Description

  The present invention relates to a laminated polyester film, and in particular, relates to a laminated polyester film that can contribute to improving the quality of optical products because it has excellent optical properties and can realize high brightness.

  Conventionally, polyester films, especially biaxially stretched films of polyethylene terephthalate and polyethylene naphthalate, have excellent mechanical properties, heat resistance, and chemical resistance. Magnetic tape, ferromagnetic thin film tape, photographic film, packaging It is widely used as a material for films, films for electronic parts, electrical insulation films, metal laminate films, films to be attached to glass surfaces such as glass displays, and protective films for various members.

  In recent years, polyester films have been widely used for various optical films. Base films such as prism sheets, light diffusion sheets, composite sheets, reflectors, and touch panels for LCD members, antireflection base films, PDP filter films, etc. It is used for various applications. In these optical products, in order to obtain a bright and clear image, the base film used as an optical film needs to have good transparency due to its usage, but in recent years, in particular, with higher image definition, As a backlight unit, it has become possible to achieve high brightness and to reduce power consumption.

  The backlight unit is provided with a light diffusion film that diffuses and scatters the light emitted from the light guide plate and uniformly illuminates the illumination surface. Furthermore, in order to improve the front luminance, a prism sheet or a sheet having a light collecting function called a lens sheet may be used so that light transmitted through the light diffusing film is collected in the front direction as much as possible. The surface of the sheet has a large number of minute irregularities such as a prism shape, a wave shape, and a pyramid shape, and the emitted light that has passed through the light diffusing film is refracted and collected in the front to improve the luminance of the illumination surface. Such a prism sheet is used by being arranged one or two on the surface side of the light diffusing film.

  Furthermore, a light diffusing film is also provided on the surface side of the prism sheet in order to make the brightness unevenness, the prism sheet defects, scratches and the like caused by the arrangement of the prism sheet inconspicuous (improve concealment). There is a case.

  As the light diffusing film used in the backlight unit as described above, a film in which a light diffusing layer made of a transparent resin containing fine particles is coated on the surface of a biaxially stretched polyester film is mainly used.

  However, in this method, since it is necessary to provide a light diffusion layer on the base film by coating, curling due to heating is likely to occur due to the high processing cost and the difference in linear expansion coefficient between the light diffusion layer and the base film. There is a problem. In particular, liquid crystal displays that employ direct-type backlight units, such as recent large-sized liquid crystal TVs, are becoming an important problem, and curling becomes prominent when the liquid crystal TVs have a large area.

  In recent years, many studies have been made to integrate a light diffusing film with another optical functional film for the purpose of reducing the number of backlight unit parts, simplifying the manufacturing process, and reducing the cost.

  For example, a prism row is formed on the first surface side of a translucent substrate having two main surfaces, the first surface and the second surface, and a light diffusion layer including a number of glass beads is formed on the second surface side. A formed prism sheet (see Patent Document 3) is disclosed.

  Furthermore, a light-scattering biaxially stretched polyester film for a prism sheet (see Patent Document 4) in which light diffusibility is imparted by a light-scattering agent added inside the film and voids generated around the light-scattering agent is disclosed.

  However, the method disclosed in Patent Document 3 has a problem in that a light diffusion layer containing glass beads must be provided, leading to a reduction in processing cost and film yield.

  On the other hand, although the method disclosed in Patent Document 4 does not incur processing costs, the light scattering polyester film for a prism sheet provided with light diffusibility by bubbles generated after stretching around the inert particles of the polyester layer. Although it is an invention, there is a problem that light absorption by inert particles occurs and the total light transmittance is lowered.

  Many approaches have been made to impart light diffusibility (hiding property) to a biaxially stretched polyester film itself having excellent heat resistance, mechanical strength, and thickness uniformity. Providing light diffusibility to the biaxially stretched polyester film itself will open the way for the solution of the heating curl problem and the integration of the light diffusing sheet and prism sheet functions, reducing the number of backlight unit parts. In terms of simplifying the manufacturing process and reducing costs, its industrial value is very large.

JP-A-6-59108 Japanese Patent No. 3698978 specification JP-A-9-281310 JP 2005-181648 A

  In the present invention, the biaxially stretched polyester film itself has light diffusibility (shielding property), particularly suitable for use as a lens sheet or a prism sheet, has low luminance and excellent luminance characteristics, and is processed. The object is to provide an appropriately excellent polyester film.

  As a result of intensive studies in view of the above problems, the present inventors have found that the above problems can be easily solved by a polyester film having a specific configuration, and have completed the present invention.

  That is, the gist of the present invention is a multilayer polyester film composed of at least two or more polyester layers, the haze of the film is in the range of 3 to 50%, the total light transmittance is 87% or more, The outermost layer has a surface roughness (Ra) of 5.0 times or more that of the other outermost layer.

  According to the present invention, a polyester film having a quality comparable to that of a conventional light diffusing film can be provided at low cost, and the industrial value of the present invention is high.

  In the present invention, the polyester is obtained by polycondensation of an aromatic dicarboxylic acid and an aliphatic glycol. Examples of the aromatic dicarboxylic acid include terephthalic acid and 2,6-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid, and examples of the aliphatic glycol include ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol, and 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol. Typical polyesters include polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyethylene-2,6-naphthalenedicarboxylate (PEN) and the like.

  The polyester in the present invention is a conventionally known method, for example, a method of directly obtaining a low-polymerization degree polyester by reaction of a dicarboxylic acid and a diol, or a lower alkyl ester of a dicarboxylic acid and a diol reacted with a conventionally known transesterification catalyst. Then, it can obtain by the method of performing a polymerization reaction in presence of a polymerization catalyst. Examples of the polymerization catalyst include known catalysts such as antimony compounds, germanium compounds, and titanium compounds.

  The polyester film of the present invention needs to be a laminated polyester film composed of at least two polyester layers. In particular, it is preferable to add particles to the outermost layer on one side having a three-layer structure to impart light diffusibility (shielding property).

  In order to reduce costs, recycled raw materials generated from the master roll ears and the lower part of the master roll can be blended within the set haze and color range. However, from the viewpoint of the melt viscosity of the polyester, the degree of coloration of the film, the raw material yield during production, etc., it is preferably blended in the polyester film intermediate layer (B layer) having a three-layer structure at 60 wt% or less.

  In the polyester film in the present invention, it is preferable that the y value by the reflection method is 0.3235 or less as a measure of the content of the recycled material. When the y value by the reflection method is out of the above range, yellowishness increases in terms of film color tone, and it may be difficult to obtain a desired luminance.

  The polyester film of the present invention preferably contains particles having an average particle size of 2 μm to 15 μm mainly for the purpose of imparting slipperiness, preventing the occurrence of scratches in each step, and light diffusibility (shielding property). The average particle size is preferably in the range of 3 to 10 μm. When the average particle size is less than 2 μm, the desired diffusion effect may not be obtained. On the other hand, when the thickness exceeds 15 μm, the film surface becomes prominent and the application to optical applications may be difficult.

  The type of particles to be blended is not particularly limited as long as it is a particle capable of imparting slipperiness. For example, as inorganic particles, calcium carbonate, kaolin, talc, magnesium carbonate, barium carbonate, calcium sulfate, barium sulfate, Examples thereof include lithium phosphate, calcium phosphate, magnesium phosphate, aluminum oxide, silicon oxide, titanium oxide, zirconium oxide, and lithium fluoride. On the other hand, examples of the organic salt particles include calcium oxalate, terephthalate such as calcium, barium, zinc, manganese, and magnesium. Examples of the crosslinked polymer particles include divinylbenzene, styrene, acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, acrylic acid or a methacrylic acid vinyl monomer homopolymer or copolymer. In addition, organic particles such as polytetrafluoroethylene, benzoguanamine resin, thermosetting epoxy resin, unsaturated polyester resin, thermosetting urea resin, and thermosetting phenol resin may be used.

  The shape of the particles to be used is not particularly limited, and any of a spherical shape, a block shape, a rod shape, a flat shape, and the like may be used. Moreover, there is no restriction | limiting in particular also about the hardness, specific gravity, a color, etc. These series of particles may be used in combination of two or more as required.

  The method for adding particles to the polyester is not particularly limited, and a conventionally known method can be adopted. For example, it can be added at any stage for producing the polyester, but the polycondensation reaction may proceed preferably after the esterification stage or after the transesterification reaction. Also, a method of blending a slurry of particles dispersed in ethylene glycol or water with a vented kneading extruder and a polyester raw material, or a blending of dried particles and a polyester raw material using a kneading extruder. It is done by methods.

  In addition to the above-mentioned particles, conventionally known antioxidants, heat stabilizers, lubricants, antistatic agents, fluorescent brighteners, dyes, pigments, and the like are added to the polyester film in the present invention as necessary. be able to. Depending on the application, an ultraviolet absorber, particularly a benzoxazinone-based ultraviolet absorber, may be included.

  The film thickness in the polyester film of the present invention is not particularly limited as long as it can be formed as a film, but is usually in the range of 38 to 300 μm from the viewpoint of mechanical strength, handling properties, productivity, and the like. preferable.

  The haze value of the film of the present invention needs to be in the range of 3 to 50%, preferably in the range of 7 to 30%. When the haze is less than 3%, the diffusibility is insufficient and a film suitable for various uses such as optical use cannot be obtained. On the other hand, if it exceeds 50%, the total light transmittance is lowered, and the luminance in the display becomes insufficient, which is not suitable for optical use.

  The total light transmittance of the film of the present invention is 87% or more, preferably 88% or more. If the total light transmittance is less than 87%, the luminance is reduced and it is not suitable for optical use.

  Further, in this application, surface irregularities are formed because the outermost layer on one side of the laminated polyester film is blended with particles to impart light diffusibility (shielding property). However, since the other outermost layer is usually subjected to prism processing, microlens processing, etc., considering the processing suitability, it is preferable that the processed surface has less surface irregularities, so in the present invention. The surface roughness (Ra) of one outermost layer (A layer) needs to be 5.0 times or more of Ra of the other outermost layer (C layer).

  In the film of the present invention, coating layers such as an antistatic layer, an adhesive layer, and an oligomer precipitation preventing layer may be provided as long as the gist of the present invention is not impaired.

  When providing a coating layer, it is preferable to provide by an in-line coating. In-line coating is a method of coating within the process of producing a polyester film. Specifically, it is a method of coating at any stage from melt-extrusion of polyester to biaxial stretching, heat setting and winding. is there. Usually applied to either a substantially amorphous unstretched sheet obtained by melting and quenching, a uniaxially stretched film stretched in the longitudinal direction (longitudinal direction), or a biaxially stretched film before heat setting. To do. In these, the method of extending | stretching to a horizontal direction after apply | coating to a uniaxially stretched film is excellent. According to such a method, since film formation and coating / drying can be performed simultaneously, there is a merit in manufacturing cost, thin film coating is easy to perform stretching after coating, and heat treatment performed after coating is not limited. Since the high temperature is not achieved by this method, the coating film and the polyester film are firmly adhered.
