Abstract
Description
本発明は、延伸フィルムの評価方法に関する。特に、偏光子保護フィルムなど位相差を生じない延伸フィルムの配向度を評価する方法に関する。さらには積層された、或いは製品等に組み込まれた延伸フィルムを取り出すことなく直接評価する方法に関する。 The present invention relates to a method for evaluating a stretched film. In particular, it is related with the method of evaluating the orientation degree of the stretched film which does not produce phase difference, such as a polarizer protective film. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a method for directly evaluating a stretched film laminated or incorporated in a product or the like without taking it out.
液晶表示装置のように偏光を扱う表示装置に用いるプラスチックフィルムは、光学的に透明であり、かつ複屈折が小さい他に光学的な均質性が求められる。このため、高度に延伸したポリビニルアルコールからなる偏光子を保護するための偏光子保護フィルムや、ガラス基板を樹脂フィルムに代えたプラスチック液晶表示装置用のフィルム基板の場合、複屈折と厚みの積で表される位相差が小さいことが要求される。
現在、ＰＭＭＡに代表されるアクリル系樹脂（アクリル系重合体）は光学的特性に優れていることが良く知られており、高い光透過率や低複屈折率、低位相差の光学材料として従来種々の用途に適用されている。しかしアクリル系樹脂は一般的に可撓性が低い。このため、縦横二軸延伸を施すことにより可撓性を向上させる方法が開示されている（特許文献１参照）。
しかし、フィルムの配向度を評価する方法としては特許文献２に開示されているように位相差を測定する方法があるが、分子差は配向していても異方性を持たないフィルムでは測定できないという欠点があった。また、特許文献３に開示されているように光弾性変調法によって微小複屈折位相差を測定する方法が開示されているが、１ｎｍ以下の領域で０．０１ｎｍ程度の配向度差を評価するのは極めて実用性に劣る。
さらに、物質の配向度を測定する方法としてはＸ線を用いる方法があるが、非晶質のプラスチックフィルムには使用できない。また、偏光ＡＴＲ法によって表面配向度を測定する方法が特許文献４に開示されているが、偏光ＡＴＲ法は装置の特性上表面しか測定できない。このため積層された状態、コーティング層が塗布された状態、製品に組み込まれた状態などから、評価したい延伸フィルムを取り出す作業を行う必要がある上に、測定焦点が大きいため、フィルムの厚み方向の配向を評価することは不可能である。
すなわち、延伸しても複屈折異方性を発現しないフィルムが望まれているにもかかわらず、現状ではその配向評価が事実上不可能であった。
A plastic film used for a display device that handles polarized light, such as a liquid crystal display device, is optically transparent and has low birefringence and is required to have optical homogeneity. For this reason, in the case of a polarizer protective film for protecting a polarizer made of highly stretched polyvinyl alcohol or a film substrate for a plastic liquid crystal display device in which the glass substrate is replaced with a resin film, the product of birefringence and thickness The expressed phase difference is required to be small.
At present, it is well known that acrylic resins (acrylic polymers) represented by PMMA are excellent in optical characteristics, and various conventionally as optical materials having high light transmittance, low birefringence, and low retardation. It is applied to the use of. However, acrylic resins generally have low flexibility. For this reason, a method for improving flexibility by performing longitudinal and lateral biaxial stretching has been disclosed (see Patent Document 1).
However, as a method for evaluating the degree of orientation of a film, there is a method of measuring a phase difference as disclosed in Patent Document 2, but a molecular difference cannot be measured with a film that is oriented but has no anisotropy. There was a drawback. Further, as disclosed in Patent Document 3, a method of measuring a minute birefringence phase difference by a photoelastic modulation method is disclosed, but an orientation degree difference of about 0.01 nm is evaluated in a region of 1 nm or less. Is extremely infeasible.
Furthermore, as a method for measuring the degree of orientation of a substance, there is a method using X-rays, but it cannot be used for an amorphous plastic film. Further, Patent Document 4 discloses a method for measuring the degree of surface orientation by the polarized ATR method, but the polarized ATR method can measure only the surface due to the characteristics of the apparatus. Therefore, it is necessary to take out the stretched film to be evaluated from the laminated state, the state where the coating layer is applied, the state where it is incorporated into the product, etc. It is impossible to evaluate the orientation.
That is, although a film that does not exhibit birefringence anisotropy even when stretched is desired, it has been practically impossible to evaluate its orientation at present.

However, the scope of the present invention is not limited to these descriptions, and modifications other than the following examples can be made as appropriate without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
本発明の評価方法は測定にラマンスペクトルを用いる。このため、評価したい延伸フィルムがピントを合わせることができる位置にあれば直接評価できる。つまり、偏向ＩＲ法や偏向ＡＴＲ法とは異なり、評価したい延伸フィルムを取り出す、或いは切り出して表面に露出させる必要がない。このため、積層された状態、コーティング層が塗布された状態、製品に組み込まれた状態などから、評価したい延伸フィルムを取り出す作業を行うことなく評価できる。 The evaluation method of the present invention uses a Raman spectrum for measurement. For this reason, if the stretched film to be evaluated is at a position where focus can be achieved, direct evaluation can be made. That is, unlike the deflection IR method and the deflection ATR method, it is not necessary to take out or cut out the stretched film to be evaluated and expose it to the surface. For this reason, it can evaluate, without performing the operation | work which takes out the stretched film to evaluate from the state laminated | stacked, the state by which the coating layer was apply | coated, the state integrated in the product, etc.
また、評価したい延伸フィルムの厚みも評価したい延伸フィルムにピントを合わせることができればよいので、測定焦点の大きさから２μｍ以上であれば問題なく評価できる。さらに、評価したい延伸フィルムが積層体である場合、各層の厚みが２μｍ以上であれば、任意の層の配向度を測定することができる。

〔８〕｛（ＳＸＺＸ×ＳＹＺＹ）１／２｝／｛（ＳＸＺＺ×ＳＹＺＺ）１／２｝を厚み配向度Ｄｔｈとする。
＜面内配向度Ｄｐｌの評価方法＞
延伸フィルムを構成する樹脂の配向度がＸ方向、Ｙ方向で等しい場合、面内配向度Ｄｐｌは１となる。
面内配向度Ｄｐｌが１よりも小さい場合、ＰＰを樹脂の主鎖に対して平行な方向を向く置換基に帰属されるピークとするとＹ方向に配向しており、逆に垂直な方向を向く置換基に帰属されるピークとするとＸ方向に配向している。また、面内配向度Ｄｐｌが１よりも大きい場合、ＰＰを樹脂の主鎖に対して平行な方向を向く置換基に帰属されるピークとするとＸ方向に配向しており、逆に垂直な方向を向く置換基に帰属されるピークとするとはＹ方向に配向している。なお、面内配向度Ｄｐｌは０より大きい値となる。

Moreover, since it should just be able to focus on the stretched film which also wants to evaluate the thickness of the stretched film to evaluate, if it is 2 micrometers or more from the magnitude | size of a measurement focus, it can evaluate without a problem. Furthermore, when the stretched film to be evaluated is a laminate, the degree of orientation of any layer can be measured as long as the thickness of each layer is 2 μm or more.
The evaluation method of the orientation degree of the stretched film of the present invention is evaluated using the in-plane orientation degree Dpl and the thickness orientation degree Dth measured and calculated according to the following procedure.
[1] The Raman spectrum of the stretched film is measured without using a polarizing filter, and one peak attributed to a substituent oriented in a direction parallel or perpendicular to the main chain of the resin constituting the film is selected ( Let P P. ). Also selects one peak attributed to a substituent that can not identify the orientation relative to the main chain (and P S).

Also, if the in-plane orientation degree Dpl is greater than 1, are oriented in the X direction when the peak attributable to the substituents oriented direction parallel to the main chain of the resin P P, perpendicular to the opposite The peak attributed to the substituent that faces the direction is oriented in the Y direction. Note that the in-plane orientation degree Dpl is a value larger than zero.
<Evaluation method of thickness orientation degree Dth>
When the resin constituting the stretched film is not oriented, or the orientation degree of the resin is equal in the X direction, Y direction, and Z direction, or the average orientation degree of the resin in the X direction and the Y direction and the orientation degree in the Z direction are When equal, the thickness orientation degree Dth is 1.
If the thickness orientation Dth is less than 1, are oriented in the Z direction when the peak attributable to the substituents oriented direction parallel to P P to the main chain of the resin, toward the direction perpendicular to the opposite When the peak is attributed to a substituent, the draw ratio (surface ratio) in the XY plane direction is high. Further, if the thickness orientation Dth is greater than 1, P P and high when the peak attributed to the substituents oriented direction parallel to the main chain of the resin stretching ratio in the XY plane direction (plane ratio) is, Conversely, if the peak is attributed to a substituent that faces in the vertical direction, it is oriented in the Z direction. Note that the thickness orientation degree Dth is also greater than zero.
