Highly durable polarization plate and LCD
Technical field
The present invention relates to be used for the polarizer with excellent durability of LCD.The invention still further relates to the LCD of using this polarizer.
Background technology
Recently, usually LCD is used for automobile and mobile phone, and requires LCD under the environment of high temperature or high temperature and humidity, to have reliability.Particularly, when they are used for automobile, need be in the permanance under the very harsh environment, even make their performance under the high temperature exposure in summer, also not cause deterioration.
LCD is following formation normally: two electrode base boards that will have a transparency electrode are settled with the arrangement that their transparency electrode faces with each other, between them, insert liquid crystal, to form liquid crystal cell, polarizer is added on the one or both sides of liquid crystal cell then.As for such polarizer, common following manufacturing polarizer: iodine or dichroic dye are absorbed in the polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), polyvinyl alcohol film is stretched and be orientated, to form polarizing coating, with the fit two sides of the polarizing coating that obtains of the film of celluosic resin, described celluosic resin is typically as triacetyl cellulose (TAC) then.
Because they are permeated by water easily because of their common high water vapour permeabilities, the color of the polarizing coating of being made by celluosic resin is delayed, and under the exposure of damp and hot (anti wet-heat) environment, their tone reversal, or their polarity reduces.
Therefore; the water vapour permeability that reduces polarizer protecting film is attempted: for example; the resin that use is lower than the water vapour permeability of celluosic resin, or provide surface treatment to reduce the water vapour permeability of diaphragm by exposed surface to celluosic resin.
Be the technology that constitutes diaphragm with the resin of low water vapour permeability below: Jap.P. S59-159109A (patent documentation 1) discloses the improvement of polarizer permanance; wherein liquid water content be 5% or two faces of lower polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) polarizing coating on, settling the water vapour permeability as diaphragm is 10g/m 2Density polyethylene film with high or polypropylene screen that it or lower single orientated polymer film, particularly list are orientated; And Jap.P. S60-159704A (patent documentation 2) also discloses the improvement of polarizer permanance, and wherein at least one side of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) polarizing coating, settling water vapour permeability is 55g/m under 80 ℃, 95% relative humidity 2Hr or size change rate lower and after 100 ℃ are heated 30 minutes are-0.3 to 0% transparent protective film, particularly resin molding, described resin such as polymethylmethacrylate, polyethersulfone or polycarbonate.Jap.P. H7-77608A (patent documentation 3) also discloses the improvement of polarizer permanance, and wherein at least one side of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) polarizing coating, the applying water vapour permeability is 200g/m under 80 ℃, 90% relative humidity 224 hours 100 μ m or lower and photoelastic coefficient are 1 * 10 -11Cm 2/ dyne or lower diaphragm, particularly thermoplasticity saturated norbornene resin molding.
Jap.P. 2003-183417A (patent documentation 4) discloses a kind of cellulose ester membrane, wherein by blending plastifier such as abietic resin, epoxy resin, ketone resin or tosyl polyimide resin, making the mass change cellulose esters is handled 48 hours under 80 ± 5 ℃, 90 ± 10% relative humidity after is 0 to 2%, and its water vapour permeability is 50 to 250g/m 224 hours.
Be the technology that the exposed surface of celluosic resin is provided the water vapour permeability of surface treatment to reduce diaphragm below: Jap.P. 2004-53797A (patent documentation 5) discloses; with the anti-reflecting layer of hard organic resin layer and multiple mineral compound with different refractivity with this sequential cascade on the plastic resin substrate; to form anti-reflective film; thereby the value that makes the anti-reflective film that the obtains vapor permeation speed under 60 ℃, 95% relative humidity be the plastic resin substrate vapor permeation speed half or lower, and this is worth and is 500g/m 2/ sky or lower; Disclose a kind of optically functional film with Jap.P. 2004-341541A (patent documentation 6), wherein used CVD (chemical vapor deposition) method on transparent substrate film, to form silicon oxide film with the moist grade of excellent anti.
In this class diaphragm that water vapour permeability is low any one is arranged at least one side of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) polarizing coating, perhaps outermost particularly, and this demonstrates permanance excellent under hygrothermal environment; But if it is exposed under the hot environment of low humidity, this causes the deterioration of its outward appearance, as producing the surface imperfection of tool wrinkle, causes such as the problem to the adverse effect of liquid crystal display displays performance.
For example; Jap.P. 2000-321428A (patent documentation 7) notices; when being mounted with anti-reflecting layer on the surface of polarizer at its diaphragm, it is not enough that its thermotolerance becomes usually, and notice; this causes owing to settling anti-reflecting layer that water vapour permeability is reduced; therefore, in the document, provide a kind of polarizer; even this polarizer has anti-reflecting layer, its water vapour permeability is 10g/m 224 hours or higher.
On the contrary, have such situation, that is, on the surface of the transparent carrier of celluosic resin, the coating of liquid crystalline compound to be to form optical compensating layer, then this optical compensating layer is placed on the side of polarizing coating as diaphragm.In the case, on transparent carrier, form alignment films usually in advance, so that liquid-crystal compounds is positioned on the predetermined direction.For example, Jap.P. H9-179125A (patent documentation 8) discloses, and alignment films is provided on transparent carrier, thereby obtains having the carrier of alignment films, on alignment films, provide the optical anisotropic layer that constitutes by dish-shaped compound (optical compensating layer) then, to form optical compensating gage.
The material that is used for alignment films must be considered their positioning performance, coating performance, optical property and permanance and selection aptly; But, select the material of water tolerance deficiency usually, reason need to be positioning performance and coating performance.For example, above mentioned patent documentation 8 is recommended the material of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) as alignment films.When alignment films or coating are the materials of water tolerance deficiency when constituting, the polarizer that obtains is in the permanance deficiency that contains under the environment of big water gaging, thereby LCD is broken down under high temperature and high humidity.Particularly, when any one deck in the layer that constitutes polarizer makes the adhesive strength deteriorates of their expectations owing to water, remainder the layer when expanding along with the absorption-desorption effect of heat or moisture or shrinking, produce external carbuncle, therefore, described stress makes usually and produces layering between the layer or they are destroyed itself.
