Description
本発明は、液晶ディスプレイ(LCD)のバックライトユニットや照明装置などに用いられる光拡散板に関する。 The present invention relates to a light diffusing plate used in a backlight unit of a liquid crystal display (LCD), an illumination device, or the like.
従来の光拡散板としては、(1)表面に物理的に凹凸加工を施して得られた光拡散板(特許文献1)、(2)ポリエステル樹脂などの透明基材上に、微粒子含有透明樹脂からなる光拡散層をコートして得られた光拡散板(特許文献2)、(3)透明樹脂中にビーズを溶融混練し、これを押出成形して得られた光拡散板(特許文献3)、(4)2種以上の透明な熱可塑性樹脂を溶融混練して形成される、海島構造を持つ光拡散板(特許文献4)などが開示されている。 Conventional light diffusing plates include (1) a light diffusing plate obtained by physically roughening the surface (Patent Document 1), and (2) a fine particle-containing transparent resin on a transparent substrate such as a polyester resin. A light diffusing plate obtained by coating a light diffusing layer comprising (Patent Document 2), (3) a light diffusing plate obtained by melting and kneading beads in a transparent resin and extruding the beads (Patent Document 3) And (4) a light diffusing plate having a sea-island structure (Patent Document 4) formed by melting and kneading two or more transparent thermoplastic resins.
上記(1)及び(2)の光拡散板は、表面に形成された凹凸、あるいはコートされた光拡散層によって光拡散効果を得る表面光拡散板である。一方、上記(3)及び(4)の光拡散板は、基材の内部にも光拡散成分を持つ光拡散板である。 The light diffusing plates of the above (1) and (2) are surface light diffusing plates that obtain a light diffusing effect by unevenness formed on the surface or a coated light diffusing layer. On the other hand, the light diffusing plates of the above (3) and (4) are light diffusing plates having a light diffusing component also inside the substrate.
通常、主としてメチルメタクリレート樹脂を用いて製造された光拡散板は、全光線透過率などの光特性に優れるという利点がある。しかしながら、そのような光拡散板は寸法安定性が低いため、冷陰極蛍光ランプやLEDなどの光源と共に使用され、点灯及び消灯によって温度変化が生じると、光拡散板の水分吸収率が変動し易く、この結果、撓み、皺、あるいはクラッキングに至る変形の問題がある。すなわち、高温多湿な条件下で撓み現象などの変形が生じるという問題がある(特許文献5,6)。 Usually, a light diffusing plate manufactured mainly using a methyl methacrylate resin has an advantage of being excellent in optical characteristics such as total light transmittance. However, since such a light diffusing plate has low dimensional stability, it is used with a light source such as a cold cathode fluorescent lamp or an LED, and the moisture absorption rate of the light diffusing plate easily fluctuates when a temperature change occurs due to turning on and off. As a result, there is a problem of deformation that leads to bending, wrinkling, or cracking. That is, there is a problem that deformation such as a bending phenomenon occurs under high temperature and humidity conditions (Patent Documents 5 and 6).
かかる問題を解決するために、吸収能を低下させ得るメチルメタクリレート−スチレン樹脂が使用された多層シートが提案された(特許文献7,8)。しかしながら、ここで使用されている樹脂は、本質的に耐光性が十分でなく、使用条件によっては着色などの劣化の問題が生じることもある。樹脂の耐光性を向上させる公知の方法の1つは紫外線吸収剤の添加であるが、耐光性が低い一部の樹脂ではその効果が十分ではない。
本発明者らは、上述した従来の問題を解決するため、光拡散板について鋭意研究を重ねた。その結果、高い耐熱性及び低い吸収性により、高温多湿な条件下でも高い寸法安定性を示し、表面層の耐光性により、光源に長時間曝されても黄変現象が生じない光拡散板を開発し、本発明を完成するに至った。 In order to solve the above-described conventional problems, the present inventors have made extensive studies on the light diffusion plate. As a result, a light diffusion plate that exhibits high dimensional stability even under conditions of high temperature and humidity due to high heat resistance and low absorbency, and that does not cause yellowing even when exposed to a light source for a long time due to light resistance of the surface layer. Developed and completed the present invention.
そこで、本発明の目的は、寸法安定性が高く、高温多湿な条件下でも撓み現象が殆ど発生しない光拡散板を提供することにある。 Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a light diffusing plate that has high dimensional stability and hardly causes a bending phenomenon even under high temperature and high humidity conditions.
また、本発明の他の目的は、高い寸法安定性を有しながらも、より低い価格で製造することが可能な光拡散板を提供することにある。 Another object of the present invention is to provide a light diffusing plate that can be manufactured at a lower price while having high dimensional stability.
また、本発明のさらなる目的は、黄変現象が殆ど発生しない光拡散板を提供することにある。 Another object of the present invention is to provide a light diffusing plate that hardly causes yellowing.

以下、本発明をより詳細に説明する。 Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail.
本発明において、光拡散板は、ポリカーボネート樹脂とポリスチレン樹脂との混合物をベース樹脂として含む基材層を有する。 In the present invention, the light diffusing plate has a base material layer containing a mixture of a polycarbonate resin and a polystyrene resin as a base resin.
ポリカーボネート樹脂は、耐衝撃性、光透過率、耐寒性、及び電気的特性に優れる上、特に高い耐熱性及び耐吸収性を有しているため、寸法安定性が非常に優れており、使用温度範囲が広い。したがって、この樹脂は、光学レンズ、光ディスク材料、ヘルメット、保護具、カバー類などに主として用いられている。 Polycarbonate resin has excellent impact resistance, light transmittance, cold resistance, and electrical characteristics, and also has particularly high heat resistance and absorption resistance.

また、本発明の表面層は、フッ素系樹脂又はフッ素系樹脂粒子をさらに含んでいてもよい。 Moreover, the surface layer of the present invention may further contain a fluorine-based resin or fluorine-based resin particles.
フッ素系樹脂は、熱安定性、電気的特性、化学的耐久性、耐候性、耐光性、耐酸素性などに優れる上、水分吸収率が殆どなく、高い耐熱性により使用温度範囲が250〜300℃と高い。また、この樹脂は表面摩擦性にも優れるため、現在、各種弁、ポンプ、タンク、フィルタ、パイプ、ケーブル、コンピュータ、宇宙産業などに適用されている。 Fluorocarbon resin is excellent in thermal stability, electrical characteristics, chemical durability, weather resistance, light resistance, oxygen resistance, etc., has almost no moisture absorption rate, and has a temperature range of 250 to 300 ° C. due to high heat resistance. And high. Further, since this resin is excellent in surface friction, it is currently applied to various valves, pumps, tanks, filters, pipes, cables, computers, space industries, and the like.
特に、本発明で使用されるフッ素系樹脂又はフッ素系樹脂粒子は、テトラフルオロエチレン(TFE)ホモポリマー、テトラフルオロエチレンとパーフルオロプロピルエーテルとのコポリマー(PFA)、テトラフルオロエチレン(TFE)とヘキサフルオロプロピレン(HFP)とのコポリマー、テトラフルオロエチレンとエチレンとのコポリマー(ETFE)、及びフッ化ビニリデン(VDF)とテトラフルオロエチレン(TFE)との子ポリマーの中から選択される少なくとも1種を含む。このフッ素系樹脂又はフッ素系樹脂粒子を使用することにより、優れた撥水特性が得られる。したがって、フッ素系樹脂を表面層に含ませることにより、寸法安定性が一層向上し、高温多湿な条件下でも撓み現象が発生しなくなる。 In particular, the fluororesin or fluororesin particles used in the present invention are tetrafluoroethylene (TFE) homopolymer, copolymer of tetrafluoroethylene and perfluoropropyl ether (PFA), tetrafluoroethylene (TFE) and hexafluoroethylene. Including at least one selected from a copolymer of fluoropropylene (HFP), a copolymer of tetrafluoroethylene and ethylene (ETFE), and a child polymer of vinylidene fluoride (VDF) and tetrafluoroethylene (TFE) . By using this fluorine resin or fluorine resin particles, excellent water repellency can be obtained. Therefore, by including the fluorine-based resin in the surface layer, the dimensional stability is further improved, and the bending phenomenon does not occur even under high temperature and high humidity conditions.
表面層に含まれるフッ素系樹脂の含有量は、寸法安定性及び透過性を考慮すると、表面層の全組成物に対して0.5〜35重量%の範囲が好ましく、5〜15重量%の範囲がより好ましい。 The content of the fluororesin contained in the surface layer is preferably in the range of 0.5 to 35% by weight, preferably 5 to 15% by weight with respect to the total composition of the surface layer, in consideration of dimensional stability and permeability. A range is more preferred.
また、基材層又は表面層は、光拡散剤をさらに含んでいてもよい。この光拡散剤は、通常、基材樹脂とは屈折率が異なり、光の拡散率を高めるために使用される。この目的のためには、様々な有機粒子及び無機粒子を使用することができる。光拡散剤の屈折率が基材樹脂の屈折率と大きく異なる場合には、少ない量でも所望の光拡散効果を得ることができる。一方、屈折率の差が小さい場合には、比較的多い量の光拡散剤を使用する必要がある。 The base material layer or the surface layer may further contain a light diffusing agent. This light diffusing agent usually has a refractive index different from that of the base resin, and is used for increasing the light diffusivity. Various organic and inorganic particles can be used for this purpose. When the refractive index of the light diffusing agent is greatly different from the refractive index of the base resin, a desired light diffusion effect can be obtained even with a small amount. On the other hand, when the difference in refractive index is small, it is necessary to use a relatively large amount of light diffusing agent.
有機粒子の代表的な例としては、メチルメタクリレート、エチルメタクリレート、イソブチルメタクリレート、n−ブチルメタクリレート、n−ブチルメチルメタクリレート、アクリル酸、メタクリル酸、ヒドロキシエチルメタクリレート、ヒドロキシプロピルメタクリレート、ヒドロキシエチルアクリレート、アクリルアミド、メチロールアクリルアミド、グリシジルメタクリレート、エチルアクリレート、イソブチルアクリレート、n−ブチルアクリレート、2−エチルヘキシルアクリレートのポリマー、又はこれらのコポリマー若しくはターポリマーなどのアクリル系ポリマー粒子;ポリエチレン、ポリプロピレンなどのオレフィン系ポリマー粒子;アクリル−オレフィン系コポリマー粒子、上記ホモポリマー、コポリマー、あるいはターポリマーの粒子を形成した後、そのポリマー粒子層上に他の種類のモノマーを覆って得られた多層多成分系粒子、シロキサン系ポリマー粒子、テトラフルオロエチレン系粒子などが挙げられる。 Representative examples of organic particles include methyl methacrylate, ethyl methacrylate, isobutyl methacrylate, n-butyl methacrylate, n-butyl methyl methacrylate, acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, hydroxyethyl methacrylate, hydroxypropyl methacrylate, hydroxyethyl acrylate, acrylamide, Acrylic polymer particles such as methylol acrylamide, glycidyl methacrylate, ethyl acrylate, isobutyl acrylate, n-butyl acrylate, 2-ethylhexyl acrylate, or copolymers or terpolymers thereof; olefin polymer particles such as polyethylene and polypropylene; acrylic Olefin copolymer particles, homopolymers, copolymers, or After forming the particles over the polymer, other types of obtained over the monomer multilayer multicomponent particles onto the polymer particles layer, a siloxane-based polymer particles, such as tetrafluoroethylene-based particles.
無機光拡散粒子の例としては、炭酸カルシウム、硫酸バリウム、酸化ケイ素、水酸化アルミニウム、酸化チタン、酸化ジルコニウム、フッ化マグネシウム、タルク、ガラス、マイカなどが挙げられる。通常、無機粒子に比べて有機粒子の方が光拡散性に優れている。必要に応じて、2種以上の光拡散粒子を組み合わせて使用してもよい。 Examples of the inorganic light diffusing particles include calcium carbonate, barium sulfate, silicon oxide, aluminum hydroxide, titanium oxide, zirconium oxide, magnesium fluoride, talc, glass, mica and the like. Usually, organic particles are more excellent in light diffusibility than inorganic particles. If necessary, two or more kinds of light diffusing particles may be used in combination.
表面層に光拡散剤がさらに含まれる場合、光拡散効果を一層向上させることができる。また、光拡散粒子が表面層の表面に突出してエンボス形状となることにより、無光沢かつ低反射率の表面を得ることができる。この際、表面層の表面粗度は、約0.1〜50μmが好ましい。表面粗度が50μmを超えると表面衝撃強度が不十分となり、粗度が0.1μm未満であれば無光沢効果が低下する。 When the surface layer further contains a light diffusing agent, the light diffusing effect can be further improved. Further, the light diffusing particles protrude from the surface layer to form an embossed shape, whereby a matte and low reflectance surface can be obtained. At this time, the surface roughness of the surface layer is preferably about 0.1 to 50 μm. When the surface roughness exceeds 50 μm, the surface impact strength becomes insufficient, and when the roughness is less than 0.1 μm, the matte effect is lowered.
本発明の基材層又は表面層に使用される光拡散剤の含有量は、基材層又は表面層におけるベース樹脂の組成物の総重量に対して0.01〜35重量%の範囲が好ましく、0.5〜15重量%の範囲がより好ましい。光拡散剤の量が0.01重量%未満であれば、十分な光拡散効果及びマスク効果を期待することが困難である。一方、光拡散剤の量が35重量%を超えると、光透過性が悪くなる。光拡散剤の含有量は、ベース樹脂との屈折率の差によって決定できる。 The content of the light diffusing agent used in the substrate layer or surface layer of the present invention is preferably in the range of 0.01 to 35% by weight with respect to the total weight of the composition of the base resin in the substrate layer or surface layer. The range of 0.5 to 15% by weight is more preferable. If the amount of the light diffusing agent is less than 0.01% by weight, it is difficult to expect a sufficient light diffusion effect and mask effect. On the other hand, when the amount of the light diffusing agent exceeds 35% by weight, the light transmittance is deteriorated. The content of the light diffusing agent can be determined by the difference in refractive index from the base resin.
また、本発明の基材層又は表面層は、光安定剤を含んでいてもよい。光安定剤の例としては、250nm〜380nmの範囲に吸収極大波長を持つ紫外線吸収剤、又はラジカルスカベンジャ、例えば光安定効果を極大化させることが可能なヒンダードアミン類の紫外線安定剤が挙げられる。これらは、長時間効力を発揮することができなければならず、蒸発又は抽出されてシートから分離又は除去されてはならない。また、基材との相溶性に優れた吸収剤を選択すべきである。 Moreover, the base material layer or the surface layer of the present invention may contain a light stabilizer. Examples of the light stabilizer include an ultraviolet absorber having an absorption maximum wavelength in the range of 250 nm to 380 nm, or a radical scavenger, for example, a hindered amine UV stabilizer capable of maximizing the light stabilization effect. They must be able to take effect for a long time and must not be separated or removed from the sheet by evaporation or extraction. Moreover, you should select the absorber excellent in compatibility with a base material.

紫外線安定剤は、ピペリジニルエステル類、オキサゾリジン及びピペリジノオキサゾリジン類、ピペリジスピロアセタール類、ジアザシクロアルカノン類、及びそれらの混合物よりなる群から選択することができる。 The UV stabilizer can be selected from the group consisting of piperidinyl esters, oxazolidine and piperidinooxazolidines, piperidyl spiroacetals, diazacycloalkanones, and mixtures thereof.
光安定剤の含有量は、基材層又は表面層の樹脂組成物の総重量に対して0.01〜5重量%の範囲が好ましく、0.1〜2重量%の範囲がより好ましい。これらは、特に表面層に含有させることにより、基材層の全光線透過率及び物性を低下させることなく、所望の光安定効果を得ることができ、且つ原価節減の効果をもたらすことができる。 The content of the light stabilizer is preferably in the range of 0.01 to 5% by weight and more preferably in the range of 0.1 to 2% by weight with respect to the total weight of the resin composition of the base layer or the surface layer. In particular, when these are contained in the surface layer, a desired light stabilizing effect can be obtained without lowering the total light transmittance and physical properties of the base material layer, and the cost can be reduced.
本発明の光拡散板は、屋内外の各種用途に使用できる。すなわち、看板、照明看板、照明カバー、ガラス陳列ケースに使用でき、好ましくはディスプレイ用光拡散板として使用できる。ディスプレイ用光拡散板の代表的な例としては、液晶ディスプレイバックライト又はエッジライト型バックライト用の光拡散板を挙げることができる。 The light diffusion plate of the present invention can be used for various uses indoors and outdoors. That is, it can be used for a signboard, a lighting signboard, a lighting cover, and a glass display case, and can be preferably used as a light diffusion plate for a display. As a typical example of the light diffusing plate for a display, a light diffusing plate for a liquid crystal display backlight or an edge light type backlight can be mentioned.

上記実施例及び比較例で製造された光拡散板に対して、水分吸収率、撓み、全光線透過率、ヘイズ、黄変度、及び熱変形温度を測定した。測定結果を下記表5〜表8に示す。 For the light diffusing plates produced in the above examples and comparative examples, the moisture absorption rate, the deflection, the total light transmittance, the haze, the yellowing degree, and the heat distortion temperature were measured. The measurement results are shown in Tables 5 to 8 below.
ここで、水分吸収率は、光拡散板を10×10cmに切断し、水中で25℃、24時間放置した後、重量変化を測定することにより求めた。また、撓みは、シートを20″サイズのバックライトユニットに装着し、60℃、相対湿度75%で96時間放置した後、底部からの四隅の捲れ程度を測定することによって求めた。熱変形温度は、ASTM D648に準拠して測定した。 Here, the moisture absorption rate was determined by measuring the change in weight after cutting the light diffusion plate to 10 × 10 cm and leaving it in water at 25 ° C. for 24 hours.

The total light transmittance and haze were measured according to ASTM D1003.
上記物性評価の結果、ポリカーボネート樹脂とポリスチレン樹脂とを混合してベース樹脂として使用した単一基材層の光拡散板の場合、高温多湿の条件下でも寸法安定性が比較的優れるが、黄変度は高いことが分かる。 As a result of the above physical property evaluation, in the case of a light diffusion plate having a single base layer mixed with polycarbonate resin and polystyrene resin and used as a base resin, the dimensional stability is relatively excellent even under high temperature and high humidity conditions. The degree is high.
上記物性評価の結果、ポリカーボネート樹脂とポリスチレン樹脂とを混合してベース樹脂として使用した基材層と、その片面に形成されたPMMA樹脂をベース樹脂を含む表面層とを有する光拡散板の場合、優れた寸法安定性及び黄変度を示すことが分かる。 As a result of the above physical property evaluation, in the case of a light diffusing plate having a base material layer mixed with a polycarbonate resin and a polystyrene resin and used as a base resin, and a surface layer containing a base resin made of PMMA resin formed on one side thereof, It can be seen that it exhibits excellent dimensional stability and yellowing.
さらに、表面層にフッ素系樹脂又はフッ素系樹脂粒子を含む光拡散板の場合、フッ素系樹脂又はフッ素系樹脂粒子を含まない光拡散板よりも一層優れた寸法安定性を示し、その含有量が増えるほど、さらに優れた寸法安定性を示すことが分かる。 Furthermore, in the case of a light diffusing plate containing fluorine-based resin or fluorine-based resin particles in the surface layer, dimensional stability superior to that of a light diffusing plate not containing fluorine-based resin or fluorine-based resin particles is exhibited, and the content is It can be seen that the greater the increase, the better the dimensional stability.
したがって、相対的に原価が低いポリスチレン樹脂をポリカーボネート樹脂と混合して基材層のベース樹脂として使用する場合、ポリカーボネート樹脂のみを基材層のベース樹脂として使用する場合と同等以上の寸法安定性を示したので、原価を節減することができることが分かる。 Therefore, when polystyrene resin with relatively low cost is mixed with polycarbonate resin and used as the base resin of the base material layer, the dimensional stability is equal to or better than when only polycarbonate resin is used as the base resin of the base material layer. As shown, it can be seen that costs can be saved.
上記物性評価の結果、ポリカーボネート樹脂とポリスチレン樹脂とを混合してベース樹脂として使用した基材層と、その片面又は両面に形成されたMS樹脂をベース樹脂として含む表面層とを有する光拡散板の場合、優れた寸法安定性を示すことが分かる。 As a result of the above physical property evaluation, a light diffusing plate having a base material layer in which polycarbonate resin and polystyrene resin are mixed and used as a base resin, and a surface layer containing MS resin as a base resin formed on one or both surfaces thereof It can be seen that the case shows excellent dimensional stability.
よって、相対的に原価が安いポリスチレン樹脂をポリカーボネート樹脂と混合して基材層のベース樹脂として使用しても、優れた寸法安定性を示すので、原価を節減できることが分かる。 Therefore, it can be seen that even if a polystyrene resin having a relatively low cost is mixed with a polycarbonate resin and used as the base resin of the base material layer, it exhibits excellent dimensional stability, so that the cost can be reduced.
上記物性評価の結果、基材層にポリカーボネート樹脂及びポリスチレン樹脂を含まない光拡散板の場合、寸法安定性及び黄変度などの物性が低下したことが分かる。 As a result of the above physical property evaluation, it can be seen that in the case of a light diffusing plate not containing a polycarbonate resin and a polystyrene resin in the base material layer, physical properties such as dimensional stability and yellowing degree have decreased.
以上より、本発明の光拡散板は、基材層にポリカーボネート樹脂とポリスチレン樹脂との混合物を用いることにより、全光線透過率及び光拡散性に優れ、特に高耐熱性及び耐吸収率に優れ、したがって寸法安定性が非常に優れている。また、ポリカーボネート樹脂よりも相対的に安価なポリスチレン樹脂を使用することにより、原価節減の効果を期待することができる。 From the above, the light diffusing plate of the present invention is excellent in total light transmittance and light diffusibility by using a mixture of a polycarbonate resin and a polystyrene resin for the base material layer, particularly excellent in high heat resistance and absorption resistance, Therefore, the dimensional stability is very excellent. Further, by using a polystyrene resin that is relatively cheaper than the polycarbonate resin, an effect of cost reduction can be expected.
また、本発明の光拡散板は、表面層を設けることにより、長時間光源に曝されたときの黄変度を改善することができる。 Moreover, the light diffusing plate of this invention can improve the yellowing degree when exposed to a light source for a long time by providing a surface layer.
さらに、本発明の光拡散板は、表面層にフッ素系樹脂又はフッ素系樹脂粒子を含めることにより、寸法安定性が一層向上する上、光源に長時間曝されたときの黄変度がさらに低くなり、物性が一層優れた光拡散板を提供することができる。 Furthermore, the light diffusing plate of the present invention includes fluorinated resin or fluorinated resin particles in the surface layer, thereby further improving dimensional stability and further lowering yellowing when exposed to a light source for a long time. Therefore, it is possible to provide a light diffusing plate having more excellent physical properties.
以上説明したように、本発明は光拡散板を提供する。本発明によれば、光拡散板がポリカーボネート樹脂とポリスチレン樹脂との混合物をベース樹脂とした基材層を有するため、高い耐吸収性に起因して寸法安定性が高く、高温多湿な条件下でも撓み現象が殆ど発生しない。また、表面層をさらに形成し、あるいは表面層にフッ素系樹脂又はフッ素系樹脂粒子をさらに含めることにより、寸法安定性が一層向上する上、光源に長時間曝されても黄変度が非常に低い光拡散板を提供することができる。 As described above, the present invention provides a light diffusing plate. According to the present invention, the light diffusing plate has a base layer made of a mixture of polycarbonate resin and polystyrene resin as a base resin, so that it has high dimensional stability due to high absorption resistance, and even under conditions of high temperature and humidity. Almost no bending phenomenon occurs. Further, by further forming a surface layer or further including a fluorine resin or fluorine resin particles in the surface layer, the dimensional stability is further improved, and the yellowing degree is extremely high even when exposed to a light source for a long time. A low light diffusion plate can be provided.
以上、本発明の好ましい実施形態を参照して説明したが、当業者であれば、特許請求の範囲に記載された本発明の思想及び範囲から逸脱することなく、本発明を様々に修正、変更できることを理解するであろう。 Although the present invention has been described with reference to the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art will recognize that the present invention can be variously modified and changed without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention described in the claims.
