of water molecules was prepared by the same method, and the structure optimization calculation was performed on the molecular model. From this, the potential E H2O (kcal/mol) of water molecules per 1 molecule was calculated. Further, a molecular model containing 1 molecular monomer M and 1 molecular water molecule was prepared by the same method. In this molecular model, water molecules are disposed in the vicinity of hydrogen bond acceptors contained in the monomer M. For this molecular model, by performing structure optimization calculation, the potential energy E M+H2O (kcal/mol) of the complex of the monomer M and water molecules was calculated. From the calculated potential energy, x 3 can be determined by the following equation.
x3(ΔE)=EM+H2O-(EM+EH2O)
The hydrogen bond acceptor means an atom capable of forming a hydrogen bond with a hydrogen atom contained in a water molecule. Examples of the hydrogen bond acceptor include atoms having relatively large electronegativity such as an oxygen atom and a nitrogen atom. In the case where monomer M contains multiple hydrogen bond acceptors, potential E M+H2O can be determined by the following method. First, a plurality of molecular models containing 1 molecular monomer M and 1 molecular water molecule are prepared. The number of molecular models corresponds to the number of hydrogen bond acceptors contained in 1 molecule of monomer M. In a plurality of molecular models, hydrogen bond acceptors in which water molecules are arranged in the vicinity are different from each other. Next, potential energy is calculated by performing structural optimization calculation on each of the plurality of molecular models. The average of the calculated values can be regarded as potential energy E M+H2O.
In the case where the polymer P is formed from a plurality of monomers M, x 3 can be determined by the following method. First, the interaction energy Δe with water molecules was calculated for each of the plurality of monomers M. The calculated interaction energy Δe is weighted by the molar ratio of each monomer M and weighted average is performed. The resulting weighted average can be considered as x3. In the present embodiment, the value of x3 is not particularly limited, and is, for example, -20 to 10kcal/mol.
X4 is the usual logarithmic value log of the solubility S (g/100 g) of the monomers M for forming the polymer P in water at 25 ℃. x4 may be an index for predicting the solubility of the polymer P in water, i.e., an index for predicting the degree of hydrophobicity and humidification durability of the polymer P. The solubility S refers in detail to the maximum value of the weight (g) of the monomer M which can be dissolved in 100g of water at 25 ℃.
LogS can be calculated using well known software such as HSPIP (version 5). Hsppi can calculate the solubility of any compound, its commonly used log value log, using a multiple regression equation made based on measured values of the solubility of a plurality of compounds. The solubility and log calculated using hsppi are known to agree well with the measured values.
In the case where the polymer P is formed from a plurality of monomers M, x 4 can be determined by the following method. First, the log of each of the plurality of monomers M is calculated. The calculated log is weighted by the molar ratio of each monomer M and weighted average is performed. The resulting weighted average can be considered as x 4. In the present embodiment, the value of x 4 is not particularly limited, and is, for example, -5.0 to 10.
X 5 is the dipole moment (debye) of the monomers M used to form the polymer P. x 5 can be an index for predicting the interaction generated between the polymer P and water molecules, i.e., an index for predicting the degree of hydrophobicity, humidification durability of the polymer P. The closer x 5 value is to 0, the more hydrophobic polymer P tends to be. x 5 can be calculated by molecular modeling as described above for x 2. The dipole moment is a vector calculated from the x-component, y-component, and z-component.
In the case where the polymer P is formed from a plurality of monomers M, x 5 can be determined by the following method. First, the respective dipole moments in the plurality of monomers M are calculated. The calculated dipole moment is weighted by the molar ratio of each monomer M and weighted average is performed. The resulting weighted average can be considered as x 5. In the case where the plurality of monomers M are structural isomers with each other, x 5 can also be determined by weighting the calculated dipole moment by the molar ratio of each structural isomer and performing weighted average. In the present embodiment, the value of x 5 is not particularly limited, and is, for example, 2.0 to 5.0 debye.
X 6 is the z component of the dipole moment of the monomers M used to form the polymer P (Debye). x 6 may be an index for predicting the interaction generated between the polymer P and water molecules, i.e., an index for predicting the degree of hydrophobicity, humidification durability of the polymer P. The closer x 6 value is to 0, the more hydrophobic polymer P tends to be. x 6 can be calculated by molecular modeling as described above for x 2.
In the case where the polymer P is formed from a plurality of monomers M, x 6 can be determined by the following method. First, the z-component in the dipole moment of each of the plurality of monomers M is calculated. The z component in the calculated dipole moment is weighted by the molar ratio of each monomer M and weighted average is performed. The resulting weighted average can be considered as x 6. In the case where the plurality of monomers M are structural isomers with each other, x 6 may be determined by weighting and averaging the z component in the calculated dipole moment by the molar ratio of each structural isomer. In the present embodiment, the value of x 6 is not particularly limited, and is, for example, -2.0 to 3.0 debye.
X 7 is the number of hydrogen bond acceptors in monomer M used to form polymer P. x 7 can be an index for predicting the solubility of the polymer P in water, i.e., an index for predicting the degree of hydrophobicity, humidification durability of the polymer P. As described above, the hydrogen bond acceptor means an atom capable of forming a hydrogen bond with a hydrogen atom contained in a water molecule. The number of hydrogen bond acceptors can be determined using the molecular modeling described above for x 2.
In the case where the polymer P is formed from a plurality of monomers M, x 7 can be determined by the following method. First, the number of hydrogen bond acceptors is determined for each of the plurality of monomers M. For the determined number of hydrogen bond acceptors, the molar ratio of the monomers M is weighted and weighted averaged. The resulting weighted average can be considered as x 7. In the present embodiment, the value of x 7 is not particularly limited, and is, for example, 2.0 to 6.0.
The y value calculated from the formula (1) is preferably 3.00 or less, more preferably 2.30 or less, and may be 2.00 or less, or may be 1.00 or less, from the viewpoint of sufficiently suppressing the permeation of iodine contained in the polarizing plate 1 to the outside. However, the smaller the value of y, the higher the viscosity of the monomer M and the solution containing the monomer M, and the more difficult it tends to be to produce the resin layer 2. From the viewpoint of easy production of the resin layer 2, the value of y is, for example, -2.00 or more, or may be 0 or more, or may be 1.00 or more, or may be 2.00 or more, as the case may be.
The value of y calculated from the formula (1) is an index on the monomer M used to form the polymer P contained in the resin layer 2. However, according to the study of the inventors of the present application, the value of y is also useful as an index for selecting a resin layer 2 suitable for suppressing the permeation of iodine contained in the polarizing plate 1 to the outside.
[ Polarizer ]
The polarizing plate 1 is not particularly limited as long as it contains iodine, and examples thereof include polarizing plates obtained by uniaxially stretching a hydrophilic polymer film such as a polyvinyl alcohol film, a partially formalized polyvinyl alcohol film, or an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer partially saponified film by adsorbing iodine. The polarizing plate 1 is preferably composed of a polyvinyl alcohol film and iodine. The polarizing plate 1 contains polyvinyl alcohol as a main component, for example. In the present specification, "main component" means a material that is most contained in the polarizer 1 on a weight basis.
The thickness of the polarizing plate 1 is not particularly limited, and is, for example, 30 μm or less, preferably 20 μm or less, more preferably 18 μm or less, further preferably 15 μm or less, particularly preferably 12 μm or less, and particularly preferably 10 μm or less. The thickness of the polarizing plate 1 may be 2 μm or more, may be 4 μm or more, or may be 5 μm or more. The thickness of the polarizing plate 1 may be 7 to 12. Mu.m, and may be 1 μm or more and less than 7. Mu.m, particularly 4 to 6. Mu.m. In this specification, the polarizing plate 1 having a thickness of 10 μm or less is sometimes referred to as a thin polarizing plate. The thin polarizing plate tends to have less thickness unevenness and excellent visibility. Further, the thin polarizing plate has an advantage that dimensional change is suppressed and durability is excellent. The polarizing film 10 can be thinned by using a thin polarizing plate. When the polarizing plate 1 is a thin polarizing plate, the concentration of iodine in the polarizing plate 1 needs to be adjusted to be high in order to provide the polarizing film 10 with practically sufficient polarization. In the polarizing film 10 of the present embodiment, even when the thickness of the polarizing plate 1 is small and the concentration of iodine in the polarizing plate 1 is high, the permeation of iodine from the polarizing plate 1 to the outside can be sufficiently suppressed.
The polarizing plate 1 can be produced by, for example, immersing a hydrophilic polymer film such as a polyvinyl alcohol film in an aqueous iodine solution, dyeing the film, and stretching the film to 3 to 7 times the original length. The hydrophilic polymer film may be immersed in an aqueous solution containing boric acid, potassium iodide, or the like, as necessary. Further, the hydrophilic polymer film may be immersed in water before dyeing and washed with water, if necessary. The hydrophilic polymer film is washed with water to clean dirt adhering to the surface and to prevent blocking. The hydrophilic polymer film swells when washed with water, and thus has an effect of suppressing uneven dyeing. The hydrophilic polymer film may be stretched after being dyed with iodine, while being dyed, or before being dyed with iodine. The stretching of the hydrophilic polymer film may be performed in an aqueous solution containing boric acid, potassium iodide, or the like, or in water.
As the thin polarizing plate, those described in japanese patent application laid-open publication No. 51-069644, japanese patent application laid-open publication No. 2000-338329, international publication No. 2010/100917, japanese patent application laid-open publication No. 2014-59328, japanese patent application laid-open publication No. 2012-73563, and the like are typically cited. These thin polarizers can be produced by a production method including a step of stretching a laminate including a polyvinyl alcohol resin (PVA-based resin) layer and a stretching resin base material, and a step of dyeing the obtained stretched film. In this production method, since the PVA-based resin layer is supported by the resin base material for stretching, defects such as breakage due to stretching are less likely to occur.
In view of the possibility of stretching at a high magnification and the possibility of improving polarization performance, among the above-mentioned production methods, it is preferable to produce a thin polarizing plate by a production method including a stretching step in an aqueous boric acid solution, and it is particularly preferable to produce a thin polarizing plate by a production method including a step of performing auxiliary stretching in air before the stretching step in an aqueous boric acid solution. Methods for producing the aqueous boric acid solution including a stretching step are disclosed in International publication No. 2010/100917, japanese patent application laid-open No. 2014-59328, japanese patent application laid-open No. 2012-73563, and the like. Methods for manufacturing the air-stretching process are disclosed in Japanese patent application laid-open No. 2014-59328 and Japanese patent application laid-open No. 2012-73563.

The polymer P may contain structural units derived from monomers having polar groups, but is preferably free. In the case where the polymer P contains a structural unit derived from a monomer having a polar group, iodine contained in the polarizing plate 1 tends to easily access the resin layer 2. Therefore, the content of the structural unit derived from the monomer having a polar group in the polymer P is preferably 20% by weight or less, more preferably 10% by weight or less, further preferably 5% by weight or less, and particularly preferably 2% by weight or less.

The thickness of the resin layer 2 is not particularly limited, and is, for example, 10 μm or less, preferably 5 μm or less, more preferably less than 3 μm, and still more preferably less than 2.5 μm. The thinner the resin layer 2 is, the less the amount of the acid generator used for forming the resin layer 2 tends to be. When the amount of the acid generator used is small, even if the resin layer 2 is in direct contact with the polarizer 1, the acid generated by the acid generator is less likely to move from the resin layer 2 to the polarizer 1, and deterioration of the polarizer 1 tends to be suppressed. The thickness of the resin layer 2 is preferably 0.3 μm or more, or may be 0.5 μm or more, from the viewpoint of sufficiently suppressing the permeation of iodine contained in the polarizing plate 1 to the outside.
As described above, the resin layer 2 may be bonded to the polarizer 1 via the adhesive layer or the easy-to-adhere layer. As an adhesive layer for bonding the resin layer 2 to the polarizer 1, for example, an adhesive layer 3 described below is exemplified. The easy-to-adhere layer may be formed of, for example, a resin containing a polymer having a polyester skeleton, a polyether skeleton, a polycarbonate skeleton, a polyurethane skeleton, a silicone system, a polyamide skeleton, a polyimide skeleton, a polyvinyl alcohol skeleton, or the like.

The thickness of the easy-to-adhere layer is not particularly limited, but is preferably 0.01 to 5. Mu.m, more preferably 0.02 to 2. Mu.m, and still more preferably 0.05 to 1. Mu.m. The easy-to-adhere layer may be a multilayer laminate.
[ Adhesive layer ]
The adhesive layer 3 is a layer containing an adhesive. The material of the adhesive is not particularly limited, and a known material can be used. Examples of the adhesive contained in the adhesive layer 3 include a water-based adhesive and an active energy ray-curable adhesive. As the active energy ray-curable adhesive, for example, an adhesive disclosed in japanese patent application laid-open No. 2019-147865, japanese patent application laid-open No. 2016-177248, or the like can be used.
The thickness of the adhesive layer 3 is not particularly limited, and is, for example, 3.0 μm or less, preferably 0.01 to 3.0 μm, more preferably 0.1 to 2.5 μm, and still more preferably 0.5 to 1.5 μm. When the thickness of the adhesive layer 3 is too small, the cohesive force of the adhesive layer 3 may be insufficient and the peeling force may be lowered. When the thickness of the adhesive layer 3 is too large, if stress is applied to the cross section of the polarizing film 10, peeling may occur in the adhesive layer 3. That is, in the polarizing film 10, peeling failure due to impact may occur.
[ Protective film ]
The protective film 4 is preferably a protective film excellent in transparency, mechanical strength, thermal stability, moisture blocking property, isotropy, and the like. The protective film 4 is typically a transparent protective film. Examples of the material of the protective film 4 include polyester polymers such as polyethylene terephthalate and polyethylene naphthalate; cellulose polymers such as diacetyl cellulose and triacetyl cellulose; a (meth) acrylic polymer such as polymethyl methacrylate; styrene polymers such AS polystyrene and acrylonitrile-styrene copolymer (AS resin); a polycarbonate-based polymer; olefin polymers such as polyethylene, polypropylene and ethylene-propylene copolymer; cyclic olefin polymers such as polynorbornene; vinyl chloride-based polymers; amide polymers such as nylon and aromatic polyamide; imide-based polymers; a sulfone polymer; polyether sulfone-based polymers; polyether-ether-ketone polymers; polyphenylene sulfide-based polymers; a vinyl alcohol polymer; vinylidene chloride polymers; a vinyl butyral polymer; an acrylic polymer; polyoxymethylene polymers; an epoxy polymer; mixtures of these polymers, and the like.
The protective film 4 preferably contains a polymer that functions as a thermoplastic resin among the above polymers. The content of the thermoplastic resin in the protective film 4 is preferably 50 to 100% by weight, more preferably 50 to 99% by weight, still more preferably 60 to 98% by weight, and particularly preferably 70 to 97% by weight. When the content of the thermoplastic resin in the protective film 4 is less than 50% by weight, functions such as high transparency inherent in the thermoplastic resin may not be sufficiently exhibited. The protective film 4 preferably contains triacetyl cellulose (TAC) in the above-described polymer as a main component. The protective film 4 containing TAC tends to have high breaking strength and excellent cracking resistance. The protective film 4 also tends to be low in cost.
The protective film 4 may be a polymer film described in Japanese patent application laid-open No. 2001-343529, international publication No. 01/37007, or the like. Examples of the material of the polymer film include a resin composition containing a thermoplastic resin having a substituted and/or unsubstituted imide group in a side chain and a thermoplastic resin having a substituted and/or unsubstituted phenyl group and a nitrile group in a side chain. Specific examples of the polymer film include a film formed from a resin composition containing an alternating copolymer of isobutylene and N-methylmaleimide and an acrylonitrile-styrene copolymer. The film is obtained, for example, by mixing and extruding a resin composition. Since the film has a small retardation and a small photoelastic coefficient, the film can eliminate the defects such as unevenness caused by the strain of the polarizing film 10. Further, the film has low moisture permeability, and therefore has excellent durability in a humid environment.
The protective film 4 may contain 1 or more additives. Examples of the additives include ultraviolet absorbers, antioxidants, lubricants, plasticizers, mold release agents, anti-coloring agents, flame retardants, nucleating agents, antistatic agents, pigments, colorants, and the like.
The moisture permeability of the protective film 4 is not particularly limited, and may exceed 150 g/(m 2 ·day), or may be 300 g/(m 2 ·day) or more, or may be 500 g/(m 2 ·day) or more. In the polarizing film 10 of the present embodiment, even when the protective film 4 has high moisture permeability, the resin layer 2 can sufficiently suppress the permeation of iodine contained in the polarizing plate 1 to the outside. The upper limit of the moisture permeability of the protective film 4 is not particularly limited, and may be, for example, 5000 g/(m 2. Multidot. Day) or 1000 g/(m 2. Multidot. Day). The protective film 4 containing TAC tends to have high moisture permeability.
The moisture permeability of the protective film 4 can be measured by the following method according to the moisture permeability test (cup method) of Japanese Industrial Standard (JIS) Z0208. First, the protective film 4 was cut to a diameter of 60mm, and a measurement sample was prepared. The measurement sample was then placed in a moisture permeable cup equipped with about 15g of calcium chloride. The moisture permeability test was performed by placing the moisture permeability cup in a thermostat set at a temperature of 40 ℃ and a humidity of 92% rh and allowing the cup to stand for 24 hours. The moisture permeability of the protective film 4 can be determined by measuring the increase in weight of calcium chloride before and after the test.
The moisture permeability of the protective film 4 may be 150 g/(m 2. Day) or less. In this case, the intrusion of moisture in the air into the inside of the polarizing film 10 can be suppressed, and the change in the moisture content of the polarizing film 10 can be suppressed. This can prevent the polarizing film 10 from curling and changing in size during storage or the like. Examples of the material for forming the protective film 4 having low moisture permeability include polyester-based polymers, polycarbonate-based polymers, acrylate-based polymers, amide-based polymers, olefin-based polymers, cyclic olefin-based polymers, (meth) acrylic-based polymers, and mixtures thereof.
The thickness of the protective film 4 is not particularly limited, but is preferably 5 to 100 μm, more preferably 10 to 60 μm, and even more preferably 13 to 40 μm from the viewpoints of strength, handleability, and the like. The thickness of the protective film 4 may be less than 40 μm.
In order to improve the adhesion between the members, the surface of the protective film 4 may be subjected to an easy-to-adhere treatment such as corona treatment or plasma treatment. An easy-to-adhere layer may be disposed on the surface of the protective film 4. As the easy-to-adhere layer, the one described above for the resin layer 2 can be used.
[ Adhesive layer ]
The adhesive layer 5 is a layer containing an adhesive. The material of the binder is not particularly limited, and for example, a material containing a (meth) acrylic polymer, a silicone polymer, a polyester, a polyurethane, a polyamide, a polyether, a fluorine polymer, a rubber polymer, or the like as a base polymer can be used. In particular, an acrylic adhesive containing a (meth) acrylic polymer is excellent in optical transparency, has suitable adhesive properties such as wettability, aggregation and adhesiveness, and is excellent in weather resistance, heat resistance and the like, and therefore is suitable as a material for the adhesive layer 5.
The adhesive layer 5 may be a laminate of a plurality of layers having different compositions. The thickness of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 5 is appropriately determined depending on the purpose of use, the adhesive force, etc., and is, for example, 1 to 500. Mu.m, preferably 1 to 200. Mu.m, more preferably 1 to 100. Mu.m. The thickness of the adhesive layer 5 may be 50 μm or less.
The adhesive layer 5 may be attached to the separator before the polarizing film 10 is attached to the image display panel. By the film, contamination of the adhesive layer 5 can be prevented. As the separator, for example, a separator obtained by coating a film such as a plastic film, a rubber sheet, paper, cloth, nonwoven fabric, net, foam sheet, metal foil, or a laminate thereof with a release agent such as silicone, long-chain alkyl, fluorine, or molybdenum sulfide, as necessary, can be used.
[ Other parts ]
The polarizing film 10 may further include other members than the above-described members. The polarizing film 10 may further include a transparent substrate positioned on the viewing side of the resin layer 2, for example. The transparent substrate may be positioned at the outermost side of the polarizing film 10. The transparent substrate is made of glass or polymer, for example. Examples of the polymer constituting the transparent substrate include polyethylene terephthalate, polycycloolefin, and polycarbonate. The thickness of the transparent substrate made of glass is, for example, 0.1mm to 1mm. The thickness of the transparent substrate made of the polymer is, for example, 10 μm to 200 μm.
The transparent substrate is bonded to the resin layer 2 via, for example, an OCA (optical CLEAR ADHESIVE; optically clear adhesive) layer. As the OCA layer, for example, the layer described above for the adhesive layer 5 can be used. The thickness of the OCA layer is preferably 150 μm or less.
The polarizing film 10 may further include an optical film such as a reflection plate, a retardation film, a viewing angle compensation film, and a brightness enhancement film. The retardation film includes, for example, a 1/2 wavelength plate, a 1/4 wavelength plate, and the like. The polarizing film 10 may be disposed on the image display panel side of the polarizing plate 1 (for example, between the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 5 and the protective film 4), or may be disposed on the viewing side of the polarizing plate 1.
The polarizing film 10 may further include functional layers such as a hard coat layer, an antireflection layer, an anti-blocking layer, a diffusion layer, and an antiglare layer. In the polarizing film 10, the hard coat layer may be disposed on the viewing side of the resin layer 2.
[ Method for producing polarizing film ]
The method for producing the polarizing film 10 includes, for example, a step of polymerizing a monomer M having a value y calculated by the above formula (1) of less than 4.00 to obtain a polymer P. In detail, the polarizing film 10 may be manufactured by the following method. First, the polarizer 1 and the protective film 4 are bonded via the adhesive layer 3. Next, a coating liquid containing the monomer M and a polymerization initiator is prepared. The polymerization initiator is typically an acid generator as described hereinabove for the resin layer 2.
The content of the polymerization initiator in the coating liquid is, for example, 20% by weight or less, preferably 0.01 to 20% by weight, more preferably 0.05 to 10% by weight, and also 0.1 to 5% by weight.
Next, the coating liquid is coated on the polarizing plate 1. Thus, a film (coating film) containing the monomer M and the polymerization initiator can be formed on the polarizing plate 1. Subsequently, the monomer M is polymerized so as to form the resin layer 2 from the coating film. The polymerization of the monomers M can be carried out by known methods. For example, when a photoacid generator is used as a polymerization initiator, the monomer M can be polymerized by irradiating the coating film with active energy rays. Examples of the active energy ray include visible light rays and ultraviolet rays. In the present specification, the resin layer 2 produced by polymerizing the monomer M contained in the coating film is sometimes referred to as a cured resin layer. Next, the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 5 is bonded to the protective film 4 to obtain the polarizing film 10.
The resin layer 2 can be produced by the following method. First, the monomer M is polymerized to obtain the polymer P. The obtained polymer P was added to a solvent to prepare a coating liquid. Examples of the solvent include organic solvents capable of dissolving or dispersing the polymer P. Next, a coating film is produced by applying a coating liquid to the polarizing plate 1. The resin layer 2 was obtained by drying the coating film.
[ Properties of polarizing film ]
In the polarizing film 10 of the present embodiment, the iodine contained in the polarizing plate 1 can be sufficiently suppressed from penetrating to the outside in a high-temperature and high-humidity environment. That is, the concentration of iodine in the polarizing plate 1 hardly changes in a high-temperature and high-humidity environment. The change in the concentration of iodine in the polarizing plate 1 can be grasped from, for example, the change in the individual transmittance of the polarizing film 10. As an example, when the polarizing film 10 is placed in an atmosphere of 65 ℃ and 90% rh for 8 hours in a state where the polarizing film 10 is bonded to alkali-free glass with the adhesive layer 5 interposed therebetween, the change Δy1 of the individual transmittance of the polarizing film 10 is, for example, 4 or less, preferably 3 or less, more preferably 2 or less, still more preferably 1.85 or less, particularly preferably 1.5 or less, and particularly preferably 1 or less.
The change Δy1 in the individual transmittance can be specifically determined by the following method. First, the individual transmittance Ts1 of the laminate obtained by bonding the polarizing film 10 to alkali-free glass via the adhesive layer 5 was measured. Subsequently, the laminate was left to stand at 65℃under an atmosphere of 90% RH for 8 hours. The individual transmittance Ts2 of the laminate after being left in this atmosphere was measured. The value obtained by subtracting the individual transmittance Ts1 from the individual transmittance Ts2 is regarded as a change Δy1 in the individual transmittance. The individual transmittance of the laminate was a Y value obtained by correcting the visibility of the laminate in a 2-degree field of view (C light source) according to JIS Z8701-1999. The individual transmittance can be measured by using a commercially available spectrophotometer such as DOT-3 manufactured by color technology research in village. The measurement wavelength of the individual transmittance was 380 to 700nm (per 10 nm). The alkali-free glass is a glass substantially free of alkali components (alkali metal oxides), and specifically, the weight ratio of alkali components in the glass is, for example, 1000ppm or less, and further 500ppm or less. The alkali-free glass is, for example, plate-shaped and has a thickness of 0.5mm or more.
The individual transmittance Ts1 is not particularly limited, and is, for example, 42% to 46%, preferably 43% or more, and more preferably 44% or more. The individual transmittance Ts2 is not particularly limited, and is, for example, 42% to 48%, preferably 47% or less, and more preferably 46% or less.
Further, when the polarizing film 10 is left to stand under an atmosphere of 65 ℃ and 90% rh for 24 hours in a state where the polarizing film 10 is bonded to alkali-free glass with the adhesive layer 5 interposed therebetween, the change Δy2 of the individual transmittance of the polarizing film 10 is, for example, 20 or less, preferably 10 or less, more preferably 5 or less, still more preferably 3 or less, and particularly preferably 2 or less.
The change Δy2 in the individual transmittance can be measured by the same method as described for the change Δy1 in the individual transmittance, except that the laminate obtained by bonding the polarizing film 10 to the alkali-free glass via the adhesive layer 5 is left for 24 hours at 65 ℃ in an atmosphere of 90% rh.
(Modification of polarizing film)
Fig. 2 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a polarizing film 11 according to a modification. As shown in fig. 2, in the polarizing film 11 of the present modification, the protective film 4 is located on the viewing side of the resin layer 2, and the protective film 4, the resin layer 2, and the polarizing plate 1 are arranged in this order in the lamination direction. The polarizing film 11 does not include the adhesive layer 3. Except for this, the structure of the polarizing film 11 is the same as that of the polarizing film 10. Therefore, common elements in the polarizing film 10 and the polarizing film 11 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and their description may be omitted. That is, the following descriptions of the embodiments are applicable to each other as long as the descriptions are not technically contradictory. The following embodiments may be combined with each other as long as the embodiments are not technically contradictory.
The resin layer 2 is directly connected to the polarizer 1 and the protective film 4. The polarizing plate 1 and the protective film 4 are bonded via the resin layer 2. However, other layers such as an adhesive layer and an easy-to-adhere layer may be disposed between the resin layer 2 and the polarizer 1 or between the resin layer 2 and the protective film 4. These members may be bonded via an adhesive layer or an easy-to-adhere layer. Examples of the adhesive layer and the easy-to-adhere layer include the layers described above for the polarizing film 10.
The polarizing film 11 may further include a hard coat layer on the viewing side of the protective film 4. The hard coat layer may be located at the outermost side of the polarizing film 11. However, in the case where the polarizing film 11 includes the transparent substrate, the hard coat layer may be provided between the protective film 4 and the transparent substrate.
In the polarizing film 11, both the protective film 4 and the resin layer 2 are located on the viewing side of the polarizing plate 1. In this polarizing film 11, iodine contained in the polarizing plate 1 tends to be more suppressed from penetrating to the outside in a high-temperature and high-humidity environment. As an example, when the polarizing film 11 is placed under an atmosphere of 85 ℃ and 85% rh for 120 hours in a state where the polarizing film 11 is bonded to alkali-free glass with the adhesive layer 5 interposed therebetween, the change Δy3 of the individual transmittance of the polarizing film 11 is, for example, 2 or less, preferably 1.6 or less, more preferably 1.5 or less, still more preferably 1.3 or less, and may be 1.2 or less, or 1 or less.
The change Δy3 in the individual transmittance can be specifically measured by the following method. First, the individual transmittance Ts3 of the laminate obtained by bonding the polarizing film 11 to alkali-free glass via the adhesive layer 5 was measured. Next, the laminate was left to stand at 85 ℃ under an atmosphere of 85% rh for 120 hours. The individual transmittance Ts4 of the laminate after being left in this atmosphere was measured. The value obtained by subtracting the individual transmittance Ts3 from the individual transmittance Ts4 is regarded as a change Δy3 in the individual transmittance.
The individual transmittance Ts3 is not particularly limited, and is, for example, 42% to 46%, preferably 43% or more, and more preferably 44% or more. The individual transmittance Ts4 is not particularly limited, and is, for example, 42% to 48%, preferably 47% or less, and more preferably 46% or less.
In the state where the polarizing film 11 is bonded to alkali-free glass with the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 5 interposed therebetween, when the polarizing film 11 is left to stand under an atmosphere of 85 ℃ and 85% rh for 240 hours, the change Δy4 of the individual transmittance of the polarizing film 11 is, for example, 1.6 or less, preferably 1.5 or less, more preferably 1.4 or less, still more preferably 1.3 or less, and particularly preferably 1.2 or less.
The change Δy4 in the individual transmittance can be measured by the same method as described above for the change Δy3 in the individual transmittance, except that the laminate obtained by bonding the polarizing film 11 to the alkali-free glass via the adhesive layer 5 is left for 240 hours at 85 ℃ in an atmosphere of 85% rh.
(Another modification of polarizing film)
In the polarizing film 10, the resin layer 2 may be located on the image display panel side described later than the polarizing plate 1. As shown in fig. 3, in the polarizing film 12 of the present modification, the resin layer 2 is located closer to the image display panel than the polarizing plate 1. The structure of the polarizing film 12 is the same as that of the polarizing film 10 except for the position of the resin layer 2.
The resin layer 2 is located between the polarizer 1 and the adhesive layer 3, for example, and directly contacts the polarizer 1 and the adhesive layer 3, respectively. However, other layers such as an adhesive layer and an easy-to-adhere layer may be disposed between the resin layer 2 and the polarizing plate 1. For example, the resin layer 2 may be bonded to the polarizer 1 via an adhesive layer or an easy-to-adhere layer. As the adhesive layer and the easy-to-adhere layer for adhering the resin layer 2 to the polarizing plate 1, those described above for the polarizing film 10 are exemplified. When the resin layer 2 is located closer to the image display panel than the polarizer 1, iodine contained in the polarizer 1 can be prevented from moving to the adhesive layer 5 and transmitting to the outside of the polarizing film 12 through the adhesive layer 5 in a high-temperature and high-humidity environment.
(Still another modification of polarizing film)
The polarizing film 10 may further include other members than the above-described members. As shown in fig. 4, the polarizing film 13 of the present modification includes the protective film (1 st protective film) 4 and the protective film (2 nd protective film) 6. The structure of the polarizing film 13 is the same as that of the polarizing film 10 except for the 2 nd protective film 6.
The 2 nd protective film 6 is located on the viewing side of the polarizing plate 1. The polarizing plate 1 is located, for example, between the 1 st protective film 4 and the 2 nd protective film 6. The 2 nd protective film 6 is located on the viewing side of the resin layer 2, for example, and is located on the outermost side of the polarizing film 13. However, in the case where the polarizing film 13 includes the transparent substrate, the 2 nd protective film 6 may be located between the resin layer 2 and the transparent substrate. The 2 nd protective film 6 is, for example, directly connected to the resin layer 2. However, the 2 nd protective film 6 may be bonded to the resin layer 2 via another layer such as an adhesive layer or a hard coat layer. As an adhesive layer for bonding the 2 nd protective film 6 to the resin layer 2, for example, the layer described above for the adhesive layer 3 is exemplified.
As the 2 nd protective film 6, the protective film described above for the 1 st protective film 4 can be used. The 1 st protective film 4 and the 2 nd protective film 6 may be the same or different from each other.
(Still another modification of polarizing film)
The polarizing film 10 may include 2 or more resin layers 2. As shown in fig. 5, the polarizing film 14 of the present modification includes 2 resin layers 2a and 2b. The structure of the polarizing film 14 is the same as that of the polarizing film 10 except for the resin layer 2b.
In the polarizing film 14, the polarizing plate 1 is located between 2 resin layers 2a and 2 b. Specifically, the resin layer 2b is located closer to the image display panel than the polarizer 1 (for example, between the polarizer 1 and the adhesive layer 3). When the polarizing plate 1 is disposed between the 2 resin layers 2a and 2b, the polarizing film 14 tends to further suppress the permeation of iodine contained in the polarizing plate 1 to the outside.
The resin layer 2b may be directly connected to the polarizing plate 1. However, other layers such as an adhesive layer and an easy-to-adhere layer may be disposed between the resin layer 2b and the polarizing plate 1. For example, the resin layer 2b may be bonded to the polarizer 1 via an adhesive layer or an easy-to-adhere layer. As the adhesive layer and the easy-to-adhere layer for adhering the resin layer 2b to the polarizing plate 1, those described above for the polarizing film 10 are exemplified.
(Embodiment of image display device)
As shown in fig. 6, the image display device 100 of the present embodiment includes a polarizing film 10 and an image display panel 20. In the image display device 100, the polarizing film 11, 12, 13, or 14 may be used instead of the polarizing film 10. In the image display device 100, the polarizing film 10 is attached to the image display panel 20 via the adhesive layer 5, for example. The image display panel 20 includes an organic EL display panel, a liquid crystal display panel, and the like, and is preferably an organic EL display panel.
The image display device 100 further includes an illumination system (not shown), for example. As an example, the polarizing film 10, the image display panel 20, and the illumination system are arranged in this order, and the polarizing film 10 is positioned on the most visible side. The illumination system has, for example, a backlight or a reflection plate, and irradiates light to the image display panel 20.

< Laminate comprising transparent protective film, adhesive layer and thin polarizer >
The active energy ray-curable adhesive composition was applied to the bonding surface of the transparent protective film I using an MCD coater (cell shape: honeycomb, gravure roll line number: 1000 pieces/inch, rotational speed 140%/relative line speed) manufactured by fuji mechanical company. The thickness of the obtained coating film was 0.7. Mu.m. Next, the transparent protective film I was bonded to the laminate a including the PVA layer using a roll press. At this time, the coating film was brought into contact with the PVA layer. The linear speed of the roller press was 25m/min. Subsequently, the obtained laminate was irradiated with active energy rays from the transparent protective film side. As the active energy ray, a visible light ray emitted from a visible light ray irradiation device (LIGHT HAMMER manufactured by Fusion UVSystems corporation) was used. The light source of the visible ray irradiation device is a gallium-sealed metal halide lamp. In the visible ray irradiation apparatus, a V bulb is used as a bulb. The peak illuminance of the outgoing light from the visible ray irradiation device was 1600mW/cm 2. The cumulative irradiation amount of the emitted light from the visible ray irradiation device in the wavelength range of 380nm to 440nm was 1000mJ/cm 2. The illuminance of the light emitted from the visible light irradiation device was measured using a Sola-Check system manufactured by Solatell corporation. The active energy ray-curable adhesive composition in the coating film is cured by irradiation of the laminate with active energy rays. Next, this laminate was subjected to hot air drying at 70 ℃ for 3 minutes to obtain a laminate b including the transparent protective film I, the adhesive layer, and the thin polarizing plate.
< Resin layer >
First, 60 parts by weight of 3',6' -bis (ethylene oxide-2-ylmethoxy) spiro [ fluorene-9, 9' -xanthene ] (trade name: TBIS-RXG, manufactured by the chemical industry Co., ltd.), 20 parts by weight of bis [ (3-ethyl-3-oxetanyl) methyl ] ether (trade name: OXT-221, manufactured by the east Asian Synthesis Co., ltd.), 20 parts by weight of 4-t-butylphenyl glycidyl ether (trade name: denacol EX-146, manufactured by the Nagase ChemteX Co., ltd.), and 10 parts by weight of photoacid generator (trade name: CPI-100P) were mixed and stirred at 25℃for 1 hour to prepare a coating liquid.
Next, the amorphous PET substrate adjacent to the PVA layer was removed from the laminate b, and the surface of the exposed PVA layer was corona-treated. Next, the above-mentioned coating liquid was applied to the exposed PVA layer by using an MCD coater (cell shape: honeycomb, gravure roll line number: 250 pieces/inch, rotational speed 160%/relative line speed) manufactured by Fuji mechanical Co. The thickness of the obtained coating film was 2.0. Mu.m. Next, a COP film (trade name: ZF14, thickness: 25 μm) was bonded to the PVA layer using a roll press. At this time, the coating film is brought into contact with the COP film. The linear speed of the roller press was 25m/min. Subsequently, the obtained laminate was irradiated with active energy rays from the COP film side. As the active energy ray, ultraviolet rays emitted from an irradiation device (LIGHT HAMMER manufactured by Fusion UV Systems corporation) were used. In the irradiation device, an H bulb is used as a bulb. The peak illuminance of the outgoing light from the irradiation device was 200mW/cm 2. In the wavelength range of 330nm to 390nm, the cumulative irradiation amount of the emitted light from the irradiation device was 600mJ/cm 2. The illuminance and the cumulative irradiation amount of the emitted light from the irradiation device were measured using a UV radiometer POWERPUCK II manufactured by EIT corporation. By irradiating the laminate with active energy rays, the monomers in the coating film polymerize. The coating film is cured by polymerization of the monomer. Subsequently, the laminate was dried with hot air at 70℃for 3 minutes, and then allowed to stand at 25℃for 24 hours. Thereby, a resin layer is formed. The COP film was peeled from the laminate to obtain a laminate c including the transparent protective film I, the adhesive layer, the thin polarizer, and the resin layer.
Next, the surface of the transparent protective film I is subjected to corona treatment. An adhesive layer having a thickness of 20 μm was bonded to the surface. The adhesive layer is composed of an acrylic adhesive. Thus, a polarizing film a including a resin layer, a polarizing plate, an adhesive layer, a transparent protective film I, and an adhesive layer in this order was obtained.
(Production of polarizing film B)
First, the contact surface of the transparent protective film I is subjected to corona treatment. The coating liquid was applied to the bonding surface of the transparent protective film I using an MCD coater (cell shape: honeycomb, gravure roll line number: 250 pieces/inch, rotational speed 160%/relative line speed) manufactured by fuji mechanical company. The thickness of the obtained coating film was 2.0. Mu.m. Next, the transparent protective film I was bonded to the laminate a including the PVA layer using a roll press. At this time, the coating film was brought into contact with the PVA layer. The linear speed of the roller press was 25m/min. Subsequently, the obtained laminate was irradiated with active energy rays from the thin polarizer side. The above ultraviolet rays are used for the polarizing film a as active energy rays. By irradiating the laminate with active energy rays, the monomers in the coating film polymerize. The coating film is cured by polymerization of the monomer. Subsequently, the laminate was dried with hot air at 70℃for 3 minutes, and then allowed to stand at 25℃for 24 hours. Thus, a resin layer was formed, and a laminate d including the transparent protective film I, the resin layer, and the thin polarizing plate was obtained.
Next, the amorphous PET substrate adjacent to the PVA layer was removed from the obtained laminate d, and the surface of the exposed PVA layer was subjected to corona treatment. An adhesive layer having a thickness of 20 μm was bonded to the surface. The adhesive layer is composed of an acrylic adhesive. Thus, a polarizing film B having a transparent protective film I, a resin layer, a polarizing plate, and an adhesive layer in this order was obtained.
(Production of polarizing film C)
< Transparent protective film with hard coating >
First, a solution (trade name: unidic-806, manufactured by DIC corporation, solid content concentration: 80% by weight) obtained by dissolving an ultraviolet curable resin monomer or oligomer containing urethane acrylate as a main component in butyl acetate was prepared. For 100 parts by weight of the solid content of the solution, 5 parts by weight of a photopolymerization initiator (trade name: IRGACURE907, manufactured by BASF corporation) and 0.1 part by weight of a leveling agent (trade name: GRANDIC PC4100, manufactured by DIC corporation) were used. Further, cyclopentanone and propylene glycol monomethyl ether were reacted at 45:55 was added to the solution so that the concentration of the solid component in the solution was adjusted to 36 wt%. Thus, a coating liquid for forming a hard coat layer was prepared.
Next, as the transparent protective film, a triacetyl cellulose (TAC) film (trade name: TJ25UL, manufactured by Fuji film Co., ltd., raw material: triacetyl cellulose-based polymer, thickness: 25 μm, moisture permeability: 931 g/(m 2. Multidot. Day)) was used. A coating liquid for forming a hard coat layer is coated on the transparent protective film to form a coating film. The thickness of the coating film was adjusted so that the thickness of the hard coat layer after curing became 7. Mu.m. Then, the coating film was dried at 90℃for 1 minute, and then, an ultraviolet ray having a cumulative light amount of 300mJ/cm 2 was irradiated to the coating film using a high-pressure mercury lamp. Thus, the coating film was cured to form a hard coat layer (HC) having a thickness of 7. Mu.m, thereby obtaining a transparent protective film II with HC. The transparent protective film II with HC had a moisture permeability of 420 g/(m 2. Multidot. Day) at 40℃and 92% RH.
A polarizing film C was produced in the same manner as the polarizing film B except that the transparent protective film II with HC was used instead of the transparent protective film I. The polarizing film C includes, in order, a hard coat layer, a transparent protective film (TAC film), a resin layer, a polarizing plate, and an adhesive layer.
Examples 2 to 11 and comparative examples 1 to 6
Polarizing films a to C were produced in examples 2 to 11 and comparative examples 1 to 6 by the same method as in example 1, except that the monomers contained in the coating liquid for forming the resin layer were changed to the monomers described in table 1.
< Value of y calculated from formula (1) >)
The value of x 1~x7 was determined by the above method for the monomers contained in the coating liquids for forming the resin layers used in examples and comparative examples. The dispersion term δD (MPa 1/2) in the Hansen solubility parameter of the monomer and the common logarithmic value LogS of the solubility S (g/100 g) of the monomer in water at 25℃were calculated using HSPIP (version 5). Molecular modeling for calculating dipole moment of monomers and the like was performed using MATERIALS STUDIO (manufactured by BIOVIA, ver.8.0.0.843) and WebMO (ver.19.0.009 e). Further, using the value of x 1~x7, the value of y is calculated based on equation (1).
< Change in individual transmittance DeltaY1 >
For the polarizing films a of examples and comparative examples, the change Δy1 in individual transmittance was measured by the following method. First, the polarizing film a was bonded to alkali-free glass via an adhesive layer. For the obtained laminate, the individual transmittance Ts1 was measured. The individual transmittance Ts1 was measured by using a spectral transmittance measuring instrument (Dot-3 c manufactured by color technology research, village) with an integrating sphere. Subsequently, the laminate was left to stand at 65℃under an atmosphere of 90% RH for 8 hours. The individual transmittance Ts2 of the laminate after being placed in this atmosphere was measured using the above-mentioned spectral transmittance measuring device. The change Δy1 in individual transmittance is calculated by subtracting the individual transmittance Ts1 from the individual transmittance Ts2.
< Change in individual transmittance DeltaY2 >
The change Δy2 in individual transmittance was measured by the same method as described above for the change Δy1 in individual transmittance except that the laminate obtained by bonding the polarizing film a to the alkali-free glass via the adhesive layer was left to stand for 24 hours at 65 ℃ in an atmosphere of 90% rh.
< Change in individual transmittance DeltaY3 >
For the polarizing films B and C of examples and comparative examples, the change Δy3 in individual transmittance was measured by the following method. First, polarizing films B and C were bonded to alkali-free glass via an adhesive layer. For the obtained laminate, the individual transmittance Ts3 was measured. The individual transmittance Ts3 was measured by using a spectral transmittance measuring instrument (Dot-3 c manufactured by color technology research, village) with an integrating sphere. Next, the laminate was left to stand at 85 ℃ under an atmosphere of 85% rh for 120 hours. The individual transmittance Ts4 of the laminate after being placed in this atmosphere was measured using the above-mentioned spectral transmittance measuring device. The change Δy3 in individual transmittance is calculated by subtracting the individual transmittance Ts3 from the individual transmittance Ts4.
< Change in individual transmittance DeltaY4 >
The change Δy4 in individual transmittance was measured by the same method as that described above for the change Δy3 in individual transmittance, except that the laminate obtained by bonding the polarizing film B to the alkali-free glass via the adhesive layer was left to stand for 240 hours at 85 ℃ in an atmosphere of 85% rh.
< Evaluation of cracking >
For the polarizing films B and C of examples and comparative examples, thermal shock test was performed by the following method. First, an adhesive layer is attached to the surface of the transparent protective film I (or the transparent protective film II with HC) of the polarizing film. Next, the obtained laminate was cut into a shape shown in fig. 7 using a CO 2 Laser (manufactured by Comnet, product name: laser Pro-SPIRIT), and a measurement sample 15 was produced. Specifically, a measurement sample 15 was prepared by cutting a part of a long laminate having a length of 50mm×a width of 150mm in a V-shape from one long side. At this time, the angle between the long side of the laminate before cutting and the cut surface was adjusted to 14 °. In the long laminate, the absorption axis direction matches the direction in which the short side extends. The irradiation conditions of the CO 2 laser were as follows.
Irradiation conditions
Wavelength: 10.6 μm
Laser output: 30W
Oscillation mode: pulse oscillation
Diameter of laser: 70 μm
Laser irradiation surface: protective film side
Next, the measurement sample 15 was bonded to alkali-free glass having a thickness of 0.5mm using an adhesive layer disposed on the surface of the transparent protective film side. In this state, a thermal shock test was performed by applying a thermal shock at-40 to 80℃200 times to the measurement sample 15. Each thermal shock was carried out for 30 minutes. After the thermal shock test, it was confirmed whether or not cracking occurred in the V-shaped portion (region a in fig. 7) of the measurement sample 15, which penetrated through the measurement sample 15. The thermal shock test was repeated 10 times, and the case where cracking occurred was rated as x, and the case where no cracking occurred was rated as o.
