Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、偏光板の製造法に関し、更に詳しくは、光学性能(透過率、偏光度、色調)むらと厚みむらが少なく、光学性能に秀で、視認性に優れ、耐久性にも優れる偏光板の製造法に関するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
近年、卓上電子計算機、電子時計、ワープロ、自動車や機械類の計器類等に液晶表示装置が用いられており、液晶表示装置には、偏光板が使用されている。偏光板は、ポリビニルアルコール系フィルムを一軸延伸した偏光フィルムと保護フィルム等より構成され、通常、偏光フィルムを製造する時に、偏光性物質の染着とともに延伸が行われるが、その延伸により、光学性能むらと厚みむらが発生する、光学性能として例えば透過率にとると、厚み方向に、両端の部分の透過率と厚みは、中央の透過率と厚みと比べて、両端の透過率のほうが暗く、厚みは厚い。つまりは、偏光フィルム製造時、幅方向に不均一な延伸をともなって製造しているのが現状である。
【0003】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
偏光フィルムを製造する時に、延伸すれば、延伸するほど光学性能は上がるが、それにともない偏光フィルム自体の分子配向が上がり、収縮が大きくなり、それにより偏光板を液晶表示装置に実装した時、液晶表示装置の視認性と耐久性が著しく低下する。本発明は、このような背景下において、光学性能むらと厚みむらが少なく、光学性能に秀で、視認性に優れ、耐久性にも優れた効果を示す偏光板の製造法を提供することを目的とする。
【0004】
【課題を解決するための手段】
しかるに、本発明者はかかる課題を解決すべく鋭意研究を重ねた結果、偏光板を製造するにあたり、原反フィルムの延伸時の線圧力を150〜20000kg/1m幅とし、かつ偏光フィルムに保護フィルムをラミネートする時、又はラミネート後の線圧力が10〜2000kg/1m幅として、ラミネート時、又はラミネート後の線圧時の温度が5〜110℃である条件で加圧処理する時、本発明の効果を発揮でき、更にかかる延伸が、近接延伸もしくは幅固定延伸である時、特に本発明の効果を顕著にできることを見いだし本発明を完成するに到った。尚、本発明では、ヨウ素化合物の吸着配向により偏光性能が付与されたフィルムを「偏光フィルム」と称し、該「偏光フィルム」の両面又は片面に保護フィルムを設けた時「偏光板」と称して区別している。
【0005】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明について具体的に説明する。
【0006】
本発明の偏光板に用いられる原反フィルムは、特には限定されないが、ポリビニルアルコール系フィルムが好ましく、かかるポリビニルアルコールは通常、酢酸ビニルを重合したポリ酢酸ビニルをケン化して製造されるが、本発明では必ずしもこれに限定されるものではなく、少量の不飽和カルボン酸(塩、エステル、アミド、ニトリル等を含む)、オレフィン類、ビニルエーテル類、不飽和スルホン酸塩等、酢酸ビニルと共重合可能な成分を含有していても良い。本発明で使用されるポリビニルアルコールのケン化度は、耐久性の面、特に耐熱性向上の面よりで高ケン化度が好ましい。即ち、平均ケン化度は85〜100モル%、好ましくは98〜100モル%、特に99〜100%である。本発明で使用されるポリビニルアルコール平均重合度は、1700以上であることが必要であり、好ましくは5600〜10000、より好ましくは6500〜9000が透過率、偏光度、色調に秀で有利である。
【0007】
原反フィルムの製造方法としては、まず、ポリビニルアルコールを水又は有機溶媒に溶解した原液を流延製膜して、ポリビニルアルコール系原反フィルムを製造する。その時の製膜用原液調製に際して使用される溶媒としては、主に水が使用されるが、ジメチルスルホキシド(DMSO)、N−メチルピロリドン、グリセリン、エチレングリコール、プロピレングリコール、ジエチレングリコール、トリエチレングリコール、テトラエチレングリコール、トリメチロールプロパン等の多価アルコール、エチレンジアミン、ジエチレントリアミン等のアミン類及びこれらの混合物を使用してもよく、上記物質中に少量、例えば5〜30重量%の水を含有させても差し支えない。
【0008】
原液中のポリビニルアルコールの濃度は2〜20重量%が実用的である。該溶剤を用いて得られたポリビニルアルコール製膜原液は、キャスト法、押出法等任意の方法で製膜される。製膜方法としては乾・湿式製膜法にて、即ち、該溶液を口金スリットから一旦空気中、又は窒素、ヘリウム、アルゴン等の不活性雰囲気中に吐出し、次いで凝固浴中に導いて未延伸フィルムを形成せしめる。又は口金から吐出された製膜溶液は一旦ローラー、あるいはベルトコンベアー等の上で溶剤を一部乾燥した後で凝固浴中に導入しても差し支えない。
【0009】
又、凝固浴に用いる溶媒には前記ポリビニルアルコールの溶剤と混和性を有するもので、例えばメタノール、エタノール、プロパノール、ブタノール等のアルコール類、アセトン、ベンゼン、トルエン等が挙げられる。
ポリビニルアルコール系フィルムを得る方法としては、その他ポリビニルアルコールの溶液を凝固浴中に導入してフィルム化するいわゆるゲル製膜法等も実施可能である。
原反フィルムの膜厚は10〜100μm、好ましくは50〜90μmが必要である。10μm未満では延伸不能となり、100μmを越えると膜厚精度が低下し不適当である。
【0010】
次に、得られたポリビニルアルコール系原反フィルムは、延伸等の処理をされて偏光フィルムとなるわけであるが、あらかじめ、水にて膨潤させることが好ましく、該膨潤は5〜30℃で1〜10分行わればよい。本発明においては、かかる延伸処理工程において、線圧力を150〜20000kg/1m幅とすることが第一の特徴とするもので、これにより幅方向の厚みむらと透過率むらを、おさえることができる。かかる加圧の具体的な方法は、特には限定されないが、実用的には、原反フィルムを延伸する時、該原反フィルムを挟む2本以上で2箇所以上のピンチニップロールやマングルロールによる加圧が使用される。これらのロールの両端にはロール直径より細い直径の軸並びに軸受けが配置され、これらの軸に駆動力を与えると同時に軸受けに加圧を与えることで延伸が行われる。尚、線圧力とは、該フィルムがこれらのロールで挟まれる力(kg)をフィルム1m幅に換算したものであり、線圧力が150kg/1m幅未満の時は、幅方向の厚みむらと透過率むらが発生し、20000kg/1m幅を越えると、偏光フィルム中の組織を破壊し、偏光度を低下させる。
【0011】
延伸の倍率については、延伸倍率を上げすぎると偏光フィルム中のポリビニルアルコール/ホウ素架橋基材の分子配向が上がるので、好ましくは、低倍率の3.0倍以下で延伸することが望ましい。更にこの時の延伸方法については、一軸方向に延伸する必要があるが、近接延伸もしくは幅固定延伸にて、延伸するとより好ましい。尚、近接延伸とは、フィルム幅の長さに対する延伸ロール間隔の長さの比が1以下(0を含まない)の延伸処理を意味し、幅固定延伸とは、ピンチガイダー、クロスガイダー、テンタークリップ、エキスパンダーロール、スパイラルロール等を使用して耳端部を保持するか、幅方向への拡布しながら耳端部の幅方向への収縮を防止しながら延伸する処理を意味する。
【0012】
本発明の原反フィルムは、上記の如く延伸処理が行われるのであるが、これ以外に、染色処理、ホウ素化合物処理等が施され偏光フィルムとなる。かかる染色処理(つまり偏光素子の吸着)とは、原反フィルムに偏光素子を含有する液体を浸漬、塗布、噴霧等の任意の手段にて接触させることによって行われ、具体的にはヨウ素−ヨウ化カリウムの水溶液での浸漬処理によるヨウ素染色が行われる。この時のヨウ素−ヨウ化カリウムの水溶液は、ヨウ素の濃度が0.1〜0.45g/lで、ヨウ化カリウムの濃度が10〜50g/lで、ヨウ素/ヨウ化カリウムの重量比は20〜100の水溶液が使用される。又、該ヨウ素−ヨウ化カリウムの水溶液に、少量のホウ酸、ホウ砂を加えることもでき、水溶媒以外に水と相溶性のある有機溶媒を少量含有させても差し支えない。尚、該染色処理条件について、時間は30〜1000秒程度、処理浴の温度は5〜35℃が実用的である。
【0013】
かかるホウ素化合物処理とは、原反フィルムを、ホウ酸、ホウ砂等ホウ素化合物と浸漬法、塗布法、噴霧法等の方法で接触させる処理であり、実用的には浸漬法が用いられる。ここで用いられるホウ素化合物は水溶液又は水−有機溶媒混合液の形で濃度0.5〜2モル/l程度で用いられ、液中には0.1〜25ppm程度の少量のヨウ素と20〜70g/lのヨウ化カリウムを共存させるのが好ましい。ここでの処理条件は、処理温度は45〜70℃程度、処理時間は5〜20分程度が実用的である。
【0014】
上記の染色処理、ホウ素化合物処理及び延伸処理はそれぞれ任意に行うことができ、例えば、該原反フィルムを先に延伸処理してその後に染色処理をしてホウ素化合物処理するか、染色処理と延伸処理とを同時に行うか、染色処理後に延伸処理して、その後ホウ素化合物処理するか、染色処理した後にホウ素化合物処理中で延伸するか、染色処理中及びホウ素化合物処理中で分割延伸処理するか、特には限定されないが、好ましくは、染色処理中及びホウ素化合物処理中で分割延伸処理する方法がよい。延伸倍率は最終的に上記の範囲に設定されれば良く、延伸操作は一段階のみならず、製造工程の任意の範囲の段階に実施すれば良い。
【0015】
上記のホウ素化合物処理においては、その後に、2〜30℃で2分間以下の浸漬、噴霧、塗布等の水洗処理が通常施され、次に30〜90℃の温度で30〜500秒間乾燥処理されるのであるが、好ましくは水洗処理後、再染色処理を施した後にかかる乾燥処理を行うことで、これにより著しく光学性能が向上する。尚、再染色処理については、ヨウ素−ヨウ化カリウムの水溶液が用いられ、ヨウ素の濃度は0.1〜0.9g/l、ヨウ化カリウムの濃度は10〜50g/l、染色時間は10〜500秒、処理浴温度は5〜30℃が実用的である。
【0016】
かくして、延伸での加圧により厚み方向に制御し、3倍以下の延伸と近接延伸もしくは幅固定延伸により長手方向、幅方向を制御した、つまりは延伸の厚み方向、長手方向、幅方向の3方向の3次元制御し、透過率むらと厚みむらが少なく、透過率、偏光度、色調に秀で、視野角、視認性に優れ、収縮が小さく、耐久性に優れた偏光フィルが得られるわけであるが、延伸後の偏光フィルムの厚みは、薄いほうが視野角、視認性の面と収縮、耐久性の面で更に好ましく、1〜15μmであれば特に好ましい。
【0017】
次に、得られた偏光フィルムの両面又は片面に(好ましくは両面に)光学的透明度と機械的強度に優れた酢酸セルロース系保護フィルムが貼り合わされ偏光板となる。該酢酸セルロース系保護フィルムとしては酢酸セルロース系フィルム、アクリル系フィルム、ポリエステル系フィルム、ポリオレフィン系フィルム、ポリカーボネート系フィルム、ポリエーテルエーテルケト系フィルム、ポリスルホン系フィルム等が挙げられるが、好適には二酢酸セルロースフィルム、三酢酸セルロースフィルム等の酢酸セルロース系フィルム用いられ、最適には、フイルム表面の滑材の分布を変え耐久試験後の収縮を抑えた三酢酸セルロースフィルム(例えば富士フィルム製TD80U)がよい。更に、必要に応じて、上記樹脂フィルムにサリチル酸エステル系化合物、ベンゾフェノール系化合物、ベンゾトリアゾール系化合物、シアノアクリレート系化合物、ニッケル錯塩系化合物等の紫外線吸収剤を配合させることも可能である。
【0018】
又、貼り合わす前に、該保護フィルムの表面をアルカリでケン化処理した後、更に熱処理したり、プラズマ処理、グロー放電処理、コロナ放電処理、高周波処理、電子線処理等を行うと、効果的であるが、かかる処理中の張力は低いほうが好ましく、0.5〜10kg/1m幅にて行うのが実用的である。
【0019】
本発明においては、偏光フィルムにかかる保護フィルムをラミネート(貼り合わせ処理)する時又はラミネート後に、線圧力が10〜2000kg/1m幅で、加圧温度が5〜110℃である条件で加圧処理することを第二の特徴とするものであり、かかる処理により、収縮が小さく、耐久性に優れる偏光板が得られる。具体的には、ラミネート時には、温風又は熱風エアーナイフ(エアースリット)あるいは誘電加熱方式もしくは蒸気加熱方式のラミネートロールにより加圧処理とともにラミネートされ、ラミネート後は、誘電加熱方式もしくは蒸気加熱方式のフィードピンチロールにて加圧処理される。加圧処理は、エアーナイフの時は温風又は熱風の風圧、風量により加圧コントロールされ、ラミネートロール又はフィードピンチロールの時は、上記延伸ロールと同じくロールに力を加えることで加圧コントロールされる。加圧処理の温度は、エアーナイフの時は温風又は熱風で使用する空気の温度により、コントロールされ、誘電加熱方式の時は、通電する電圧、電流によりコントロールされ、蒸気加熱方式の時は、使用する蒸気の圧力にてコントロールされる。
【0020】
ポリビニルアルコール系偏光フィルムと保護フィルムとのラミネートの接着に際しては、ポリビニルアルコール系、ウレタン系、アクリル系等の接着剤が用いられ、好ましくは重合度とケン化度の高いポリビニルアルコール系接着剤がよい。尚、かかるラミネートに関して、片面を順次ラミネートしても、両面を同時にラミネートしてもよく、該偏光フィルムと保護フィルムとの貼り合わせの時、各フィルムの張力を低くする必要があり、好ましくは0.5〜10kg/1m幅(張力)にて行うのが実用的である。該貼り合わせ後に、乾燥及び熱処理が行われ、温度35〜100℃で、好ましくは温度65〜90℃で、1〜10分行われる。
【0021】
偏光板のラミネート時又はラミネート後の条件について、ここでの線圧力も延伸時と同様に貼合わせられるフィルムがこれらにより挟まれる力を1m幅換算したものであり、線圧力が10kg/1m幅未満の時は、収縮と耐久性に効果を示さず、2000kg/1m幅を越えると偏光板の外観不良を発生させたり、逆に収縮と耐久性を悪くする。加圧温度が5℃未満の時は、結露により偏光板の外観不良を発生させたり、収縮と耐久性を悪くし、110℃を越える時は、保護フィルムを痛め偏光板の外観不良を発生させたり、色調不良や偏光度低下を引き起こす。
【0022】
又、ラミネート時には、上記条件の処理を行わずに、ラミネート後に上記条件の処理をしても、同様の効果が得られるが、好適には、ラミネート後に、再びラミネート時と同様の範囲の加圧、加熱処理をすると、更に収縮が小さく、耐久性に優れる偏光板が得られる。尚、ラミネート後の加圧、加熱処理は、乾燥及び熱処理の前であっても後であっても、特には限定されない。
【0023】
かくなる製造法にて、光学性能むらと厚みむらが少なく、光学性能に秀で、視認性に優れ、収縮が小さく、耐久性にも優れる偏光板が得られ、ワープロ、テレビジョン、パソコン、カーナビゲーション等の用途の液晶ディスプレーに好適である。
【0024】

[Prior art]
In recent years, liquid crystal display devices have been used in desktop electronic computers, electronic watches, word processors, automobile and mechanical instruments, and polarizing plates have been used in liquid crystal display devices. A polarizing plate is composed of a polarizing film obtained by uniaxially stretching a polyvinyl alcohol film, a protective film, and the like. Usually, when a polarizing film is produced, stretching is performed together with dyeing of a polarizing material. Unevenness and unevenness in thickness occur. For example, in terms of transmittance as the optical performance, in the thickness direction, the transmittance and thickness at both ends are darker than the transmittance and thickness at the both ends. Thick. In other words, the current situation is that the polarizing film is manufactured with uneven stretching in the width direction.

[0005]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, the present invention will be specifically described.
[0006]
The raw film used for the polarizing plate of the present invention is not particularly limited, but a polyvinyl alcohol film is preferable, and such polyvinyl alcohol is usually produced by saponifying polyvinyl acetate obtained by polymerizing vinyl acetate. The invention is not necessarily limited to this, and can be copolymerized with vinyl acetate such as a small amount of unsaturated carboxylic acid (including salts, esters, amides, nitriles, etc.), olefins, vinyl ethers, unsaturated sulfonates, etc. It may contain various components. The saponification degree of the polyvinyl alcohol used in the present invention is preferably a high saponification degree in terms of durability, particularly in terms of improving heat resistance. That is, the average degree of saponification is 85 to 100 mol%, preferably 98 to 100 mol%, particularly 99 to 100%. The average degree of polymerization of polyvinyl alcohol used in the present invention is required to be 1700 or more, preferably 5600 to 10000, more preferably 6500 to 9000, which is excellent in transmittance, polarization degree, and color tone.
[0007]
As a method for producing an original film, first, an undiluted solution obtained by dissolving polyvinyl alcohol in water or an organic solvent is cast into a film to produce a polyvinyl alcohol-based original film. Water is mainly used as a solvent for preparing the stock solution for film formation at that time, but dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), N-methylpyrrolidone, glycerin, ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, diethylene glycol, triethylene glycol, tetra Polyhydric alcohols such as ethylene glycol and trimethylolpropane, amines such as ethylenediamine and diethylenetriamine, and mixtures thereof may be used, and a small amount, for example, 5 to 30% by weight of water may be contained in the above substance. Absent.
[0008]
The concentration of polyvinyl alcohol in the stock solution is practically 2 to 20% by weight. The polyvinyl alcohol film-forming stock solution obtained using the solvent is formed by an arbitrary method such as a casting method or an extrusion method. As a film forming method, a dry / wet film forming method is used, that is, the solution is once discharged into air or an inert atmosphere such as nitrogen, helium, argon, etc. from the nozzle slit, and then introduced into a coagulation bath. A stretched film is formed. Alternatively, the film-forming solution discharged from the die may be introduced into the coagulation bath after the solvent is partially dried on a roller or a belt conveyor.
[0009]
The solvent used in the coagulation bath is miscible with the polyvinyl alcohol solvent, and examples thereof include alcohols such as methanol, ethanol, propanol and butanol, acetone, benzene and toluene.
As a method for obtaining a polyvinyl alcohol-based film, a so-called gel film forming method in which a solution of polyvinyl alcohol is introduced into a coagulation bath to form a film can be performed.
The film thickness of the raw film is required to be 10 to 100 μm, preferably 50 to 90 μm. If the thickness is less than 10 μm, the film cannot be stretched. If the thickness exceeds 100 μm, the film thickness accuracy is lowered, which is inappropriate.
[0010]
Next, the obtained polyvinyl alcohol-based raw film is subjected to a treatment such as stretching to become a polarizing film, but is preferably swollen with water in advance, and the swelling is 1 at 5 to 30 ° C. For 10 minutes. In the present invention, in this stretching treatment step, the first characteristic is that the linear pressure is 150 to 20000 kg / 1 m width, thereby suppressing the thickness unevenness and the transmittance unevenness in the width direction. . A specific method of the pressurization is not particularly limited, but practically, when stretching the raw film, two or more sandwiching the raw film is added by two or more pinch nip rolls or mangle rolls. Pressure is used. Shafts and bearings having a diameter smaller than the roll diameter are arranged at both ends of these rolls, and stretching is performed by applying a driving force to these shafts and simultaneously applying pressure to the bearings. The linear pressure refers to the force (kg) between which the film is sandwiched between these rolls converted to a 1 m width of the film. When the linear pressure is less than 150 kg / 1 m width, the thickness unevenness and the transmission in the width direction are transmitted. When unevenness of rate occurs and exceeds 20000 kg / 1 m width, the structure in the polarizing film is destroyed and the degree of polarization is lowered.
[0011]
With respect to the stretching ratio, if the stretching ratio is increased too much, the molecular orientation of the polyvinyl alcohol / boron cross-linked substrate in the polarizing film increases. Therefore, it is desirable to stretch at a low magnification of 3.0 times or less. Furthermore, as for the stretching method at this time, it is necessary to stretch in the uniaxial direction, but it is more preferable to stretch by proximity stretching or fixed width stretching. The proximity stretching means a stretching treatment in which the ratio of the length of the stretching roll interval to the length of the film width is 1 or less (excluding 0), and the fixed width stretching refers to a pinch guider, a cross guider, and a tenter. It means a process of holding the ear end using a clip, an expander roll, a spiral roll or the like, or stretching while preventing expansion of the ear end in the width direction while spreading in the width direction.
[0012]
The raw film of the present invention is subjected to a stretching treatment as described above. In addition to this, a dyeing treatment, a boron compound treatment or the like is applied to obtain a polarizing film. Such dyeing treatment (that is, adsorption of the polarizing element) is performed by bringing the liquid containing the polarizing element into contact with the raw film by any means such as dipping, coating, spraying, and the like. Iodine staining is performed by immersion treatment with an aqueous solution of potassium halide. In this case, the iodine-potassium iodide aqueous solution had an iodine concentration of 0.1 to 0.45 g / l, a potassium iodide concentration of 10 to 50 g / l, and an iodine / potassium iodide weight ratio of 20. An aqueous solution of ~ 100 is used. A small amount of boric acid and borax can be added to the iodine-potassium iodide aqueous solution, and a small amount of an organic solvent compatible with water can be contained in addition to the aqueous solvent. In addition, about this dyeing | staining processing condition, time is about 30-1000 second, and the temperature of a processing bath is 5-35 degreeC practical.
[0013]
Such a boron compound treatment is a treatment in which a raw film is brought into contact with a boron compound such as boric acid or borax by a dipping method, a coating method, a spraying method or the like, and a dipping method is practically used. The boron compound used here is used in the form of an aqueous solution or a water-organic solvent mixed solution at a concentration of about 0.5 to 2 mol / l. In the solution, a small amount of iodine of about 0.1 to 25 ppm and 20 to 70 g are used. / L of potassium iodide is preferably present together. The treatment conditions here are practically a treatment temperature of about 45 to 70 ° C. and a treatment time of about 5 to 20 minutes.
[0014]
The dyeing treatment, the boron compound treatment and the stretching treatment can be arbitrarily performed. For example, the raw film is first stretched and then dyed and then boron compound treated, or the dyeing treatment and stretching. Doing the treatment at the same time, stretching treatment after the dyeing treatment, and then treating with the boron compound, or after the dyeing treatment, stretching in the boron compound treatment, or during the dyeing treatment and in the boron compound treatment, split stretching treatment, Although it is not particularly limited, a method of split stretching treatment during dyeing treatment and boron compound treatment is preferable. The stretching ratio may be finally set within the above range, and the stretching operation may be performed not only in one stage but also in any stage of the manufacturing process.
[0015]
In the above boron compound treatment, a water washing treatment such as immersion, spraying, coating, etc. for 2 minutes or less is usually performed at 2 to 30 ° C., followed by a drying treatment at a temperature of 30 to 90 ° C. for 30 to 500 seconds. However, preferably, the optical performance is remarkably improved by performing the drying treatment after the washing treatment and the re-dying treatment. For the re-dyeing treatment, an aqueous solution of iodine-potassium iodide is used. The concentration of iodine is 0.1 to 0.9 g / l, the concentration of potassium iodide is 10 to 50 g / l, and the dyeing time is 10 to 10 g / l. For 500 seconds, a treatment bath temperature of 5 to 30 ° C. is practical.
[0016]
Thus, the thickness direction was controlled by pressurization during stretching, and the longitudinal direction and width direction were controlled by stretching 3 times or less and proximity stretching or width fixed stretching, that is, the stretching thickness direction, longitudinal direction, width direction 3 Three-dimensional control of direction, non-uniformity in transmittance and thickness, excellent transmittance, degree of polarization, color tone, excellent viewing angle, visibility, small shrinkage, and excellent durability However, the thinner polarizing film after stretching is more preferable in view angle, visibility and shrinkage, and durability, and 1 to 15 μm is particularly preferable.
[0017]
Next, a cellulose acetate-based protective film excellent in optical transparency and mechanical strength is bonded to both surfaces or one surface (preferably both surfaces) of the obtained polarizing film to form a polarizing plate. Examples of the cellulose acetate-based protective film include cellulose acetate-based films, acrylic films, polyester-based films, polyolefin-based films, polycarbonate-based films, polyetheretherketo-based films, and polysulfone-based films. Cellulose acetate-based films such as cellulose film and cellulose triacetate film are used. Optimally, cellulose triacetate film (for example, TD80U manufactured by Fuji Film Co., Ltd.) that changes the distribution of the lubricant on the film surface and suppresses shrinkage after the durability test is preferable. . Furthermore, it is also possible to mix | blend ultraviolet absorbers, such as a salicylic acid ester type compound, a benzophenol type compound, a benzotriazole type compound, a cyanoacrylate type compound, a nickel complex salt type compound, with the said resin film as needed.
[0018]
In addition, it is effective to saponify the surface of the protective film with alkali and then further heat-treat, plasma treatment, glow discharge treatment, corona discharge treatment, high frequency treatment, electron beam treatment, etc. before bonding. However, the tension during the treatment is preferably low, and it is practical to carry out at a width of 0.5 to 10 kg / 1 m.
[0019]
In the present invention, when the protective film for the polarizing film is laminated (bonding treatment) or after the lamination, the pressure treatment is performed under the conditions that the linear pressure is 10 to 2000 kg / 1 m width and the pressure temperature is 5 to 110 ° C. The second characteristic is that a polarizing plate with small shrinkage and excellent durability can be obtained by such treatment. Specifically, at the time of laminating, it is laminated together with pressure treatment by a hot air or hot air air knife (air slit) or a laminating roll of dielectric heating method or steam heating method, and after lamination, feed of dielectric heating method or steam heating method is performed. Pressurized with a pinch roll. Pressurization is controlled by the pressure of the warm air or hot air and the air volume when using an air knife. When using a laminating roll or feed pinch roll, the pressure is controlled by applying force to the roll in the same way as the stretching roll. The The temperature of the pressure treatment is controlled by the temperature of the air used with hot air or hot air in the case of an air knife, controlled by the energized voltage and current in the case of the dielectric heating method, and in the case of the steam heating method, It is controlled by the steam pressure used.
[0020]
For the bonding of the laminate between the polyvinyl alcohol polarizing film and the protective film, an adhesive such as polyvinyl alcohol, urethane, or acrylic is used, preferably a polyvinyl alcohol adhesive having a high degree of polymerization and saponification. . In addition, regarding such lamination, one side may be laminated sequentially or both sides may be laminated at the same time. When the polarizing film and the protective film are bonded, it is necessary to lower the tension of each film, preferably 0. It is practical to carry out at a width of 5 to 10 kg / 1 m (tension). After the bonding, drying and heat treatment are performed, and the temperature is 35 to 100 ° C., preferably 65 to 90 ° C., for 1 to 10 minutes.
[0021]
Regarding the conditions at the time of lamination of the polarizing plate or after lamination, the linear pressure here is the same as that at the time of stretching, and the force sandwiched between them is converted to 1 m width, and the linear pressure is less than 10 kg / 1 m width. In this case, there is no effect on shrinkage and durability, and if the width exceeds 2000 kg / 1 m, poor appearance of the polarizing plate is generated, or conversely shrinkage and durability are deteriorated. When the pressurization temperature is less than 5 ° C, the appearance of the polarizing plate is deteriorated due to condensation, and the shrinkage and durability are deteriorated. When the temperature exceeds 110 ° C, the protective film is damaged and the appearance of the polarizing plate is deteriorated. Cause poor color tone and lower polarization degree.
[0022]
In addition, when laminating, the same effect can be obtained even if the above conditions are processed after the lamination without performing the above conditions. When the heat treatment is performed, a polarizing plate having further reduced shrinkage and excellent durability can be obtained. The pressure and heat treatment after lamination are not particularly limited before or after drying and heat treatment.
[0023]
With a manufacturing method that makes it difficult to obtain polarizing plates with little optical performance unevenness and thickness unevenness, excellent optical performance, excellent visibility, small shrinkage, and excellent durability, word processors, televisions, personal computers, cars It is suitable for a liquid crystal display for uses such as navigation.
