<First Embodiment>
FIG. 1 shows a schematic sectional view of a decorative sheet for molding according to the first embodiment. As shown in the figure, in the decorative sheet for molding 1, the convex pattern 20, the optical adjustment layer 30, and the coloring layer 40 are laminated in this order on the sheet-shaped transparent substrate 10. In the optical adjustment layer 30, the first optical adjustment layer 31, the second optical adjustment layer 32, and the first optical adjustment layer 33 are laminated in this order from the sheet-shaped transparent substrate 10 side, and the unevenness derived from the convex pattern 20 is formed. Are formed on the surface. Here, as described above, the first optical adjustment layer has a refractive index of 0.03 or more and a refractive index of 1.80 or less larger than the refractive index of the member forming the convex pattern 20 which is transparent. The second optical adjustment layer means a layer which is transparent, has a refractive index smaller than the refractive index of the first optical adjustment layer by 0.01 or more, and has a refractive index of 1.35 or more. Say.

The method for producing a decorative sheet for molding according to the first embodiment is derived from the step (A) of forming the convex pattern 20 on the surface of the sheet-shaped transparent substrate 10 opposite to the viewing side, and the convex pattern 20. A step (B) of covering the surface on which the convex pattern 20 is provided with a transparent optical adjustment layer 30 so that the irregularities to be formed remain, and a step (C) of covering the optical adjustment layer 30 with a colored layer 40. With. In the first embodiment, the convex pattern 20 is formed on the sheet-shaped transparent substrate 10 by using another transparent member. In addition, in the step (B), the first optical adjustment layer 31 is formed, and then the second optical adjustment layer 32 and the first optical adjustment layer 33 are laminated in this order.

[Sheet transparent substrate]
The sheet-shaped transparent substrate 10 plays a role of transmitting the light incident from the viewing side, transmitting the light reflected inside the molding decorative sheet 1 again, and emitting the light to the viewing side. It plays a role of supporting the adjustment layer 30 and the coloring layer 40. The refractive index of the sheet-shaped transparent substrate 10 is not particularly limited, but may be in the range of 1.45 to 1.75, for example.

The convex pattern 20 and the like are provided on the second surface 12 which is the main surface opposite to the first surface 11 and is visible from the first surface 11 side which is the main surface of the sheet-shaped transparent substrate 10. As the sheet-shaped transparent base material 10, a transparent base material that can be molded by heating described later is used. The thickness of the sheet-shaped transparent substrate 10 is not particularly limited as long as it can be molded and processed, but can be, for example, 50 μm to 5 mm. As the sheet-shaped transparent base material 10, a base material formed of a composition containing a thermoplastic resin as a main component is preferably used.

Specific examples of the thermoplastic resin, olefin resin such as polyethylene and polypropylene, polyethylene terephthalate resin, polyethylene naphthalate resin, polyester resin such as polybutylene terephthalate resin, polycarbonate resin, acrylate resin such as polymethylmethacrylate, polyamide resin, Examples thereof include polyimide resin, polyvinyl chloride resin, polyvinylidene chloride resin, polyvinyl alcohol resin, polystyrene resin and polyacrylonitrile resin. In particular, from the viewpoint of transparency and moldability, polyester excellent in solvent resistance, polycarbonate resin excellent in moldability, and polymethylmethacrylate excellent in hardness are preferable. The sheet-shaped transparent substrate 10 may be a laminated substrate as well as a single substrate. For example, a PMMA/PC film in which polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) is coextruded on a polycarbonate (PC), a film in which a polycarbonate film and a polyester film are laminated with an adhesive, or the like may be used.

In the composition for forming the sheet-shaped transparent substrate 10, if necessary, to the extent that the effects of the present invention are not impaired, an ultraviolet absorber, an ultraviolet stabilizer, a filler, a thixotropy imparting agent, an antiaging agent, Antioxidants, antistatic agents, flame retardants, thermal conductivity improvers, plasticizers, anti-sagging agents, antifouling agents, preservatives, bactericides, defoamers, leveling agents, curing agents, thickeners, pigment dispersions Various additives such as agents and silane coupling agents may be further added.

[Convex pattern]
In the first embodiment, the convex pattern 20 is formed by using a transparent member on the sheet-shaped transparent base material 10. The convex pattern 20 is reflected light in which external light transmitted through the sheet-shaped transparent substrate 10 is reflected on the uneven surface formed by the convex pattern 20, and the external light is the surface of the optical adjustment layer 30 and the coloring layer 40, etc. The reflected light that is reflected by the surface of the concave-convex surface formed by the convex pattern 20 is visually recognized by being emitted from the first surface 11 side of the sheet-shaped transparent substrate 10. This transparent member can be formed of the same material as or a different material from the sheet-shaped transparent substrate.

The cross-sectional shape of the convex pattern 20, that is, the cross-sectional shape in the lateral direction cut in the direction orthogonal to the surface of the decorative sheet for molding 1 is, for example, a rectangular shape, a trapezoidal shape, a substantially semicircular shape, a substantially semielliptical shape, or a triangular shape. Can be illustrated. The shape of the corner portion of the convex pattern 20 may be an obtuse angle or an acute angle in addition to the R shape.

The method for forming the convex pattern 20 is not particularly limited, but a printing method and an embossing method can be exemplified. As a material for forming the convex pattern 20, a thermoplastic resin, an actinic ray curable resin such as an ultraviolet ray or an electron beam, or a resin composition containing a thermosetting resin as a main component is preferably used. As a preferable example of the resin, the same resin as the sheet-shaped transparent substrate can be exemplified. When a thermoplastic resin is used, a resin whose molding temperature is higher than its softening point and lower than its melting temperature is used. In the case of an actinic ray curable resin, a resin having a reactive functional group that is cured by actinic rays and an additive such as a photopolymerization initiator or a sensitizer can be used as a composition. In the case of a thermosetting resin, the composition may be a self-crosslinking resin having a reactive functional group that is cured by heat, or a combination of a thermosetting resin and a curable compound. Compositions containing photopolymerizable or thermopolymerizable monomers are also suitable. For example, a resin having a (meth)acryloyl group in its side chain and a monomer having a radically polymerizable double bond capable of crosslinking with this (meth)acryloyl group can be used. Examples of the monomer having a radical-polymerizable double bond include (meth)acrylic monomers. The composition for forming the convex pattern 20 may further include various additives, for example, the additives exemplified in the sheet-shaped transparent substrate, if necessary.

In the printing method, the convex pattern 20 can be formed by preparing a transparent ink, pattern-printing the transparent ink on a sheet-shaped transparent substrate by, for example, screen printing, and performing a curing treatment if necessary. In the case of the ultraviolet curing type, an appropriate amount of ultraviolet rays is irradiated, and in the case of the heat curing type, an appropriate amount of heat is applied. At this stage, it may be semi-cured, and may be substantially completely cured by a molding step described later.

The embossing method is to prepare an ink, form a coating film on the entire surface of a sheet-shaped transparent substrate with the ink, perform embossing on the obtained coating film, and after embossing or as necessary. The convex pattern 20 can be formed by carrying out a curing process simultaneously with pressing. The curing treatment can be performed in the same manner as the printing method. When a thermosetting resin is used, it is effective to use thermocompression as the embossing and simultaneously perform the curing treatment.

The optimum average height of the convex pattern 20 varies depending on the design and the degree of molding, but from the viewpoint of maintaining good visibility, it is preferably 1 μm or more, more preferably 5 μm or more after molding. On the other hand, considering the productivity of the decorative sheet for molding, the upper limit of the average height of the convex pattern 20 is preferably 200 μm or less, and more preferably 100 μm or less in terms of the height before molding. When it is desired to increase the height of the convex pattern 20, an ultraviolet curable resin is preferable to a thermosetting resin. The average height of the convex pattern 20 refers to the height from the concave portion to the convex portion in the direction normal to the surface direction of the decorative decorative sheet 1. The height is measured according to JIS K5600-1-7.

The width of the convex pattern 20 in the lateral direction in a cross-sectional view can be arbitrarily set, but from the viewpoint of improving visibility, it is preferably 20 μm or more, and more preferably 50 μm or more. The upper limit of the width of the convex pattern 20 in cross section varies depending on the product to which the decorative sheet is applied, but when it is formed by screen printing, it is preferably 10 mm or less, and more preferably 5 mm or less. .. The width of the convex pattern 20 refers to the maximum width in a sectional view. The width can be measured using, for example, a digital microscope.

From the viewpoint of increasing the directivity of the convex pattern 20, it is preferable to increase the ratio of the height to the width in the lateral direction. This ratio can be easily adjusted depending on the viscosity of the ink when the convex pattern 20 is printed by screen printing or the like. Further, the height and width can be adjusted by changing the emulsion thickness of the screen plate.

When an uneven shape is formed by embossing, a layer for forming the convex pattern 20 is applied, set to a temperature equal to or higher than the softening point of the resin of the applied layer and lower than the thermal decomposition temperature, and under a pressure condition. For example, the convex pattern 20 can be formed by pressing for several seconds to several minutes.

[Optical adjustment layer]
In the first embodiment, the optical adjustment layer 30 is composed of a first optical adjustment layer 31 of the first layer, a second optical adjustment layer 32 of the second layer, and a first optical adjustment layer 33 of the third layer. It is composed of layers, and these layers are laminated in this order from the convex pattern 20 side.

The first optical adjustment layer 31 of the first layer and the first optical adjustment layer 33 of the third layer have a refractive index of 0.03 or more larger than the refractive index of the member forming the convex pattern 20, and In addition to being 1.80 or less, the visibility of the convex pattern 20 can be effectively enhanced by having an uneven shape derived from the convex pattern 20. The first optical adjustment layer 31 preferably contains an organic binder. By using the organic binder as the first optical adjustment layer, the adhesiveness between the convex pattern 20 and the sheet-shaped transparent substrate 10 can be increased as compared with an inorganic film made of an inorganic substance such as a metal oxide. Therefore, it is possible to provide a decorative sheet for molding which is excellent in moldability.

The second optical adjustment layer 32 of the second layer has a refractive index of 0.01 or more smaller than the refractive index of the first optical adjustment layer, and has a refractive index of 1.35 or more. By having the uneven shape derived from the pattern 20, the visibility of the convex pattern 20 can be more effectively exhibited in cooperation with the first optical adjustment layer. The second optical adjustment layer preferably contains an organic binder.

In other words, the three-layer structure of the optical adjustment layer 30 has a high refractive index layer, a low refractive index layer, and a high refractive index layer laminated in this order. The “high” and “low” of the high refractive index and the low refractive index described here represent the relative magnitude relationship of the refractive indexes of the both. The first optical adjustment layer is a high refractive index layer having a higher refractive index than the second optical adjustment layer, and the second optical adjustment layer is a low refractive index layer having a lower refractive index than the first optical adjustment layer. The refractive index values of both are not particularly limited, but from the viewpoint of ease of design, the refractive index of the first optical adjustment layer is preferably in the range of 1.55 to 1.8, and the second optical adjustment layer is 1.38. The range of to 1.5 is preferable. By alternately stacking the first optical adjustment layer and the second optical adjustment layer, the visibility of the convex pattern 20 can be more effectively enhanced.

The refractive index of the first optical adjusting layer and the second optical adjusting layer can be adjusted by an organic binder resin or a refractive index adjusting agent such as an inorganic filler added to the organic binder resin. These refractive index adjusting agents are, for example, particles of about 2 to 100 nm so as not to hinder transparency. The content of the refractive index adjusting agent is preferably less than 80% by mass, more preferably 75% by mass or less, and further preferably 70% by mass or less, from the viewpoint of improving moldability.

Examples of the organic binder resin for the first optical adjustment layers 31 and 33 include polycarbonate resins, polyester resins such as polyethylene terephthalate, acrylic resins such as polymethylmethacrylate, polystyrene resins, acrylonitrile-styrene copolymer resins, acrylonitrile-butadiene- Examples thereof include styrene resins such as styrene copolymers, polyolefin resins such as polyethylene and polypropylene, and thermoplastic resins obtained by blending a plurality of resins. Further, a monomer or oligomer that is polymerized by an actinic ray such as an ultraviolet ray, or a heat-polymerizable monomer or oligomer may be used as a precursor of the organic binder resin. Examples of the refractive index adjusting agent for the first optical adjusting layers 31 and 33 include fine particles of zirconium oxide, titanium oxide, zinc oxide, tin oxide, barium titanate, niobium oxide, aluminum oxide and the like.

The second optical adjustment layer 32 may have a refractive index smaller than that of the first optical adjustment layers 31 and 33 by 0.01 or more. Considering the refractive index used for the first optical adjustment layers 31 and 33, for example, It can be selected from the above organic binder resins. The same applies to the refractive index adjusting agent. Examples of the organic binder resin that easily exhibits a low refractive index include fluororesins. In addition, silica, hollow silica, magnesium fluoride and the like can be exemplified as the refractive index adjusting agent that easily exhibits a low refractive index.

The thickness of the optical adjustment layer per one layer is appropriately designed according to the number of stacked optical adjustment layers 30, the height of the convex pattern 20 and the cross-sectional shape so as to form a concavo-convex shape derived from the convex pattern 20. In general, the higher the height of the convex pattern 20, the larger the film thickness of the optical adjustment layer can be. The lower limit of the optical adjustment layer is not particularly limited as long as it has a covering property. Further, the thickness of the optical adjustment layer per layer may be appropriately designed according to the number of laminated optical adjustment layers. For example, when the height of the convex pattern 20 is 30 μm, when three layers are laminated, the thickness of each layer can be about 10 μm. Further, for example, in the case of a hemispherical dot pattern having a height of the convex pattern 20 of 10 μm and a diameter of 90 μm, the thickness of the optical adjustment layer composed of three layers is 0.1 to 2 μm, more preferably, independently for each layer. Can be 0.2 to 1.0 μm.
From the viewpoint of moldability, the thickness of the optical adjustment layer per layer is preferably 3 μm or less, more preferably 2 μm or less, still more preferably 1 μm or less.

The method for forming the first optical adjustment layers 31, 33 and the second optical adjustment layer 32 is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include comma coating, gravure coating, reverse coating, roll coating, lip coating, spray coating, screen printing, offset. Examples thereof include printing methods such as printing, gravure printing, and inkjet printing, and known coating methods such as spin coating and spraying.

Examples of the pearl pigment include particles containing a metal oxide in the surface layer, and examples thereof include particles in which natural mica is coated with a metal oxide such as titanium oxide or iron oxide. Examples of the metal oxide include oxides of metals such as zirconium, silicon, aluminum, and cerium, in addition to the above.
