Description

The present invention relates to an optical laminate for an OLED display. More specifically, the present invention relates to an optical laminate used in an OLED display device that does not use a polarizing plate.

OLED (Organic light emitting diode) display devices have advantages in display performance compared to liquid crystal display devices, such as higher visibility, less viewing angle dependence, and faster response speed. Further, since the OLED display device does not use a backlight, it is advantageous for making it thinner, and it can also be used as a foldable device that can be flexibly curved or folded.

An OLED display device typically has an OLED element in which an anode, an OLED layer including a light emitting layer, and a cathode are stacked in this order. The electrodes (anode or cathode) of OLED elements are made of transparent conductive materials with a high refractive index such as ITO or metal materials with high reflectance, so external light is reflected by the electrodes, resulting in decreased contrast and internal reflection. A problem of reflection may occur, and the display performance of the OLED display device may deteriorate.

In order to suppress the adverse effects of external light reflection, a proposal has been made to arrange a polarizing plate and a circularly polarizing plate such as a λ/4 plate on the viewing side of an OLED display device (for example, Patent Document 1). Such a circularly polarizing plate also has the function of blocking ultraviolet rays contained in external light and preventing deterioration of OLED elements due to ultraviolet rays. Furthermore, due to the mechanical properties of the circularly polarizing plate itself, it also has the function of absorbing external impact and preventing damage to the OLED display device.

However, when a circularly polarizing plate is used, the light utilization efficiency (i.e., lighting rate) is poor due to absorption by the polarizing plate, resulting in low brightness. Increasing the emission intensity of an OLED element to obtain desired brightness increases power consumption and shortens the life of the OLED element. In addition, the polarizing plate has a thickness of about 0.15 mm if an adhesive layer for pasting is included, which is disadvantageous for making the OLED display device thinner. Furthermore, since circularly polarizing plates are expensive, there is also the problem of increased manufacturing costs.

As an alternative to a circularly polarizing plate, by placing a color filter on the viewing side of the OLED element and aligning it so that the color filters of the same color as the OLED layer emit light face each other, it is possible to prevent the reflection of external light. , a method for improving the luminous intensity of an OLED element has been proposed (for example, Patent Document 2).

As one type of OLED display device, an OLED display device having a microcavity (multiple reflection interference, also referred to as an optical resonator or a microresonator) structure is known. According to an OLED display device having a microcavity structure, the spectrum of light extracted to the outside becomes steep and high intensity, so that brightness and color purity can be improved (for example, Patent Document 3).

In an OLED display device, layers of various optical elements such as an adhesive layer, a base material such as plastic or thin glass, and a hard coat layer are laminated to provide functions such as surface protection and flexibility on the viewing side of the OLED element. has been done.

That is, the OLED display device of the present invention is an OLED display device that does not include a polarizing plate on the viewing side of the OLED element.
The degree of polarization is determined by the following formula based on parallel transmittance Tp and cross transmittance Tc measured using an ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometer and corrected for visibility.
Degree of polarization (%) = {(Tp-Tc)/(Tp+Tc)}1/2×100

Since the OLED display device of the present invention does not include a polarizing plate on the viewing side of the OLED element, absorption of light emitted from the OLED element by the polarizing plate is suppressed, improving the light absorption rate and saving power consumption.

(OLED display panel)
The OLED display panel used in the OLED display device of the present invention includes, as essential components, an OLED element in which an anode, an OLED layer including a light emitting layer, and a cathode are stacked in this order. The optical laminate of the present invention is laminated on the viewing side of the OLED elements of an OLED display panel.

Hereinafter, one embodiment of an OLED display panel constituting an OLED display device of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings, but the present invention is not limited to this embodiment.
FIG. 1 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing one embodiment of an OLED display panel of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 1, the OLED display panel 100 includes a red OLED element 12R in which a transparent electrode 11a, a red OLED layer 10R that emits red light, a back electrode 11b are laminated in this order, a transparent electrode 11a, and a red OLED layer 10R that emits red light. A green OLED element 12G in which a green OLED layer 10G that emits light and a back electrode 11b are stacked in this order, a transparent electrode 11a, and a blue OLED in which a blue OLED layer 10B that emits blue light and a back electrode 11b are stacked in this order. It has an element 12B. OLED elements 12R, 12G, and 12B of each plurality of colors are arranged in order on the substrate 13. A TFT (Thin Film Transistor) layer 14 is formed on the surface of the substrate 13 on which each OLED element is arranged, and is connected to the back electrode 11b of each of the OLED elements 12R, 12G, and 12B of a plurality of colors.

In the OLED display panel 100 of FIG. 1, a color filter 15 is arranged on the viewing side (upper side in FIG. 1) of each of the plurality of color OLED elements 12R, 12G, and 12B. The color filter 15 includes a red colored layer 15R, a green colored layer 15G, and a blue colored layer 15B, and a black matrix layer 16 is provided between each colored layer.

In FIG. 1, the color filter 15 is arranged such that a red colored layer 15R, a green colored layer 15G, and a blue colored layer 15B face a red OLED element 12R, a green OLED element 12G, and a blue OLED element 12B, respectively. has been done.

The transparent electrode 11a is either a cathode or an anode, and is generally provided as a cathode. Transparent conductive materials such as ITO (indium tin oxide), indium oxide, IZO (indium zinc oxide), SnO ₂ , and ZnO are used as the material for forming the transparent electrode 11a.

The back electrode 11b functions as a counter electrode to the transparent electrode 11a. The back electrode 11b is either an anode or a cathode, but is generally provided on the substrate 13 as an anode. Examples of the forming material include metals such as gold, silver, and chromium. Therefore, the back electrode 11b is capable of reflecting light.

A bonding layer 17 is provided between the substrate 13 and the color filter 15. The bonding layer 17 has translucency. As the material for the bonding layer 17, any material used in general OLED display devices may be used, and for example, a photocurable resin such as a photosensitive polyimide resin, a thermosetting resin, or the like may be used.

In addition to the configuration shown in FIG. 1, the OLED display panel 100 includes configurations that an OLED display panel has, such as a hole injection layer, a hole transport layer, an electron transport layer, a sealing layer, and a touch sensor panel. (not shown).

The feature of the OLED display panel of FIG. 1 is that a color filter 15 is arranged on each of the OLED elements 12R, 12G, and 12B of a plurality of colors so that colored layers 15R, 15G, and 15B of the same color face each other. It is that it is placed. As shown in FIG. 1, external light W, which is white, passes through, for example, a red colored layer 15R, and further passes through a transparent electrode 11a and a red OLED layer 10R that emits red light, and then reaches a back electrode 11b. The reflected light G passes through the red OLED layer 10R, the transparent electrode 11a, and the red colored layer 15R again, and enters the observer's eyes.

Since the green and blue components of the external light W are absorbed by the red colored layer 15R, the light intensity is reduced to 1/3. Further, since the reflected light G passes through the red colored layer 15R and the red OLED layer 10R again, this causes attenuation. Further, since the reflected light G has a red color, the red light emitted from the OLED layer 10R can be enhanced. Similarly, when external light W is incident on the green colored layer 15G and the blue colored layer 15B, green light and blue light can be respectively enhanced. Therefore, by using a color filter together with an OLED display panel, reflection of external light can be significantly suppressed and the luminous intensity of the OLED element can be improved without using a circularly polarizing plate for antireflection.

However, color filters are generally prone to interference unevenness due to their regular two-dimensional structure.
In addition, color filters have a problem in that reflection is likely to occur at the interface, reducing the rate of light emitted from the OLED element.
Another problem with color filters is that they do not have sufficient ultraviolet absorption function compared to the case of using circularly polarizing plates, and OLED elements tend to deteriorate over time due to ultraviolet rays contained in external light (i.e., have low weather resistance). There is.
Additionally, color filters have a problem in that they do not have a sufficient impact absorption function compared to the case where a circularly polarizing plate is used.

Further, the OLED display panel 100 of this embodiment has a microcavity structure. Light generated from the OLED layers 10R, 10G, and 10B passes through the transparent electrode 11a and is emitted to the outside. Here, the emitted light includes "direct light" emitted directly from the OLED layers 10R, 10G, 10B toward the transparent electrode 11a, and "direct light" emitted from the OLED layers 10R, 10G, 10B toward the back electrode 11b, Both components of the "reflected light" that is reflected by the electrode 11b and then directed toward the transparent electrode 11a are included. That is, a first optical path C1 in which a part of the light emitted from the OLED layers 10R, 10G, and 10B proceeds to the transparent electrode 11a side without proceeding to the back electrode 11b side, and is emitted to the outside through the transparent electrode 11a; The remaining part of the light emitted from the OLED layers 10R, 10G, 10B travels toward the back electrode 11b, is reflected by the back electrode 11b, and is then emitted to the outside through the OLED layers 10R, 10G, 10B and the transparent electrode 11a. A second optical path C2 is formed. The thicknesses of the OLED layers 10R, 10G, and 10B are made different so that the light components corresponding to each color are strengthened by interference between the direct light and the reflected light. That is, the OLED layer is designed so that the optical path length between the back electrode (positive electrode) 11b and the transparent electrode (negative electrode) 11a matches the EL spectrum peak wavelength of each of red, green, and blue, and the strongest light is extracted from each color. 10R, 10G, and 10B have different thicknesses. Specifically, the short wavelength blue OLED layer 10B is designed to be thin, and the long wavelength red OLED layer 10R is designed to be thick. The light generated in the OLED layer is repeatedly reflected between the positive and negative electrodes, and by resonating and emphasizing only the light with wavelengths that match the optical path length, and weakening the light with other wavelengths that have mismatched optical path lengths. , the spectrum of light extracted to the outside becomes steeper and more intense, improving brightness and color purity.
Although an OLED display panel with a microcavity structure has the excellent effect of improving brightness and color purity, it has the problem of strong viewing angle dependence (narrow viewing angle) due to its steep spectrum. may occur. For this reason, when an image is viewed from an angle during image display, a color shift may occur that makes the image appear to be a different color from the color originally desired to be displayed.

At least one type of UV absorber selected from the group consisting of UV absorbers, benzophenone UV absorbers, and hydroxyphenyltriazine UV absorbers is preferred, and benzotriazole UV absorbers and benzophenone UV absorbers are more preferred. Particularly preferred are benzotriazole ultraviolet absorbers in which a group having 6 or more carbon atoms and a phenyl group having a hydroxyl group as a substituent are bonded to the nitrogen atom constituting the benzotriazole ring. Furthermore, from the viewpoint of preventing deterioration in appearance due to precipitation of the ultraviolet absorber, it is preferable to use a liquid ultraviolet absorber or two or more types of ultraviolet absorbers.

Further, in order to obtain higher ultraviolet absorbency, the ultraviolet absorber preferably has an absorbance A determined below of 0.5 or less.
Absorbance A: Absorbance measured by applying light with a wavelength of 400 nm to a 0.08% toluene solution of the ultraviolet absorber.

When the adhesive layer of the present invention contains an ultraviolet absorber, the content of the ultraviolet absorber in the adhesive layer of the present invention (particularly the acrylic adhesive layer) is not particularly limited, but the content of the ultraviolet absorber in the adhesive layer of the present invention is not particularly limited.

More preferably, the amount is 20 parts by weight or less, more preferably 10 parts by weight or less, and even more preferably 8 parts by weight or less, based on 100 parts by weight of the acrylic polymer.

For example, although the ultraviolet absorber can absorb light with a wavelength of 380 nm, it cannot absorb enough light in the wavelength region (380 nm to 430 nm) shorter than the light emitting region of the OLED element (longer wavelength than 430 nm). The transmitted light may cause deterioration. The dye compound can suppress the transmission of light having a wavelength shorter than 430 nm (380 nm to 430 nm) than the emission region of the OLED element (wavelength longer than 430 nm), and the ultraviolet absorber and the dye compound are used together.

The amount of the dye compound is preferably about 0.1 to 10 parts by weight, more preferably about 0.1 to 5 parts by weight, based on 100 parts by weight of the base polymer (for example, acrylic polymer). More preferably, it is 0.5 to 3 parts by weight.

The dye compound is not particularly limited as long as it has a maximum absorption wavelength in the absorption spectrum in a wavelength range of 380 to 430 nm.

Note that such additives can be used alone or in combination of two or more.

The method for producing the adhesive layer (particularly the acrylic adhesive layer) of the present invention is not particularly limited, but for example, the adhesive composition is coated on a base material (including a resin layer and a glass layer described below) or a release liner. The pressure-sensitive adhesive composition layer may be coated (coated) on a base material (including a resin layer and a glass layer to be described later) or a release liner, and the resulting pressure-sensitive adhesive composition layer may be dried and cured. An example of this method is to irradiate the resulting adhesive composition layer with active energy rays to cure it. Moreover, if necessary, it may be further dried by heating.

Examples of the active energy rays include ionizing radiation such as α rays, β rays, γ rays, neutron beams, and electron beams, and ultraviolet rays, with ultraviolet rays being particularly preferred. Furthermore, the irradiation energy, irradiation time, irradiation method, etc. of the active energy rays are not particularly limited.

The pressure-sensitive adhesive composition can be produced by a known or commonly used method. For example, a solvent-based acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive composition can be produced by mixing additives (for example, ultraviolet absorbers, etc.) into a solution containing the acrylic polymer, if necessary. For example, an active energy ray-curable acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive composition can be prepared by mixing an additive (for example, an ultraviolet absorber, etc.) with the mixture of acrylic monomers or a partial polymer thereof, if necessary. It can be made.

Note that a known coating method may be used for applying (coating) the pressure-sensitive adhesive composition. For example, coaters such as a gravure roll coater, a reverse roll coater, a kiss roll coater, a dip roll coater, a bar coater, a knife coater, a spray coater, a comma coater, and a direct coater may be used.

In particular, when forming an adhesive layer using an active energy ray-curable adhesive composition, it is preferable that the active energy ray-curable adhesive composition contains a photopolymerization initiator. In addition, when the active energy ray-curable pressure-sensitive adhesive composition contains an ultraviolet absorber, it is preferable to include at least a photopolymerization initiator having light absorption characteristics in a wide wavelength range. For example, it is preferable to include at least a photopolymerization initiator that has absorption characteristics not only for ultraviolet light but also for visible light. This is because there is a concern that the effect of ultraviolet absorbers may inhibit curing by active energy rays, but if the adhesive composition contains a photoinitiator that has light-absorbing properties over a wide wavelength range, the adhesive composition will have high photocurability. This is because it is easier to obtain.

The surface shape of the anti-glare layer of the present invention can be arbitrarily designed by controlling the aggregation state of particles contained in the anti-glare layer forming material. The agglomeration state of the particles can be controlled by, for example, the material of the particles (for example, the chemical modification state of the particle surface, the affinity for solvents and resins, etc.), the type and combination of resins (binder) or solvents, and the like. Here, the agglomeration state of the particles can be controlled by the thixotropy imparting agent contained in the anti-glare layer forming material of the present invention. As a result, the agglomeration state of the particles can be made as described above, and the convex portion can have a gentle shape.

In the anti-glare layer of the present invention, it is preferable that the number of appearance defects having a maximum diameter of 200 μm or more is one or less per 1 m ² of the anti-glare layer. More preferably, there is no appearance defect.

In the uneven shape of the surface of the anti-glare layer of the present invention, the average inclination angle θa (°) is preferably in the range of 0.1 to 5.0, more preferably in the range of 0.3 to 4.5. , more preferably in the range of 1.0 to 4.0, particularly preferably 1.6 to 4.0. Here, the average inclination angle θa is a value defined by the following formula (1). The average inclination angle θa is a value measured by the method described in JP-A-2017-138620, for example.
Average inclination angle θa=tan-1Δa (1)

In the above formula (1), Δa is the maximum of the peaks and valleys of adjacent peaks in the standard length L of the roughness curve specified in JIS B0601 (1994 edition), as shown in the formula (2) below. This is the value obtained by dividing the total (h1+h2+h3...+hn) of the difference (height h) from the lower point by the reference length L. The roughness curve is a curve obtained by removing surface waviness components longer than a predetermined wavelength from a cross-sectional curve using a phase difference compensating high-pass filter. Further, the cross-sectional curve is a contour that appears at a cut end when the target surface is cut by a plane perpendicular to the target surface.
Δa=(h1+h2+h3...+hn)/L (2)

When θa is within the above range, the anti-glare property is more excellent and white blur can be prevented.

In forming the anti-glare layer of the present invention, it is preferable that the prepared anti-glare layer forming material (coating liquid) exhibits thixotropy, and has a Ti value defined below of 1.3 to 3.5. It is preferably in the range of 1.3 to 2.8, and more preferably in the range of 1.3 to 2.8.
Ti value = β1/β2
Here, β1 is the viscosity measured at a shear rate of 20 (1/s) using Rheostress 6000 manufactured by HAAKE, and β2 is the viscosity measured at a shear rate of 200 (1/s) using Rheostress 6000 manufactured by HAAKE. This is the viscosity measured under the following conditions.

When the Ti value is less than 1.3, defects in appearance are likely to occur, and properties regarding anti-glare properties and white blurring deteriorate. Furthermore, when the Ti value exceeds 3.5, the particles are less likely to aggregate and become more likely to be in a dispersed state.

The solvent is not particularly limited, and various solvents can be used, and one type may be used alone or two or more types may be used in combination. There are optimal solvent types and solvent ratios depending on the composition of the resin, the types and contents of the particles and the thixotropy-imparting agent, and the like. Examples of the solvent include, but are not limited to, alcohols such as methanol, ethanol, isopropyl alcohol, butanol, and 2-methoxyethanol; ketones such as acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, methyl isobutyl ketone, and cyclopentanone; methyl acetate, ethyl acetate. , esters such as butyl acetate; ethers such as diisopropyl ether and propylene glycol monomethyl ether; glycols such as ethylene glycol and propylene glycol; cellosolves such as ethyl cellosolve and butyl cellosolve; aliphatic hydrocarbons such as hexane, heptane, and octane. Aromatic hydrocarbons such as benzene, toluene, xylene, etc.

For example, when using organoclay, toluene and xylene can be preferably used alone or in combination; for example, when using an oxidized polyolefin, methyl ethyl ketone, ethyl acetate, propylene glycol monomethyl ether can preferably be used alone. They can be used or used in combination. For example, when using modified urea, butyl acetate and methyl isobutyl ketone can be suitably used alone or in combination.

Various leveling agents can be added to the anti-glare layer forming material. As the leveling agent, for example, a fluorine-based or silicone-based leveling agent can be used for the purpose of preventing uneven coating (uniform coating surface). The leveling agent is selected as appropriate depending on the case where antifouling properties are required on the surface of the anti-glare layer of the present invention, or when an anti-reflection layer or a layer containing an interlayer filler is formed on the anti-glare layer. be able to. For example, by including the thixotropy imparting agent, the coating liquid can exhibit thixotropy, so that coating unevenness is less likely to occur. For this reason, it has the advantage that, for example, the options for the leveling agent can be expanded.

The blending amount of the leveling agent is, for example, 5 parts by weight or less, preferably in the range of 0.01 to 5 parts by weight, based on 100 parts by weight of the resin.

If necessary, pigments, fillers, dispersants, plasticizers, ultraviolet absorbers, surfactants, antifouling agents, antioxidants, etc. may be added to the anti-glare layer forming material within a range that does not impair performance. may be done. These additives may be used alone or in combination of two or more.

The irradiation amount of the energy ray source is preferably 50 to 500 mJ/cm ² as a cumulative exposure amount at an ultraviolet wavelength of 365 nm. If the irradiation amount is 50 mJ/cm ² or more, curing will be more sufficient, and the anti-glare layer formed will also have more sufficient hardness. Moreover, if it is 500 mJ/cm ² or less, coloring of the formed anti-glare layer can be prevented.
