Description

  The present invention relates to a transparent touch panel and a transparent conductive laminate suitable for the transparent touch panel. More specifically, the present invention relates to a transparent touch panel excellent in visibility and a transparent conductive laminate used therefor.

  In recent years, a transparent touch panel that realizes an interactive input method is often used as one of man-machine interfaces. The transparent touch panel includes an optical method, an ultrasonic method, a capacitance method, a resistance film method, and the like depending on the position detection method. Among these, the resistive film method has been rapidly spread in recent years because of its simple structure and good price / performance ratio.

  A resistive film type transparent touch panel is an electronic component configured by holding two films or sheets having transparent conductive layers on opposite sides at a predetermined interval, and a movable electrode substrate (viewing side electrode substrate) is a pen. Alternatively, the detection circuit detects the position by pressing and bending with a finger, deflecting, contacting and conducting with the fixed electrode substrate (opposite electrode substrate), and a predetermined input is made. At this time, interference fringes called Newton rings may appear around the pressing portion. Even in a state where the electrode is not pressed, a Newton ring may appear in a portion where the distance between the movable electrode substrate and the fixed electrode substrate is narrowed due to the bending of the movable electrode substrate. The visibility of the display decreases due to the occurrence of Newton rings.

  In order to reduce Newton's ring generated between two transparent electrode substrates constituting such a resistive film type transparent touch panel, a method of forming irregularities of appropriate shape and size on the film surface is effective. . Specifically, a method of forming a coating layer containing a predetermined amount of filler having an average primary particle diameter of 1 to 4 μm and a transparent conductive layer on a plastic film (see Patent Document 1), an average secondary particle diameter of 1.0 A method of forming a protrusion coating layer (coating layer having protrusions) containing silica particles of ˜3.0 μm on a plastic film is disclosed (see Patent Document 2).

  In the case of a transparent touch panel using a transparent conductive laminate in which a coating layer containing a particle having an average primary particle size or secondary particle size of about several microns as described above and a transparent conductive layer are formed on a plastic film, a Newton ring Occurrence is reduced. However, when the transparent touch panel is installed on a high-definition display in recent years, the resin around the particles in the coating layer plays a lens effect, so that color separation (sparkling) of light coming from the display is achieved. This causes a problem that the visibility of the display is remarkably deteriorated.

  Further, as a coating layer for reducing Newton rings other than the above, inorganic ultrafine particles having an average primary particle size of 100 nm or less are added to a cured resin containing inorganic fine particles having an average primary particle size of 0.5 μm or more and 5 μm or less. Thus, a method has been disclosed in which the uneven shape is controlled to simultaneously reduce the deterioration of visibility due to Newton's ring generation and flickering (see Patent Document 3). However, when the anti-Newton ring layer formed by this method is subjected to the sliding durability and end-press durability test required for the touch panel, the transparent conductive layer deteriorates from the protruding portion formed by these inorganic particles.・ Because it begins to peel, there is a problem that the electrical characteristics of the touch panel deteriorate at the end.

  In addition, when performing a dot durability test, the protrusions formed by inorganic fine particles contained on the transparent conductive layer forming surface of the movable electrode substrate destroy the dot spacers formed on the fixed electrode substrate, and the fragments are in the touch panel. Scatter. There is a problem in that the scattered dot spacer fragments prevent the conduction between the movable electrode substrate and the fixed electrode substrate, and deteriorate the electrical characteristics of the touch panel. Further, the scattered dot spacer fragments may damage the transparent conductive layers of the movable electrode substrate and the fixed electrode substrate, thereby deteriorating the electrical characteristics of the touch panel.

  Further, when an anti-Newton ring layer formed using such inorganic fine particles is used as a fixed electrode substrate, the protrusions formed by the inorganic fine particles damage the transparent conductive layer of the movable electrode substrate, and the touch panel There is also a problem that the characteristics deteriorate. In addition, when a resin layer containing fine particles of about several μm is formed by wet coating using a gravure coater or the like, the fine particles in the coating solution settle out over time, so it is necessary to change the coating solution frequently. There was a problem with productivity.

  As a method not using inorganic fine particles of 1 μm or more in order to form unevenness on the film surface, irradiating the thermoplastic resin and inorganic fine particles having an average primary particle diameter of 0.001 μm or more and less than 1 μm with activation energy rays However, in the layer formed by such a method, the haze becomes extremely high, and there is a problem of deteriorating the visibility of the display (Patent Document 4). reference).

  In addition, a method of forming an uneven shape by dispersing ultrafine particles having an average primary particle diameter of 100 nm or less as an aggregate having a size of less than 1.0 μm or in a state where no aggregate is formed in a cured resin layer is disclosed. Since the anti-Newton ring layer formed by such a method has small unevenness, Newton rings were confirmed when the pressure was strong (see Patent Documents 5, 6, 7, and 8).

Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 10-323931 JP 2002-373056 A JP 2006-190512 A JP 2002-275391 A JP 2006-056136 A JP 2005-209431 A JP 2004-351744 A JP 2004-195898 A

  An object of the present invention is to provide a transparent touch panel that can prevent Newton's rings from occurring between two transparent electrode substrates constituting a transparent touch panel without causing deterioration of visibility due to flicker even when the transparent touch panel is installed on a high-definition display. It is providing the transparent conductive laminated body for touchscreens.

  Another object of the present invention is to provide a transparent conductive laminate having good visibility and maintaining the above-mentioned visibility.

  Still another object of the present invention is to provide a novel transparent touch panel using the transparent conductive laminate.

  In order to solve the above problems, the present inventors have intensively studied a surface roughening technique using ultrafine particles. As a result, the metal oxide ultrafine particles having an average primary particle size of 100 nm or less and an average primary particle size of 100 nm or less are obtained. By using the metal fluoride ultrafine particles mixed at a specific ratio, the metal oxide ultrafine particles and the metal fluoride ultrafine particles form a weak association state in the cured resin layer, and a desired uneven shape is obtained. When the cured resin component constituting the cured resin layer contains at least two kinds of resin components that are phase-separated based on the difference in physical properties, the formation of the uneven shape can be further controlled, thereby The inventors have found that anti-Newton ring properties, image clarity, and flicker resistance can be obtained, and have arrived at the present invention described below.

A transparent touch panel (20) can be formed by arranging the substrate (11) and the transparent conductive layers (12, 14) so that the transparent conductive layers (12, 14) face each other and a spacer (13) between them.

<Transparent organic polymer substrate>
The transparent organic polymer substrate used in the transparent conductive laminate of the present invention is an arbitrary transparent organic polymer substrate, particularly a transparent organic polymer substrate excellent in heat resistance and transparency used in the optical field. It's okay.

  Examples of the transparent organic polymer substrate used in the transparent conductive laminate of the present invention include polyester polymers such as polyethylene terephthalate and polyethylene naphthalate, polycarbonate polymers, cellulose polymers such as diacetyl cellulose and triacetyl cellulose, and polymethyl methacrylate. And a substrate made of a transparent polymer such as an acrylic polymer. The transparent organic polymer substrate used in the transparent conductive laminate of the present invention includes polystyrene, styrene-based polymers such as acrylonitrile / styrene copolymer, polyethylene, polypropylene, polyolefin having a cyclic or norbornene structure, and ethylene / propylene copolymer. Examples thereof include substrates made of transparent polymers such as olefin polymers such as polymers, vinyl chloride polymers, amide polymers represented by nylon and aromatic polyamide. Furthermore, as the transparent organic polymer substrate used in the transparent conductive laminate of the present invention, imide polymer, sulfone polymer, polyether sulfone polymer, polyether ether ketone polymer, polyphenylene sulfide polymer, vinyl alcohol type Examples also include substrates made of transparent polymers such as polymers, vinylidene chloride polymers, vinyl butyral polymers, arylate polymers, polyoxymethylene polymers, epoxy polymers and blends of the above polymers.

  For use in the transparent conductive laminate of the present invention, among these transparent organic polymer substrates, those having low optical birefringence, those having birefringence controlled to λ / 4 or λ / 2, and birefringence What is not controlled at all can be appropriately selected according to the application. As mentioned here, when selecting appropriately according to the application, for example, by using polarized light such as linearly polarized light, elliptically polarized light, circularly polarized light, etc. A case where the transparent conductive laminate of the present invention is used as a display member exhibiting a function can be given.

  The film thickness of the transparent polymer substrate can be appropriately determined, but is generally about 10 to 500 μm, particularly 20 to 300 μm, more preferably 30 to 200 μm from the viewpoint of workability such as strength and handleability.

<Curing resin layer>
The cured resin layer having a concavo-convex shape used in the transparent conductive laminate of the present invention comprises a cured resin component and at least one metal oxide super particle having an average primary particle diameter of 100 nm or less dispersed in the cured resin component. Fine particles A and metal fluoride ultrafine particles B having an average primary particle diameter of 100 nm or less are contained.

<Hardened resin layer-cured resin component>
As the curable resin component, it contains at least two kinds of resin components that are phase-separated based on the difference in physical properties, and can disperse ultrafine particles having an average primary particle diameter of 100 nm or less, and is sufficient as a film after forming the cured resin layer. Those having high strength and transparency can be used without particular limitation, and examples thereof include ionizing radiation curable resins and thermosetting resins.

  As for at least two kinds of resin components that undergo phase separation based on the difference in physical properties, for example, International Publication WO2005 / 073763 can be referred to.

  For example, as described in International Publication WO2005 / 073763, when at least two resin components that are phase-separated based on the difference in physical properties are applied on a transparent organic polymer substrate to form a cured resin layer. Based on the difference in physical properties between the first and second resin components, the first resin component and the second resin component are phase-separated to form a resin layer having random irregularities on the surface. By combining the unevenness formed by the first and second resin components with the formation of an uneven surface by a combination of metal oxide ultrafine particles A and metal fluoride ultrafine particles B described below, Advanced control becomes possible.

  The specific first and second resin components can be independently selected from the group consisting of monomers, oligomers and resins.

  In order for the first resin component and the second resin component to cause phase separation based on the difference in physical properties between the first and second resin components, specific physical properties of the first resin and the second resin component A difference in values such as SP value (Solubility Parameter), glass transition temperature (Tg), surface tension, and / or number average molecular weight have a certain magnitude be able to. Here, the first and second resin components can be used in a ratio of 1:99 to 99: 1, preferably 1:99 to 50:50, more preferably 1:99 to 20:80.

(First and second component-SP value)
When the phase separation between the first resin component and the second resin component is caused by the difference in SP value (solubility parameter), the difference between the SP value of the first resin component and the SP value of the second resin component Is preferably 0.5 or more, and more preferably 0.8 or more. The upper limit of the SP value difference is not particularly limited, but is generally 15 or less. When the difference between the SP value of the first resin component and the SP value of the second resin component is 0.5 or more, the compatibility of the resins is low, whereby the first resin is applied after the coating composition is applied. It is believed that phase separation between the component and the second resin component results.

  In addition, SP value shows that polarity is so high that a numerical value is large, and polarity is low, so that a numerical value is small conversely. In the context of the present invention, the SP values are SUH, CLARKE, J. P. S. A-1, 5, 1671-1681 (1967) and the method described in the above-mentioned International Publication WO2005 / 073763 citing this document.

  Examples of the first and second resin components in this case include a case where the first resin component is an oligomer or a resin and the second resin component is a monomer. The oligomer or resin of the first resin component is more preferably an unsaturated double bond-containing acrylic copolymer, and the monomer of the second resin component is a polyfunctional unsaturated double bond-containing monomer. It is more preferable. The “oligomer” in the present specification refers to a polymer having a repeating unit and having 3 to 10 repeating units.

  Another example of the first and second resin components includes a case where both the first and second resin components are oligomers or resins. The first and second resin components are preferably resins that contain a (meth) acrylic resin in the skeleton structure. The first resin component is more preferably an unsaturated double bond-containing acrylic copolymer, and the second resin component is more preferably a polyfunctional unsaturated double bond-containing monomer.

  In addition, the coating composition for the cured resin layer of the present invention may further contain an organic solvent. Preferred organic solvents include, for example, ketone solvents such as methyl ethyl ketone, alcohol solvents such as methanol, ether solvents such as anisole, and the like. One of these solvents may be used alone, or two or more organic solvents may be mixed and used.

(First and second resin components-glass transition temperature (Tg))
When the phase separation between the first resin component and the second resin component is caused by the difference in the glass transition temperature (Tg), either one of the first and second resin components is applied at the time of coating composition application. It is preferred to have a Tg lower than the ambient temperature and the other to have a Tg higher than the ambient temperature during application of the coating composition. In this case, since the resin having a Tg higher than the environmental temperature is in a glass state in which molecular motion is controlled at the environmental temperature, the resin aggregates in the coating composition after application, whereby the first resin component and the second resin component are aggregated. It is thought that phase separation from the resin component of the resin is brought about.

(First and second resin components-surface tension)
When the phase separation between the first resin component and the second resin component is caused by the difference in surface tension, the difference between the surface tension of the first resin component and the surface tension of the second resin component is 1 to It is preferable that it is 70 dyn / cm, and it is further more preferable that this difference is 5-30 dyn / cm. When the difference in surface tension is within this range, a resin having a higher surface tension tends to agglomerate, whereby the phase between the first resin component and the second resin component after application of the coating composition. Separation is thought to result.

  In addition, this surface tension can be measured by calculating | requiring the static surface tension measured by the ring method using the dynamometer by a Big Chemie company.

<Hardened resin layer-ultrafine particles>
(material)
The metal oxide ultrafine particles A having an average primary particle diameter of 100 nm or less to be blended with the curable resin are not essentially limited, but Al ₂ O ₃ , Bi ₂ O ₃ , CeO ₂ , In ₂ O ₃ , A group consisting of In ₂ O ₃ .SnO ₂ , HfO ₂ , La ₂ O ₃ , Sb ₂ O ₅ , Sb ₂ O ₅ .SnO ₂ , SiO ₂ , SnO ₂ , TiO ₂ , Y ₂ O ₃ , ZnO and ZrO _2. At least one selected from the group consisting of Al ₂ O _{3 and} SiO ₂ can be used particularly preferably. The metal oxide ultrafine particles A can have an average primary particle diameter of 100 nm or less, 90 nm or less, 80 nm or less, 70 nm or less, 60 nm or less, or 50 nm or less.

As the metal fluoride ultrafine particles B having an average primary particle diameter of 100 nm or less blended in the cured resin, MgF ₂ is particularly preferably used, but is not limited thereto. The metal fluoride ultrafine particles B can have an average primary particle size of 100 nm or less, 90 nm or less, 80 nm or less, 70 nm or less, 60 nm or less, or 50 nm or less.

(Distributed state)
In the use of the present invention, the cured resin layer that forms the uneven shape is required to maintain good visibility even when placed on a high-definition display, but the metal oxide ultrafine particles A and / or When the metal fluoride ultrafine particles B form a clear aggregate having an optical wavelength or longer, flickering increases and visibility decreases. On the other hand, when the metal oxide ultrafine particles A and the metal fluoride ultrafine particles B are substantially homogeneously dispersed, the height of the unevenness formed becomes low, and between the two transparent electrode substrates constituting the transparent touch panel The Newton ring that occurs in this case cannot be prevented, and the visibility during actual use is significantly reduced.

  Therefore, in the transparent conductive laminate of the present invention, it is preferable that the metal oxide ultrafine particles A and the metal fluoride ultrafine particles B do not form secondary aggregates or secondary particles of 1 μm or more, particularly the optical wavelength. It is preferable that the secondary aggregates or secondary particles described above, for example, secondary aggregates or secondary particles of 600 nm or more are not formed. However, there may be a state in which the metal oxide ultrafine particles A and / or metal fluoride ultrafine particles B having an average primary particle diameter of 100 nm or less form a secondary aggregate having an optical wavelength less than that.

  Moreover, in the transparent conductive laminate of the present invention, the metal oxide ultrafine particles A and the metal fluoride ultrafine particles B are in a weak association state, whereby irregularities with an appropriate shape can be formed on the surface.

(Mixing ratio)
The compounding ratio for dispersing the ultrafine particles in the cured resin is such that the metal oxide ultrafine particles A and the metal fluoride ultrafine particles B are each 1 to 20 parts by mass with respect to 100 parts by mass of the cured resin component. Necessary, preferably 1 to 15 parts by mass, and more preferably 1 to 10 parts by mass. This is because when the metal oxide ultrafine particles A and / or the metal fluoride ultrafine particles B are too small, it is difficult to form a resin layer having irregularities on the surface necessary for the use of the present invention. When is too large, the ratio of the cured resin component is decreased, so that it is difficult to have sufficient strength as a film after the cured resin layer is formed.

  Further, in order to sufficiently increase the unevenness of the cured resin layer, the mass ratio (A / B (%)) of the metal oxide ultrafine particles A to the metal fluoride ultrafine particles B is greater than 0.3 and 10 0.0 or less, and preferably this ratio is greater than 0.3 and 5.0 or less.

<Hardened resin layer-film thickness>
The film thickness of the cured resin layer having irregularities on the surface is preferably 0.1 μm or more and less than 7 μm, or 1 μm or more and less than 7 μm. When the film thickness is too small, the UV curable resin is not preferable because it is likely to be insufficiently cured due to the influence of oxygen. In addition, when the film thickness is too small, there may be a problem that sufficient hardness cannot be obtained or a product generated from the substrate cannot be sealed. On the other hand, when the film thickness is too large, the curing shrinkage of the ultraviolet curable resin deflects the polymer substrate and causes curling, which is not preferable.

  Since the unevenness on the surface of the cured resin layer is also affected by the film thickness, it is very important to control the film thickness. Particularly in the case of the present invention, when only the film thickness is changed with the metal oxide ultrafine particles A and the metal fluoride ultrafine particles B added to the cured resin component as constant amounts, the surface irregularities become finer as the film thickness is reduced. Conversely, the surface tends to become rougher as the film thickness is increased.

  In this regard, in the transparent conductive laminate of the present invention, the unevenness formed by the first and second resin components and the unevenness due to the combination of the metal oxide ultrafine particles A and the metal fluoride ultrafine particles B are combined. Even in a relatively thick film thickness, for example, a film thickness of 2 μm or more, 3 μm or more, or 4 μm or more, it is possible to obtain a transparent conductive laminate having a fine concavo-convex pitch and thereby having good image definition and flicker resistance. it can.

<Curing resin layer-other components>
Moreover, the unevenness | corrugation of the surface of the cured resin layer in this invention is dependent also on the thixotropy of the ultrafine particle to be used. Therefore, for the purpose of expressing or controlling thixotropy, a solvent and a dispersant can be appropriately selected and used when forming the cured resin layer. As the solvent, for example, various alcohols, aromatics, ketones, lactates, cellosolves, glycols and the like can be used. Examples of the dispersant include various fatty acid amines, sulfonic acid amides, ε-caprolactone, hydrostearic acid, polycarboxylic acid, and polyesteramine. These solvents and dispersants can be used alone or in combination of two or more.

<Curing resin layer-surface irregularities>
(Ten point average roughness (Rz))
The unevenness of the surface of the cured resin layer has a ten-point average roughness (Rz) of preferably 50 nm or more and less than 2000 nm, more preferably 100 nm or more and less than 1000 nm, and particularly preferably 100 nm or more and less than 800 nm. . When the ten-point average roughness (Rz) is too small, Newton's ring occurs when the glass or film substrate is brought into strong contact with the uneven surface of the present invention. On the other hand, if the ten-point average roughness (Rz) is too large, the haze becomes large, and when applied to a high-definition liquid crystal display, the color separation of pixels occurs, causing flickering and so on. It is not preferable.

  In the present invention, the ten-point average roughness (Rz) is defined in accordance with JIS B0601-1982. Specifically, the ten-point average roughness (Rz) is a value obtained by an analog surface roughness measuring instrument, and in the cross-sectional curve (data as measured) of the reference length in descending order from the highest peak. It is a value defined as the sum of the average of the peak heights up to the fifth and the average of the depths of the valleys up to the fifth in order from the deepest bottom. Here, the reference length is 0.25 mm.

(Average arithmetic roughness (Ra))
Further, the average arithmetic roughness (Ra) of the unevenness of the surface of the cured resin layer is preferably 2 nm or more and less than 200 nm, more preferably 10 nm or more and less than 150 nm, and particularly preferably 20 nm or more and less than 100 nm. . If the average arithmetic roughness (Ra) is too large, the haze becomes large, and when it is applied to a high-definition liquid crystal display, it is not preferable as a substrate for display applications because it causes pixel color separation and flickering. On the other hand, when the average arithmetic roughness (Ra) is too small, Newton's ring occurs when the glass or film substrate is brought into strong contact with the uneven surface of the present invention.

  In the present invention, the average arithmetic roughness (centerline average roughness) (Ra) is defined in accordance with JIS B0601-1994. Specifically, the arithmetic average roughness (Ra) is determined by extracting a portion of the reference length L from the roughness curve in the direction of the center line, the center line of the extracted portion being the X axis, and the direction of the vertical magnification being the Y axis. And when the roughness curve is represented by y = f (x), it is represented by the following formula:

<Hardened resin layer-haze>
The cured resin layer having an uneven surface according to the present invention comprises a solvent, a dispersant, an addition amount of metal oxide ultrafine particles A and / or metal fluoride ultrafine particles B, an addition amount of first and second resin components, and a cured resin. By changing parameters such as the film thickness of the layer, Rz, Ra, and further haze can be controlled freely.

  From the viewpoint of visibility, the haze of the conductive laminate of the present invention is preferably 1% or more and less than 10%, more preferably 1% or more and less than 8%, particularly preferably 1% or more and less than 7%. More preferably less than 6%.

In the present invention, haze is defined according to JIS K7136. Specifically, haze is a value defined as the ratio of diffuse transmittance τ _d to total light transmittance τ _t , and more specifically can be determined from the following equation:
Haze (%) = [(τ ₄ / τ ₂ ) −τ ₃ (τ ₂ / τ ₁ )] × 100
τ ₁ : incident light beam τ ₂ : total light beam transmitted through the test piece τ ₃ : light beam diffused by the device τ ₄ : light beam diffused by the device and the test piece

<Hardened resin layer-image clarity>
In particular, the cured resin layer allows the conductive laminate of the present invention to satisfy the following formulas (1) and (2) relating to image sharpness:
70% ≦ α ≦ 98%, preferably 75% ≦ α ≦ 95%, more preferably 77% ≦ α ≦ 95%, and even more preferably 80% ≦ α ≦ 93%
... (1)
0.50 <β / α <1.05, preferably 0.80 <β / α <1.05, more preferably 0.85 <β / α <1.05, even more preferably 0.90 <β /Α<1.05
... (2)
(Α: transmitted image definition at normal incidence when using 2.0 mm optical comb,
β: transmitted image definition with incident light having an incident angle of 60 ° when an optical comb of 2.0 mm is used.

  These transmitted image claritys can be measured as transmission image clarity (%) when a 2.0 mm optical comb is used in accordance with JIS K7105 (1999 edition).

  Satisfying the relationship of formula (1) means that when a transparent conductive film is placed on the display, the distortion of the transmission image seen from the vertical direction is small. Moreover, the fact that the relationship of the formula (2) is satisfied along with the formula (1) means that when the transparent conductive film is placed on the display, the distortion of the transmitted image seen from the vertical direction and the oblique direction is small. means.

<Curing resin layer-forming method>
As a method for forming a cured resin layer having an uneven surface according to the present invention, formation by a wet method is particularly suitable. For example, a doctor knife, bar coater, gravure roll coater, curtain coater, knife coater, spin coater, spray method, immersion Any known method such as a method can be used.

<Transparent conductive layer>
In the present invention, the transparent conductive layer is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include a crystalline metal layer or a crystalline metal compound layer. Examples of the component constituting the transparent conductive layer include metal oxide layers such as silicon oxide, aluminum oxide, titanium oxide, magnesium oxide, zinc oxide, indium oxide, and tin oxide. Of these, a crystalline layer mainly composed of indium oxide is preferable, and a layer made of crystalline ITO (Indium Tin Oxide) is particularly preferably used.

  When the transparent conductive layer is crystalline, the crystal grain size need not be particularly limited, but is preferably 3000 nm or less. A crystal grain size exceeding 3000 nm is not preferable because writing durability is deteriorated. Here, the crystal grain size is defined as the largest diagonal line or diameter in each polygonal or oval region observed under a transmission electron microscope (TEM).

  When the transparent conductive layer is not a crystalline film, the sliding durability and environmental reliability required for the touch panel may be lowered.

  The transparent conductive layer can be formed by a known method. For example, a physical formation method (such as a DC magnetron sputtering method, an RF magnetron sputtering method, an ion plating method, a vacuum deposition method, a pulse laser deposition method) Physical Vapor Deposition (hereinafter referred to as “PVD”)) or the like can be used, but focusing on industrial productivity of forming a metal compound layer having a uniform film thickness over a large area, the DC magnetron sputtering method is desirable. In addition to the physical formation method (PVD), a chemical formation method such as a chemical vapor deposition method (hereinafter referred to as “CVD”) or a sol-gel method may be used. The sputtering method is desirable from the viewpoint of thickness control.

  The film thickness of the transparent conductive layer is preferably 5 to 50 nm from the viewpoints of transparency and conductivity. More preferably, it is 5-30 nm. If the film thickness of the transparent conductive layer is less than 5 nm, the resistance value tends to be inferior in stability over time, and if it exceeds 50 nm, the surface resistance value decreases, which is not preferable as a touch panel.

  When the transparent conductive laminate of the present invention is used for a touch panel, the surface resistance value of the transparent conductive layer is 100 to 2000Ω / □ (Ω at a film thickness of 10 to 30 nm due to reduction of power consumption of the touch panel and circuit processing. / Sq), more preferably a transparent conductive layer having a range of 140 to 1000 Ω / □ (Ω / sq) is preferably used.

<Metal compound layer>
The transparent conductive laminate of the present invention may further have a metal compound layer having a film thickness of 0.5 nm or more and less than 5.0 nm between the cured resin layer having an uneven surface and the transparent conductive layer.

  By sequentially laminating a transparent organic polymer substrate, a cured resin layer having an uneven surface, a metal compound layer having a controlled film thickness, and a transparent conductive layer, the adhesion between the layers is greatly improved. Further, by making the metal of the metal oxide ultrafine particles A and / or metal fluoride ultrafine particles B in the cured resin layer the same as the metal of the above metal compound layer, the cured resin layer and the transparent conductive layer having an uneven surface The adhesion between the layers is further improved.

  In the transparent touch panel using the transparent conductive laminate having such a metal compound layer, the writing durability required for the transparent touch panel is improved as compared with the case where there is no metal compound layer. When the thickness of the metal compound layer is 5.0 nm or more, the endurance durability required for the transparent touch panel cannot be improved because the metal compound layer starts to exhibit mechanical properties as a continuum. On the other hand, when the film thickness is less than 0.5 nm, it is difficult to control the film thickness, and it becomes difficult to sufficiently develop the adhesion between the cured resin layer having an uneven surface and the transparent conductive layer, which is required for a transparent touch panel. Improvement in writing durability may be insufficient.

  Examples of the component constituting the metal compound layer include metal oxide layers such as silicon oxide, aluminum oxide, titanium oxide, magnesium oxide, zinc oxide, indium oxide, and tin oxide.

  These metal compound layers can be formed by a known method, for example, physical formation such as DC magnetron sputtering method, RF magnetron sputtering method, ion plating method, vacuum deposition method, pulse laser deposition method, etc. The method (PVD) or the like can be used, but the DC magnetron sputtering method is desirable from the viewpoint of industrial productivity of forming a metal compound layer having a uniform film thickness over a large area. In addition to the physical formation method (PVD), a chemical formation method such as a chemical vapor deposition method (CVD) or a sol-gel method can be used, but the sputtering method is desirable from the viewpoint of film thickness control. .

  As a target used for sputtering, a metal target is preferably used, and a reactive sputtering method is widely employed. This is because the oxide of the element used as the metal compound layer is often an insulator, and in the case of a metal compound target, the DC magnetron sputtering method is often not applicable. In recent years, a power source has been developed that simultaneously discharges two cathodes and suppresses formation of an insulator on a target, and a pseudo RF magnetron sputtering method can be applied.

<Optical interference layer and hard coat layer>
In the transparent conductive laminate of the present invention, an optical interference layer and a hard coat layer for controlling reflectivity by optical interference can be used singly or in combination in a suitable order as necessary. . The order in which the transparent conductive layer, the optical interference layer, and the hard coat layer are laminated is not particularly limited as long as the function expected to be exhibited is achieved according to the application. When these stacking orders are used as, for example, a touch panel substrate, the transparent conductive layer is A, the optical interference layer is B, the cured resin layer having an uneven surface is C, the transparent organic polymer substrate is D, and the hard coat is E. For example, A / B / C / D / E, A / B / C / D / C, A / B / B / C / D / E, A / B / B / C / D / C, A / C / D / E / B, A / C / D / C / B, A / C / D / E / B / B, A / C / D / C / B / B, B / A / C / D / E, B / A / C / D / C, etc.

  The optical interference layer refers to a layer that prevents or suppresses reflected light by appropriately combining a high refractive index layer and a low refractive index layer. The optical interference layer is composed of at least one high refractive index layer and at least one low refractive index layer. Two or more combination units of the high refractive index layer and the low refractive index layer may be used. When the optical interference layer is composed of one high refractive index layer and one low refractive index layer, the thickness of the optical interference layer is preferably 30 nm to 150 nm, and more preferably 50 nm to 150 nm. The optical interference layer can be formed by either a wet method or a dry method. For example, doctor methods, bar coaters, gravure roll coaters, curtain coaters, knife coaters, spin coaters, etc. for wet methods, spray methods, dipping methods, etc., dry methods such as PVD methods such as sputtering, vacuum deposition, ion plating, Printing method, CVD method, etc. can be applied.

  As the hard coat layer, a thermosetting resin, an active energy ray curable resin, or the like can be applied. Among these, an ultraviolet curable resin using ultraviolet rays for active energy rays is preferable because it is excellent in productivity and economy.

  Examples of the ultraviolet curable resin for the hard coat layer include 1,6-hexanediol diacrylate, 1,4-butanediol diacrylate, ethylene glycol diacrylate, diethylene glycol diacrylate, tetraethylene glycol diacrylate, and tripropylene glycol. Diacrylate, neopentyl glycol diacrylate, 1,4-butanediol dimethacrylate, poly (butanediol) diacrylate, tetraethylene glycol dimethacrylate, 1,3-butylene glycol diacrylate, triethylene glycol diacrylate, triisopropylene Diacrylates such as glycol diacrylate, polyethylene glycol diacrylate and bisphenol A dimethacrylate; Triacrylates such as roll propane triacrylate, trimethylolpropane trimethacrylate, pentaerythritol monohydroxytriacrylate and trimethylolpropane triethoxytriacrylate; tetraacrylates such as pentaerythritol tetraacrylate and di-trimethylolpropane tetraacrylate; and Mention may be made of pentaacrylates such as dipentaerythritol (monohydroxy) pentaacrylate. As the ultraviolet curable resin for the hard coat layer, a polyfunctional acrylate having 5 or more functional groups can also be used. These polyfunctional acrylates may be used alone or in combination of two or more. Further, these acrylates are used by adding one or more of third components such as photoinitiators, photosensitizers, leveling agents, fine particles composed of metal oxides and acrylic components, and ultrafine particles. be able to.
