Description

  The present invention relates to a low reflection transparent plate for covering an exhibit and a display case using the same, and more specifically, a low reflectance is realized by a specific surface structure, and the exhibit is easily visible from the outside. The present invention relates to a low reflection transparent plate and an exhibition case using the same.

  When viewing exhibits such as paintings, photographs, and three-dimensional objects from the outside through a transparent plate, the lighting and scenery on the outside are reflected on the transparent plate, or the transparent plate appears white and hazy, There was a problem that it was difficult to see the exhibits inside. This is due to the high reflectance of the surface of the transparent plate covering the front surface of the exhibit.

  In general, as a method for reducing the reflectance of a transparent plate, for example, (1) incident external light is scattered on a surface on which irregularities are formed by spraying fine particles on the surface, thereby suppressing reflection. An anti-glare (non-glare) method, (2) a dry coating method in which dielectric thin films are formed in a multilayer in a vacuum, and (3) a wet coating method in which a low refractive index material is applied to the surface are known.

  As an example of application of such a transparent plate for reflectivity, a technique is known in which a non-glare-treated plastic substrate is used for preventing reflection as a front panel of a display panel (for example, Patent Document 1). ).

  However, in (1) above, the haze increases, so that if the distance between the exhibit and the transparent plate is increased, the exhibit may be blurred or the outline of the exhibit may appear blurred, making it difficult to see the exhibit clearly. There was a case. This phenomenon is known as the shower curtain effect. In (2) above, transparent plates and exhibits may be colored due to wavelength dispersion. In addition, in the above (3), a sufficiently low reflectance may not be obtained. As described above, any of the methods has a fundamental problem.

  On the other hand, as an antireflection film used for ensuring the visibility of flat panel displays such as liquid crystal display (LCD) and plasma display (PDP), etc., (4) low reflectivity by adding a fine structure to the surface A technique for expressing the above is known (Patent Documents 2 to 10). This fine structure is also called a moth-eye structure (a moth-eye structure), and has a conical or spindle-shaped protrusion or depression having a height of about several tens to about 1000 nm on the surface. It is.

However, it has not been known to use a transparent plate having a moth-eye structure on the surface of the display.
Utility Model Registration No. 3093957 JP-A-9-193332 Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2003-162205 JP 2003-215314 A JP 2004-004515 A JP 2004-059820 A Japanese Patent Laying-Open No. 2005-010231 Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2005-092099 JP 2007-199522 A International Publication WO / 2007/040159

  The present invention has been made in view of the above-described background art, and a problem thereof is to provide a display case that can prevent reflection and make it easy to see the exhibits in the interior. It is to provide a reflective transparent plate.

  As a result of intensive studies to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present inventor uses a low-reflection transparent plate in which a low reflectance is realized by a moth-eye effect in which a fine structure of the surface is expressed in an exhibition case. The present invention has been completed by finding that the exhibits in the inside can be seen very easily.

  That is, the present invention is a transparent plate that is laid over the exhibit so that the exhibit can be seen from the outside, and has a low reflectivity realized by the moth-eye effect that expresses the fine structure of the surface. The low reflection transparent board characterized by this is provided.

  The present invention also provides an exhibition case characterized in that the exhibit is provided with the low reflection transparent plate so that the exhibit can be seen from the outside.

  According to the present invention, the illumination or scenery outside the case is not reflected on the transparent plate covering the exhibition, or the transparent plate does not appear white and hazy. It is possible to protect the exhibits from the outside world while keeping the viewable. In addition, due to the specific surface structure for realizing the low reflectance, the transparent plate and the exhibit are in close contact with each other, and the distance between the transparent plate and the exhibit in it is increased. Even in such a case, it is possible to provide a low-reflection transparent plate that does not blur the display of the exhibit or blur the outline of the display due to the shower curtain effect or the like.

  Furthermore, it has no color and has a sufficient surface hardness. In this way, the anti-reflection performance is excellent, and even if the distance between the transparent plate and the exhibit is large, the exhibit is clearly visible, and in principle, there is no coloring and the surface hardness is sufficient. The low-reflection transparent plate of the invention is very well matched to an application for an exhibition case, that is, an overlaid display.

  Hereinafter, the present invention will be described, but the present invention is not limited to the following specific embodiments, and can be arbitrarily modified within the scope of the technical idea.

  The low reflection transparent plate of the present invention is a transparent plate that is laid over the exhibit so that the exhibit can be seen from the outside, and the low reflectance is realized by the moth-eye effect that expresses the fine structure of the surface. It is characterized by being.

<Transparent plate>
Here, the “transparent plate” has a substantially uniform thickness and protects the exhibit from the outside world or prevents the liquid from flowing out when the exhibit is present in the liquid. It is to be overlaid on the object. The transmittance of a transparent plate (before being formed) having a microstructure that exhibits the moth-eye effect on the surface (before formation) is such that the exhibit can be seen from the outside. However, in consideration of the case where the inside is made to appear dark or colored consciously, the transmittance at the wavelength having the largest transmittance in the wavelength region of 430 to 780 nm is 10%. % Or more is preferable because the effects of the present invention can be easily achieved, more preferably 30% or more, and particularly preferably 90% or more.

  The transparent plate may be colored or any color as long as it is transparent. However, it is preferable that the transparent plate is colorless because the exhibit can be seen as it is and the effects of the present invention can be exhibited more remarkably. The size of the transparent plate is not particularly limited as long as it can be covered with the exhibition inside, and includes a small size of cm order to a large size of several meters. Further, the entire shape of the transparent plate includes not only a quadrangle such as a rectangle but also any shape such as a triangle, a polygon, a circle, and an ellipse. Further, the thickness of the transparent plate is not particularly limited as long as it can be satisfactorily covered with the exhibit.

  “To be covered by the exhibition” means that a transparent plate covers the exhibition so that the outside observer can see the exhibition inside, and the front, back, side, top, It may be covered on any surface of the lower surface, and may be covered on a plurality of surfaces. The covering with the transparent plate may be a flat transparent plate covering the exhibit, or a structure bent or curved in a cylindrical shape, a spherical shape or the like may cover the exhibit.

  Examples of the material for the low reflection transparent plate include synthetic resins and inorganic substances. The synthetic resin is not particularly limited as long as it is transparent. For example, vinyl resins such as polystyrene resins, poly (meth) acrylate resins, polyethylene resins, and polypropylene resins; polyester resins such as polyethylene terephthalate; polycarbonate Resin, cellulose derivatives such as triacetyl cellulose; epoxy resin; silicone resin and the like. Moreover, as an inorganic substance, glass etc. are mentioned, for example.

Among these, in the present invention, a photograph, a painting, a print, a calligraphic print, a printed matter, a three-dimensional object, a noble metal, a jewel, and the like are particularly preferable because the effects of the present invention are more easily exhibited.

<Microstructure with moth-eye effect>
In the present invention, the “moth eye effect” refers to an effect that the reflectance at a wavelength in the visible region is reduced by a surface fine structure generally called a “Moth Eye structure”.

  The microstructure of the surface of the low reflection transparent plate of the present invention is not particularly limited as long as it has a moth-eye effect, but has a convex portion having an average height of 100 nm to 1000 nm or a concave portion having an average depth of 100 nm to 1000 nm. It is preferable that the convex portion or the concave portion is present at an average period of 50 nm or more and 400 nm or less with respect to at least one direction.

  Here, the convex portion refers to a portion protruding from the reference surface, and the concave portion refers to a portion recessed from the reference surface. The low reflection transparent plate of the present invention may have a convex portion or a concave portion on the surface thereof. Moreover, you may have both a convex part and a recessed part, Furthermore, you may have the structure where they connected and waved.

  It is preferable that the convex portions or the concave portions are uniformly present on the entire surface of the low reflection transparent plate in order to achieve the above-described physical properties. In the case of a convex part, the average height from the reference surface is preferably 100 nm or more and 1000 nm or less, and also in the case of a concave part, the average depth from the reference surface is 100 nm or more and 1000 nm. The following is preferable. The height or depth may not be constant, and the average value only needs to be within the above range, but preferably has a substantially constant height or a constant depth.

  In the case of a convex part or a concave part, the average height or average depth is preferably 150 nm or more, particularly preferably 200 nm or more. Moreover, it is preferable that it is 600 nm or less, and it is especially preferable that it is 500 nm or less. If the average height or the average depth is too small, good optical properties may not be exhibited, and if it is too large, production may be difficult. In the case where the convex part and the concave part are connected and have a wavy structure, the average distance between the highest part (above the convex part) and the deepest part (below the concave part) may be 100 nm or more and 1000 nm or less. It is preferable for the same reason.

  In the fine structure of the surface of the low reflection transparent plate of the present invention, it is preferable that the convex portions or the concave portions are arranged so that an average period in at least one direction is 50 nm or more and 400 nm or less. The convex part or the concave part may be arranged at random or may be arranged with regularity. In any case, it is preferable in terms of antireflection properties and transmission improvement properties that the convex portions or the concave portions are disposed substantially uniformly over the entire surface of the low reflection transparent plate. Further, it is only necessary that the average period be at least 50 nm to 400 nm in one direction, and the average period does not have to be 50 nm to 400 nm in all directions.

  When the convex portion or the concave portion is arranged with almost regularity, as described above, it is preferable that the average period in at least one direction is arranged to be 50 nm or more and 400 nm or less, It is more preferable that the period in the direction with the shortest period (hereinafter referred to as “x-axis direction”) is 50 nm or more and 400 nm or less. That is, it is more preferable that the period is in the above range when the direction having the shortest period is taken as one direction. Further, at that time, it is particularly preferable that the period of the y-axis direction perpendicular to the x-axis direction is also set to be 50 nm or more and 400 nm or less.

  The average period (“period” when there is regularity in the location of the protrusions or recesses) is preferably 50 nm or more, more preferably 100 nm or more, and particularly preferably 150 nm or more. Moreover, although 400 nm or less is preferable, 300 nm or less is more preferable, and 200 nm or less is especially preferable. If the average period is too short or too long, low reflectance may not be sufficiently realized.

  The value obtained by dividing the average height or the average depth by the average period is not particularly limited, but 1 or more is preferable in terms of optical properties, 1.5 or more is more preferable, and 2 or more is particularly preferable. Moreover, 5 or less is preferable in that the manufacturing process of the low reflection transparent plate does not become too complicated, and 3 or less is particularly preferable.

<Physical properties of surface with fine structure>
The low reflection transparent plate of the present invention has the above structure on the surface, thereby reducing the light reflectance or improving the light transmittance. The “light” in this case is light including at least light having a wavelength in the visible light region.

  In the present invention, the reflectance after correcting the visibility of the surface having a fine structure exhibiting the moth-eye effect is preferably 0.3% or less, more preferably 0.2% or less, and 0.1% or less. It is particularly preferable (see FIG. 3 of Measurement Example 1). The reflectance can be achieved by having a fine structure having a moth-eye effect on the surface. In the case of a smooth surface of normal glass or transparent synthetic resin, the reflectance after the visibility correction is about 4%.

  Here, “reflectance” refers to regular reflectance and refers to the ratio of the intensity of reflected light to the intensity of incident light. Specifically, a 5 ° regular reflectance measured using a general-purpose spectrophotometer is used. “Surface reflectance” refers to both the reflectance at the surface when light is incident on the transparent plate from the outside and the reflectance at the surface when light is incident from the inside to the outside of the transparent plate. That is, in any of these, those having the above reflectance are preferable.

  “Reflectance after visibility correction” refers to the reflectance after weight correction for the wavelength at which the human eye feels bright, and a normal visibility correction filter is attached to the light meter to adjust the light intensity to the human eye. It is obtained by correcting in accordance with the sensitivity (standard relative luminous sensitivity curve). Specifically, the measured spectral reflectance is obtained by numerical calculation using a color matching function and a standard illuminant by the method shown in CIE1931.

  In the present invention, the 5 ° regular reflectance at 550 nm of the surface having a fine structure exhibiting the moth-eye effect is preferably 0.5% or less, more preferably 0.3% or less, and 0.15% or less. It is particularly preferred that The reflectance can be achieved by having a fine structure having a moth-eye effect on the surface. In the case of a smooth surface of normal glass or transparent synthetic resin, the 5 ° regular reflectance at 550 nm is about 4%.

<Structure and physical properties of low reflection transparent plate>
The low reflection transparent plate of the present invention may have (1) a fine structure exhibiting a moth-eye effect only on the front surface (outer surface) of the low reflection transparent plate, and (2) the rear surface of the low reflection transparent plate (exhibition) (3) The structure may be provided on both the front and back surfaces of the low-reflection transparent plate. Among these, (3) the front and back sides of the low-reflection transparent plate may be provided. It is preferable that both sides have a fine structure exhibiting a moth-eye effect because it can prevent the reflection of illumination on the transparent plate and the phenomenon that the transparent plate becomes white due to reflection and makes it easy to see the exhibits inside.

  Regarding the transmittance of the low reflection transparent plate of the present invention, a transparent plate (a transparent plate before being formed) having a fine structure on the surface or a transparent plate before applying a reflection reducing film described later is visible region. By forming a fine structure having a moth-eye effect on the surface (one or both sides, preferably both sides) of an ordinary colorless and transparent synthetic resin plate having a transmittance of 90 to 92% in a wavelength range of 380 to 780 nm. The transmittance 90 to 92% in the certain wavelength region can be increased to 96% to 98% (see FIG. 4 of Measurement Example 1). The low-reflection transparent plate of the present invention preferably has a transmittance of 93% or more, preferably 95% or more in all wavelength regions of 430 to 780 nm (preferably in all wavelength regions of 380 to 780 nm). Is more preferably 96% or more, still more preferably 98% or more. According to the present invention, the above transmittance can be realized.

  The transmittance on the short wavelength side (380 to 430 nm) in the transmittance spectrum of FIG. 4 is drastically decreased due to the absorption of the substrate on which the reflection reducing film is attached. That is, the transmittance is reduced due to another factor of absorption of the substrate, and the moth-eye effect described above is also achieved in the wavelength range (380 to 430 nm) where the transmittance of FIG. Yes. This is also clear from the fact that in FIG. 3, the 5 ° regular reflectance is reduced in all the visible region (380 to 780 nm).

  The haze of the low reflection transparent plate of the present invention is not particularly limited, but is preferably 10% or less, more preferably 5% or less, and particularly preferably 2% or less. The haze is a percentage of the diffuse transmittance with respect to the total light transmittance, and the haze in the present invention is defined as a value measured according to an evaluation method described later. If the haze is too large, it may be difficult to see the exhibits inside when the low reflection transparent plate of the present invention is used for a display case. This tendency is particularly remarkable when the distance between the exhibit and the low reflection transparent plate is large. In addition, the haze of what was obtained by the anti-glare (non-glare) method is usually larger than 10%, which is extremely inferior to the present invention. Since the low reflection transparent plate of the present invention has no “shower curtain effect” caused by an increase in haze, it is particularly useful when the distance between the exhibit and the low reflection transparent plate is long.

  In the production of a mold for forming a fine structure, which will be described later, when the surface of an aluminum material is polished prior to anodization, a low reflection transparent plate obtained using the obtained mold has a haze. Can be made smaller, and the light transmission performance can be remarkably improved.

<Preparation of low reflection transparent plate>

It may be bonded to one side or both sides of the resin plate. Rather than forming the fine structure on the transparent plate itself, it is possible to form the fine structure by separately preparing a reflection reducing film and bonding it to one or both sides of a transparent glass plate or a transparent synthetic resin plate. It is preferable because it is easy. In addition, the anti-reflection film can be bonded to both sides of a transparent glass plate or transparent synthetic resin plate to prevent the reflection of lighting on the transparent plate and the phenomenon that the transparent plate becomes white due to reflection. It is particularly preferable in that the object can be easily seen.

<Method for forming a fine structure exhibiting a moth-eye effect>
There is no particular limitation on the method of forming the microstructure that exhibits the moth-eye effect, but the mold having a microstructure in which the concavities and convexities are reversed is applied to a “microstructure formation” such as a hot-melt thermoplastic resin or glass, a curable resin before curing A formation method in which the “material” is poured and the mold is transferred is preferable in that a suitable fine structure is obtained. A transparent plate may be produced with a microstructure forming material (the mold is transferred to form the microstructure directly on the surface of the transparent plate itself), or a reflection reducing film may be produced with the microstructure forming material (the mold is transferred to the transparent plate). A reflection reduction film having the fine structure on the surface thereof is prepared), and as described above, the obtained reflection reduction film may be bonded to a transparent glass plate or a transparent synthetic resin plate.

  The etching method can be used without particular limitation as long as it is a generally known method. For example, as the etching solution, an acid solution such as phosphoric acid, nitric acid, acetic acid, sulfuric acid, chromic acid, or a mixture thereof can be used. Phosphoric acid and nitric acid are preferable, and phosphoric acid is more preferable in that a necessary dissolution rate can be obtained and a more uniform surface can be obtained.

  Hereinafter, the present invention will be described more specifically with reference to production examples and examples. However, the present invention is not limited to these examples as long as the gist thereof is not exceeded.

Production Example 1
<Production of mold>
As an aluminum material, a 99.85% rolled aluminum plate (thickness 2 mm) is polished for 10 minutes using a single-sided flat buffing machine (manufactured by Speedfam) using an alumina-based abrasive (manufactured by Fujimi Abrasives). A mirror surface was obtained. The polished surface was scrubbed and then subjected to non-erodible degreasing treatment.

Furthermore, a mold having tapered pores was produced by a combination of the following anodic oxidation conditions and the following etching (pore diameter expansion) treatment conditions for the formed anodic oxide coating.
<Conditions for anodization>
Working solution: 0.05M oxalic acid voltage: DC voltage temperature of 80V: 5 ° C
Time: 50 seconds

<Etching conditions>

<Preparation of reflection reducing film>
After the release agent is applied to the surface of the mold, the photocurable composition (a) is applied, a TAC film having a thickness of 80 μm is further disposed thereon, and the photocurable composition is passed between rollers. The film thickness of (a) was made uniform, and the photocurable composition (a) was sufficiently spread over the surface of the mold. Thereafter, UV light was irradiated from the TAC film at 1 mJ / cm ² to cure the photocurable composition (a), and then mechanically peeled off from the mold. In this way, a reflection reduction film having a fine structure having a moth-eye effect on the surface was produced.

  Almost a fine structure was obtained by transferring the mold as it was. That is, a mold having an anodized film surface having tapered pores having a width of 160 nm at the bottom of the convex portion, a width of 50 nm at the top of the convex portion, and an average height of the convex portion of 500 nm was obtained. The average period was 300 nm. The photograph which observed the surface of the obtained reflection reduction film with the scanning electron microscope is shown in FIG.

Measurement example 1
<Measurement of 5 ° specular reflectance>
A polarizing plate with a crossed Nicol arrangement is pasted on the back surface (the surface without the fine structure) of the reflection reducing film prepared as described above, and a 5 ° specular reflection of the surface is performed using a self-recording spectrophotometer UV-3150 manufactured by Shimadzu Corporation. The rate (%) was measured. The result is shown in FIG. As is apparent from FIG. 3, the 5 ° regular reflectance at wavelengths of 380 nm to 780 nm was extremely low at any wavelength of 380 nm to 780 nm. In addition, the 5 degree regular reflectance of the surface of a general-purpose colorless and transparent acrylic board or the colorless and transparent acrylic board used below is usually 4% or more at any wavelength of 380 nm to 780 nm.

<Measurement of reflectance after correction of visibility>
From the 5 ° specular reflection spectrum shown in FIG. 3, the reflectance corrected with the visibility using the color matching function and the standard illuminant D65 according to CIE1931 was obtained. The reflectance after the visibility correction was 0.09%. there were.

<Measurement of transmittance>
Moreover, the surface without a fine structure was affixed on both surfaces of a 2 mm thick colorless and transparent acrylic plate, respectively, to produce a low reflection transparent plate. The transmittance spectrum (%) of the acrylic plate itself and the obtained low-reflection transparent plate was measured using a self-recording spectrophotometer UV-3150 manufactured by Shimadzu Corporation. The result is shown in FIG.

  In the case of an acrylic plate that does not have a reflection-reducing film, the transmittance is 91 to 92% over the entire wavelength range of 480 nm to 780 nm, but the reflection-reducing film obtained above is applied to both front and rear surfaces of the acrylic plate. When attached, the transmittance of the low reflection transparent plate could be improved to around 97 to 98%.

Example 1
A picture was used as an exhibit, and a frame for storing the picture and the low reflection transparent plate produced above (L = 0 (cm)) was prepared (FIG. 5). When the painting was observed from the front and diagonally in front of the forehead, the transparent plate was not reflected, it did not become hazy, and the lighting was not reflected.

Example 2
A forehead for storing the painting in a form separated from the low reflection transparent plate prepared above (L = 5 cm) was prepared (FIGS. 6 and 7). When the painting was observed from the front of the forehead and diagonally in front, the transparent plate was not reflected or whited, and the lighting was not reflected and reflected, so the inside painting could be clearly seen.

Example 3
A low reflection transparent plate produced by the above production method was set on the upper surface of a specimen box having a length of 50 cm, a width of 35 cm, and a depth of 10 cm (L = 7 cm) (FIG. 8). When the specimen was observed from directly above and obliquely from above, it was possible to clearly see the specimen in detail, without the reflection of the low-reflection transparent plate and white fading.

Example 4
The low reflection transparent plate produced by the above was set in the show window. As an exhibit, a manual was set at a depth of 40 cm (L = 40 cm) from the low-reflection transparent plate (FIG. 9). When the instructions were observed from the front and diagonally in front, the transparent plate was not reflected or whited, and any part of the instructions could be read clearly.

Example 5
Using a photograph of the moon as an exhibit, and a 2mm thick transparent acrylic board covering the photograph, the above-mentioned reflection reducing film is pasted on both sides of the inner (middle) rectangular part only. A reflective transparent plate was produced (FIG. 10B). The reflection reducing film was not attached to the outer peripheral portion of the acrylic plate. The distance L between the photograph and the surface of the low reflection transparent plate on the photograph side was 2 mm. Moreover, it evaluated also with the colorless and transparent acrylic board which has not affixed the reflection reduction film anywhere (FIG. 10 (a)).

  When the photograph was observed from diagonally below the forehead, it was found that “a colorless and transparent acrylic plate with no reflection reduction film applied anywhere” (FIG. 10A) and an acrylic plate with no reflection reduction film attached. In the outer peripheral part (FIG. 10B), four fluorescent lamps on the ceiling were reflected, making it difficult to see the photograph. On the other hand, the rectangular part (Fig. 10 (b)) in the middle of the acrylic plate on which the reflection reducing film is affixed does not reflect the fluorescent lamp on the ceiling and does not fade in white due to reflected light. I could see it clearly.

  The display case using the low-reflection transparent plate of the present invention is excellent in light reflection prevention performance, transmission performance, etc., and the exhibits inside can be seen well, so it can be used in museums, homes, companies, public facilities, etc. Products for display and display of foreheads of paintings, photographs, prints, etc., transparent boxes for storing antiques, dolls, etc., precious metals, decorations, etc., displayed at museums, dealers, etc. It is widely used for cases, show windows, and the like.
