Description

  The present invention relates to a method for producing a laminated optical film in which at least a first optical film and a second optical film are laminated via an adhesive layer formed by curing an active energy ray-curable adhesive composition. The laminated optical film can form an image display device such as a liquid crystal display device (LCD), an organic EL display device, a CRT, or a PDP.

  Liquid crystal display devices are rapidly expanding in watches, mobile phones, PDAs, notebook computers, personal computer monitors, DVD players, TVs, and the like. The liquid crystal display device visualizes the polarization state by switching of the liquid crystal, and a polarizer is used from the display principle. In particular, in applications such as TV, higher brightness, higher contrast, and wider viewing angle are required, and polarizing films are also required to have higher transmittance, higher degree of polarization, and higher color reproducibility.

  As the polarizer, since it has a high transmittance and a high degree of polarization, for example, an iodine-based polarizer having a stretched structure by adsorbing iodine to polyvinyl alcohol (hereinafter also simply referred to as “PVA”) is most widely used. It is used. In general, a polarizing film in which a transparent protective film is bonded to both surfaces of a polarizer by a so-called aqueous adhesive in which a polyvinyl alcohol-based material is dissolved in water is used (Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2 below). ). As the transparent protective film, triacetyl cellulose having a high moisture permeability is used. When the water-based adhesive is used (so-called wet lamination), a drying process is required after the polarizer and the transparent protective film are bonded together.

  On the other hand, an active energy ray-curable adhesive has been proposed instead of the water-based adhesive. When manufacturing a polarizing film using an active energy ray hardening-type adhesive, since a drying process is not required, productivity of a polarizing film can be improved. For example, the present inventors have proposed radical polymerization-type active energy ray-curable adhesives using N-substituted amide monomers as curable components (Patent Documents 3 and 4 below).

  The adhesive layer formed using the active energy ray-curable adhesive described in Patent Documents 3 and 4 is, for example, a water resistance test for evaluating the presence or absence of color loss or peeling after immersion in warm water at 60 ° C. for 6 hours. It is clear enough. In recent years, however, the adhesive for laminated optical films can be cleared of a more severe water resistance test that evaluates the presence or absence of peeling when, for example, peeling off an end nail after being immersed (saturated) in water. Further improvement of water resistance is being demanded. Therefore, the adhesives for laminated optical films reported up to now including the active energy ray-curable adhesives described in Patent Documents 3 and 4 have room for further improvement in terms of water resistance. Met.

  By the way, in recent years, an organic polymer material is often required to have a trade-off characteristic, and it is actually difficult to satisfy the required characteristic with a single organic polymer material. In order to satisfy the contradictory required characteristics, techniques for adding and compounding different kinds of materials having different properties to organic polymer materials have been proposed in many fields. In the bonding technique, for example, when two different types of adherends are bonded, it is conceivable to form the adhesive layer so as to have a two-layer structure in order to improve the adhesion to each adherend. However, when the adhesive layer is formed in a two-layer structure, stress concentrates on the interface, and the adhesive force of the adhesive layer may be reduced. Particularly, in recent years, it is difficult to establish a technique for forming an adhesive layer with a two-layer structure in an adhesive for laminated optical films that is required to be thin, and there is no such report as far as the present inventors can know. .

  As described above, in the field of adhesives for laminated optical films, particularly where thinning is required, it is difficult to develop a technology that increases water resistance while increasing adhesion when two different optical films are bonded. There was a real situation.

  The present invention has been developed to solve the above-described problems, and exhibits a high adhesive force when laminating two different types of optical films, and manufactures a laminated optical film having an adhesive layer excellent in water resistance. It aims to provide a method.

  When the optical films to be laminated are different from each other, for example, to show different properties from the viewpoint of hydrophilicity, forming an adhesive layer for laminating these optical films in a two-layer structure is Although it is advantageous from the viewpoint of improving the adhesive strength, as described above, there is a possibility that the adhesive strength may decrease due to interfacial peeling in the adhesive layer.

On the other hand, an active energy ray containing at least two or more different active energy ray curable adhesive compositions, including the first active energy ray curable adhesive composition and the second active energy ray curable adhesive composition. According to the production method in which the first optical film and the second optical film are bonded by irradiating active energy rays after bonding two optical films through the curable adhesive composition. The present inventors have found that even when active energy ray-curable adhesive compositions having different values are used, interfacial peeling does not easily occur in the adhesive layer. The present invention has been completed based on this discovery, and has the following configuration.

That is, the present invention is a method for producing a laminated optical film in which at least a first optical film and a second optical film are laminated via an adhesive layer formed by curing an active energy ray-curable adhesive composition. The active energy ray-curable adhesive composition includes at least two different active energy rays including a first active energy ray-curable adhesive composition and a second active energy ray-curable adhesive composition. It contains a curable adhesive composition, the first active energy ray-curable adhesive composition is applied to the bonding surface of the first optical film, and the bonding surface of the second optical film is further applied. A coating step of coating the second active energy ray-curable adhesive composition, a bonding step of bonding the first optical film and the second optical film, Through the adhesive layer formed by irradiating active energy rays from the first optical film surface side or the second optical film surface side and curing the active energy ray-curable adhesive composition, The manufacturing method of the lamination | stacking optical film characterized by including the adhesion process to adhere | attach a 1st optical film and a said 2nd optical film.

  According to the manufacturing method of the laminated optical film, the first active energy ray-curable adhesive composition applied to the bonding surface of the first optical film and the bonding surface of the second optical film were applied. The second active energy ray-curable adhesive composition is bonded in a fluid state. As a result, even if the first active energy ray-curable adhesive composition and the second active energy ray-curable adhesive composition are different from each other, a certain degree of compatibilization proceeds between the two layers. The agent layer does not form a two-layer structure, but forms a component gradient structure. Therefore, interface peeling between the first active energy ray-curable adhesive composition and the second active energy ray-curable adhesive composition hardly occurs. Therefore, the first active energy ray-curable adhesive composition having high affinity with the first optical film is appropriately selected, and the second active energy ray-curable adhesive composition having high affinity with the second optical film is appropriately selected. By selecting, the laminated optical film which has favorable adhesiveness between a 1st optical film and a 2nd optical film can be manufactured, preventing delamination in an adhesive bond layer.

  In the method for producing a laminated optical film according to the present invention, at least the first optical film and the second optical film are laminated via an adhesive layer formed by curing the active energy ray-curable adhesive composition.

  According to the manufacturing method of the said laminated optical film, with respect to the 1st active energy ray hardening-type adhesive composition coated on the bonding surface of the 1st optical film, a 2nd active energy ray hardening-type adhesive composition is The top coat is applied. And it applied to the coating surface which applied the 1st active energy ray hardening-type adhesive composition coated on the bonding surface of a 1st optical film, and the 1st active energy ray hardening-type adhesive composition. The second active energy ray-curable adhesive composition is in contact with the fluidity state. As a result, even if the first active energy ray curable adhesive composition and the second active energy ray curable adhesive composition have different compositions, a certain degree of compatibilization proceeds at these interfaces, and the component gradient A structure is formed. Therefore, interface peeling between the first active energy ray-curable adhesive composition and the second active energy ray-curable adhesive composition hardly occurs. Therefore, the first active energy ray-curable adhesive composition having high affinity with the first optical film is appropriately selected, and the second active energy ray-curable adhesive composition having high affinity with the second optical film is appropriately selected. By selecting, it is possible to produce a laminated optical film in which the first optical film and the second optical film have good adhesiveness while preventing delamination in the adhesive layer.

When overcoating the second active energy ray-curable adhesive composition with respect to the first active energy ray-curable adhesive composition coated on the bonding surface of the first optical film, the first active energy ray-curable type is applied. When the liquid viscosity of the adhesive composition is higher than the liquid viscosity of the second active energy ray curable adhesive composition, the second active energy ray curable adhesive composition is changed to the first active energy ray curable adhesive composition. It can be reliably applied on the object.

  In the method for producing a laminated optical film, it is preferable that a contact angle of the active energy ray-curable adhesive composition with respect to the first optical film and the second optical film is 5 to 50 degrees. According to such a configuration, the wettability of the active energy ray-curable adhesive composition is excellent with respect to the first optical film and the second optical film, so that the interlayer adhesiveness of the finally obtained laminated optical film is sufficiently ensured. it can.

When it is contained by weight, the following effects are obtained. Specifically, when the specific optical film is used and the active energy ray-curable adhesive composition contains a predetermined amount of a radical polymerizable compound exhibiting a predetermined SP value, A compatible layer is formed between the optical film and the optical film. As a result, the adhesive property of the laminated optical film is further increased, which is preferable.

Where ΔEI is the evaporation energy at 25 ° C. belonging to the atom or group, and ΔVI is the molar volume at 25 ° C.

  In the method for producing a laminated optical film according to the present invention, the active energy ray-curable adhesive composition to be used is a first active energy ray-curable adhesive composition and a second active energy ray-curable adhesive composition. It is characterized by containing at least two or more different active energy ray-curable adhesive compositions. “Active energy ray-curable adhesive composition is different” means that the radically polymerizable compound and the composition ratio are different, for example, from the viewpoint of hydrophilicity / hydrophobicity, the active energy ray-curable adhesive composition is It means having different characteristics. When the laminated optical film produced in the production method according to the present invention is, for example, a polarizing film in which a transparent protective film is laminated on at least one surface of the polarizer via an adhesive layer, the polarizer is hydrophilic. On the other hand, transparent protective films tend to be hydrophobic. Therefore, in this invention, when a 1st optical film is a polarizer and a 2nd optical film is a transparent protective film, in order to improve adhesiveness, the 1st active energy ray hardening type distribute | arranged to the 1st optical film side The adhesive composition is preferably hydrophilic, and the second active energy ray-curable adhesive composition is preferably hydrophobic.

  In the present invention, logPow is an index for evaluating the hydrophilicity and hydrophobicity of the radical polymerizable compound contained in the active energy ray-curable adhesive composition. The octanol / water partition coefficient (logPow) is an index representing the lipophilicity of a substance, and means the logarithmic value of the octanol / water partition coefficient. High logPow means that it is lipophilic, that is, low water absorption. The logPow value can be measured (flask immersion method described in JIS-Z-7260), but can also be calculated. In this specification, the logPow value calculated by Chem Draw Ultra manufactured by Cambridge Soft is used.

  In particular, in the present invention, when the first optical film is a polarizer and the second optical film is a transparent protective film, the first active energy ray-curable adhesive composition disposed on the first optical film side has a log Pow of It is preferable to contain the A component which is -1-1, and it is preferable that the 2nd active energy ray hardening-type adhesive composition contains the B component whose logPow is 2-7. In such a configuration, (i) the first active energy ray-curable adhesive composition is applied to the bonding surface of the first optical film, and the second active energy beam curing is further applied to the bonding surface of the second optical film. Or (ii) applying the first active energy ray-curable adhesive composition to the bonding surface of the first optical film, and applying the first active energy ray-curable adhesive. When the second active energy ray-curable adhesive composition is further overcoated on the coated surface on which the composition is applied, the adhesive layer interposed between the polarizer and the transparent protective film is on the polarizer side. It has a component gradient structure in which the concentration of the A component exhibiting high hydrophilicity is high. For this reason, a polarizer and a transparent protective film show the adhesiveness which was excellent, and a polarizing film provided with the adhesive bond layer excellent in water resistance can be manufactured.

For example, in the adhesive layer of the polarizing film, a method for confirming that the component A has a component gradient structure in which the concentration of the component A changes in the thickness direction is, for example, time of flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (Time of Flight Secondary Ion Mass). The method of using Spectrometry (TOF-SIMS) is mentioned. The principle of TOF-SIMS is that when a sample is irradiated with a primary ion beam (for example, 1E12 ions / cm ² or less) under an ultra-high vacuum, secondary ions are released only from the outermost surface of the sample (a depth of about several millimeters). A mass spectrum is obtained by introducing secondary ions into a time-of-flight (TOF type) mass spectrometer. By utilizing this principle, information on the chemical composition of the elemental composition and compound existing on the outermost surface of the sample can be obtained. Furthermore, in this invention, in order to confirm the component inclination structure in the thickness direction in the adhesive bond layer interposed between a transparent protective film and a polarizer, a cluster ion etching method can be used.

The “cluster ion etching method” will be described below. For example, when the surface of the adhesive layer is etched using a general etching method using a monoatomic ion beam (Ar ⁺ , Cs ^+, etc.) as etching ions, the molecular structure on the surface of the adhesive layer is destroyed, A damage layer is formed. In this case, even if an attempt is made to obtain the mass spectrum of the surface using TOF-SIMS, an accurate mass spectrum of the surface of the adhesive layer cannot be measured due to the influence of the damaged layer. On the other hand, when the “cluster ion etching method” using “Ar gas cluster ions (Arn ⁺ )” as etching ions is used, damage applied to the surface of the adhesive layer after etching is reduced, and a damaged layer is formed. Therefore, the surface of the adhesive layer after etching retains the molecular structure of the surface before etching. Therefore, the mass spectrum of the surface of the adhesive layer can be accurately measured by using TOF-SIMS.

  The schematic which shows the evaluation method of the component inclination structure in the thickness direction in the adhesive bond layer using TOF-SIMS in FIG. 1 is shown. (I) of FIG. 1 shows an example of a polarizing film that is a laminated optical film that can be produced in the present invention. In such a polarizing film, a transparent protective film 2 is laminated on both surfaces of a polarizer 1 with an adhesive layer 3 interposed therebetween. Has been. First, the transparent protective film 2 of the polarizing film shown in (I) (the upper transparent protective film 2 in FIG. 1 (I)) is horizontally cut with a microtome to reduce the thickness of the transparent protective film 2 in contact with the adhesive layer 3. ((II)). Next, as shown in (III), the composition of the surface is analyzed by measuring the mass spectrum of the surface of the thin transparent protective film 2 using TOF-SIMS. Next, as shown in (IV), after etching the surface of the transparent protective film 2 thinly cut using the “cluster ion etching method”, the composition of the surface is analyzed using TOF-SIMS. Further, as shown in (V), the surface of the transparent protective film 2 is deposited by etching the surface of the transparent protective film 2 using the “cluster ion etching method”, and TOF-SIMS Is used to analyze the composition of the surface. Thereafter, the etching process using the “cluster ion etching method” and the analysis of the composition of the surface of the deposited adhesive layer 3 are repeated using TOF-SIMS, and etching is performed until the surface finally reaches the polarizer surface. Processing and analysis of the composition of the surface of the adhesive layer 3 (and the polarizer 1) are continued. By the method demonstrated above, in this invention, the component inclination structure in the thickness direction in the adhesive bond layer interposed between a transparent protective film and a polarizer can be confirmed.

<Radical polymerizable compound having active methylene group and radical polymerization initiator having hydrogen abstraction action>
In the active energy ray-curable adhesive composition, when a radical polymerizable compound having an active methylene group is used as the radical polymerizable compound, it is preferably used in combination with a radical polymerization initiator having a hydrogen abstracting action. According to such a configuration, the adhesiveness of the adhesive layer of the polarizing film is remarkably improved even in a high humidity environment or immediately after being taken out from water (non-dried state). The reason for this is not clear, but the following causes are considered. That is, the radical polymerizable compound having an active methylene group is taken into the main chain and / or side chain of the base polymer in the adhesive layer while polymerizing together with other radical polymerizable compounds constituting the adhesive layer. An agent layer is formed. In such a polymerization process, when a radical polymerization initiator having a hydrogen abstracting action is present, a base polymer constituting the adhesive layer is formed, while hydrogen is extracted from the radical polymerizable compound having an active methylene group to form a methylene group. Radicals are generated. And the methylene group which the radical generate | occur | produced, and the hydroxyl group of polarizers, such as PVA, react, and a covalent bond is formed between an adhesive bond layer and a polarizer.

  In the active energy ray-curable adhesive composition, when the radical polymerizable compound having an active methylene group and a radical polymerization initiator having a hydrogen abstracting action are contained, the total amount of the curable component is 100% by weight. In this case, it is preferable to contain 1 to 50% by weight of the radical polymerizable compound having an active methylene group and 0.1 to 10 parts by weight of the radical polymerization initiator with respect to 100 parts by weight of the total amount of the curable component.

React with a hydroxyl group to form a covalent bond. Therefore, in order to generate radicals in the methylene group of the radical polymerizable compound having an active methylene group and to sufficiently form such a covalent bond, when the total amount of the curable component is 100% by weight, the radical having an active methylene group. The content of the polymerizable compound is preferably 1 to 50% by weight, and more preferably 3 to 30% by weight. In order to sufficiently improve the water resistance and improve the adhesion in a non-dry state, the radical polymerizable compound having an active methylene group is preferably 1% by weight or more. On the other hand, if it exceeds 50% by weight, the adhesive layer may be poorly cured. Moreover, it is preferable to contain 0.1-10 weight part with respect to 100 weight part of whole quantity of a sclerosing | hardenable component, and, as for the radical polymerization initiator which has a hydrogen abstraction effect | action, it is further contained 0.3-9 weight part. More preferred. In order for the hydrogen abstraction reaction to proceed sufficiently, it is preferable to use 0.1 parts by weight or more of a radical polymerization initiator. On the other hand, if it exceeds 10 parts by weight, it may not completely dissolve in the composition.

It is necessary to contain an A component whose logPow is −1 to 1 and a B component whose logPow is 2 to 7.

<Photocationic polymerization initiator>
The cationic polymerization curable adhesive contains the epoxy compound and the oxetane compound described above as curable components, and these are cured by cationic polymerization, and therefore, a photocationic polymerization initiator is blended therein. This cationic photopolymerization initiator generates a cationic species or a Lewis acid by irradiation with active energy rays such as visible light, ultraviolet rays, X-rays, and electron beams, and starts a polymerization reaction of an epoxy group or an oxetanyl group.

  In the method for producing a laminated optical film according to the present invention, when the laminated optical film is a polarizing film, the polarizer and the transparent protective film are subjected to surface modification before the application of the active energy ray-curable adhesive composition. Quality processing may be performed. Specific examples of the treatment include corona treatment, plasma treatment, and saponification treatment.

  The coating method of the active energy ray-curable adhesive composition is appropriately selected depending on the viscosity of the composition and the target thickness. Examples of coating methods include reverse coaters, gravure coaters (direct, reverse and offset), bar reverse coaters, roll coaters, die coaters, bar coaters, rod coaters and the like. In addition, for coating, a method such as a dapping method can be appropriately used.

  Two different optical films, for example, a polarizer and a transparent protective film are bonded together through the active energy ray-curable adhesive composition applied as described above. Bonding of the polarizer and the transparent protective film can be performed with a roll laminator or the like.

<Curing the adhesive>
The active energy ray curable adhesive composition used in the present invention can be used in an electron beam curable type, an ultraviolet curable type, or a visible light curable type. As the active energy ray curable adhesive composition, a visible light curable adhesive composition is preferable from the viewpoint of productivity.

  In the active energy ray curable adhesive composition, for example, after bonding a polarizer and a transparent protective film, the active energy ray (electron beam, ultraviolet ray, visible light, etc.) is irradiated to obtain an active energy ray curable adhesive composition. The object is cured to form an adhesive layer. The irradiation direction of active energy rays (electron beam, ultraviolet ray, visible light, etc.) can be irradiated from any appropriate direction. Preferably, it irradiates from the transparent protective film side. When irradiated from the polarizer side, the polarizer may be deteriorated by active energy rays (electron beam, ultraviolet ray, visible light, etc.).

  In the electron beam curable type, any appropriate condition can be adopted as the electron beam irradiation condition as long as the active energy ray curable adhesive composition can be cured. For example, in the electron beam irradiation, the acceleration voltage is preferably 5 kV to 300 kV, and more preferably 10 kV to 250 kV. If the acceleration voltage is less than 5 kV, the electron beam may not reach the adhesive and may be insufficiently cured. If the acceleration voltage exceeds 300 kV, the penetration force through the sample is too strong and damages the transparent protective film and the polarizer. There is a risk of giving. The irradiation dose is 5 to 100 kGy, more preferably 10 to 75 kGy. When the irradiation dose is less than 5 kGy, the adhesive becomes insufficiently cured, and when it exceeds 100 kGy, the transparent protective film and the polarizer are damaged, resulting in a decrease in mechanical strength and yellowing, thereby obtaining predetermined optical characteristics. I can't.

  Electron beam irradiation is usually performed in an inert gas, but if necessary, it may be performed in the atmosphere or under a condition in which a small amount of oxygen is introduced. Depending on the material of the transparent protective film, by appropriately introducing oxygen, the transparent protective film surface where the electron beam first hits can be obstructed to prevent oxygen damage and prevent damage to the transparent protective film. An electron beam can be irradiated efficiently.

  In the method for producing a laminated optical film according to the present invention, in particular, the method for producing a polarizing film, the active energy ray contains visible light having a wavelength range of 380 nm to 450 nm, particularly the irradiation amount of visible light having a wavelength range of 380 nm to 450 nm. It is preferable to use the active energy ray having the largest number. In the case of using a transparent protective film (ultraviolet non-transparent transparent protective film) imparted with ultraviolet absorbing ability in the ultraviolet curable type and visible light curable type, light having a wavelength shorter than about 380 nm is absorbed. Light does not reach the active energy ray-curable adhesive and does not contribute to the polymerization reaction. Furthermore, light having a wavelength shorter than 380 nm absorbed by the transparent protective film is converted into heat, and the transparent protective film itself generates heat, which causes defects such as curling and wrinkling of the polarizing film. Therefore, when the ultraviolet curable type or the visible light curable type is adopted in the present invention, it is preferable to use a device that does not emit light having a wavelength shorter than 380 nm as the active energy ray generating device, and more specifically, the wavelength range 380. The ratio of the integrated illuminance of ˜440 nm to the integrated illuminance of the wavelength range 250 to 370 nm is preferably 100: 0 to 100: 50, and more preferably 100: 0 to 100: 40. As the active energy ray according to the present invention, a gallium-encapsulated metal halide lamp and an LED light source that emits light in the wavelength range of 380 to 440 nm are preferable. Or low pressure mercury lamp, medium pressure mercury lamp, high pressure mercury lamp, ultra high pressure mercury lamp, incandescent lamp, xenon lamp, halogen lamp, carbon arc lamp, metal halide lamp, fluorescent lamp, tungsten lamp, gallium lamp, excimer laser or sunlight A light source including visible light can be used, and ultraviolet light having a wavelength shorter than 380 nm can be blocked using a band pass filter. In order to prevent the polarization film from curling while improving the adhesive performance of the adhesive layer between the polarizer and the transparent protective film, a gallium-encapsulated metal halide lamp can be used and light with a wavelength shorter than 380 nm can be blocked. It is preferable to use an active energy ray obtained through a band pass filter or an active energy ray having a wavelength of 405 nm obtained using an LED light source.

  In the ultraviolet curing type or visible light curing type, it is also preferable to warm the active energy ray-curable adhesive after irradiation with ultraviolet rays or visible light (heating after irradiation), and in this case, it is preferable to warm to 40 ° C. or higher. It is more preferable to heat to 50 ° C. or higher.

  The active energy ray-curable adhesive used in the present invention can be suitably used particularly for forming an adhesive layer for bonding a polarizer and a transparent protective film having a light transmittance of a wavelength of 365 nm of less than 5%. is there. Here, the active energy ray-curable adhesive according to the present invention irradiates ultraviolet rays through the transparent protective film having UV absorption ability by containing the photopolymerization initiator of the general formula (1) described above, The adhesive layer can be hardened. Therefore, an adhesive bond layer can be hardened also in a polarizing film which laminated a transparent protective film which has UV absorption ability on both sides of a polarizer. However, as a matter of course, the adhesive layer can also be cured in a polarizing film in which a transparent protective film having no UV absorbing ability is laminated. In addition, the transparent protective film which has UV absorption ability means the transparent protective film whose transmittance | permeability with respect to light of 380 nm is less than 10%.

  Examples of the method for imparting UV absorbing ability to the transparent protective film include a method of containing an ultraviolet absorber in the transparent protective film and a method of laminating a surface treatment layer containing an ultraviolet absorber on the surface of the transparent protective film.

  Specific examples of the ultraviolet absorber include conventionally known oxybenzophenone compounds, benzotriazole compounds, salicylic acid ester compounds, benzophenone compounds, cyanoacrylate compounds, nickel complex compounds, triazine compounds, and the like. .

After bonding two different optical films, for example, a polarizer and a transparent protective film, an active energy ray (electron beam, ultraviolet ray, visible light, etc.) is irradiated to cure the active energy ray-curable adhesive, and the adhesive Form a layer. The moisture content of the polarizer when the polarizer and the transparent protective film are bonded together is usually 1% or more, preferably 3% or more, more preferably 5% or more. In addition, when the moisture content of the polarizer is too high, the moisture in the polarizer moves to the adhesive layer after bonding, and the B component having a log POW of 2 to 7 in the adhesive composition is separated into layers, resulting in poor appearance. This is not preferable. The moisture content of the polarizer is preferably 18% or less, more preferably 15% or less, and most preferably 12% or less. For the polarizer moisture content, a sample of 180 mm × 500 mm was cut out from the obtained polarizer, and its initial weight (W (g)) was measured. The sample was allowed to stand in a dryer at 120 ° C. for 6 hours, and then the weight after drying (D (g)) was measured. From these measured values, the moisture content was determined by the following formula.
Moisture content (%) = {(WD) / W} × 100
The irradiation direction of active energy rays (electron beam, ultraviolet ray, visible light, etc.) can be irradiated from any appropriate direction. Preferably, it irradiates from the transparent protective film side. When irradiated from the polarizer side, the polarizer may be deteriorated by active energy rays (electron beam, ultraviolet ray, visible light, etc.).

When the laminated optical film according to the present invention is produced in a continuous line, the line speed depends on the curing time of the adhesive, but is preferably 1 to 500 m / min, more preferably 5 to 300 m / min, and further preferably 10 to 100 m. / Min. When the line speed is too low, the productivity is poor, or the damage to the transparent protective film is too great, and a polarizing film that can withstand the durability test cannot be produced. When the line speed is too high, the adhesive is not sufficiently cured, and the target adhesiveness may not be obtained.

  In the method for producing a laminated optical film according to the present invention, when the laminated optical film is a polarizing film, the polarizer and the transparent protective film are bonded by a cured product layer of the active energy ray-curable adhesive. Although it bonds through an agent layer, an easily bonding layer can be provided between a transparent protective film and an adhesive bond layer. The easy adhesion layer can be formed of, for example, various resins having a polyester skeleton, a polyether skeleton, a polycarbonate skeleton, a polyurethane skeleton, a silicone-based, a polyamide skeleton, a polyimide skeleton, a polyvinyl alcohol skeleton, and the like. These polymer resins can be used alone or in combination of two or more. Moreover, you may add another additive for formation of an easily bonding layer. Specifically, a stabilizer such as a tackifier, an ultraviolet absorber, an antioxidant, and a heat resistance stabilizer may be used.

  The easy adhesion layer is usually provided in advance on a transparent protective film, and the easy adhesion layer side of the transparent protective film and the polarizer are bonded together with an adhesive layer. The easy-adhesion layer is formed by coating and drying the material for forming the easy-adhesion layer on the transparent protective film by a known technique. The material for forming the easy-adhesion layer is usually adjusted as a solution diluted to an appropriate concentration in consideration of the thickness after drying and the smoothness of coating. The thickness of the easy adhesion layer after drying is preferably 0.01 to 5 μm, more preferably 0.02 to 2 μm, and still more preferably 0.05 to 1 μm. Note that a plurality of easy-adhesion layers can be provided, but also in this case, the total thickness of the easy-adhesion layers is preferably in the above range.

<Polarizer>
The production method according to the present invention is particularly useful as a production method of a polarizing film. The polarizer used in producing the polarizing film is not particularly limited, and various types can be used. Examples of the polarizer include hydrophilic polymer films such as polyvinyl alcohol film, partially formalized polyvinyl alcohol film, and ethylene / vinyl acetate copolymer partially saponified film, and two colors such as iodine and dichroic dye. And polyene-based oriented films such as those obtained by adsorbing a functional material and uniaxially stretched, polyvinyl alcohol dehydrated products and polyvinyl chloride dehydrochlorinated products. Among these, a polarizer composed of a polyvinyl alcohol film and a dichroic material such as iodine is preferable. The thickness of these polarizers is not particularly limited, but is generally about 80 μm or less.

  A polarizer obtained by dyeing a polyvinyl alcohol film with iodine and uniaxially stretching it can be produced, for example, by dyeing polyvinyl alcohol in an aqueous solution of iodine and stretching it 3 to 7 times the original length. If necessary, it can be immersed in an aqueous solution of boric acid or potassium iodide. Further, if necessary, the polyvinyl alcohol film may be immersed in water and washed before dyeing. In addition to washing the polyvinyl alcohol film surface with dirt and anti-blocking agents by washing the polyvinyl alcohol film with water, it also has the effect of preventing unevenness such as uneven coloring by swelling the polyvinyl alcohol film. is there. Stretching may be performed after dyeing with iodine, may be performed while dyeing, or may be dyed with iodine after stretching. The film can be stretched in an aqueous solution of boric acid or potassium iodide or in a water bath.

  The active energy ray-curable adhesive composition used in the present invention has an effect (optical durability in harsh environments under high temperature and high humidity) when a thin polarizer having a thickness of 10 μm or less is used as the polarizer. Can be remarkably expressed). The polarizer having a thickness of 10 μm or less is relatively more affected by moisture than a polarizer having a thickness exceeding 10 μm, and has insufficient optical durability in a high-temperature and high-humidity environment, resulting in increased transmittance and degree of polarization. Decline is likely to occur. That is, when the polarizer of 10 μm or less is laminated with the adhesive layer having a bulk water absorption of 10% by weight or less according to the present invention, the movement of water to the polarizer is suppressed in a severe high temperature and high humidity environment. Thus, deterioration of optical durability such as an increase in transmittance of the polarizing film and a decrease in the degree of polarization can be remarkably suppressed. The thickness of the polarizer is preferably 1 to 7 μm from the viewpoint of thinning. Such a thin polarizer is preferable in that the thickness unevenness is small, the visibility is excellent, the dimensional change is small, and the thickness of the polarizing film can be reduced.

  As the thin polarizer, representatively, JP-A-51-069644, JP-A-2000-338329, WO2010 / 100917 pamphlet, PCT / JP2010 / 001460 specification, or Japanese Patent Application 2010- The thin polarizing film described in 269002 specification and Japanese Patent Application No. 2010-263692 specification can be mentioned.

The thin high-performance polarizing film can be manufactured by including a step of manufacturing a laminate film on which a thin high-performance polarizing film having the above optical characteristics is formed.

The thin polarizing film in the above-mentioned Japanese Patent Application Nos. 2010-269002 and 2010-263692 is a continuous web polarizing film made of a PVA resin in which a dichroic material is oriented, and is amorphous. The laminate including the PVA-based resin layer formed on the ester-based thermoplastic resin base material was stretched in a two-stage stretching process consisting of air-assisted stretching and boric acid-water stretching, so that the thickness was 10 μm or less.

It is preferable that the optical properties satisfy 99.9 (where T ≧ 42.3).

  Specifically, the thin polarizing film is a stretch intermediate formed of an oriented PVA resin layer by high-temperature stretching in the air with respect to the PVA resin layer formed on the amorphous ester thermoplastic resin substrate of the continuous web.

The liquid temperature of the boric acid aqueous solution for boric-acid water extending | stretching can be 60 degreeC or more. Before stretching the colored intermediate product in the aqueous boric acid solution, it is desirable to insolubilize the colored intermediate product. It is desirable to do so by dipping. The amorphous ester-based thermoplastic resin base material is amorphous polyethylene containing copolymerized polyethylene terephthalate copolymerized with isophthalic acid, copolymerized polyethylene terephthalate copolymerized with cyclohexanedimethanol, or other copolymerized polyethylene terephthalate. It can be terephthalate and is preferably made of a transparent resin, and the thickness thereof can be 7 times or more the thickness of the PVA resin layer to be formed. Moreover, the draw ratio of the high temperature stretching in the air is preferably 3.5 times or less, and the stretching temperature of the high temperature stretching in the air is preferably not less than the glass transition temperature of the PVA resin, specifically in the range of 95 ° C to 150 ° C.

In addition, when performing high-temperature stretching in the air by uniaxial stretching at the fixed end, the total stretching ratio of the PVA-based resin layer formed on the amorphous ester-based thermoplastic resin base material is 5 times or more and 8.5 times or less. Is preferred.

  More specifically, a thin polarizing film can be produced by the following method.

  A base material of a continuous web of isophthalic acid copolymerized polyethylene terephthalate (amorphous PET) in which 6 mol% of isophthalic acid is copolymerized is prepared. The glass transition temperature of amorphous PET is 75 ° C. A laminate comprising a continuous web of amorphous PET substrate and a polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) layer is prepared as follows. Incidentally, the glass transition temperature of PVA is 80 ° C.

  A 200 μm-thick amorphous PET base material and a 4-5% concentration PVA aqueous solution in which PVA powder having a polymerization degree of 1000 or more and a saponification degree of 99% or more are dissolved in water are prepared. Next, a PVA aqueous solution is applied to a 200 μm thick amorphous PET substrate and dried at a temperature of 50 to 60 ° C. to obtain a laminate in which a 7 μm thick PVA layer is formed on the amorphous PET substrate. .

  A laminated body including a PVA layer having a thickness of 7 μm is subjected to the following steps including a two-step stretching process of air-assisted stretching and boric acid water stretching to produce a thin high-functional polarizing film having a thickness of 3 μm. In the first-stage aerial auxiliary stretching step, the laminate including the 7 μm-thick PVA layer is integrally stretched with the amorphous PET substrate to produce a stretched laminate including the 5 μm-thick PVA layer. Specifically, in this stretched laminate, a laminate including a 7 μm-thick PVA layer is subjected to a stretching apparatus disposed in an oven set to a stretching temperature environment of 130 ° C. so that the stretching ratio is 1.8 times. Are stretched uniaxially at the free end. By this stretching treatment, the PVA layer contained in the stretched laminate is changed to a 5 μm thick PVA layer in which PVA molecules are oriented.

  Next, a colored laminate in which iodine is adsorbed on a PVA layer having a thickness of 5 μm in which PVA molecules are oriented is generated by a dyeing process. Specifically, this colored laminate has a single layer transmittance of the PVA layer constituting the high-functional polarizing film that is finally produced by using the stretched laminate in a staining solution containing iodine and potassium iodide at a liquid temperature of 30 ° C. Iodine is adsorbed to the PVA layer contained in the stretched laminate by dipping for an arbitrary period of time so as to be 40 to 44%. In this step, the staining solution uses water as a solvent and an iodine concentration in the range of 0.12 to 0.30% by weight and a potassium iodide concentration in the range of 0.7 to 2.1% by weight. The concentration ratio of iodine and potassium iodide is 1 to 7. Incidentally, potassium iodide is required to dissolve iodine in water. More specifically, by immersing the stretched laminate in a dyeing solution having an iodine concentration of 0.30% by weight and a potassium iodide concentration of 2.1% by weight for 60 seconds, iodine is applied to a 5 μm-thick PVA layer in which PVA molecules are oriented. A colored laminate is adsorbed on the substrate.

  Further, the colored laminated body is further stretched integrally with the amorphous PET base material by the second stage boric acid underwater stretching step to produce an optical film laminate including a PVA layer constituting a highly functional polarizing film having a thickness of 3 μm. To do. Specifically, this optical film laminate is stretched by applying a colored laminate to a stretching apparatus provided in a treatment apparatus set to a boric acid aqueous solution having a liquid temperature range of 60 to 85 ° C. containing boric acid and potassium iodide. It is stretched uniaxially at the free end so that the magnification is 3.3 times. More specifically, the liquid temperature of the boric acid aqueous solution is 65 ° C. It also has a boric acid content of 4 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of water and a potassium iodide content of 5 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of water. In this step, the colored laminate with adjusted iodine adsorption amount is first immersed in a boric acid aqueous solution for 5 to 10 seconds. After that, the colored laminate is passed as it is between a plurality of sets of rolls having different peripheral speeds, which is a stretching apparatus provided in the processing apparatus, and the stretching ratio is freely increased to 3.3 times over 30 to 90 seconds. Stretch uniaxially. By this stretching treatment, the PVA layer contained in the colored laminate is changed into a PVA layer having a thickness of 3 μm in which the adsorbed iodine is oriented higher in one direction as a polyiodine ion complex. This PVA layer constitutes a highly functional polarizing film of the optical film laminate.

  Although not an indispensable step for the production of an optical film laminate, the optical film laminate was removed from the boric acid aqueous solution and adhered to the surface of the 3 μm-thick PVA layer formed on the amorphous PET substrate by the washing step. It is preferable to wash boric acid with an aqueous potassium iodide solution. Thereafter, the washed optical film laminate is dried by a drying process using hot air at 60 ° C. The cleaning process is a process for eliminating appearance defects such as boric acid precipitation.

Similarly, it is not an indispensable process for producing an optical film laminate, but an adhesive is applied to the surface of a 3 μm-thick PVA layer formed on an amorphous PET substrate by a bonding and / or transfer process. However, after bonding the 80 μm thick triacetyl cellulose film, the amorphous PET substrate can be peeled off, and the 3 μm thick PVA layer can be transferred to the 80 μm thick triacetyl cellulose film.
[Other processes]
The manufacturing method of said thin-shaped polarizing film may include another process other than the said process. Examples of other steps include an insolubilization step, a crosslinking step, and a drying (adjustment of moisture content) step. The other steps can be performed at any appropriate timing.

<Transparent protective film>
As a material for forming the transparent protective film provided on one side or both sides of the polarizer, a material excellent in transparency, mechanical strength, thermal stability, moisture barrier property, isotropy and the like is preferable. For example, polyester polymers such as polyethylene terephthalate and polyethylene naphthalate, cellulose polymers such as diacetyl cellulose and triacetyl cellulose, acrylic polymers such as polymethyl methacrylate, styrene such as polystyrene and acrylonitrile / styrene copolymer (AS resin) And polymers based on polycarbonate and polycarbonate.

Specific examples include a film of a resin composition containing an alternating copolymer composed of isobutylene and N-methylmaleimide and an acrylonitrile / styrene copolymer. As the film, a film made of a mixed extruded product of the resin composition or the like can be used. Since these films have a small phase difference and a small photoelastic coefficient, problems such as unevenness due to the distortion of the polarizing film can be eliminated, and since the moisture permeability is small, the humidification durability is excellent.

In the polarizing film, it is preferable moisture permeability of the transparent protective film is not more than 150g ^/ m 2 ^/ 24h. According to such a configuration, it is difficult for moisture in the air to enter the polarizing film, and a change in the moisture content of the polarizing film itself can be suppressed. As a result, the curling and dimensional change of the polarizing film caused by the storage environment can be suppressed.

  In addition, when providing a transparent protective film on both surfaces of a polarizer, the transparent protective film which consists of the same polymer material may be used by the front and back, and the transparent protective film which consists of a different polymer material etc. may be used. The combination of the transparent protective film includes a combination of a polyethylene terephthalate film and a cyclic polyolefin resin film, a (meth) acrylic resin film and a cyclic polyolefin resin film, a (meth) acrylic resin film and a (meth) acrylic resin film. It is preferable from the viewpoint of moisture permeability. By providing a transparent protective film with low moisture permeability on both surfaces of the polarizer, it is difficult for moisture to enter the polarizing film, and a polarizing film having particularly excellent water resistance can be obtained.
