Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は低反射ガラス物品、特に可視光反射率が小さい自動車用ガラス物品に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来、ガラス板その他のガラス物品の表面で可視光が反射して透視性、光透過率が低下したり、眩しくなることを防止するために、ガラス物品の表面に反射防止処理を施すことが行われている。
【0003】
例えば、(1)R.B.Muchmore, J.Opt,Soc,Amer.,1948,38,20-26には、ガラス基板上に高屈折率膜の層と低屈折率膜の層からなる光学多層膜について記載されている。
【0004】
(2)特開平4−357134号公報には、ガラス面から第1層目に屈折率1.8〜1.9、膜厚70〜90nm、2層目に屈折率1.4〜1.5、膜厚110〜130nmの薄膜層を被覆積層してなり、該表面の垂直線に対し入射角50〜70度で入射し反射する反射率がガラス面の反射率に比し、4.5〜6.5%低減するようにせしめた車両用反射低減ガラスについて開示されている。
【0005】
(3)特開平8−152501号公報には、ガラス面から第1層目に屈折率1.7〜1.8、膜厚90〜110nm、2層目に屈折率1.4〜1.5、膜厚105〜130nmの薄膜層を被覆積層してなり、該表面の垂直線に対し入射角50〜70度で入射し反射する反射率がガラス面の反射率に比し、4.5〜6.5%低減するようにせしめ、しかも前記50〜70度の入射光に対する反射光の刺激純度を18%以下としたことでなる車両用反射低減ガラスについて開示されている。
【0006】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
前記(1)については、屈折率n0=1.52のガラス基板上に、屈折率n1の高屈折率膜の層と屈折率n2の低屈折率膜の層を積層した光学薄膜について述べられている。低屈折率膜の層として、n2=1.38のMgF2を用いており、空気の屈折率をn3=1とすると、n1の最適値は、下記式から
【数1】
1=〔(n22×n0/n31/2
1 1.70を得る。ただし、このMgF2は耐環境性が悪く、自動車用ガラスの曲げ焼成工程に適用できないという問題点があった。
【0007】
前記(2)については低屈折率膜の層としてSiO2を用いているため、耐環境性については優れており、自動車用ガラスの曲げ焼成工程にも適用できるが、上記式における最適値n1=1.79 (n2=1.45)に対して、n1=1.80〜1.90の高屈折率膜の層で膜厚70〜90nmに設定しているため、反射率を下げると、反射光の刺激純度が大きくなるという問題点があった。
【0008】
前記(3)については、高屈折率膜の屈折率をn1=1.70〜1.80に設定し、50〜70度の入射光に対する反射率の低減および反射光の刺激純度は18%以下に改善されているものの、膜厚みの最適化がなされていないため、0〜20度の入射光に対する反射率の低減は不十分であり、しかも反射光の刺激純度の値も大きいままであった。
【0009】
本発明は高入射角での反射率および反射光の刺激純度を小さくすると同時に、低入射角の反射率および反射光の刺激純度を小さくし、視認性が向上した自動車用低反射ガラス物品を提供することを目的とする。
【0010】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明の請求項1に係る発明は、透明ガラス基体の少なくとも片側表面に、ガラス面側から数えて第1層の膜の屈折率(n1)が1.65〜2.20で、かつ膜厚が110〜150nmである薄膜層を被覆してなり、次いで該第1層薄膜上に、第2層として屈折率(n2)が1.40〜1.4でかつ膜厚が81〜100nmである実質的にSiO 2 のみからなる薄膜層を被覆積層してなり、可視光を膜面側から12度および60度の入射角でそれぞれ入射したときの反射光がそれぞれ22%以下および10%以下の刺激純度を有する自動車用低反射ガラス物品である。
0011
請求項3に係る発明は、透明ガラス基体の少なくとも片側表面に、ガラス面側から数えて第1層の膜の屈折率(n 1 )が1.65〜2.20で、かつ膜厚が110〜150nmである薄膜層を被覆してなり、次いで該第1層薄膜上に、第2層として屈折率(n 2 )が1.40〜1.49でかつ膜厚が81〜100nmである実質的にSiO 2 を主成分とし、B 2 3 及び/又はAl 2 3 のみを含む薄膜層を被覆積層してなり、可視光を膜面側から12度および60度の入射角でそれぞれ入射したときの反射光がそれぞれ22%以下および10%以下の刺激純度を有する自動車用低反射ガラス物品である。
【001
本発明において、前記第1層を屈折率(n1)が1.65〜2.20でかつ膜厚が110〜150nmである薄膜層としたのは、屈折率n1が2.20よりも大きくなると、特定波長の反射率は下げられるものの、可視域全体でみると着色や反射が強くなって、可視光透過率が70%以下となり、所望の反射低減効果が得られないためである。
【001
第1層の屈折率n1が1.65未満であると、反射光の刺激純度の値は小さくできるが、高入射角から低入射角にわたる入射光に対して充分な反射光強度の低減効果が得られない。第1層の高屈折率膜の屈折率の好ましい範囲は、1.67から1.80である。また第1層膜の厚みが110nmより小さいと、低入射角度における反射率および反射光の刺激純度が大きくなり、150nmより大きくなると高低いずれの入射角度における刺激純度が大きくなり、好ましくない。
【001
前記第2層を、本発明の請求項1および2に係る発明においては、実質的にSiO 2 からなる低屈折率膜の層とし、あるいは、本発明の請求項3に係る発明においては、実質的にSiO 2 を主成分としB 2 3 及び/又はAl 2 3 のみを含む低屈折率膜の層としたのは、SiO 2 が化学的安定性、熱的安定性、機械的強度に優れているからである。第2層はSiO 2 を主成分とするが、それ以外に、請求項3に係る発明のように、23、Al23等の酸化物を合計で15モル%以下含有していても差し支えない。
【001
前記第2層の屈折率(n 2 )を、本発明の請求項1または2に係る発明においては、1.40〜1.47とし、あるいは、本発明の請求項3に係る発明においては、1.40〜1.49とした。下限を1.40としたのは、SiO 2 の屈折率は1.45程度であるが、SiO 2 の膜の表面に微小な凹凸形状を形成したり、SiO 2 の膜の内部を独立泡状または貫通気孔状の多孔質とすることにより、見掛けの屈折率を下げてもよく、また、低屈折率を有する無機微粒子を入れて、屈折率を下げてもよいからである。屈折率を1.45より小さくすることにより、反射低減効果が大きくなる。
しかしながら薄膜の見掛けの屈折率を1.37より小さくすると、膜の密度が小さくなったり、表面の凹凸形状が大きくなったりして、耐摩耗性、耐薬品性、防汚性、耐候性などが悪くなる。屈折率が1.49を超えると、所望の反射低減効果が得られない。実質的にSiO 2 からなる好ましい第2層の屈折率(n2)は1.40〜1.47である。
前記第2層の膜の厚みを、本発明の請求項1〜3に係る発明において、81〜100nmとした。これは、低屈折率の第2膜の厚みが100nmより大きくなると、低入射角度の反射率および反射光の刺激純度が大きくなり、81nmよりも小さくなると反射光の強度を充分に減ずることができなくなるからである
【001
前記第1層薄膜層の薄膜はSiO2およびTiO2を含有することが好ましい。屈折率が比較的高いTiO2(2.25程度)と屈折率が比較的低いSiO2(1.45程度)とを種々組み合わせて混合することで、自由にコントロールして屈折率が1.65〜2.20になるような複合膜を得やく、かつ耐久性に優れるものとなる。その他の成分として、ZrO2(屈折率1.95程度)、CeO2、BiO3等を、それら合計で10質量%以下の量添加してもよい。第1層薄膜層をモル比でTiO2:SiO2=35:65〜60:40である薄膜とし、第2層薄膜層をSiO2薄膜とすることが好ましい。前記各成分の組み合わせの中でも、TiO2およびSiO2はアルコキシドが安定で成膜性がよく、均質な膜が得やく、最も優れた反射率低減効果が得られ、かつ高耐久性を有する。
【001
さらにまた、ガラス基板としては、透明ガラスであれば無色あるいは有色のどちらでもよい、すなわち例えばグリーン、ブロンズ、グレーあるいは高性能UVカットグリーンガラス、高性能UVカットブロンズガラス等でもよく、特に自動車用窓材ではグリーン色系、なかでも熱線・紫外線吸収性能を得やすいものであれば、より好ましいものである。また単板で使用できることはもとより、合せガラス、熱線反射ガラス、また複層あるいは強化ガラスまたは、曲げガラス等としても使用できることは言うまでもなく、通常は1.5〜6.5mの厚み(合せガラスまたは複層ガラスの場合は各外側面間の距離)を有するものが用いられる。
【001
本発明の高屈折率膜および低屈折率膜を形成する方法としては、スパッタ法、CVD法で形成することが可能であるが、コストの面からゾル−ゲル法による方が望ましい。ゾル−ゲル法によるコーティングについてはスピンコート法、ディップコート法、メニスカスコート法、フローコート法、ロールコート法、グラビアコート法、フレキソ印刷法、スクリーン印刷法などが用いられる。
【001
本発明の高屈折率膜および低屈折率膜をゾル−ゲル法により、例えば、酸化チタン、および酸化ケイ素を含有する光学薄膜を形成する場合、そのコーティング液組成物は、チタン化合物、ケイ素化合物および溶媒からなり、チタン化合物とケイ素化合物を有機溶媒に混合することにより得られる。
【0020
チタン化合物としてはチタンアルコキシド、チタンアルコキシド塩化物、チタンキレート化物などが用いられる。チタンアルコキシドとしてはチタンメトキシド、チタンエトキシド、チタンn−プロポキシド、チタンn−ブトキシド、チタンイソブトキシド、チタンメトキシプロポキシド、チタンステアリルオキシド、チタン2−エチルヘキシオキシドなどが例示できる。チタンアルコキシド塩化物としてはチタンクロリドトリイソプロポキシド、チタンジクロリドジエトキシドなどが挙げられる。チタンキレート化物としては、チタントリイソプロポキサシド(2,4−ペンタンジオネート)、チタンジイソプロポキシド(ビス−2,4−ペンタンジオネート)、チタンアリルアセテートトリイソプロポキシド、チタンビス(トリエタノールアミン)ジイソプロポキシド、チタンジ−n−ブトキシド(ビス−2,4−ペンタンジオネート)などが用いられる。
【002
ケイ素化合物としてはシリコンアルコキシドをアルコールなどの溶媒に混ぜ、酸性や塩基性の触媒で加水分解、重合を進めたものが用いられる。シリコンアルコキシドとしてはシリコンメトキシド、シリコンエトキシドあるいはそれらのオリゴマー体が用いられる。
【002
前記低屈折率膜用のコーティング液組成物としてケイ素化合物の他に含有させるホウ素化合物としては、ボロンメトキシド、ボロンエトキシド、ボロンn−プロポキシド、ボロンi−プロポキシド、ボロンn−ブトキシド、ボロンs−ブトキシド、ボロンt−ブトキシドおよびこれらのキレート化合物が用いられる。
【002
また、前記低屈折率膜用のコーティング液組成物として添加されるアルミニウム化合物としては、アルミニウムメトキシド、アルミニウムエトキシド、アルミニウムn−プロポキシド、アルミニウムi−プロポキシド、アルミニウムn−ブトキシド、アルミニウムs−ブトキシド、アルミニウムt−ブトキシドおよびこれらのキレート化合物が用いられる。キレート化合物としては、アルミニウム(ジ−s−ブトキシド)エチルアセトアセトネート、アルミニウム(s−ブトキシド)ビスエチルアセトアセトネート、アルミニウム(ジi−プロポキシド)エチルアセトアセトネートなどが好便に用いられる。
【002
酸触媒としては、塩酸、硫酸、硝酸、塩化水素酸、酢酸、しゅう酸、トリクロロ酢酸、トリフルオロ酢酸、リン酸、フッ酸、蟻酸などが用いられる。塩基性触媒としてはアンモニア、アミン類が用いられる。
【002
上記高屈折率膜および低屈折率膜の形成に用いられるコーティング液組成物に用いられる有機溶媒は、コーティング方法に依存するが、メタノール、エタノール、イソプロパノール、ブタノール、ヘキサノール、オクタノール、2−メトキシエタノール、2−エトキシエタノール、2−ブトキシエタノール、セロソルブアセテート、ジエチレングリコールモノエチルエーテル、へキシレングリコール、ジエチレングリコール、トリプロピレングリコール、ジアセトンアルコールなどが挙げられる。
【002
コーティング液組成物は上述した溶媒を単独でまたはコーティング液の粘度、表面張力などを調節するために複数用いても構わない。また安定化剤、レベリング剤、増粘剤などを必要に応じて少量加えても構わない。溶媒使用量は最終的に得られる高屈折率膜および低屈折率膜の膜厚、採用するコーティング方法にも依存するが、通常は全固形分が1〜20%の範囲内に入るように使用される。
【002
上記コーティング液組成物を前記塗布方法で塗布したあと、乾燥または/および250℃以上の温度で加熱焼成して、次の塗布液を塗布する工程を繰り返すことにより低反射ガラス物品が完成する。このようにして得られた被膜は、透明性、耐環境性、耐擦傷性などの性能に優れ、積層を重ねても、高屈折率膜の層と低屈折率膜の層の緻密化の過程における熱収縮率の違いにより生じやすい膜剥離およびクラックの生成を抑制することができる。
【002
上記の250℃以上の加熱による乾燥/焼成を用いる製造方法に代えて次に述べる光照射方法を用いることもできる。すなわち、上記コーティング液組成物を前記塗布方法で塗布したあと、可視光線よりも波長の短い電磁波を塗膜に照射する工程を行い、引き続いて次の塗布液を塗布する工程を行うという、塗布−乾燥工程を繰り返す方法である。可視光線より短い波長を有する電磁波としては、γ線、X線、紫外線があるが、大面積を有する基体への照射を考慮した装置上の実用性の点から紫外線照射が好ましい。紫外光源としてはエキシマランプ、低圧水銀ランプ、高圧水銀ランプ、メタルハライドランプなどが用いられる。365nmを主波長とし254nm、303nmを効率良く発光する高圧水銀ランプを用いて、10mW/cm2以上、好ましくは50mW/cm2以上、さらに好ましくは100mW/cm2以上の照射強度で塗膜に照射することが望ましい。このような紫外線光源を用いて、100mJ/cm2以上、好ましくは500mJ/cm2以上、さらに好ましくは1000mJ/cm2以上の照射エネルギーを、本発明のコーティング液組成物を用いて塗布された塗膜面に塗布することにより、低温で透明性、耐環境性、耐擦傷性などの性能に優れ、クラックの生じにくい積層膜を与える。
【002
また紫外線を照射しながら熱による乾燥および/または焼成を同時に行ってもよい。紫外線照射による乾燥方法と、好ましくは250℃以下の温度での熱乾燥による乾燥工程を同時に用いることにより、透明性、耐環境性、耐擦傷性などの性能に優れた塗膜を与え、積層を重ねても高屈折率膜の層と低屈折率膜の層の緻密化の過程における熱収縮率の違いにより生じやすい膜剥離およびクラックの生成を抑制することができる。このように紫外線照射を利用することにより、乾燥工程の高速化がなされ生産性を飛躍的に向上させることができる。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
  The present invention relates to a low reflection glass article, and more particularly to an automotive glass article having a low visible light reflectance.
[0002]
[Prior art]
  Conventionally, the surface of a glass article has been subjected to an antireflection treatment in order to prevent visible light from being reflected on the surface of the glass plate or other glass article to reduce the transparency, light transmittance, or dazzle. It has been broken.
[0003]
  For example, (1) RBMuchmore, J.Opt, Soc, Amer., 1948,38,20-26 describes an optical multilayer film comprising a high refractive index film layer and a low refractive index film layer on a glass substrate. Has been described.
[0004]
(2) JP-A-4-357134GazetteThe first layer from the glass surface has a refractive index of 1.8 to 1.9 and a film thickness of 70 to 90 nm, and the second layer is a thin film layer having a refractive index of 1.4 to 1.5 and a film thickness of 110 to 130 nm. Covered and laminated, the reflectivity incident and reflected at an incident angle of 50 to 70 degrees with respect to the vertical line of the surface was reduced by 4.5 to 6.5% compared to the reflectivity of the glass surface. A vehicle reflection reducing glass is disclosed.
[0005]
(3) JP-A-8-152501GazetteThe first layer from the glass surface has a refractive index of 1.7 to 1.8 and a film thickness of 90 to 110 nm, and the second layer has a refractive index of 1.4 to 1.5 and a film thickness of 105 to 130 nm. The coating layer is laminated, and the reflectance that is incident and reflected at an incident angle of 50 to 70 degrees with respect to the vertical line of the surface is reduced by 4.5 to 6.5% compared to the reflectance of the glass surface, Moreover, a vehicle reflection-reducing glass is disclosed in which the stimulation purity of the reflected light with respect to the incident light of 50 to 70 degrees is 18% or less.
[0006]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
  For (1) above, the refractive index n0= 1.52 on a glass substrate with a refractive index n1Layer of high refractive index film and refractive index n2An optical thin film in which layers of low refractive index films are stacked is described. As a layer of a low refractive index film, n2= 1.38 MgF2And the refractive index of air is nThree= 1, n1The optimal value of,
[Expression 1]
    n1= [(N2)2× n0/ NThree]1/2
n 1 =1.70Get.However, this MgF2Has a problem that it has poor environmental resistance and cannot be applied to the bending and firing process of automotive glass.
[0007]
  As for the above (2), SiO is used as a low refractive index film layer.2Therefore, it has excellent environmental resistance and can be applied to the bending and baking process of automotive glass.Above formulaOptimal value n1= 1.79 (n2= 1.45), n1= 1.80 to 1.90 high refractive index film layerTheSince the thickness is set to 70 to 90 nm, there is a problem that the stimulation purity of the reflected light increases when the reflectance is lowered.
[0008]
  For (3) above, the refractive index of the high refractive index film is set to n.1= 1.70 to 1.80, and the reduction of reflectance for incident light of 50 to 70 degrees and the stimulation purity of reflected light are improved to 18% or less, but the film thickness is not optimized Therefore, the reduction of the reflectance with respect to incident light of 0 to 20 degrees is insufficient, and the value of the stimulation purity of the reflected light remains large.
[0009]
  The present invention,For automobiles with improved visibility by reducing reflectivity at high incident angles and stimulus purity of reflected light, and at the same time reducing reflectivity at low incident angles and stimulus purity of reflected light.Low reflectionAn object is to provide a glass article.
[0010]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
  The present inventionInvention of Claim 1Is the refractive index (n of the first layer film counted from the glass surface side) on at least one surface of the transparent glass substrate.1) Is 1.65 to 2.20, and the film thickness is 110 to 150 nm.Coated withNext, a refractive index (n2) Is 1.40~ 1.47And the film thickness is 81 to 100 nm.Substantially SiO 2 Consist only ofLow reflection for automobiles having a stimulus purity of 22% or less and 10% or less of reflected light when visible light is incident at an incident angle of 12 degrees and 60 degrees from the film surface side, respectively. It is a glass article.
[0011]
  According to the third aspect of the present invention, the refractive index of the first layer film (n) counted from the glass surface side on at least one surface of the transparent glass substrate. 1 ) Is 1.65 to 2.20, and a thin film layer having a film thickness of 110 to 150 nm is coated, and then a refractive index (n 2 ) Is 1.40 to 1.49 and the film thickness is 81 to 100 nm. 2 As the main component and B 2 O Three And / or Al 2 O Three A vehicle having a stimulus purity of 22% or less and 10% or less of reflected light when visible light is incident at an incident angle of 12 degrees and 60 degrees from the film surface side, respectively. It is a low reflection glass article for use.
0012]
  In the present invention, the first layer has a refractive index (n1) Is 1.65 to 2.20 and the film thickness is 110 to 150 nm because the refractive index n1When the value is larger than 2.20, the reflectance at a specific wavelength is lowered. However, when viewed in the entire visible range, coloring and reflection become strong, and the visible light transmittance becomes 70% or less, and a desired reflection reduction effect is obtained. It is because it is not possible.
0013]
  Refractive index n of the first layer1Is less than 1.65, the value of the stimulation purity of the reflected light can be reduced, but a sufficient effect of reducing the reflected light intensity cannot be obtained for incident light ranging from a high incident angle to a low incident angle. A preferable range of the refractive index of the high refractive index film of the first layer is 1.67 to 1.80. Moreover, if the thickness of the first layer film is smaller than 110 nm, the reflectance and the stimulation purity of the reflected light at a low incident angle increase, and if it exceeds 150 nm, the stimulation purity at either the high or low incident angle increases.

The lower limit is 1.40 because SiO 2 Has a refractive index of 1.45.degreeIn Although,SiO 2 Forming minute irregularities on the surface of the film, SiO 2 The inside of the membrane is porous with independent foam or through-poresBy doingThe apparent refractive index may be lowered, or the refractive index may be lowered by adding inorganic fine particles having a low refractive index.Is from. By making the refractive index smaller than 1.45, the reflection reduction effect is increased.
  However,If the apparent refractive index of the thin film is made smaller than 1.37, the density of the film is reduced or the uneven shape of the surface is increased, resulting in poor wear resistance, chemical resistance, antifouling property, weather resistance, etc. Become. When the refractive index exceeds 1.49, a desired reflection reduction effect cannot be obtained.Substantially SiO 2 Consist ofPreferred refractive index of the second layer (n2) Is 1.40 to 1.47.
  In the invention according to claims 1 to 3 of the present invention, the thickness of the second layer film,81-100nmIt was. this is,When the thickness of the second film having a low refractive index is larger than 100 nm, the reflectance at a low incident angle and the stimulation purity of the reflected light are increased, and when the thickness is smaller than 81 nm, the intensity of the reflected light cannot be sufficiently reduced.Is from.

TiO with relatively high refractive index2(About 2.25) and,SiO with a relatively low refractive index2(About 1.45) can be mixed in various combinations to obtain a composite film that can be freely controlled to have a refractive index of 1.65 to 2.20.YouAnd excellent durability. As other ingredients, ZrO2(Refractive index:1.95), CeO2, BiOThreeEtc., 10 in totalmass% AmountTheIt may be added. The first thin film layer is made of TiO in molar ratio.2: SiO2= 35: 65-60: 40, and the second thin film layer is SiO2A thin film is preferable. Among the combinations of the above components, TiO2And SiO2Has a stable alkoxide and good film formability, and a homogeneous film can be obtained.YouIn addition, the most excellent reflectance reduction effect can be obtained and high durability can be obtained.
0017]
  Furthermore, the glass substrate may be colorless or colored as long as it is transparent glass, that is, for example, green, bronze, gray, high performance UV cut green glass, high performance UV cut bronze glass, etc. It is more preferable if the material is a green color, especially if it is easy to obtain heat ray / ultraviolet absorption performance. In addition to being able to be used as a single plate, laminated glass, heat ray reflective glass, multiple layers orIs strongNeedless to say, it can be used as a vitrified glass, a bent glass, or the like. Usually, a glass having a thickness of 1.5 to 6.5 m (in the case of laminated glass or multilayer glass, the distance between the outer surfaces) is used.
0018]

0026]
  Coating liquid composition is,To adjust the viscosity, surface tension, etc.,You may use two or more. Moreover, you may add a stabilizer, a leveling agent, a thickener, etc. in small quantities as needed.

The film thus obtained has excellent performance such as transparency, environmental resistance, and scratch resistance, and the process of densifying the layers of the high-refractive index film and the low-refractive index film even when stacked. The film peeling and the generation of cracks that are likely to occur due to the difference in the heat shrinkage rate in the film can be suppressed.
0028]
  Instead of the manufacturing method using drying / firing by heating above 250 ° C.,The light irradiation method described below can also be used. That is, after the coating liquid composition is applied by the application method, the coating film is subjected to a step of irradiating the coating film with an electromagnetic wave having a wavelength shorter than that of visible light, and then the subsequent coating liquid is applied. This is a method of repeating the drying step. Examples of electromagnetic waves having a wavelength shorter than visible light include γ-rays, X-rays, and ultraviolet rays. However, ultraviolet irradiation is preferable from the viewpoint of practicality on an apparatus in consideration of irradiation to a substrate having a large area. As an ultraviolet light source,Excimer lamps, low-pressure mercury lamps, high-pressure mercury lamps, metal halide lamps, etc. are used. Using a high-pressure mercury lamp that emits light at 254 nm and 303 nm efficiently with a main wavelength of 365 nm, 10 mW / cm2Or more, preferably 50 mW / cm2More preferably,100 mW / cm2It is desirable to irradiate the coating film with the above irradiation intensity. Using such an ultraviolet light source, 100 mJ / cm2Or more, preferably 500 mJ / cm2More preferably,1000mJ / cm2By applying the above irradiation energy to the coating surface applied using the coating liquid composition of the present invention, it is excellent in performance such as transparency, environmental resistance and scratch resistance at low temperatures, and is less prone to cracking. A laminated film is provided.
0029]
  Also,While irradiating with ultraviolet rays,You may perform drying and / or baking by heat simultaneously. By simultaneously using a drying method by ultraviolet irradiation and a drying step preferably by heat drying at a temperature of 250 ° C. or less, a coating film having excellent performance such as transparency, environmental resistance, and scratch resistance is provided, and lamination is performed. Even if they are overlapped, it is possible to suppress film peeling and crack generation that are likely to occur due to the difference in thermal shrinkage in the process of densification of the high refractive index film layer and the low refractive index film layer. By using ultraviolet irradiation in this way, the drying process can be speeded up and productivity can be dramatically improved.
