The light scattering film exhibits better scattering characteristics as the refractive index difference between the base resin and the fine particles increases, and further the particle size of the fine particles. And particle size distribution are greatly affected.
However, conventional light scattering films are not fully satisfactory in terms of light scattering characteristics and surface smoothness.

まず、本発明の光散乱膜用組成物について説明する。
微粒子の屈折率をn1、透明樹脂の屈折率をn2とすると、光散乱膜はn1>n2型とn1<n2型に分類されるが、本発明の光散乱膜用組成物は、n1>n2型に属するものである。

First, the composition for light scattering films of the present invention will be described.
When the refractive index of the fine particles is n1 and the refractive index of the transparent resin is n2, the light scattering film is classified into n1> n2 type and n1 <n2 type, but the composition for light scattering film of the present invention has n1> n2. Belongs to a type.
The fine particles having a refractive index of 1.51 or more and 3.00 or less contained in the composition for light scattering film of the present invention have an average primary particle diameter of 0.8 to 5.0 μm, preferably 1.0 to 2. 0.7 μm, the coefficient of variation is 6.0 to 20.0%, preferably 6.5 to 18.0%, and the average particle size of the dispersed particles is 0.8 to 5.0 μm, preferably 1.

The variation coefficient of the primary particles of the fine particles is a percentage obtained by dividing the standard deviation value of the diameter of 100 particles by the average value. The average particle size and variation coefficient of the dispersed particles of fine particles are measured and calculated by a laser diffraction particle size distribution measuring device.

また、光散乱膜用組成物の塗布膜厚は、0.2〜5.0μm(乾燥時)の範囲であることが好ましく、塗工性と光散乱特性のバランスが良好なことから0.5〜3.5μmの範囲であることがより好ましい。
The surface roughness (Ra) of the light scattering film must be 300 mm or less. When the surface roughness (Ra) of the light scattering film exceeds 300 mm, the light scattering is disturbed.
Further, the coating film thickness of the light scattering film composition is preferably in the range of 0.2 to 5.0 μm (during drying), and the balance between coating property and light scattering characteristics is 0.5. More preferably, it is in the range of ˜3.5 μm.

アルカリ現像液としては、炭酸ナトリウム、水酸化ナトリウム等の水溶液が使用され、ジメチルベンジルアミン、トリエタノールアミン等の有機アルカリを用いることもできる。また、現像液には、消泡剤や界面活性剤を添加することもできる。
なお、活性エネルギー線による露光感度を上げるために、光散乱膜用組成物を塗布乾燥後、水溶性あるいはアルカリ可溶性樹脂、例えばポリビニルアルコールや水溶性アクリル樹脂等を塗布乾燥し酸素による重合阻害を防止する膜を形成した後、組成物塗布面側から活性エネルギー線を照射することもできる。
As the alkali developer, an aqueous solution such as sodium carbonate or sodium hydroxide is used, and an organic alkali such as dimethylbenzylamine or triethanolamine can also be used. Moreover, an antifoamer and surfactant can also be added to a developing solution.
In order to increase the exposure sensitivity with active energy rays, after applying and drying the composition for light scattering film, water-soluble or alkali-soluble resin such as polyvinyl alcohol or water-soluble acrylic resin is applied and dried to prevent polymerization inhibition by oxygen. After the film to be formed is formed, active energy rays can be irradiated from the composition application surface side.

活性エネルギー線としては、電子線、紫外線、400〜500nmの可視光を使用することができる。組成物塗布面側から照射する電子線の線源には、熱電子放射銃、電界放射銃等を使用することができる。また、紫外線および400〜500nmの可視光の線源(光源)には、例えば、高圧水銀灯、超高圧水銀灯、メタルハライド灯、ガリウム灯、キセノン灯、カーボンアーク灯等を使用することができる。具体的には、点光源であること、輝度が安定であることから、超高圧水銀ランプ、キセノン水銀ランプが用いられることが多い。組成物塗布面側から照射する活性エネルギー線量は、5〜1000mJの範囲で適時設定できるが、工程上管理しやすい20〜300mJの範囲であることが好ましい。   As the active energy ray, an electron beam, ultraviolet rays, or visible light of 400 to 500 nm can be used. A thermionic emission gun, a field emission gun, or the like can be used as the electron beam source irradiated from the composition application surface side. Moreover, for example, a high pressure mercury lamp, an ultrahigh pressure mercury lamp, a metal halide lamp, a gallium lamp, a xenon lamp, a carbon arc lamp, or the like can be used as a source (light source) of ultraviolet rays and visible light of 400 to 500 nm. Specifically, since it is a point light source and the luminance is stable, an ultrahigh pressure mercury lamp or a xenon mercury lamp is often used. The active energy dose irradiated from the composition application surface side can be set in a timely range of 5 to 1000 mJ, but is preferably in the range of 20 to 300 mJ that is easy to manage in the process.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described by way of examples. In the examples, “parts” and “%” represent “parts by weight” and “% by weight”, respectively. In addition, the average particle size and coefficient of variation of the primary particles of fine particles can be measured by observing the particles with an optical microscope (OLYMPUS "BX60") and using image analysis / measurement software (Mitani Corporation "Mac Scope"). The diameter of each was measured and calculated. The coefficient of variation is a percentage obtained by dividing the standard deviation value of the primary particle diameter by the average value. The average particle size and coefficient of variation of the dispersed particles were measured with a laser diffraction particle size distribution analyzer (“Mastersizer 2000” manufactured by Malvern). Here, the standard deviation value used for the calculation of the coefficient of variation was a uniformity value.

The composition for a light scattering film having the following formulation containing the obtained resin fine particle dispersion was mixed using a multi shaker (“MMS-310” manufactured by Eiler) and spin coated on a 100 mm × 100 mm × 1.1 mm glass plate. After coating at 70 ° C. for 20 minutes, using an ultra-high pressure mercury lamp, it was exposed to ultraviolet light at an integrated light amount of 150 mJ and heated at 230 ° C. for 1 hour to form a light scattering film of about 3 μm.
