Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、透明性に優れかつ耐擦傷にすぐれたハードコート層を、均一に形成できる塗料組成物及び該組成物を塗布してなるハードコート層を有するハードコートフィルムに関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
液晶ディスプレイ、CRT、プラズマディスプレイ等の各種表示体は、その表面の保護基板を通して視覚情報が観察されるようになっている。特に、液晶ディスプレイでは、光シャッターの役目をする偏光板がディスプレイの最表面に設けられているが、偏光板自体が耐擦傷性に劣るためハード性、防眩性等の機能を、ハードコート層等を設けることにより付与している。
従来より、透明フィルムの上に光拡散剤及び電離放射線硬化型樹脂からなる層を設け、透明フィルム表面に防眩性、ハード性の機能を付与したハードコートフィルムが種々提案されている。このような技術は、例えば特開平1−105738号公報、特開平6−157791公報等に記載されている。
【0003】
特開平1−105738号公報では、フィルム状の偏光素子に添合して偏光板を構成する為の、耐擦傷性、ノングレア性を付与した透明保護フィルムとしてトリアセチルセルロースフィルム(以降TACフィルムと略す)が用いられている。このフィルムは、未ケン化TACフィルムの片面に、紫外線硬化型エポキシアクリレート系樹脂と無定型シリカからなるハードコート層を設けることにより耐擦傷性に優れた防眩性を有するTACフィルムとしている。
【0004】
特開平6−157791号公報では、TACフィルムへの密着性を向上することを目的として、電離放射線硬化型樹脂100重量部に対して溶剤乾燥型樹脂として、セルロース系樹脂を10重量部以上100重量部以下含む塗料組成物をTACフィルム上に塗布し、電離放射線を照射して塗膜を硬化させ耐擦傷性を付与している。
【0005】
近年の表示体の高精細化や大画面化に伴い、塗工層の均一性が重要となっている。また、テレビや屋外にて使用されるケースが増し、画面の輝度の重要性が増してきた。従来、塗工層を均一に形成するため、増粘剤を用いることにより、塗工方式に適した塗料粘度調整が行なわれているが、更に高い透明性を求める場合、増粘剤と樹脂との相溶性が原因となり、目的の透明性が得られないということが生じた。また、増粘剤の種類によっては、ハード性の低下が著しい場合もある。
【0006】
さらに、TACフィルムは、通常、溶液キャスト法で製膜されるため平面性が悪く、かつ透明性が高いため、外観不良なく均一な塗工層を形成する事が非常に困難であった。また、ポリエステルフィルムの透明性改良が進み、外観不良を容易に認識可能となり、TACフィルムと同様のハードコート層の均一性が求められるようになってきた。

【発明が解決しようとする課題】
従って、本発明の目的は透明性に優れかつ、耐擦傷にすぐれたハードコート層を均一に形成できる塗料組成物及び該組成物を塗布してなるハードコート層を有するハードコートフィルムを提供することである。
【0009】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明者らは上記状況に鑑み検討を行った結果、耐擦傷性や基材フィルムとの密着性を低下させる事なく、塗料の粘度を自由に制御できかつ、塗工層の透明性を低下させない増粘剤を見出し、本発明を完成するに至った。
すなわち、本発明の上記目的は、(1)電離放射線硬化型樹脂100重量部に対して平均重量分子量が18000〜80000ありかつブチリル基含量が18〜60重量%であるセルロースアセテートブチレートを0.1重量部以上15重量部未満含有する塗料組成物、(2)透明な支持体上に、(1)の塗料組成物を塗布してなるハードコート層を有するハードコートフィルム、(3)透明な支持体がトリアセチルセルロースである(2)に記載されたハードコートフィルム、(4)透明な支持体がポリエステルフィルムである(2)に記載されたハードコートフィルムによって達成された。
【0010】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明について詳細に説明する。本発明の塗料組成物は少なくとも電離放射線硬化型樹脂、セルロースアセテートブチレート中のブチリル基含量が18〜60重量%であり、分子量が18000〜80000のセルロースアセテートブチレートを必要に応じ溶媒を使用して、混合(溶解又は分散)した物である。使用する溶媒としては例えばトルエン等芳香族類、メタノール、エタノール、イソプロピルアルコール等のアルコール類、メチルセロソルブ、エチルセロソルブ、ブチルセロソルブ等のセロソルブ類等、公知の有機溶剤を混合することで使用できる。透明な支持体がトリアセチルセルロースフィルムである場合は、白化を防ぐためトルエン主成分とした溶媒を用いることが好ましい。さらに、性能改良のため、本発明の効果を変えない範囲で、消泡剤、レベリング剤、帯電防止剤、酸化防止剤、紫外線吸収剤、光安定剤、重合禁止剤等を含有することができる。
【0011】
本発明の電離放射線硬化型樹脂は、電子線又は紫外線等を照射することによって硬化する透明な樹脂であれば特に限定されるものではなく、例えば、ウレタンアクリレート系樹脂、ポリエステルアクリレート系樹脂及びエポキシアクリレート系樹脂等の中から適宜選択することができる。
【0012】
好ましいものとしては分子内に2個以上の(メタ)アクリロイル基を有する紫外線硬化可能な多官能アクリレ−トからなるものがあげられる。分子内に2個以上の(メタ)アクリロイル基を有する紫外線硬化可能な多官能アクリレ−トの具体例としては、ネオペンチルグリコ−ルジ(メタ)アクリレ−ト、1、6ヘキサンジオ−ルジ(メタ)アクリレ−ト、トリメチロ−ルプロパントリ(メタ)アクリレ−ト、ジトリメチロ−ルプロパンテトラ(メタ)アクリレ−ト、ペンタエリスリト−ルテトラ(メタ)アクリレ−ト、ペンタエリスリト−ルトリ(メタ)アクリレ−ト、ジペンタエリスリト−ルヘキサ(メタ)アクリレ−ト等のポリオ−ルポリアクリレ−ト、ビスフェノ−ルAジグリシジルエ−テルのジアクリレ−ト、ネオペンチルグリコ−ルジグリシジルエ−テルのジアクリレ−ト、1、6ヘキサンジオ−ルジグリシジルエ−テルのジ(メタ)アクリレ−トなどのエポキシ(メタ)アクリレ−ト、多価アルコ−ルと多価カルボン酸および/またはその無水物とアクリル酸とをエステル化することによって得ることが出来るポリエステル(メタ)アクリレ−ト、多価アルコ−ル、多価イソシアネ−ト及び水酸基含有(メタ)アクリレ−トを反応させることによって得られるウレタン(メタ)アクリレ−ト、ポリシロキサンポリ(メタ)アクリレ−ト等を擧げることができる。
【0013】
前記の重合性アクリレ−トは単独でもちいてもまたは2種以上混合して用いてもよく、その含有量はハ−ドコ−ト層用塗料の樹脂固形分に対して、好ましくは95〜50重量%である。尚、上記の多官能(メタ)アクリレ−トの他にハ−ドコ−ト層用塗料の樹脂固形分に対して好ましくは10重量%以下の2−ヒドロキシ(メタ)アクリレ−ト、2−ヒドロキシプロピル(メタ)アクリレ−ト、グリシジル(メタ)アクリレ−ト等の単官能アクリレ−トを添加することもできる。
【0014】
またハ−ドコ−ト層には硬度を調整する目的で使用される重合性オリゴマ−を添加することができる。このようなオリゴマ−としては、末端(メタ)アクリレ−トポリメチル(メタ)アクリレ−ト、末端スチリルポリ(メタ)アクリレ−ト、末端(メタ)アクリレ−トポリスチレン、末端(メタ)アクリレ−トポリエチレングリコ−ル、末端(メタ)アクリレ−トアクリロニトリル−スチレン共重合体、末端(メタ)アクリレ−トスチレン−メチルメタクリレ−ト共重合体などのマクロモノマ−を擧げることができ、その含有量はハ−ドコ−ト用塗料中の樹脂固形分に対して、好ましくは50〜5重量%である。
【0015】
本発明においては塗料組成物中に、ゲルパーミエーションクロマトグラフィー(GPC)を用いポリスチレン標準換算により求められた数平均分子量が18000〜80000のセルロースアセテートブチレートを含有することで、塗工方式に適した塗料粘度調整が行なわれる。分子量が小さいと、粘度増加させるための増粘剤の添加量が増え、塗工層のハード性が低下し、大きいと塗料中での相溶性が低下し、塗膜の透明性が低下すると共に塗料粘度増加が著しく塗工適性が低下する。セルロースアセテートブチレートの特に好ましい数平均分子量は30000〜80000である。
【0016】
セルロースアセテートブチレートは、ブチリル基含量により電離放射線硬化型樹脂や塗料組成物中の溶剤との溶解特性が変化し、塗料組成物中に溶解するセルロースアセテートブチレートを適宜選択できる。特に塗料組成物が溶剤系である場合は、セルロースアセテートブチレート中のブチリル基含量が20重量%〜60重量%、更には30重量%〜55重量%のものが好ましく用いられる。
【0017】
本発明において、セルロースアセテートブチレートは電離放射線硬化型樹脂100重量部に対し、0.1重量部以上15重量部未満を含有する。好ましい添加量は1〜10重量部である。含有量が多いと塗料の粘度増加が著しく塗工適性が低下する傾向にあるとともに塗工層のハード性が低下する。また、少ないと効果が発現されない。
【0018】
本発明に使用する透明な支持体は、透明なシ−ト又はフィルム状のものであれば特に制限はなく、例えばガラス製のものやプラスチックフィルムがあげられる。プラスチックフィルムとしては、例えば、ポリエステルフィルム、ポリエチレンフィルム、ポリプロピレンフィルム、セロファンフィルム、ジアセチルセルロースフィルム、トリアセチルセルロースフィルム、アセチルセルロースブチレートフィルム、ポリ塩化ビニルフィルム、ポリ塩化ビニリデンフィルム、ポリビニルアルコールフィルム、エチレンビニルアルコールフィルム、ポリスチレンフィルム、ポリカーボネートフィルム、ポリメチルペンテルフィルム、ポリスルフォンフィルム、ポリエーテルエーテルケトンフィルム、ポリエーテルスルフォンフィルム、ポリエーテルイミドフィルム、ポリイミドフィルム、フッ素樹脂フィルム、ナイロンフィルム、アクリルフィルム等を挙げることが出来るが、本発明においては、特に光学異方性が無いという特徴から液晶表示体に偏光板の部材として広く実用されている、トリアセチルセルロースフィルム(TACフィルム)、及びフラットパネルの表面保護フィルムとして広く実用されているポリエステルフィルムを使用することが好ましい。
【0019】
TACフィルムは、通常、溶液キャスト法で製膜されるため平面性が悪く、かつ透明性が高いため、外観不良なく均一な塗工層を形成する事が非常に困難である。また、ポリエステルフィルムの透明性改良が進み、外観不良を容易に認識可能となり、TACフィルムと同様のハードコート層の均一性が求められる。
本発明においては、このように平面性が悪い、又非常に透明性の高い透明支持体上に均一なハードコート層を形成する際に、特に効果が発現する。
【0020】
本発明のハードコート層は塗料組成物を公知の塗工装置を用いて透明な支持体上に塗工した後、電離放射線を照射して硬化することにより形成される。公知の塗工装置としては、マイクログラビアコーター、グラビアコーター、マイヤーバーコーター、ダイコーター等の塗工装置を使用できる。塗工時の塗料組成物の粘度、濃度は使用する塗工装置により、適切な値に調整できる。本発明の効果が最も顕著に現れるのは塗工時の塗料組成物のB型回転粘度計で測定した粘度(液温20℃)が3.0〜20.0mPa・sのときである。また、塗料組成物はチクソトロピーまたはニュートニアンであることが好ましい。レオペキシーであると塗工不良が発生しやすい。
【0021】

以下に、本発明の塗料組成物及びそれを用いて作成したサンプルの具体的な内容を実施例によって説明すると共に、本塗料組成物及びそれを用いて作成したサンプルを比較例と対比して説明するが、本発明はこれによって限定されるものではない。なお、実施例中の「部」及び「%」は特に明示しない限り、それぞれ「重量部」及び「重量%」を表わす。

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a coating composition capable of uniformly forming a hard coat layer having excellent transparency and excellent scratch resistance, and a hard coat film having a hard coat layer formed by applying the composition.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Various display bodies such as a liquid crystal display, a CRT, and a plasma display allow visual information to be observed through a protective substrate on the surface thereof. In particular, in a liquid crystal display, a polarizing plate serving as an optical shutter is provided on the outermost surface of the display, but since the polarizing plate itself has poor scratch resistance, functions such as hard properties and anti-glare properties are provided by a hard coat layer. And so on.
Hitherto, various hard coat films have been proposed in which a layer made of a light diffusing agent and an ionizing radiation curable resin is provided on a transparent film, and the surface of the transparent film is provided with antiglare and hard functions. Such a technique is described in, for example, JP-A-1-1055738, JP-A-6-157791 and the like.
[0003]
Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open (JP-A) No. 1-1075738 discloses a triacetyl cellulose film (hereinafter abbreviated as a TAC film) as a transparent protective film having scratch resistance and non-glare properties for constituting a polarizing plate by incorporating it into a film-like polarizing element. ) Is used. This film is a TAC film having excellent anti-glare properties and excellent scratch resistance by providing a hard coat layer made of an ultraviolet-curable epoxy acrylate resin and amorphous silica on one surface of an unsaponified TAC film.
[0004]
JP-A-6-157791 discloses that a cellulose-based resin is used in an amount of 10 to 100 parts by weight as a solvent-drying resin with respect to 100 parts by weight of an ionizing radiation-curable resin for the purpose of improving adhesion to a TAC film. Parts or less of the coating composition is applied on a TAC film and irradiated with ionizing radiation to harden the coating to impart scratch resistance.
[0005]
With the recent increase in the definition and the size of the display, the uniformity of the coating layer has become important. In addition, the number of cases used in televisions and outdoors has increased, and the importance of screen brightness has increased. Conventionally, in order to form a uniform coating layer, by using a thickener, paint viscosity adjustment suitable for the coating method has been performed, but when further higher transparency is required, a thickener and a resin , The desired transparency could not be obtained. Further, depending on the type of the thickener, the hardness may be significantly reduced.
[0006]
Further, since the TAC film is usually formed by a solution casting method, the flatness is poor and the transparency is high. Therefore, it was very difficult to form a uniform coating layer without poor appearance. Further, the transparency of the polyester film has been improved, and the appearance defect can be easily recognized, and the same uniformity of the hard coat layer as that of the TAC film has been required.
[0007]

As for the cellulose acetate butyrate, the dissolving properties of the ionizing radiation-curable resin and the solvent in the coating composition change depending on the butyryl group content, and cellulose acetate butyrate soluble in the coating composition can be appropriately selected. In particular, when the coating composition is of a solvent type, those having a butyryl group content in cellulose acetate butyrate of 20% by weight to 60% by weight, more preferably 30% by weight to 55% by weight are preferably used.
[0017]
In the present invention, the cellulose acetate butyrate contains at least 0.1 part by weight and less than 15 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the ionizing radiation-curable resin. The preferred addition amount is 1 to 10 parts by weight. When the content is large, the viscosity of the coating material is increased remarkably, and the coating suitability tends to be lowered, and the hardness of the coating layer is lowered. On the other hand, if the amount is small, the effect is not exhibited.
[0018]
The transparent support used in the present invention is not particularly limited as long as it is a transparent sheet or film, and examples thereof include a glass support and a plastic film. Examples of the plastic film include a polyester film, a polyethylene film, a polypropylene film, a cellophane film, a diacetyl cellulose film, a triacetyl cellulose film, an acetyl cellulose butyrate film, a polyvinyl chloride film, a polyvinylidene chloride film, a polyvinyl alcohol film, and ethylene vinyl. Alcohol film, polystyrene film, polycarbonate film, polymethylpentel film, polysulfone film, polyetheretherketone film, polyethersulfone film, polyetherimide film, polyimide film, fluororesin film, nylon film, acrylic film, etc. However, in the present invention, the optical Because of its lack of properties, it is possible to use a triacetyl cellulose film (TAC film) widely used as a member of a polarizing plate in a liquid crystal display, and a polyester film widely used as a surface protection film of a flat panel. preferable.
[0019]
A TAC film is usually formed by a solution casting method, so that it has poor flatness and high transparency, so that it is very difficult to form a uniform coating layer without poor appearance. Further, the transparency of the polyester film is improved, and the appearance defect can be easily recognized, and uniformity of the hard coat layer similar to that of the TAC film is required.
In the present invention, an effect is particularly exhibited when a uniform hard coat layer is formed on such a transparent support having poor flatness and very high transparency.
[0020]
The hard coat layer of the present invention is formed by applying a coating composition on a transparent support using a known coating apparatus, and then irradiating with ionizing radiation and curing. As a known coating device, a coating device such as a microgravure coater, a gravure coater, a Meyer bar coater, a die coater, or the like can be used. The viscosity and concentration of the coating composition at the time of coating can be adjusted to appropriate values depending on the coating apparatus used. The effect of the present invention appears most remarkably when the viscosity (liquid temperature 20 ° C.) of the coating composition at the time of coating is 3.0 to 20.0 mPa · s as measured by a B-type rotational viscometer. Further, the coating composition is preferably thixotropy or Newtonian. If it is leopexie, coating failure is likely to occur.
