Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a graphics forming sheet comprising a translucent support and a colorant receiving layer adhered to the back surface of the translucent support, and a graphic formed using the same. Display sheet. When the graphics made of the colorant received in the colorant receiving layer are viewed from the support side, they look haze-like, and have an appearance as viewed through frosted glass. On the other hand, when viewed from the colorant receiving layer side (ie, without passing through the support), the contrast between the graphics and the background is improved because the support is not completely transparent, and the sharpness of the graphics is improved. Can be enhanced. The graphics display sheet formed using the graphics forming sheet of the present invention is particularly useful as a decorative sheet for window glass.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As one of the methods for decorating window glass, there is a direct processing to glass by sandblasting, direct painting or the like. However, in this case, it is extremely difficult to return the processed once to the original state or to change to a different design. As a method of decorating the adhesive film by bonding the adhesive film to a window glass, for example, 3M Scothcal (registered trademark) MasterCut
There is also known a method of attaching a translucent adhesive film having a support surface such as Film; However, it was not easy to directly form (print) full-color graphics on the front surface or the back surface of the adhesive film.

[0003] The following films are known as films which enable graphics formation by printing means. For example, in JP-A-1-198384, a graphics-forming sheet in which an adhesive (adhesive) layer is provided on one side of a sheet of a transparent substrate and a graphics-forming layer is provided on the other side, and the same is used. A method for decorating a window glass is disclosed. According to such a method, it is easy to return the once processed one to its original state or to change it to a different design. However, in the above method, since the graphics are exposed on the surface, scratches, stains, and the like are easily formed, and the durability of the graphics is insufficient. Further, since a transparent substrate is used, the contrast between graphics and the background is poor, and the sharpness of graphics cannot be increased.

[0004] JP-A-11-301107 and JP-A-2000-153585 disclose a translucent support having a metal deposition layer on one surface, a coloring material receiving layer capable of receiving a coloring material such as ink, and the like. Using a graphics forming sheet made by laminating, the window glass is shielded from light in a translucent state,
A decoration method for providing a shade feeling is disclosed. According to this method, since the support is not completely transparent, when viewed from the colorant receiving layer side, the contrast between the graphics and the background is improved, and the sharpness of the graphics is relatively improved. In addition, since the graphics can be used in a sealed state between the window glass and the support, the graphics have relatively good outdoor durability. However, when a sheet including a light-shielding metal vapor-deposited layer that gives a shade effect is used, the window glass cannot be given the same texture as various surface-processed glasses processed by sand blasting or the like as described above. Users who use window glass decorative sheets also want a frosted glass appearance that is different from the shade.

Further, in a graphics display sheet having a metal deposition layer (a sheet having graphics), the deterioration of the metal deposition layer is likely to occur when external energy such as ultraviolet rays is continuously applied. Deterioration of the metal layer causes a reduction in light-shielding properties and poor appearance. The deterioration of the metal layer is particularly remarkable when the metal layer is adhered to a glass surface facing outdoors.

[0006]

In the conventional graphics forming sheet, all of the above-mentioned problems can be solved at the same time, that is, (1) once processed, returned to the original state, or changed to a different design. (2) to prevent the graphics from being exposed on the surface and to enhance the outdoor durability of the graphics; (3)
Enhancing the contrast between the graphics and the background when viewed from the colorant receiving layer side, increasing the sharpness of the graphics, and (4) giving the window glass the same texture as various surface-treated glasses. Could not be enabled at the same time. Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a graphics forming sheet that can simultaneously solve the above-mentioned problems (1) to (4).

[0007]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention comprises a) a translucent support having a front surface and a back surface; and (b) a colored support having a front surface and a back surface, the surface being fixed to the back surface of the support. A colorant receiving layer for receiving a material, wherein the colorant received by the colorant receiving layer forms graphics,
The graphics is a graphics forming sheet visible through the support, wherein the support has a light diffusing property, and the colorant receiving layer and the support are in close contact with each other. In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a graphics forming sheet.

[0008]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS [Operation] A graphics forming sheet according to the present invention comprises (a) a translucent support having a front surface and a back surface, and (b) a support having a front surface and a back surface. In the graphics forming sheet fixed to the back surface of the, comprising a colorant receiving layer for receiving a colorant, the support has a light diffusing property, and the colorant receiving layer and the support Are in close contact with each other.

The fact that the support has a light diffusing property enhances the contrast between graphics and the background when viewed from the above-mentioned (3) colorant receiving layer side, and enhances the sharpness of graphics. And (4) it is possible and easy to give the window glass the same texture as various surface-treated glasses. Also, since direct processing on glass is unnecessary,
The above-mentioned problem (1) can be achieved. Further, when a graphics forming sheet having graphics (graphics display sheet) is fixed to an object such as a window glass, the graphics can be used in a sealed state between the object and the support. In addition, the outdoor durability of graphics is enhanced (the above (2) is possible).

In addition, in the graphics forming sheet according to the present invention, since the colorant-receiving layer and the support are in close contact with each other, the light-diffusing support and the graphics (colorant-receiving layer) are provided. There is no decrease in visibility due to poor adhesion to the substrate. When the adhesiveness between the light diffusing support and the graphics decreases, the graphics become difficult to see in a portion with low light transmittance (poor adhesion) or bubbles in the poor adhesion when viewed from the support side. Image defect. Such a decrease in the visibility of graphics due to poor adhesion is more remarkable when the support is a light-diffusing support (in particular, the haze is 30% or more) than when the support is transparent. Therefore, after forming graphics on the colorant-receiving layer, avoid bonding the light-diffusing support so as to cover the graphics. It is better to make them adhere to each other beforehand.

(Graphics Forming Sheet) A preferred example of the graphics forming sheet of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 1 schematically illustrates both a graphics forming sheet of the present invention and a graphics display sheet formed using the same. The illustrated graphics forming sheet is formed by laminating a support (1), a primer layer (2), and a colorant receiving layer (3) in this order, and making them adhere to each other. The support (1) is a polymer film having a light diffusing property, which will be described later in detail.

The colorant receiving layer (3) usually comprises a coating film of a paint containing a polymer having a good affinity for the colorant containing toner or ink. The colorant receiving layer (3) needs to be in close contact with the back surface of the support (1). In the illustrated example, the support (1) and the colorant receiving layer (3)
Are in close contact with each other via the primer layer (2). The primer layer (2) enhances the adhesion between the support (1) and the colorant-receiving layer (3) at the initial stage, and simultaneously removes the colorant-receiving layer from the support during use (that is, over time). Prevent effectively (wholly or partially). The primer layer (2) can be omitted if the coating film for forming the colorant receiving layer and the back surface of the support (1) have good wettability and the coating film adhesion to the support is high.

The graphics forming sheet has a light diffusing property (diffusive transmissivity) as a whole. Light diffusivity is represented by, for example, light transmittance (total light transmittance) and haze (turbidity). Usually, the light transmittance is 30% or more and the haze is 30% when measurement light is incident on the front surface of the support and emitted from the back surface of the colorant receiving layer and measured.
That is all. If the light transmittance is less than 30%, the light-shielding property becomes too high, and it may be difficult to visually recognize graphics from the support. On the other hand, if the haze is less than 30%, the contrast between the graphics and the background (support) as viewed from the colorant receiving layer side may decrease, and the sharpness of the graphics may not be increased. There is a possibility that the same texture as that of various surface-treated glasses cannot be given to the window glass. From such a viewpoint, the light transmittance of the graphics forming sheet is 50% or more,
The haze is preferably 40% or more, and the light transmittance is particularly preferably 60% or more, and the haze is particularly preferably 50% or more.

[0014] In the present specification, "haze" refers to J
It is a value measured using a color meter according to IS K7105 6.4. The “light transmittance” means the total light transmittance measured using a spectrophotometer or a color meter having a photometer function using light of 550 nm.

(Graphics Display Sheet) FIG. 1 also shows a preferred one of the graphics display sheets according to the present invention.
An example is schematically shown. The illustrated graphics display sheet is the graphics forming sheet ((1),
(A laminate comprising (2) and (3)) and graphics (4) formed from the coloring material applied to the back surface of the coloring material receiving layer (3) and received by the coloring material receiving layer (3). Contains.

The colorant is usually fixed and received only on the back surface of the colorant receiving layer (3), or partially penetrates into the colorant receiving layer (3), and the remaining portion of the colorant receiving layer (3) Received so as to protrude from the back surface, or to completely enter the inside of the colorant receiving layer (3);
Either form may be used. Note that the coloring material does not need to be disposed on the entire surface of the coloring material receiving layer (3). In the illustrated example, the adhesive layer (5) is laminated so as to cover the graphics (4) made of the coloring material received in the coloring material receiving layer (3). The adhesive layer (5) is preferably brought into close contact with the coloring material and, when there is a portion where the coloring material is not disposed, with the coloring material receiving layer (3). For example, the adhesive layer (5) is a coating film formed by applying an adhesive to the back surface of the colorant receiving layer (3) after graphics printing. After the graphics printing, the adhesive layer (5) can be formed by laminating a double-sided adhesive tape on the back surface of the colorant-receiving layer (3).

The graphics display sheet of the present invention is used, for example, as a decorative sheet for a window glass by adhering to one surface of a window glass via the above-mentioned adhesive layer. For example, when a graphics display sheet is adhered to the surface facing the outside of a window glass, when viewed by an outdoor observer, it gives the window glass the same texture as various surface-treated glasses including frosted glass, and at the same time, from inside and outside Graphics are visible. In addition, since the graphics can be used in a sealed state between the window glass and the support, the graphics have high outdoor durability. On the other hand, when an indoor observer views the window glass with the same texture as various types of surface-treated glass including frosted glass so that graphics can be viewed from inside and outside the room, the graphics display sheet must be placed inside the window glass. Adhere to the surface facing. In this way, the laminating operation is one in comparison with a case where a graphics forming sheet having graphics formed thereon is pasted to the window glass at the construction site and then a translucent adhesive film is pasted to protect the graphics. Since work is completed, workability can be improved.

The graphics are formed by using ordinary printing means, for example, electrostatic printing, silk printing, gravure printing, offset printing, inkjet printing, etc., using a coloring material containing ordinary printing ink or toner. be able to.

(Support) The support used in the present invention comprises:
It is a diffusion film having light diffusion (diffusion transmission).
Such a diffusion film is usually formed by kneading a polymer film surface with a diffusion surface treatment by matting, embossing, embossing, or sandblasting, and light diffusing particles (white inorganic particles, etc.). A film having a light-diffusing fine convex portion fixed on the surface by a film, gravure coating, or the like can be used. The thickness of the entire diffusion film is generally 5 to 1,000 μm, preferably 10 to 1,000 μm.
７００700 μm.

The light diffusivity of the support is represented by, for example, light transmittance and haze. Usually, the light transmittance is 30% or more and the haze is 30% or more when measuring light is incident on the front surface of the support and emitted from the back surface for measurement. If the light transmittance is less than 30%, it may be difficult to visually recognize graphics from the support.
On the other hand, if the haze is less than 30%, the clarity of graphics when viewed from the colorant receiving layer side may not be improved, and the window glass may have the same texture as various surface-treated glasses. It may not be possible. From such a viewpoint, it is preferable that the light transmittance of the support is 50% or more and the haze is 40% or more, and it is particularly preferable that the light transmittance is 60% or more and the haze is 50% or more. preferable.

The support is, for example, polycarbonate,
It can be formed using a composition containing a polymer such as an acrylic resin, a polyester, an epoxy resin, a polyurethane, a polyvinyl chloride, a polyamide, and a polyolefin. Further, as long as the effects of the present invention are not impaired, the support may be colored or a pattern may be printed on the front or back surface of the support. Furthermore, as long as the effects of the present invention are not impaired, the support may include a film or a layer other than the diffusion film, and it is sufficient that the support has an overall diffusivity. For example,
Other layers include a surface protective layer, an antistatic layer, a transparent support layer (for the purpose of reinforcing the strength), an electromagnetic shield layer, a Limer layer, and the like.

(Coloring Material Receiving Layer) The coloring material receiving layer (hereinafter sometimes simply referred to as “receiving layer”) usually contains a polymer (fixable polymer) capable of fixing printing ink or printing toner. . As such a fixing polymer,
Although those conventionally used in the field of print media can be used as they are, preferably, an ion-modified polymer or a thermoplastic resin as described below is used. For example, when graphics are formed by inkjet printing using an aqueous ink, it is preferable to use an ion-modified polymer as the fixing polymer. Ion-modified polymers are particularly suitable for increasing the water resistance of aqueous printed graphics.

When a graphics display sheet provided with water-based printed graphics is used outdoors for a long period of time, an edge seal is usually performed. The edge sealing is performed, for example, by fixing the display sheet to the surface of the object and then bonding an adhesive tape so as to cover the periphery of the sheet and the surface of the object. When the hydrophilicity of the receiving layer is low and the ink fixing property is low, it cannot be used outdoors for a long time without an edge seal. However, receiving layers containing ion-modified polymers can increase the water resistance of graphics while eliminating the need for such edge seals.

When an ion-modified polymer is used, it is not necessary to include an inorganic fine powder such as an inorganic oxide necessary for imparting ink absorbency to the receiving layer. When the transparency of the receiving layer may be low, or when the receiving layer is to be colored white or other colors as a background (base) of graphics, the ink receiving layer may be coated with inorganic material in an appropriate range. An oxide may be contained.

The ion-modified polymer is, for example, a cation-modified polyurethane, a cation-modified polyester or the like. A colorant-receiving layer comprising an ion-modified polymer is particularly advantageous for increasing the waterfastness of inkjet printed images. As a specific example of such an ion-modified polymer,
"Pateracol (trademark), part number: IJ-170" (a paint containing a cation-modified polyurethane and inorganic fine powder) and "Pateracol (trademark), part number: IJ" available from Dainippon Ink and Chemicals, Inc. -21 "(cation-modified polyurethane-containing paint containing no inorganic fine powder) and the like. Here, the inorganic fine powder is
It is used for the purpose of increasing the porosity of the receiving layer to increase the ink absorption.

When an aqueous ink is used, the receiving layer may contain a water-soluble salt as a coagulant. As such salts, polyvalent metal salts of organic acids or inorganic acids are suitable. This is because the coagulation action is relatively high, and the effect of simultaneously improving the quick drying property and the water resistance of the fixed ink image is excellent.
As polyvalent metal ions, aluminum, titanium, zirconium, zinc, magnesium, calcium, iron, copper,
One or two or more of tin, cobalt and the like can be used in combination. Suitably as an example of an inorganic acid,
Sulfuric acid, nitric acid, or hydrochloric acid. Preferably, the inorganic acid salt is aluminum sulfate.

The amount of the coagulant contained in the receptor layer is usually 1 to 70 parts by weight, preferably 3 to 50 parts by weight, based on 100 parts by weight of the ink fixing polymer. If the amount of the coagulant is too small, the ink fixing power may be reduced, and water resistance and color development may be reduced. Conversely, if the amount is too large, bleeding of the ink image may occur.

The receiving layer may contain an inorganic fine powder, if necessary, to increase the porosity of the receiving layer. As the inorganic fine powder, calcium carbonate, calcined clay, silica (including amorphous silica), diatomaceous earth, talc, titanium oxide, barium sulfate and the like can be used. The particle size of the fine powder is usually 0.3 to 10 μm, preferably 0.8 to 10 μm.
５5 μm. In addition, other additives,
For example, a heat stabilizer, an ultraviolet absorber, a dispersant, an antistatic agent, an antioxidant, and the like can be added.

The colorant-receiving layer as the ink-receiving layer is formed, for example, by applying and drying a liquid containing a coagulant and a fixing polymer. In that case, it is preferable to use water or alcohol as the solvent. Further, a usual coater, for example, a bar coater, a knife coater, a roll coater, a die coater or the like can be used for the coating apparatus.

When an image is formed by an electrostatic printing method, the toner receiving layer (colorant receiving layer) is made of a thermoplastic resin as a fixing polymer so that thermal transfer and heat fixing of the toner can be easily performed on the printing surface. It is preferred to contain. Such a thermoplastic resin is a resin that can be melted at the temperature of thermal transfer and thermal fixing of the toner, and is preferably a resin of the same type as the binder resin of the toner. For example, as the thermoplastic resin as described above, it is preferable to use a vinyl chloride polymer (including a copolymer such as a vinyl chloride-vinyl acetate copolymer), an acrylic polymer, and a saturated polyester.

The toner receiving layer is also formed by applying and drying a paint containing a toner fixing polymer. In that case, it is preferable to use water or alcohol as the solvent. Further, a usual coater, for example, a bar coater, a knife coater, a roll coater, a die coater or the like can be used for the coating apparatus.

The haze (turbidity) of the colorant receiving layer is preferably 20% or less, particularly preferably 15% or less, and the light transmittance is preferably 70% or more, particularly preferably 80%. That is all. When the transparency of the colorant-receiving layer is low, the light-shielding property becomes too high, and it may be difficult to visually recognize graphics from the support side.

The thickness of the colorant receiving layer is usually from 5 to 200 μm.
m, preferably 10 to 100 μm. If the receiving layer is too thin, when ink is used, the ink absorbing ability may be insufficient, and the color developability of the image may be reduced. On the other hand, if it is too thick, the surface area of the edge portion becomes unnecessarily large, and the water resistance may be reduced.

(Primer Layer) As described above, in order to enhance the adhesion between the receiving layer and the support, it is preferable to fix the receiving layer to the surface of the support via the primer layer. For example,
After the primer layer is fixedly arranged on the surface of the support where the primer is arranged (the back surface of the support), a paint for forming a colorant receiving layer is applied to form a receiving layer. The primer layer usually contains a primer polymer, and a polymer having an affinity for both the support and the receiving layer is appropriately selected. For example, when the receiving layer contains ion-modified polyester or ion-modified polyurethane and the support is a polymer sheet containing an acrylic polymer, the primer polymer is preferably an aminoethylated polymer. As a result, the water resistance of the image recorded with the aqueous ink is increased, and at the same time, the adhesion between the receiving layer and the support is improved, and the outdoor durability can be particularly effectively increased. The aminoethylated polymer is a polymer in which a primary amino group (—NH ₂ ) is introduced into a molecule by a method using ethyleneimine. In general, the case where a primary amino group is introduced by ring-opening addition of ethyleneimine is particularly called "aminoethylation". Therefore, in the present specification, the thus obtained 1
Polymers having a secondary amino group in the molecule are referred to as aminoethylated polymers or aminoethylated resins.

When the receiving layer contains an ion-modified polyester or an ion-modified polyurethane as described above, and the support is (i) a polymer sheet containing a vinyl chloride-based polymer, or (ii) a polymer sheet containing a polyester. For the same reason as above, the primer polymer is preferably a saturated polyester. If the base material polyester is polyethylene terephthalate (PE)
T), polyethylene naphthalate (PEN), polyethylene terephthalate copolymer (Co-PET) comprising ethylene terephthalate units and other copolymer units, polyethylene naphthalate copolymer comprising ethylene naphthalate units and other copolymer units Such as a polymer (Co-PEN),
In the case of a phthalate-based polyester having a repeating unit derived from phthalic acid and / or naphthalene acid in the molecule, it is preferable to use such a primer in order to enhance the adhesion to the receptor layer. As the saturated polyester, a linear polyester is preferable.
Those with g higher than 50 ° C. are particularly preferred. As long as the effects of the present invention are not impaired, the saturated polyester can be crosslinked by adding a crosslinking agent such as an isocyanate compound.

On the other hand, the primer polymer may be a mixture (polymer blend). For example, a primer layer containing a blend of a urethane elastomer and another polymer can be formed to increase the adhesion between the colorant-receiving layer containing the ion-modified polyurethane and the support. Urethane elastomers are elastomers made of polyurethane obtained by polymerizing starting materials containing polyol and diisocyanate.

The thickness of the primer layer is usually from 0.1 to 30.
μm, preferably 0.5 to 10 μm. Further, the haze of the primer layer is preferably 20% or less, particularly preferably 15% or less, and the light transmittance is usually 85% or more, preferably 90% or more.

The primer layer is usually formed by applying a liquid containing a primer polymer on the surface to be coated of the support and solidifying (hardening or drying). As the coating device, a usual coater, for example, a bar coater, a naf coater, a roll coater, a die coater, or the like can be used.
