Description

The manufacture method of optical element
Technical field
The present invention relates to the optical element manufacture method of used for liquid crystal display element colorimetric compensation plate, used for liquid crystal display element visual angle improvement plate, optics phasic difference plate, raising briliancy plate, antireflection plate, colored Polarizer, 1/2 wavelength plate, 1/4 wavelength plate, optical activity optical element etc.
Background technology
The optical element that liquid crystal liquid crystal property macromolecule, the liquid crystal liquid crystal property macromolecule of particularly having been fixed by liquid crystal intrinsic orientation texture form is in the optical applications of various displays, for example demonstrate epoch-making performance, and make display high performance, lightweight and slimming as used for liquid crystal display element colorimetric compensation plate or used for liquid crystal display element visual angle improvement plate.As the manufacture method of this optical element, the floor that is formed by the liquid crystal liquid crystal property macromolecule that has proposed to form on the orientation substrate is transferred to the method (for example with reference to special claims and Fig. 1, Fig. 2 that opens flat 7-113911 communique) on the light-transmitting substrate.By this manufacture method the effect of orientation substrate and light-transmitting substrate is separated, can produce the optical element of various goods forms, open the road that the direction of the optical element that is formed by film-type liquid crystal liquid crystal property macromolecule develops thus especially.
But particularly liquid crystal display is very strict with the performance requirement of optical element to optical element, particularly runs into various difficult problems when making banded optical element continuously.That is and since the diameter of liquid crystal liquid crystal property macromolecule layer only the part of the shortcoming about 100 μ m will cause optical defect, it is residual therefore also not allow small transfer printing.In addition, the coiling step is indispensable in the manufacture process of the optical element film that is formed by banded liquid crystal liquid crystal property macromolecule layer, and the distortion of the big tack coat of plastic yield causes optical distortion, therefore makes product defective.Opposite is if tack coat is really up to the mark, produces the crack when transfer printing or coiling.In addition, for keeping the high molecular optical property of liquid crystal liquid crystal property, this transfer step must be implemented in the temperature below the liquid crystal liquid crystal property macromolecule Tg.In addition, these optical elements are necessary for the element of the strict failtests that satisfies thermal cycle experiment, high temperature experiment, low temperature test, the experiment of high temperature high temperature etc.Because the quality requirements to the goods that use optical element is more and more stricter, therefore requires its further improvement.In addition, when improving quality, also require to improve productive rate.
Because used liquid crystal liquid crystal property macromolecule is extremely thin film and payes attention to its orientation in these optical elements, therefore use the less macromolecule of molecular weight.For this reason by adopting cementing agent with the liquid crystal liquid crystal property macromolecule layer film and the film adhered formation stack membrane of light-transmitting substrate that on orientation substrate, form, make adhesive cures, obtain having the orientation substrate film/stack membrane of the layer structure of liquid crystal liquid crystal property macromolecule layer/cured binders layer/light-transmitting substrate film, the continuously transfer printing step of only the orientation substrate film being implemented to peel off continuously from this stack membrane, need careful especially attention in the particularly last continuous strip step, this step is the high step of difficulty.Promptly, in this continuous strip step, with the interface peel between orientation substrate film and the liquid crystal liquid crystal property macromolecule layer film is most important parts, if this peels off means and condition is not carried out optimization, and the liquid crystal liquid crystal property macromolecule layer critical defect that will produce the residual or crack of transfer printing, peel off etc. then.
As the method that addresses the aforementioned drawbacks, present inventors etc. proposed a kind of method in the past, even this stack membrane contact is by between nip rolls and the backing roll, make orientation substrate film contact passing through nip rolls respectively, make light-transmitting substrate film contact passing through backing roll, simultaneously only carry the orientation substrate film, peel off thus along nip rolls, thereby with liquid crystal liquid crystal property macromolecule layer continuously transfer printing to the light-transmitting substrate film (with reference to special claims and Fig. 1, Fig. 2 that opens flat 7-113911 communique).But more and more stricter to the quality requirements of optical thin film, even a point defect is arranged slightly, its quality is also with defective.If have dust or foreign matter on the backing roll, the pressure when then clamping will make adhesive layer or the damage of liquid crystal liquid crystal property macromolecule layer, and part liquid crystal liquid crystal property macromolecule layer remains on the orientation substrate film side when peeling off.In addition, because the surface accuracy of nip rolls or the influence of friction, when the orientation substrate film is released from being clamped to, because the influence of this film fine wrinkle will produce the irregular bad phenomenon of peeling off.
Summary of the invention

Below to adopting these light or electron ray curing type cementing agent, the liquid crystal liquid crystal property macromolecule layer continuously transfer printing that forms on the orientation substrate film is described to the step on the light-transmitting substrate.Comprise that promptly (1) will be coated with that two belt base plates behind the cementing agent are film adhered, (3) stack membrane irradiates light or electron ray after fitting being coated with cementing agent, (2) at least one side of liquid crystal liquid crystal property macromolecule layer that forms on the banded orientation substrate film or banded light-transmitting substrate film, make and only peel off the step that banded optical element film that orientation substrate film, (5) form the liquid crystal liquid crystal property macromolecule layer/cured binders layer/light-transmitting substrate film that is transferred to banded light-transmitting substrate film side is implemented to reel etc. after adhesive cures, (4) adhesive cures.These steps are to implement continuously with the speed in 0.5~100m/min scope.
Method as coating cementing agent at least one side that is formed on liquid crystal liquid crystal property macromolecule layer on the banded orientation substrate or banded light-transmitting substrate film, the conduct that can adopt general implementation is coated with method, spraying process etc. to the mould that rolling method, the curtain of continuous film coating means is coated with method, sealing rubbing method etc., and is not particularly limited.The adhesive thickness that is coated with is 0.5~200 μ m, is preferably 1~100 μ m, if more than 200 μ m, then the curing rate of cementing agent reduces, and solidifies insufficient, therefore not preferred.Implement being coated with the means of lamination that can adopt general implementation when two substrate film behind the cementing agent are fitted, thoroughly get rid of the mode of the bubble of sneaking into during still with applying and implement.The curing of the coating and the back adhesive layer of fitting can be implemented at the Width uniform irradiation light or the electron ray of band shape applying film according to used cementing agent under appropriate condition.
After adhesive layer solidifies, only the orientation substrate film is peeled off continuously, made the liquid crystal liquid crystal property macromolecule layer continuously transfer printing that forms on the orientation substrate film on the light-transmitting substrate film side by the adhesive layer that solidifies, and be wound into reel.In last continuous strip step, its must condition for example on the orientation substrate film side, there not to be the transfer printing of liquid crystal liquid crystal property macromolecule residual fully, on the liquid crystal liquid crystal property macromolecule layer of transfer printing, can not produce the crack fully or peel off, and light-transmitting substrate film, orientation substrate film itself do not produce damage or wrinkle etc., this step particular importance, and be the high step of complexity.
Below with reference to the accompanying drawings stripping means of the present invention is described.What Fig. 1 represented is an embodiment of stripping means of the present invention.The present invention is passed through between nip rolls 3 (contacting with the orientation substrate film) and backing roll 2 (contacting with the light-transmitting substrate film) by the banded stack membrane 1 that the orientation substrate film/liquid crystal liquid crystal property macromolecule layer/cured binders layer/transparent thin-film forms, and this laminate film is transported to peels off excellent 5 places then.The material of nip rolls 3 and backing roll 2 is not particularly limited, and can be the two combination of metal, rubber or this.Preferred nip rolls is a metal for resilient material, backing roll as rubber.When clamping stack membrane 1, clamping pressure must not depart to the roller Width.Clamping pressure is preferably 0.01~100kgf/mm.Carry stack membrane along backing roll among Fig. 1, but also can not carry along backing roll.In addition, the diameter of nip rolls and backing roll is different among the figure, but the diameter of the two also can be identical.
The orientation substrate film side that makes the stack membrane of having carried with peel off rod and contact, to carry along peeling off the mode that rod only peels off the orientation substrate film, the optical element goods divided thin film that makes orientation substrate film and remaining liquid crystal liquid crystal property macromolecule layer/cured binders layer/light-transmitting substrate film formation thus from.Optical element goods film is carried by conveying roller, take up roll.
That peels off rod is shaped as the pole shape, and diameter is 5~30mm, be preferably 10mm~20mm.During diameter deficiency 5mm, it is crooked to peel off rod, can produce wrinkle on the film, so not preferred.In addition, when diameter surpassed 30mm, peel angle diminished, and exists the danger at orientation substrate film side residual fraction liquid crystal liquid crystal property macromolecule layer, and is therefore not preferred.The material of peeling off rod is not particularly limited, but preferred flatness is excellent and can not produce the plastics or the metal of dust.Peeling off near the rod, broken away from the orientation substrate of peeling off rod with to peeling off the formed angle of stack membrane that rod advances preferably below 90 degree.If surpass 90 degree, then peel off state labile, on the orientation substrate film side, exist the high molecular danger of residual fraction liquid crystal liquid crystal property, therefore not preferred.
The speed that the lamination sheet is peeled off continuously is not particularly limited, and can freely change in the practical zone of device.Usually at 0.1~200m/min, preferably implement in the scope at 0.5~100m/min.The tension force that film is applied is not particularly limited, and does not produce wrinkle or crooked state but the predetermined tension size is in film.The preferable range of tension force is 0.05~0.50kgf/mm 2Tension force almost keeps equal before and after preferably peeling off.Produce big stripping charge in the stripping portion of orientation substrate film, fissility is descended or cause the adverse effect of on the liquid crystal liquid crystal property macromolecule membrane, adhering to dust etc., dangerous aspect working environment, therefore adopt ionized air etc. effectively to remove.In addition, it also is effective will peeling off excellent ground connection own.
As mentioned above, when obtaining transfer film 6 by only peeling off orientation substrate film 4 from 4 stacked tunics 1 of orientation substrate film/liquid crystal liquid crystal property macromolecule layer/cured binders layer/light-transmitting substrate film formation, if peel off stack membrane 1 along peeling off rod 5, can prevent the residual or crack of the high molecular fine transfer printing of liquid crystal liquid crystal property, peel off etc., on two substrate film, do not produce fine damage yet, can stablize, implement continuously to peel off etc., so commercial value is very big.
