In addition, about a base material, the acrylic resin film suitable for the optical film concerning this invention is mentioned as an example, and is demonstrated.

(1-1. Substrate)
An acrylic resin film is a film comprised from the acrylic resin (A) containing a (meth) acrylic polymer. That is, the acrylic resin film is made of an acrylic resin (A).

  The acrylic resin film is obtained by molding the acrylic resin (A). The content of the (meth) acrylic polymer in the acrylic resin (A) is usually 30% by mass or more, preferably 50% by mass or more, more preferably 70% by mass or more, particularly preferably 90% by mass or more, and most preferably. It is 95 mass% or more. The (meth) acrylic polymer has excellent optical properties such as high light transmittance and low wavelength dependency of refractive index. For this reason, the acrylic resin (A) containing a (meth) acrylic polymer is suitable for use in an optical film.

  The (meth) acrylic polymer is a polymer having a structural unit ((meth) acrylic acid ester unit) derived from a (meth) acrylic acid ester monomer. The content of the (meth) acrylic acid ester unit in the (meth) acrylic polymer is usually 10% by mass or more, preferably 30% by mass or more, more preferably 50% by mass or more, and particularly preferably 70% by mass or more. .

  The (meth) acrylic polymer may have a ring structure in the main chain. The ring structure is obtained by, for example, copolymerizing a (meth) acrylate monomer and a monomer having a ring structure, or polymerizing a monomer group including a (meth) acrylate monomer. By proceeding with the cyclization reaction, it is introduced into the main chain of the (meth) acrylic polymer. When the polymer has a ring structure in the main chain, the polymer is a (meth) acrylic polymer if the total content of the (meth) acrylic acid ester unit and the ring structure is 50% by mass or more.

  (Meth) acrylic acid ester units are, for example, methyl (meth) acrylate, ethyl (meth) acrylate, n-propyl (meth) acrylate, n-butyl (meth) acrylate, t- (meth) acrylic acid t- Butyl, n-hexyl (meth) acrylate, cyclohexyl (meth) acrylate, benzyl (meth) acrylate, chloromethyl (meth) acrylate, 2-chloroethyl (meth) acrylate, 2-hydroxy (meth) acrylate Each of ethyl, 3-hydroxypropyl (meth) acrylate, 2,3,4,5,6-pentahydroxyhexyl (meth) acrylate, and 2,3,4,5-tetrahydroxypentyl (meth) acrylate It is a structural unit derived from a monomer.

  The (meth) acrylic polymer preferably has methyl (meth) acrylate units. In this case, the optical properties and thermal stability of the finally obtained optical film are improved. The (meth) acrylic polymer may have two or more (meth) acrylic acid ester units.

  The (meth) acrylic polymer may have a structural unit other than the (meth) acrylic acid ester unit. Such structural units include, for example, styrene, vinyl toluene, α-methylstyrene, α-hydroxymethylstyrene, α-hydroxyethylstyrene, acrylonitrile, methacrylonitrile, ethylene, propylene, 4-methyl-1-pentene, acetic acid. It is a structural unit derived from each monomer of vinyl, 2-hydroxymethyl-1-butene, methyl vinyl ketone, N-vinyl pyrrolidone, and N-vinyl carbazole. The (meth) acrylic polymer may have two or more of these structural units. When the (meth) acrylic polymer has N-vinylpyrrolidone units or N-vinylcarbazole units, the degree of freedom in controlling the birefringence wavelength dispersibility in the optical film is improved. For example, in the visible light region, a retardation film exhibiting wavelength dispersibility (so-called reverse wavelength dispersibility) can be obtained as the birefringence decreases (the absolute value of the phase difference decreases) as the wavelength of light decreases.

  When a cyclic structure is introduced into the main chain by a cyclization reaction after polymerization, the (meth) acrylic polymer is formed by copolymerization of a monomer group including a monomer having a hydroxyl group and / or a carboxylic acid group. Is preferred.

Examples of the monomer having a carboxylic acid group include acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, crotonic acid, 2- (hydroxymethyl) acrylic acid, and 2- (hydroxyethyl) acrylic acid.

  Two or more of these monomers may be used. These monomers become a ring structure located in the main chain of the (meth) acrylic polymer by a cyclization reaction, but it is not necessary that all of the monomers change into a ring structure during the cyclization reaction. The (meth) acrylic polymer after the cyclization reaction may have a structural unit derived from these monomers.

  The weight average molecular weight of the (meth) acrylic polymer is preferably 10,000 to 500,000, more preferably 20,000 to 400,000, and still more preferably 30,000 to 300,000.

  The (meth) acrylic polymer preferably has a ring structure in the main chain. The acrylic resin film preferably contains a (meth) acrylic polymer having a ring structure in the main chain. In this case, the heat resistance and hardness of the optical film are improved. In addition to this, the ring structure of the main chain contributes to the development of a large retardation in the acrylic resin film by stretching. This feature enables the use of the optical film of the present invention as a polarizer protective film having a retardation film or retardation film function.

  The ring structure that the (meth) acrylic polymer may have in the main chain is, for example, at least one selected from an N-substituted maleimide structure, a maleic anhydride structure, a glutarimide structure, a glutaric anhydride structure, and a lactone ring structure. It is a seed. The N-substituted maleimide structure is, for example, a cyclohexylmaleimide structure, a methylmaleimide structure, a phenylmaleimide structure, or a benzylmaleimide structure.

  From the viewpoint of the heat resistance of the optical film, the ring structure includes a lactone ring structure, a cyclic imide structure (for example, an N-alkyl-substituted maleimide structure, a glutarimide structure), and a cyclic anhydride structure (for example, a maleic anhydride structure and an anhydrous structure).

When X ¹ is an oxygen atom, R ³ is not present, and when X ¹ is a nitrogen atom, R ³ is a hydrogen atom, a linear alkyl group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, a cyclopentyl group, a cyclohexyl group, a benzyl group Or it is a phenyl group.

When X ¹ is an oxygen atom, the ring structure represented by the general formula (1) is a glutaric anhydride structure. The glutaric anhydride structure can be formed, for example, by subjecting a copolymer of (meth) acrylic acid ester and (meth) acrylic acid to dealcoholization cyclocondensation in the molecule.

When X ¹ is a nitrogen atom, the ring structure represented by the general formula (1) is a glutarimide structure. The glutarimide structure can be formed, for example, by imidizing a (meth) acrylic acid ester polymer with an imidizing agent such as methylamine.

  The following general formula (2) shows a maleic anhydride structure and an N-substituted maleimide structure.

In the general formula (2), R ⁴ and R ⁵ are each independently a hydrogen atom or a methyl group, and X ² is an oxygen atom or a nitrogen atom. When X ² is an oxygen atom, R ⁶ is not present, and when X ² is a nitrogen atom, R ⁶ is a hydrogen atom, a linear alkyl group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, a cyclopentyl group, a cyclohexyl group, a benzyl group. Or it is a phenyl group.

When X ² is an oxygen atom, the ring structure represented by the general formula (2) is a maleic anhydride structure. The maleic anhydride structure can be formed, for example, by copolymerizing maleic anhydride and (meth) acrylic acid ester.

When X ² is a nitrogen atom, the ring structure represented by the general formula (2) is an N-substituted maleimide structure. The N-substituted maleimide structure can be formed, for example, by polymerizing an N-substituted maleimide such as phenylmaleimide and a (meth) acrylic acid ester.

  In each method for forming the ring structure exemplified in the description of the general formulas (1) and (2), all the polymers used for forming each ring structure have (meth) acrylate units as constituent units. Therefore, the resin obtained by the method is an acrylic resin.

  The lactone ring structure which is a 6-membered ring is, for example, the structure disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2004-168882, but the lactone ring structure is high due to the high polymerization yield of the precursor and the cyclization condensation reaction of the precursor. The structure represented by the following general formula (3) is preferable because an acrylic resin having a ring content can be obtained, and a polymer having a methyl methacrylate unit as a constituent unit can be used as a precursor.

In the general formula (3), R ⁷ , R ⁸ and R ⁹ are each independently a hydrogen atom or an organic residue having 1 to 20 carbon atoms. The organic residue may contain an oxygen atom.

  The organic residue in the general formula (3) is, for example, an alkyl group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms such as a methyl group, an ethyl group, or a propyl group, and an organic residue having 2 to 20 carbon atoms such as an ethenyl group or a propenyl group. An aromatic hydrocarbon group having 6 to 20 carbon atoms, such as a saturated aliphatic hydrocarbon group, a phenyl group, or a naphthyl group, and the alkyl group, the unsaturated aliphatic hydrocarbon group, and the aromatic hydrocarbon group are One or more hydrogen atoms may be substituted with at least one group selected from a hydroxyl group, a carboxyl group, an ether group, and an ester group.

  When the acrylic resin (A) has a lactone ring structure in the main chain, the content of the lactone ring structure in the resin is not particularly limited, but is, for example, 5 to 90% by mass, preferably 10 to 80% by mass. More preferably, it is 10-70 mass%, More preferably, it is 20-60 mass%.

  When the content of the ring structure in the acrylic resin (A) becomes transiently small, the heat resistance of the film may be lowered, and the solvent resistance and surface hardness may be insufficient. On the other hand, when the above content rate increases transiently, the moldability and mechanical properties of the film deteriorate.

  The (meth) acrylic polymer having a ring structure in the main chain can be formed by a known method.

Group-substituted phenyl) -1,3,5-triazine skeleton and 2,4,6-tris (2-hydroxy-3-alkyl-4-long-chain alkyloxy group-substituted phenyl) -1,3,5-triazine skeleton The ultraviolet absorber having is a particularly preferred triazine-based ultraviolet absorber.

  Examples of commercially available products include “Tinuvin 1577”, “Tinuvin 460”, “Tinuvin 477” (manufactured by BASF Japan) as triazine-based UV absorbers, and “Adeka Stub LA-31” (manufactured by ADEKA) as triazole-based UV absorbers. It is done.

  These can be used alone or in combination of two or more. Moreover, it is also preferable to use together the method of copolymerizing the said ultraviolet absorptive monomer with an ultraviolet absorber.

  Although the compounding quantity of a ultraviolet-stable monomer ultraviolet absorber is not specifically limited, It is preferable that it is 0.01-25 mass% in the film containing an acrylic resin, More preferably, it is 0.05-10 mass%. . If the amount added is too small, the contribution to improving weather resistance is low, and if it is too large, the mechanical strength may be lowered or yellowing may be caused.

  The light transmittance at a wavelength of 380 nm of the acrylic resin film containing the ultraviolet absorber is preferably 30% or less, more preferably 20% or less, still more preferably 10% or less, and particularly preferably 5% or less. .

  The ultraviolet absorber preferably has a molecular weight of 600 or more, more preferably 650 or more, and still more preferably 700 or more.

  When the molecular weight is less than 600, foaming may occur or the ultraviolet absorbent may bleed out when the acrylic resin composition to which the ultraviolet absorbent has been added is molded. In addition, the UV absorber may evaporate due to heat applied at the time of molding, resulting in problems such as reduced UV absorption ability of the resulting resin molded product and contamination of the molding equipment with the evaporated UV absorber. There is.

  On the other hand, the upper limit of the molecular weight of the ultraviolet absorber is preferably 10,000 or less, more preferably 8000 or less, and even more preferably 5000 or less. When the molecular weight exceeds 10,000, compatibility with the acrylic resin is lowered, and optical properties such as hue and turbidity of the finally obtained resin molded product are lowered.

  The acrylic resin film may contain other additives. Other additives include, for example, hindered phenol-based, phosphorus-based and sulfur-based antioxidants; light-resistant stabilizers, weather-resistant stabilizers, heat-stabilizers and other stabilizers; glass fibers, carbon fibers and other reinforcing materials; Near-infrared absorbers; flame retardants such as tris (dibromopropyl) phosphate, triallyl phosphate, antimony oxide; antistatic agents composed of anionic, cationic, and nonionic surfactants; inorganic pigments, organic pigments, dyes Coloring agents such as: organic fillers, inorganic fillers; anti-blocking agents; resin modifiers; organic fillers, inorganic fillers; plasticizers; lubricants;

  The content of other additives in the acrylic resin film is preferably 0 to 5% by mass, more preferably 0 to 2% by mass, and still more preferably 0 to 1% by mass.

Although the upper limit of Tg of an acrylic resin film is not specifically limited, From a viewpoint of the drawability of the said film, Preferably it is 170 degrees C or less.

  The (meth) acrylic polymer having a ring structure in the main chain increases the Tg of an acrylic resin film and an optical film composed of the film, and improves heat resistance.

  The thickness of an acrylic resin film is not specifically limited, Preferably it is 5-200 micrometers, More preferably, it is 10-100 micrometers.

  If the thickness is less than 5 μm, sufficient strength as an optical film may not be maintained. If the thickness exceeds 200 μm, the transparency of the film may be reduced, making it unsuitable for use as an optical film.

  In addition to this, the thickness of the excessively large acrylic resin film allows the adhesive composition used for the adhesive layer to be dried when the optical film of the present invention is bonded to another member (for example, a functional film). Inhibit. In particular, when using a water-based adhesive composition, the quality and production of an optical member having a laminated structure of the optical film of the present invention and other members is slowed by drying of water as a solvent or dispersion medium. It tends to cause a decline in sex.

  The wetting tension on the surface of the acrylic resin film is preferably 40 mN / m or more, more preferably 50 mN / m or more, and further preferably 55 mN / m or more. When the surface wetting tension is 40 mN / m or more, the adhesion between the optical film of the present invention and other members is further improved.

  In order to adjust the surface wetting tension, any appropriate surface treatment may be applied to the surface of the acrylic resin film. The surface treatment is, for example, corona discharge treatment, plasma treatment, ozone spraying, ultraviolet irradiation, flame treatment, or chemical treatment. Of these, corona discharge treatment and plasma treatment are preferred.

  The acrylic resin film may be an unstretched film or a stretched film. The stretched film may be a uniaxially stretched film or a biaxially stretched film. The biaxially stretched film may be a simultaneous biaxially stretched film or a sequential biaxially stretched film. The direction of the slow axis of the stretched film may be the film flow direction, the width direction, or an arbitrary direction.

  When the acrylic resin film is a biaxially stretched film, the mechanical strength of the optical film of the present invention is improved. Depending on the composition of the acrylic resin, the development of retardation due to stretching can be suppressed, and an optically isotropic optical film can be obtained. When the optical film of the present invention is a retardation film, the acrylic resin film is a stretched film.

  The acrylic resin film can be formed by a known film deposition method. Examples of the film forming method include a solution casting method (solution casting method), a melt extrusion method, a calendar method, and a compression molding method. Of these, the solution casting method and the melt extrusion method are preferable.

  The acrylic resin used for film formation can be formed by a known method. For example, an acrylic resin is formed by sufficiently mixing (meth) acrylic polymer, other thermoplastic polymer and additives blended according to the composition of the acrylic resin to be obtained by an appropriate mixing method. .

  The mixing method is, for example, extrusion kneading or mixing in a solution state. A commercially available acrylic resin may be used for film formation. Commercially available acrylic resins are, for example, Acrypet VH and Acrypet VRL20A (both manufactured by Mitsubishi Rayon). Any suitable mixer such as an omni mixer, a single screw extruder, a twin screw extruder, or a pressure kneader can be used for the extrusion kneading.

  An apparatus for performing the solution casting method is, for example, a drum type casting machine, a band type casting machine, or a spin coater.

  The solvent used for the solution casting method is not limited as long as the acrylic resin is dissolved. Examples of the solvent include aromatic hydrocarbons such as benzene, toluene, and xylene; aliphatic hydrocarbons such as cyclohexane and decalin; esters such as ethyl acetate and butyl acetate; ketones such as acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, and methyl isobutyl ketone. Methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, butanol, isobutanol, alcohols such as methyl cellosolve, ethyl cellosolve, butyl cellosolve; ethers such as tetrahydrofuran and dioxane; halogenated hydrocarbons such as dichloromethane, chloroform and carbon tetrachloride; dimethylformamide; dimethyl sulfoxide is there. Two or more of these solvents may be used in combination.

  Examples of the melt extrusion method include a T-die method and an inflation method. The molding temperature during melt extrusion is preferably 150 to 350 ° C, more preferably 200 to 300 ° C. When the T-die method is selected, for example, a belt-like acrylic resin film can be formed by attaching a T-die to the tip of a known extruder. The formed strip-shaped acrylic resin film may be wound on a roll to form a film roll. In the melt extrusion method, from the formation of an acrylic resin by mixing materials to the formation of an acrylic resin film using the resin can be continuously performed. A band-shaped optical film may be obtained by forming an easy-adhesion layer on the band-shaped acrylic resin film.

  The acrylic resin film which is a stretched film can be formed by stretching the acrylic resin film obtained as described above. The stretching method is not particularly limited, and a known stretching machine can be used for stretching. When the acrylic resin film is formed by the T-die method, the temperature of the roll for winding the formed film can be adjusted to simultaneously perform uniaxial stretching and film winding.

  When the acrylic resin film is formed by melt extrusion, steps from the formation of the acrylic resin by mixing the materials to the formation of the optical film as the stretched film through the formation of the acrylic resin film can be performed continuously.

  After stretching, heat treatment (annealing) of the film may be performed in order to stabilize the optical isotropy and mechanical properties of the film. The method and conditions for the heat treatment can be appropriately selected.

(1-2. Easy adhesion layer)
The optical film of the present invention has an easy-adhesion layer (a) containing a resin having easy adhesion and a water-soluble resin.

  The easy-adhesion layer (a) contains a resin having easy adhesion and a water-soluble resin in order to improve the adhesion between the substrate (for example, an acrylic resin film) and the functional coating layer. That is, the optical film of the present invention is an easily adhesive layer (a) containing an easily adhesive resin and a water-soluble resin for improving the adhesion between a base material made of an acrylic resin and a functional coating layer. The optical film which has these.

  When an acrylic resin film is used as a base material, the easy-adhesion layer (a) should just be formed in one main surface of an acrylic resin film. In this specification, the “main surface” is not a surface in the thickness direction of the film, but a surface determined by the side in the longitudinal direction and the side in the width direction of the film, that is, the surface and the back surface. That means.

  The formation method of the easily bonding layer (a) with respect to the main surface of an acrylic resin film is not limited, What is necessary is just to follow a well-known method. The easy adhesion layer (a) is preferably formed by applying the easy adhesion composition to the main surface of the acrylic resin film to form a coating film of the composition and then drying the formed coating film.

  In the present specification, the easy-adhesion composition refers to a composition (first composition) for forming the easy-adhesion layer (a) containing a resin having easy adhesion. The resin having easy adhesion is not particularly limited, and may be a known resin having easy adhesion or a composite resin thereof, and may include one kind or two or more kinds. Examples of the resin having easy adhesion include polyester resin, acrylic resin, urethane resin, cellulose resin, polyol resin, polycarboxylic acid resin, or any composite resin thereof.

  The easily bonding composition should just contain water-soluble resin, when apply | coating to the main surface of an acrylic resin film. That is, the easy-adhesion composition may contain a water-soluble resin in advance or a mixture with a composition containing a water-soluble resin. Such a composition containing a water-soluble resin is also within the scope of the present invention as a composition (second composition) for forming the easy-adhesion layer (a). As mentioned above, even if it contains a resin having easy adhesion, it may be used by mixing with a composition containing a resin having easy adhesion. Furthermore, a kit including a water-soluble resin and an easily adhesive resin, a kit including a water-soluble resin, and a kit including an easily adhesive composition not including a water-soluble resin Moreover, it is within the scope of the present invention as a kit for forming the easy adhesion layer (a).

  The water-soluble resin is not particularly limited and may be a known water-soluble resin or a composite resin thereof, and vinyl alcohol, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, polyethylene glycol, polyacrylic acid and salts thereof, hydroxyethyl cellulose, and carboxymethyl cellulose are more preferable. , Polyvinyl alcohol or polyvinylpyrrolidone.

  An easy-adhesion composition containing a water-soluble resin is obtained by mixing an easily-adhesive resin and a water-soluble resin, or by mixing an easy-adhesion composition and a water-soluble resin that do not contain a water-soluble resin. It is obtained by mixing with the composition containing. These compositions are preferably water-based compositions, more preferably resins having easy adhesion and / or dispersions of water-soluble resins, and typically emulsions of resins having easy adhesion. And / or an emulsion of a water-soluble resin. The emulsion of the easily adhesive resin and the water-soluble resin becomes a resin layer containing the easily adhesive resin and the water-soluble resin by drying.

  In the easy-adhesion composition used in the present invention, the composition ratio of the easily-adhesive resin and the water-soluble resin is preferably 95/5 to 10/90, more preferably 90, in terms of resin solids weight ratio. / 10 to 20/80, more preferably 80/20 to 30/70. If it is out of this range, the effect of improving the adhesion may be reduced or the water resistance may be lowered.

  Although the thickness of an easily bonding layer (a) is not specifically limited, Although it changes with thickness of an acrylic resin film, 1 nm-10 micrometers are preferable, 10 nm-5 micrometers are more preferable, and 50 nm-1.5 micrometers are more preferable. In this range, the effect of improving the adhesion between the optical film and the functional coating layer by the easy adhesion layer (a) is good. In addition to this, it is possible to suppress the development of a phase difference in the easy-adhesion layer itself.

  As described above, the resin constituting the easy-adhesion layer (a) is preferably a polyester resin, an acrylic resin, a urethane resin, or any composite resin thereof, and in particular, a urethane resin, an acrylic resin, and a polyester- It is preferable to include at least one kind of acrylic composite resin.

  In the present invention, the polyester resin used as the resin having easy adhesion is preferably water-dispersible. After the esterification or transesterification of dicarboxylic acid and diglycol by a known production technique, the polycondensation reaction is performed. However, the manufacturing method is not limited at all. That is, the above-mentioned acid component and glycol component are esterified or transesterified at 130 to 200 ° C., and then subjected to a polycondensation reaction at 200 to 250 ° C. under reduced pressure conditions to obtain a target polyester resin. it can.

  Examples of the reaction catalyst used at this time include metal acetates such as zinc acetate and manganese acetate, metal oxides such as antimony oxide and germanium oxide, and titanium compounds.

  The dicarboxylic acid component, which is a copolymer component of the polyester resin, includes an ester-forming sulfonic acid alkali metal salt compound as an essential component, and dicarboxylic acid components that can be contained in addition to the ester-forming sulfonic acid alkali metal salt compound include phthalic acid, Aromatic dicarboxylic acids such as terephthalic acid, dimethyl terephthalate, isophthalic acid, dimethyl isophthalate, 2,5-dimethylterephthalic acid, 2,6-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid, biphenyldicarboxylic acid, orthophthalic acid, succinic acid, adipic acid, azelain Examples thereof include aliphatic dicarboxylic acids such as acid, sebacic acid and dodecanedicarboxylic acid, and alicyclic dicarboxylic acids such as cyclohexanedicarboxylic acid.

  As the dicarboxylic acid component other than the ester-forming sulfonic acid alkali metal salt compound, an aromatic dicarboxylic acid is preferable, and since the aromatic nucleus of the aromatic dicarboxylic acid has a high affinity with a hydrophobic plastic, adhesion is improved, There is an advantage that it is excellent in degradability. In particular, terephthalic acid and isophthalic acid are preferable.

  The ester-forming sulfonic acid alkali metal salt compound is preferably contained in the total acid component (in the dicarboxylic acid component) in an amount of 6 to 20 mol%. More preferably, it is 10-18 mol%. When the content of the ester-forming alkali metal sulfonate compound is less than 6 mol%, the dispersion time of the resin in water becomes long and the solvent resistance is not sufficient. Conversely, if it exceeds 20 mol%, the water resistance tends to decrease.

  Examples of the ester-forming sulfonic acid alkali metal salt compound include alkali metal salts such as sulfoterephthalic acid, 5-sulfoisophthalic acid, 4-sulfoisophthalic acid, 4-sulfonaphthalenic acid-2,7-dicarboxylic acid (alkali sulfonic acid alkali). Metal salts) and their ester-forming derivatives, and the sodium salt of 5-sulfoisophthalic acid and its ester-forming derivatives are more preferably used.

  It is preferable to contain 20-80 mol% of diethylene glycol in the total glycol component. Even if diethylene glycol is outside this range, solvent resistance to alcohol can be obtained, but solvent resistance may be insufficient with respect to aromatic solvents such as toluene and xylene.

  The polyester resin needs to have a number average molecular weight of 2,000 to 30,000, and a preferred number average molecular weight is 2,500 to 25,000. If the number average molecular weight is less than 2,000, the resin physical properties such as water resistance and solvent resistance may be deteriorated, and if it exceeds 30,000, only water-dispersible and difficult to handle resins can be obtained. There is.

  When the polyester resin is water-dispersible, it is used by uniformly dispersing water in water or water containing an aqueous solvent under heating and stirring at 50 to 90 ° C. Since the aqueous dispersion obtained in this way is difficult to obtain a uniform dispersion when the solid content concentration becomes high, the polyester solid content concentration is preferably 30% by mass or less.

This effect is particularly remarkable in a high temperature and high humidity environment. The polyester resin having a carboxyl group may be produced by a known production technique. The polyester resin having a carboxyl group is, for example, a condensation reaction or polycondensation reaction using a trivalent or higher polyvalent carboxylic acid and an ester-forming derivative thereof (hereinafter collectively referred to as a trivalent or higher polyvalent carboxylic acid). By carrying out the process, a carboxyl group derived from a trivalent or higher polyvalent carboxylic acid or the like remains in the resin skeleton.

  Among these, silica is preferable. This is because silica can be further excellent in blocking inhibition ability, is excellent in transparency, does not cause haze, and is not colored, and thus has less influence on the optical properties of the polarizing plate. Moreover, since silica has good dispersibility and dispersion stability in the easy-adhesive composition, it can be more excellent in workability when forming the easy-adhesive layer (a). Furthermore, silica is excellent also in adhesiveness with an acrylic resin film.

  The upper limit of the content of fine particles in the easy-adhesion layer (a) is preferably less than 10% by mass, more preferably less than 5% by mass, and even more preferably less than 2% by mass.

Next, in the obtained distribution, the particle diameter of particles with an integrated volume fraction of 50% accumulated from the large particle side is obtained, and this is used as the average primary particle diameter (d50) of the fine particles.

  Separately from this, the particle diameter (d25) of particles with an integrated volume fraction of 25% and the particle diameter (d75) of 75% of particles accumulated from the large particle side in the distribution are obtained, and the ratio (d25 / d75) Is the particle size distribution of the fine particles.

The emulsion of the resin having easy adhesion becomes a resin layer containing the resin having easy adhesion by drying. The fine particles contained in the emulsion remain in the resin layer as they are.

  When the composition for forming the easy-adhesion layer (a) is aqueous, the fine particles are preferably blended as an aqueous dispersion. Specifically, when silica is employed as the fine particles, it is preferably blended as colloidal silica. Commercially available products can be used as they are as colloidal silica.

  The urethane resin preferably has a carboxyl group. By having a carboxyl group, the performance (easy adhesion) of the easy adhesion layer (b) is improved. This effect is particularly remarkable in a high temperature and high humidity environment.

  The urethane resin having a carboxyl group can be obtained, for example, by reacting a chain extender having a free carboxyl group in addition to a polyol and a polyisocyanate. Examples of the chain extender having a free carboxyl group are dihydroxycarboxylic acid and dihydroxysuccinic acid. The dihydroxycarboxylic acid is a dialkylol alkanoic acid such as dimethylol alkanoic acid (for example, dimethylol acetic acid, dimethylol butanoic acid, dimethylol propionic acid, dimethylol butyric acid, dimethylol pentanoic acid).

  The acid value of the urethane resin is preferably 10 or more, more preferably 10 to 50, and particularly preferably 20 to 45. In these cases, the performance of the easy-adhesion layer (for example, adhesion with other functional films such as a polarizer) is further improved.

  The urethane resin can be formed by applying a known method. This method is, for example, a one-shot method in which each component is reacted at once, or a multi-stage method in which the components are reacted stepwise. The urethane resin having a carboxyl group is preferably formed by a multistage method since the introduction of the carboxyl group is easy. The catalyst used for forming the urethane resin is not particularly limited.

  The water-based easy-adhesion composition used for forming the easy-adhesion layer (a) that is a urethane resin layer preferably contains a neutralizing agent in addition to the fine particles and the urethane resin. In this case, the stability of the urethane resin in the easy-adhesion composition is improved. Examples of the neutralizing agent include ammonia, N-methylmorpholine, triethylamine, dimethylethanolamine, methyldiethanolamine, triethanolamine, morpholine, tripropylamine, ethanolamine, triisopropanolamine, 2-amino-2-methyl-1- Propanol.

  When the easy-adhesion composition containing a urethane resin is aqueous, it is preferable to use an organic solvent that is inactive with respect to the polyisocyanate and is compatible with water when the urethane resin is formed. Examples of organic solvents include ester solvents such as ethyl acetate, butyl acetate, and ethyl cellosolve acetate; ketone solvents such as acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, and methyl isobutyl ketone; ether solvents such as dioxane, tetrahydrofuran, and propylene glycol monomethyl ether. is there.

  The easy-adhesion composition containing a urethane resin preferably contains a crosslinking agent, and in this case, the performance of the easy-adhesion layer (a) is improved. The crosslinking agent is not particularly limited. When the urethane resin has a carboxyl group, the crosslinking agent is preferably a polymer having a group capable of reacting with the carboxyl group.

  Examples of the group capable of reacting with a carboxyl group are an organic amino group, an oxazoline group, an epoxy group, and a carbodiimide group, and an oxazoline group is preferable. The crosslinking agent having an oxazoline group has a long pot life at room temperature when mixed with a urethane resin, and has a good workability because the crosslinking reaction proceeds by heating. The polymer is, for example, a (meth) acrylic polymer or a styrene / acrylic polymer, and a (meth) acrylic polymer is preferable. When the crosslinking agent is a (meth) acrylic polymer, the performance of the easy adhesion layer (a) is further improved. In addition to this, the (meth) acrylic polymer is stably compatible with the water-based easy-adhesive composition and crosslinks the urethane resin well.

  In the easily bonding composition containing a urethane resin, the content of the urethane resin in the composition is preferably 1.5 to 15% by mass, and more preferably 2 to 10% by mass. When content rate exists in these ranges, the applicability | paintability at the time of apply | coating an easily bonding composition to the surface of an acrylic resin film is high. When this composition further contains a crosslinking agent, the content of the crosslinking agent is preferably 1 to 30 parts by weight and more preferably 3 to 20 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of the urethane resin (solid content). The content of the fine particles in the easy-adhesion composition containing a urethane resin is preferably 0.3 to 10 parts by weight, and more preferably 0.5 to 1 part by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of the urethane resin (solid content).

  The easy adhesion layer (b) may contain fine particles, and preferable fine particles include the same fine particles as those contained in the easy adhesion layer (a) described above.

  Among these, silica is preferable. This is because the blocking ability can be further improved, the transparency is excellent, no haze is generated, and there is no coloring, so the influence on the optical properties of the polarizing plate is smaller. Further, since silica has good dispersibility and dispersion stability in the easy-adhesive composition, it can be more excellent in workability when forming the easy-adhesive layer (b). Furthermore, silica is excellent also in adhesiveness with an acrylic resin film.

  By using fine particles having such a particle size, irregularities are appropriately formed on the surface of the easy-adhesion layer (b), and the acrylic resin film and the easy-adhesion layer (b) and / or the easy-adhesion layer (b) are in contact with each other. The frictional force on the surface can be effectively reduced. As a result, the blocking inhibition ability can be further improved. Moreover, since the light scattering by particle | grains can be suppressed, so that an average primary particle diameter is smaller than a visible light wavelength and it is small, the influence which it has on the optical characteristic of a polarizing plate can be suppressed more.

  The easy-adhesion layer (b) is preferably provided in order to improve the adhesive strength between the polarizer and the polarizer protective film, and the content of fine particles in the easy-adhesion layer (b) in that case is calculated in terms of solid content. The upper limit is preferably less than 10% by mass, more preferably less than 5% by mass, and even more preferably less than 2% by mass. If the content of the fine particles exceeds 10% by mass in terms of solid content, the coating strength of the easy-adhesion layer (b) may be lowered or the transparency may be impaired. The lower limit of the content of the fine particles in the easy-adhesion layer (b) in terms of solid content is preferably 0.1% by mass or more, more preferably 0.15% by mass or more, and further preferably 0.2% by mass or more. When the content of the fine particles in terms of solid content is less than 0.1% by mass, the blocking resistance of the optical film having the easy-adhesion layer (b) may be lowered. By containing the fine particles in the above-described range, it is possible to suppress blocking when the optical film having the easy-adhesion layer (b) is wound into a roll.

(1-3. Optical film)
The optical film of the present invention is an optical film having an acrylic resin film made of an acrylic resin (A) and an easy-adhesion layer (a) containing a water-soluble resin.

  An example of the optical film of the present invention is shown in FIG. The optical film 1a shown in FIG. 1 has a structure in which an easy-adhesion layer (a) 3 is formed on one surface of an acrylic resin film 2. Specific configurations of the acrylic resin film 2 and the easy-adhesion layer (a) 3 are as described above.

  The optical film of the present invention is a film having an easy-adhesion layer (a) in which adhesion and transparency with a functional coating layer are compatible. Regarding transparency, the optical film of the present invention usually has a haze of 1.0% or less. Depending on the configuration of the optical film of the present invention, the haze is 0.5% or less, and further 0.3% or less. The haze is measured based on the specification of JIS K7136.

  When the optical film of the present invention has the easy-adhesion layer (a), in addition to improving the adhesion to the functional coating layer, the folding strength of the film may be improved. In general, it is known that the acrylic resin film is stretched to improve the folding strength of the film, but after forming the easy-adhesive layer (a) having excellent adhesion to the acrylic resin film, the acrylic resin film The bending strength can be further improved by stretching.

  The optical film of the present invention is, for example, a polarizer protective film, a retardation film, a viewing angle compensation film, a light diffusion film, a reflective film, an antireflection film, an antiglare film, a brightness enhancement film, and a conductive film for a touch panel.

  The retardation exhibited by the optical film of the present invention can be controlled by the composition and stretched state of the acrylic resin film. The optical film of the present invention may be an optically isotropic film or a film having optical anisotropy (for example, expressing birefringence such as retardation).

  The optical film of the present invention may be wound around a roll (may be a film roll). Since the optical film of the present invention is excellent in blocking resistance, it is suitable for a film roll.

  FIG. 2 shows an embodiment of an optical film according to the present invention, in which a functional coating layer is formed on the surface of the easy-adhesion layer (a) facing the surface on the acrylic resin film side. An optical film is shown. That is, the optical film of the present invention may be an optical film 1b in which various functional coating layers 4 are formed on the easy adhesion layer (a) 3 as shown in FIG.

  Functional coating layers include, for example, antistatic layers, hard coat layers, antiglare (non-glare) layers, antireflection layers such as low reflection layers and moth-eye layers, ultraviolet shielding layers, heat ray shielding layers, electromagnetic wave shielding layers, and gas barrier layers. And an antifouling layer such as a photocatalyst layer, an adhesive layer, and the like, and can be suitably used for the outermost surface of various image display devices.

  In addition, "the surface facing the said acrylic resin film side surface of the said easily bonding layer (a)" is the surface which has contact | adhered with the said acrylic resin film among the surfaces which an easily bonding layer (a) has. The opposite side.

  FIG. 3 shows an embodiment of the optical film according to the present invention, and an adhesive layer is formed on the surface of the easy-adhesion layer (b) facing the surface on the acrylic resin film side. The optical film has shown the optical member joined to the other member through the adhesive layer. In FIG. 3, 1c is an optical film, 5 is an easily adhesive layer (b), 6 is an adhesive layer, and 7 is another member.

  The “surface of the easy adhesion layer (b) facing the surface on the acrylic resin film side” is the surface of the easy adhesion layer (b) that is in close contact with the acrylic resin film. The opposite side.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the optical film of the present invention can be bonded to another member 7 such as a functional film to become an optical member. At this time, the surface of the optical film 1c of the present invention on the side of the easy adhesion layer (b) 5 (the surface opposite to the surface on which the easy adhesion layer (a) is formed) is the easy adhesion layer (b) 5 and It is preferable to be joined to another member through the adhesive layer 6.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the optical film of the present invention may be a polarizing plate adhered to a polarizer 7 through an easy adhesion layer (b) and an adhesive layer 6. That is, the other member 7 may be a polarizer.

  FIG. 4 shows an embodiment of a polarizing plate according to the present invention, in which the optical film is bonded to a polarizer, and the surface of the polarizer facing the optical film is easily bonded to both surfaces of an acrylic resin film. The polarizing plate which joined the optical film on which the layer (b) and the adhesive layer were laminated | stacked is shown. In FIG. 4, 1c and 1d are optical films, 5 is an easily adhesive layer (b), 6 and 9 are adhesive layers, and 8 is a polarizer.

  The optical film of the present invention is suitable for use in an image display device. The image display device is, for example, an electroluminescence (EL) display panel, a plasma display panel (PDP), a field emission display (FED), or an LCD. The LCD has a liquid crystal cell and a polarizing plate disposed on at least one main surface of the liquid crystal cell.

[2. Polarizer〕
The polarizing plate of the present invention will be described. The polarizing plate of the present invention includes the optical film according to the present invention. A pair of polarizing plates is arranged in the LCD so as to sandwich the liquid crystal cell based on the principle of image display. The polarizing plate of the present invention has, for example, a structure in which the optical film (polarizer protective film) of the present invention is laminated on at least one surface of a polarizer via an easy adhesion layer (b).

  Conventionally, a triacetyl cellulose (TAC) film has been used as the polarizer protective film. However, the TAC film does not have sufficient moisture and heat resistance, and when the TAC film is used as a polarizer protective film, the characteristics of the polarizing plate may be deteriorated under a high temperature or high humidity environment. Further, the TAC film has a retardation in the thickness direction, and this retardation adversely affects the viewing angle characteristics of an image display device such as an LCD, particularly a large screen image display device.

  On the other hand, since the optical film of the present invention, which is a polarizer protective film, is composed of an acrylic resin film, it can improve heat and moisture resistance and optical characteristics as compared to a TAC film.

  The polarizing plate is typically produced by laminating an optical film and a polarizer via an adhesive layer (adhesive layer). When the optical film of this invention has an easily bonding layer (b), both are laminated | stacked so that an easily bonding layer (b) may become a polarizer side.

  Specifically, for example, an adhesive composition that becomes an adhesive layer (adhesive layer) after drying is applied to one surface selected from a polarizer or an optical film, and then the two are bonded together and dried. Let

  Examples of the method for applying the adhesive composition include a roll method, a spray method, and a dipping method. When the adhesive composition contains a metal compound colloid, the adhesive composition is applied so that the thickness of the adhesive layer after drying is larger than the average particle diameter of the metal compound colloid particles. The drying temperature is typically 5 to 150 ° C, preferably 30 to 120 ° C. The drying time is typically 120 seconds or longer, preferably 300 seconds or longer.

  The polarizer is not limited, and any appropriate polarizer can be adopted depending on the function required for the polarizing plate. For example, a polarizer is made of a hydrophilic polymer film such as a polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) film, a partially formalized PVA film, or a partially saponified film of an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA). A film uniaxially stretched by adsorbing a dichroic substance such as a reactive dye; a polyene-based oriented film using a dehydrated PVA product or a dehydrochlorinated polyvinyl chloride product. Especially, the film which made the PVA-type film adsorb | suck a dichroic substance and was uniaxially stretched is preferable as a polarizer. This polarizer exhibits a high polarization dichroic ratio. The thickness of the polarizer is not limited and is generally about 1 to 80 μm.

  For example, a polarizer uniaxially stretched by adsorbing iodine to the PVA film is prepared by immersing the PVA film in an aqueous solution containing iodine and uniaxially stretching the film at a stretching ratio of 3 to 7 times. Can do.

  The aqueous solution used for dyeing may contain boric acid, zinc sulfate, zinc chloride and the like as necessary. As an aqueous solution containing iodine, an aqueous solution of iodide such as potassium iodide may be used.

  The PVA film may be immersed in water and washed before dyeing. By washing the PVA-based film with water, dirt, an anti-blocking agent and the like present on the surface of the film can be removed. Furthermore, since the PVA film swells by washing with water, unevenness during dyeing is suppressed. Stretching may be performed before dyeing, after dyeing, or simultaneously with dyeing.

  The adhesive composition that becomes an adhesive layer (adhesive layer) after drying is not limited. The adhesive composition preferably contains a PVA-based resin.

  The PVA resin includes, for example, the following polymers: saponified products of polyvinyl acetate and derivatives thereof; saponified products of copolymers of vinyl acetate and other monomers; acetalization, urethanization, ether of PVA Modified, grafted or phosphate ester modified PVA.

  Examples of the other monomer include unsaturated carboxylic acids such as (anhydrous) maleic acid, fumaric acid, crotonic acid, itaconic acid and (meth) acrylic acid and esters thereof; α-olefins such as ethylene and propylene; Meta) allylsulfonic acid (soda), sulfonic acid soda (monoalkylmalate), disulfonic acid soda alkylmalate, N-methylolacrylamide, acrylamide alkylsulfonic acid alkali salt, N-vinylpyrrolidone, N-vinylpyrrolidone derivative . The PVA resin preferably contains acetoacetyl group-containing PVA. In this case, the adhesion between the polarizer and the optical film (acrylic resin film) is improved, and the durability of the polarizing plate is improved.

  The average degree of polymerization of the PVA-based resin is preferably about 100 to 5000, and more preferably 1000 to 4000, from the viewpoint of adhesiveness of the adhesive composition. The average saponification degree of the PVA-based resin is preferably about 85 to 100 mol%, more preferably 90 to 100 mol%, from the viewpoint of adhesiveness of the adhesive composition.

  The acetoacetyl group-containing PVA can be obtained, for example, by reacting PVA and diketene by an arbitrary method. A specific example is a method of adding diketene to a dispersion in which PVA is dispersed in a solvent such as acetic acid; a method of adding diketene to a solution in which PVA is dissolved in a solvent such as dimethylformamide or dioxane; and diketene gas to PVA. Or it is the method of making liquid diketene contact directly.

  The degree of acetoacetyl group modification in the acetoacetyl group-containing PVA is typically 0.1 mol% or more, preferably 0.1 to 40 mol%, more preferably 1 to 20%, and still more preferably 2 to 2 mol%. 7 mol%. When the degree of modification is less than 0.1 mol%, the effect of modification (for example, improvement in water resistance) may be insufficient. If the degree of modification exceeds 40 mol%, the water resistance is not improved further. The degree of acetoacetyl modification of PVA can be measured by NMR.

  The adhesive composition may contain a crosslinking agent. Although a crosslinking agent is not limited, It is a compound which has at least two functional groups which show the reactivity with respect to PVA-type resin.

  Crosslinking agents include, for example, ethylenediamine, triethylenediamine, hexamethylenediamine and other alkylenediamines having an alkylene group and two amino groups; tolylene diisocyanate, hydrogenated tolylene diisocyanate, trimethylolpropane tolylene diisocyanate adduct, triphenylmethane Isocyanates such as triisocyanate, methylene bis (4-phenylmethane triisocyanate), isophorone diisocyanate, and ketoxime block product or phenol block product thereof; ethylene glycol diglycidyl ether, polyethylene glycol diglycidyl ether, glycerin diglycidyl ether, glycerin Triglycidyl ether, 1,6-hexanediol diglycidyl ether, trime Epoxy such as roll propane triglycidyl ether, diglycidyl aniline, diglycidyl amine; monoaldehyde such as formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, propionaldehyde, butyraldehyde; glyoxal, malondialdehyde, succindialdehyde, glutardialdehyde, maleindialdehyde, phthalate Dialdehydes such as dialdehydes; amino-formaldehyde resins such as methylol urea, methylol melamine, alkylated methylol urea, alkylated methylol melamine, acetoguanamine, condensates of benzoguanamine and formaldehyde; sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium, aluminum, Salts and oxides of monovalent to trivalent metals such as iron and nickel.

  Of these, amino-formaldehyde resin and dialdehyde are preferable as the crosslinking agent. The amino-formaldehyde resin preferably has a methylol group, and methylol melamine is preferred. The dialdehyde is preferably glyoxal.

  The compounding quantity of the crosslinking agent in an adhesive composition can be suitably set according to the kind of PVA-type resin. Typically, it is about 10 to 60 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of the PVA resin, and preferably 20 to 50 parts by weight. In this range, good adhesion can be obtained. When the amount of the crosslinking agent is excessively large, the reaction via the crosslinking agent proceeds in a short time, and thus the adhesive composition tends to gel. For this reason, the pot life (pot life) as an adhesive composition becomes extremely short, and industrial use may become difficult.

  The adhesive composition may contain a metal compound colloid. The metal compound colloid may be a colloid in which particles of a metal compound are dispersed in a dispersion medium. The metal compound colloid can be a permanent colloid due to electrostatic stabilization due to mutual repulsion of the same type of charge that the particles have. By including the metal compound colloid in the adhesive composition, for example, the stability of the adhesive composition is improved even when the amount of the crosslinking agent is large.

  The average particle diameter of the colloidal particles in the metal compound colloid can be set within a range that does not adversely affect the optical characteristics (for example, polarization characteristics) of the polarizing plate. The average particle size of the colloidal particles is preferably 1 to 100 nm, and more preferably 1 to 50 nm. The average particle size and particle size distribution of the colloidal particles can be determined by a laser diffraction / scattering particle size distribution measuring device (for example, Submicron Particle Sizer NICOM 380 manufactured by Particle Sizing Systems).

  In these ranges, the colloidal particles can be uniformly dispersed in the adhesive layer. Thereby, adhesiveness is ensured and occurrence of knick defects is suppressed. When a knick defect occurs, for example, light leakage occurs in an image display device incorporating the polarizing plate.

  The metal compound is not limited, for example, oxides such as alumina, silica, zirconia, and titania; metal salts such as aluminum silicate, calcium carbonate, magnesium silicate, zinc carbonate, barium carbonate, calcium phosphate; celite, talc, clay, It is a mineral such as kaolin. A metal compound colloid having a positive charge is preferred. The metal compound that becomes a positively charged colloid is preferably alumina or titania, and particularly preferably alumina.

  The metal compound colloid is typically a colloidal solution dispersed in a dispersion medium. The dispersion medium is, for example, water or alcohol. The solid content concentration in the colloidal solution is typically about 1 to 50% by weight, and preferably 1 to 30% by weight. The colloidal solution may contain an acid such as nitric acid, hydrochloric acid or acetic acid as a stabilizer.

  The compounding amount of the metal compound colloid in the adhesive composition (in terms of solid content) is preferably 200 parts by weight or less, more preferably 10 to 200 parts by weight, and further preferably 20 to 175 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of the PVA resin. Preferably, 30 to 150 parts by weight are particularly preferable. In these ranges, the occurrence of nick defects is further suppressed while the adhesiveness of the adhesive composition is more reliable.

  The adhesive composition includes a coupling agent such as a silane coupling agent and a titanium coupling agent; various tackifiers; an ultraviolet absorber; an antioxidant; a stabilizer such as a heat stabilizer and a hydrolysis stabilizer. You may go out.

  The adhesive composition is preferably an aqueous solution (resin solution). The concentration of the resin in the aqueous solution is preferably from 0.1 to 15% by weight, and more preferably from 0.5 to 10% by weight, from the viewpoint of the coating property and the standing stability of the composition.

  The viscosity of the aqueous solution is preferably 1 to 50 mPa · s. When the adhesive composition contains a metal compound colloid, even if the viscosity is as low as 1 to 20 mPa · s, generation of nick defects is effectively suppressed.

  2-6 are preferable, as for pH of aqueous solution, 2.5-5 are more preferable, 3-5 are more preferable, and 3.5-4.5 are especially preferable. In general, the surface charge of the metal compound colloid is adjusted by adjusting the pH of the aqueous solution. The surface charge is preferably a positive charge. Due to the positive charge, the occurrence of knick defects is further suppressed. The surface charge of the metal compound colloid can be confirmed, for example, by measuring the zeta potential with a zeta potential measuring device.

  The adhesive composition that is an aqueous solution (resin solution) can be formed by a known method.

[4. Manufacturing method of optical film]
The manufacturing method of the optical film concerning this invention is a process (application | coating process) of apply | coating the easily bonding composition containing water-soluble resin to the main surface (surface) of an acrylic resin film, and forming the coating film of the said composition (application | coating process). And a step of drying the formed coating film to form an easy-adhesion layer (a) containing the water-soluble resin on the surface (drying step).

  The easy-adhesion composition containing a water-soluble resin does not contain a water-soluble resin and a composition containing a water-soluble resin as described in (1-2. Easy-adhesion layer). Even if it mixes with an easily bonding composition and is produced, it may be produced using the kit for forming an easily bonding layer (a). In addition, the water-soluble resin to be contained may be the one described in detail in the section of (1-2. Easy adhesion layer).

  In the method for producing an optical film according to the present invention, an optical film (an optical film of the present invention) composed of an acrylic resin film having an easy-adhesion layer (a) containing the water-soluble resin formed on the main surface (surface). Is formed. The easy adhesion layer (a) contains the resin contained in the easy adhesion composition.

  In the coating step, a coating film of the easy-adhesive composition is formed on at least one main surface (surface) of the acrylic resin film. Typically, the coating film is formed on one main surface (surface) of the acrylic resin film.

  A known method can be applied to the method of applying the easy-adhesion composition containing a water-soluble resin in the application step. Examples of the method include a bar coating method, a roll coating method, a gravure coating method, a rod coating method, a slot orifice coating method, a curtain coating method, and a fountain coating method. The thickness of the coating film formed in the coating process can be appropriately adjusted according to the thickness required when the coating film becomes the easy-adhesion layer (a).

The main surface (surface) to which the easy-adhesion composition containing a water-soluble resin in the acrylic resin film is applied is preferably subjected to surface treatment. The surface treatment is as described above, but corona discharge treatment and plasma treatment are preferred. The conditions for the corona discharge treatment are not limited. Electron irradiation amount of the corona discharge treatment is preferably 50~150W / ^{m 2} / min, 70~100W / ^{m 2} / min is more preferred.

  What is necessary is just to follow a well-known method for a drying process. The drying temperature is typically 50 ° C. or higher, preferably 90 ° C. or higher, and more preferably 110 ° C. or higher. By setting the drying temperature within these ranges, for example, an optical film excellent in color resistance (particularly in an environment of high temperature and high humidity) can be obtained. The upper limit of the drying temperature is preferably 200 ° C. or lower, and more preferably 180 ° C. or lower.

  When producing an optical film that is a stretched film from an unstretched acrylic resin film by the production method of the present invention, and when producing an optical film that is a biaxially stretched film from a uniaxially stretched acrylic resin film, these acrylics are used. It is necessary to stretch the resin film at some point. The acrylic resin film may be stretched before the easy-adhesion layer (a) is formed or after the easy-adhesion layer (a) is formed. Formation of an easily bonding layer (a) and extending | stretching of an acrylic resin film can also be performed simultaneously.

  The acrylic resin film may be stretched according to a known method. Stretching is, for example, uniaxial stretching or biaxial stretching.

  The uniaxial stretching is typically free end uniaxial stretching in which the change in the width direction (TD direction) of the acrylic resin film is free. The fixed end uniaxial stretching which fixed the change of the width direction of the acrylic resin film may be sufficient.

  Biaxial stretching is typically sequential biaxial stretching, but simultaneous biaxial stretching in which longitudinal and transverse stretching are simultaneously performed can also be suitably used. Furthermore, the film roll may be stretched in an oblique direction. In the present specification, stretching in the flow direction (MD direction) of the acrylic resin film is referred to as longitudinal stretching, and stretching in the width direction (TD direction) is referred to as lateral stretching. In the case of a strip-shaped acrylic resin film, the MD direction is the longitudinal direction of the film.

  A known stretching machine can be used for stretching the acrylic resin film. The longitudinal stretching machine is not particularly limited, but an oven stretching machine is preferable.

  The oven vertical stretching machine is generally composed of an oven and transport rolls provided on the inlet side and the outlet side of the oven, respectively. The resin film is stretched in the transport direction by giving a peripheral speed difference between the transport roll on the entrance side of the oven and the transport roll on the exit side.

  The transverse stretching machine is not particularly limited, but a tenter stretching machine is preferable. The tenter stretching machine may be either a grip type or a pin type, but the grip type is preferable because the resin film hardly tears. A grip-type tenter stretching machine is generally composed of a clip traveling device for transverse stretching and an oven. In the clip traveling device, the resin film is conveyed in a state where the lateral end of the resin film is sandwiched between the clips. At this time, the resin rail is stretched laterally by opening the guide rail of the clip traveling device and widening the distance between the left and right two rows of clips. In the grip-type tenter stretching machine, simultaneous biaxial stretching is also possible by providing a clip expansion / contraction function with respect to the transport direction of the resin film. Moreover, the diagonal stretcher | stretcher which carries out the tension | pulling stretching in the conveyance direction of the said film at a different speed on the right and left of the extending direction of the resin film may be used.

  The stretching temperature is preferably in the vicinity of Tg of the acrylic resin constituting the acrylic resin film. Specifically, the range of Tg-30 ° C to Tg + 100 ° C is preferable, and the range of Tg-20 ° C to Tg + 80 ° C is more preferable. When the stretching temperature is lower than Tg-30 ° C, a sufficient stretching ratio may not be ensured. If the stretching temperature exceeds Tg + 100 ° C., the resin constituting the film may flow and stable stretching may not be performed.

  The draw ratio defined by the area ratio is preferably 1.1 to 25 times, more preferably 1.3 to 10 times. When the draw ratio is less than 1.1 times, the optical film characteristics expected by stretching, for example, toughness, may not be realized. On the other hand, when the draw ratio exceeds 25 times, the effect of improving the properties of the optical film is usually not obtained any more.

  The stretching speed is preferably 10 to 20,000% / min, more preferably 100 to 10,000% / min for stretching in one direction. When the stretching speed is less than 10% / min, the time required for stretching the film becomes excessively long, and the production cost of the optical film may increase. If the stretching speed exceeds 20,000% / min, the film may break.

  When forming the easy-adhesion layer (a) and stretching the acrylic resin film at the same time, for example, after the coating process, the acrylic resin film on which the coating film of the easy-adhesive composition is formed may be stretched in a heated atmosphere. . Due to the heat applied to the film for stretching, the coating film of the easy-adhesive composition formed on the surface of the acrylic resin film is dried to form the easy-adhesive layer (a). In addition, since Tg of an acrylic resin film is 100 degreeC or more normally, the extending | stretching temperature mentioned above is a temperature high enough so that an easily bonding layer (a) may be formed from the coating film of an easily bonding composition.

  The acrylic resin film that forms the coating film of the easy-adhesive composition in the coating step may be an unstretched film or a stretched film that has already been stretched. When the acrylic resin film that forms the coating film is a strip-shaped uniaxially stretched film and an optical film that is a biaxially stretched film is manufactured, the direction of uniaxial stretching is the MD direction of the film, and after the coating film is formed The stretching direction is preferably the TD direction. Thereby, an efficient optical film can be manufactured.

  When forming an acrylic resin film by melt extrusion, the process from formation of an acrylic resin film to obtaining an optical film which is a stretched film can be continuously performed. In this case, it is preferable to perform continuously the process of apply | coating an easily bonding composition to the surface of an acrylic resin film, and the process of extending | stretching the acrylic resin film which apply | coated the easily bonding composition in a heating atmosphere. Such an easy-adhesion composition coating step that is continuously performed is referred to as in-line coating.

  When producing an optical film that is a biaxially stretched film by the production method of the present invention, a step of stretching an unstretched film to make an acrylic resin film that is a uniaxially stretched film, an easily adhesive composition on the surface of the acrylic resin film It is particularly preferable to continuously perform the step of coating and the step of stretching the acrylic resin film coated with the easy-adhesive composition in a heated atmosphere.

  Furthermore, when performing surface treatment such as corona discharge treatment and plasma treatment on the acrylic resin film, a step of drawing an unstretched film to make an acrylic resin film that is a uniaxially stretched film, the surface of the acrylic resin film is The process of processing, the process of apply | coating an easily bonding composition to the said surface of the surface-treated acrylic resin film, and the process of extending | stretching the acrylic resin film which apply | coated the easily bonding composition in a heating atmosphere are performed continuously. preferable.

  The production method of the present invention may include any step other than the steps described above as long as the effect of the present invention is obtained. This step is, for example, a step of laminating a further layer (for example, a resin layer) on the formed optical film, or a step of performing post-processing such as coating treatment or surface treatment on the formed optical film.

  The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications are possible within the scope shown in the claims, and embodiments obtained by appropriately combining technical means disclosed in different embodiments. Is also included in the technical scope of the present invention.
