The optical film 100 includes a base film 10 and a surface treatment layer 20 formed on one side of the base film 10. The base film 10 is a stretched film containing an acrylic resin. The base film 10 has a dimensional change rate of −2.0% along a predetermined direction when it is cut into 10 cm × 10 cm and left to stand at 100 ° C./120 hours in a state where it is attached to a glass plate via an adhesive material. ~ 0%. The shape of the base film 10 is not particularly limited, but for example, when the base film has an elongated shape or a rectangular shape, the dimensional change rate is typically the longitudinal direction and the lateral direction (longitudinal direction) of the base film.

If the acid value is too high, foaming tends to occur during film molding (for example, during melt extrusion), and the productivity of the molded product tends to decrease. In the acrylic resin, the acid value is the content of the carboxylic acid unit and the carboxylic acid anhydride unit in the acrylic resin.

It is described in. The description of this publication is incorporated herein by reference.

B-4. Formation of Base Film The base film according to the embodiment of the present invention typically contains the above acrylic resin (in the case of using other resins in combination, a blend with the other resins) and core-shell type particles. The composition can be formed by a method comprising forming a film. Further, the method of forming the base film may include stretching the film.

The average particle size of the core-shell type particles used for film formation is preferably 1 nm to 500 nm. The average particle size of the core is preferably 50 nm to 300 nm, more preferably 70 nm to 300 nm.

Any suitable method can be adopted as the method for forming the film. Specific examples include a cast coating method (for example, casting method), an extrusion molding method, an injection molding method, a compression molding method, a transfer molding method, a blow molding method, a powder molding method, an FRP molding method, a calendar molding method, and a hot press. The law is mentioned. An extrusion molding method or a cast coating method is preferable. This is because the smoothness of the obtained film can be enhanced and good optical uniformity can be obtained. A particularly preferable method is an extrusion molding method. This is because it is not necessary to consider the problem caused by the residual solvent. Above all, the extrusion molding method using a T-die is preferable from the viewpoint of film productivity and ease of subsequent stretching treatment. The molding conditions can be appropriately set according to the composition and type of the resin used, the properties desired for the obtained film, and the like.

As the stretching method, any appropriate stretching method and stretching conditions (for example, stretching temperature, stretching ratio, stretching speed, stretching direction) can be adopted. Specific examples of the stretching method include free-end stretching, fixed-end stretching, free-end shrinkage, and fixed-end shrinkage. These may be used alone, simultaneously, or sequentially. By stretching a film in which the blending amount of the core-shell type particles with respect to the acrylic resin is appropriately adjusted under appropriate stretching conditions, the dimensional change rate of the obtained base film can be reduced. As a result, shrinkage in the state where the surface-treated layer is formed can be suppressed, and an optical film having high adhesion between the base film and the surface-treated layer can be obtained.

As the stretching direction, an appropriate direction may be adopted depending on the purpose. Specific examples thereof include a length direction, a width direction, a thickness direction, and an oblique direction. The stretching direction may be one direction (uniaxial stretching), bidirectional stretching (biaxial stretching), or three or more directions. In the embodiment of the present invention, typically, uniaxial stretching in the length direction, simultaneous biaxial stretching in the length direction and width direction, and sequential biaxial stretching in the length direction and width direction can be adopted. Biaxial stretching (simultaneous or sequential) is preferred. This is because it is easy to control the in-plane phase difference and it is easy to realize optical anisotropy.

The stretching temperature is the desired optical properties, mechanical properties and thickness of the base film, the type of resin used, the thickness of the film used, the stretching method (uniaxial stretching or biaxial stretching), the stretching ratio, and the stretching. It may change depending on the speed and the like. Specifically, the stretching temperature is preferably Tg to Tg + 50 ° C, more preferably Tg + 15 ° C to Tg + 50 ° C, and most preferably Tg + 35 ° C to Tg + 50 ° C. By stretching at such a temperature, a base film having appropriate properties can be obtained. The specific stretching temperature is, for example, 110 ° C. to 200 ° C., preferably 120 ° C. to 190 ° C., and more preferably 150 ° C. to 190 ° C. When the stretching temperature is within such a range, it can be obtained by stretching a film in which the blending amount of shell-type particles is appropriately adjusted under appropriate stretching conditions by appropriately adjusting the stretching ratio and the stretching speed. The dimensional change rate of the base film can be reduced. As a result, shrinkage in the state where the surface-treated layer is formed can be suppressed, and an optical film having high adhesion between the base film and the surface-treated layer can be obtained.

The draw ratio is also the same as the draw temperature, optical properties, mechanical properties and thickness, type of resin used, thickness of film used, stretching method (uniaxial stretching or biaxial stretching), stretching temperature, stretching. It may change depending on the speed and the like. When biaxial stretching is adopted, the ratio (TD / MD) of the stretching ratio in the width direction (TD) and the stretching ratio in the length direction (MD) is preferably 1.0 to 1.5, which is more preferable. Is 1.0 to 1.4, more preferably 1.0 to 1.3. Further, when biaxial stretching is adopted, the surface magnification (the product of the stretching magnification in the length direction and the stretching magnification in the width direction) is preferably 2.0 to 6.0, and more preferably 3.0 to 6.0. It is 5.5, more preferably 3.5 to 5.2. When the stretching ratio is in such a range, the dimensional change rate of the obtained base film can be reduced by appropriately adjusting the stretching temperature and the stretching speed. As a result, shrinkage in the state where the surface-treated layer is formed can be suppressed, and an optical film having high adhesion between the base film and the surface-treated layer can be obtained.

The stretching speed, as well as the stretching temperature, is also the optical properties, mechanical properties and thickness, the type of resin used, the thickness of the film used, the stretching method (uniaxial stretching or biaxial stretching), stretching temperature, stretching. It may change depending on the magnification and the like. The stretching speed is preferably 3% / sec to 20% / sec, more preferably 3% / sec to 15% / sec, and even more preferably 3% / sec to 10% / sec. When biaxial stretching is adopted, the stretching speed in one direction and the stretching speed in the other direction may be the same or different. When the stretching speed is in such a range, the dimensional change rate of the obtained base film can be reduced by appropriately adjusting the stretching temperature and the stretching ratio. As a result, shrinkage in the state where the surface-treated layer is formed can be suppressed, and an optical film having high adhesion between the base film and the surface-treated layer can be obtained.

As described above, the base film can be formed.

C. Surface-treated layer The surface-treated layer is any suitable functional layer formed on one side of the base film according to the function required for the optical film. Specific examples of the surface treatment layer include a hard coat layer, an antiglare layer, an antireflection layer and the like. The thickness of the surface treatment layer is preferably 3 μm to 20 μm, more preferably 5 μm to 15 μm.

The surface treatment layer is typically a cured layer of the resin composition formed on the base film. The steps of forming the surface treatment layer are to apply the resin composition for forming the surface treatment layer on the base film to form the coating layer, and to dry and cure the coating layer to obtain the surface treatment layer. May include. Drying and curing the coating layer may include heating the coating layer.

Any suitable method can be adopted as the method for applying the resin composition. For example, a bar coat method, a roll coat method, a gravure coat method, a rod coat method, a slot orifice coat method, a curtain coat method, a fountain coat method, and a comma coat method can be mentioned. From the viewpoint of facilitating application, the resin composition preferably contains a solvent for dilution.

The heating temperature of the coating layer can be set to an arbitrary appropriate temperature depending on the composition of the resin composition, and is preferably set to be equal to or lower than the glass transition temperature of the acrylic resin contained in the base film. By heating at a temperature equal to or lower than the glass transition temperature of the acrylic resin contained in the base film, an optical film in which deformation due to heating is suppressed can be obtained. The heating temperature of the coating layer is, for example, 50 ° C to 140 ° C, preferably 60 ° C to 100 ° C. By heating at such a heating temperature, an optical film having excellent adhesion between the base film and the surface treatment layer can be obtained.

C-1. Hardcoat layer The hardcoat layer is a layer that imparts scratch resistance, chemical resistance, and the like to the surface of the base film. The hard coat layer has a hardness of preferably H or higher, more preferably 3H or higher in the pencil hardness test. The pencil hardness test can be measured according to JIS K 5400. The resin composition for forming a hard coat layer may contain, for example, a curable compound that can be cured by heat, light (ultraviolet rays, etc.), an electron beam, or the like.

The resin composition for forming the antiglare layer may contain, for example, a curable compound that can be cured by heat, light (ultraviolet rays, etc.), an electron beam, or the like. The antiglare layer typically has a fine uneven shape on the surface. Examples of the method for forming such a fine uneven shape include a method in which fine particles are contained in the curable compound. Details of the antiglare layer and the resin composition for forming the antiglare layer are described in, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2017-32711. The entire description of the publication is incorporated herein by reference.

C-3. Antireflection layer The antireflection layer is a layer for preventing the reflection of external light. The resin composition for forming the antireflection layer may contain, for example, a curable compound that can be cured by heat, light (ultraviolet rays, etc.), an electron beam, or the like. The antireflection layer may be a single layer composed of only one layer, or may be a plurality of layers composed of two or more layers. Details of the antireflection layer and the resin composition for forming the antireflection layer are described in, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2012-155050.

Typically, the polarizing plate has a polarizing element and an optical film of the present invention arranged on one side of the polarizing element. The base film side of the optical film is bonded to the polarizing element, and can function as a protective layer for the polarizing element.

As the polarizing element, any suitable polarizing element may be adopted. For example, the resin film forming the polarizing element may be a single-layer resin film or a laminated body having two or more layers.

Specific examples of the polarizing element composed of a single-layer resin film include a hydrophilic polymer film such as a polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) -based film, a partially formalized PVA-based film, and an ethylene / vinyl acetate copolymer-based partially saponified film. Examples thereof include those which have been dyed and stretched with a bicolor substance such as iodine and a bicolor dye, and polyene-based oriented films such as a dehydrated product of PVA and a dehydrogenated product of polyvinyl chloride. Preferably, since the PVA-based film is excellent in optical properties, a polarizing element obtained by dyeing a PVA-based film with iodine and uniaxially stretching it is used.

The dyeing with iodine is performed, for example, by immersing a PVA-based film in an aqueous iodine solution. The draw ratio of the uniaxial stretching is preferably 3 to 7 times. The stretching may be performed after the dyeing treatment or may be performed while dyeing. Further, it may be dyed after being stretched. If necessary, the PVA-based film is subjected to a swelling treatment, a crosslinking treatment, a cleaning treatment, a drying treatment and the like. For example, by immersing the PVA-based film in water and washing it with water before dyeing, it is possible not only to clean the dirt and blocking inhibitor on the surface of the PVA-based film, but also to swell the PVA-based film to prevent uneven dyeing. Can be prevented.

Specific examples of the polarizing element obtained by using the laminate include a laminate of a resin base material and a PVA-based resin layer (PVA-based resin film) laminated on the resin base material, or a resin base material and the resin. Examples thereof include a polarizing element obtained by using a laminate with a PVA-based resin layer coated and formed on a base material. The polarizing element obtained by using the laminate of the resin base material and the PVA-based resin layer coated and formed on the resin base material is, for example, a resin base material obtained by applying a PVA-based resin solution to the resin base material and drying it. It is produced by forming a PVA-based resin layer on the PVA-based resin layer to obtain a laminate of a resin base material and a PVA-based resin layer; and stretching and dyeing the laminate to make the PVA-based resin layer a stator. obtain. In the present embodiment, stretching typically includes immersing the laminate in an aqueous boric acid solution for stretching. Further, stretching may further comprise, if necessary, stretching the laminate in the air at a high temperature (eg, 95 ° C. or higher) prior to stretching in boric acid aqueous solution. The obtained resin base material / polarizing element laminate may be used as it is (that is, the resin base material may be used as a protective layer for the polarizing element), and the resin base material is peeled off from the resin base material / polarizing element laminate. Then, an arbitrary appropriate protective layer according to the purpose may be laminated on the peeled surface and used. Details of the method for producing such a polarizing element are described in, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2012-73580. The entire description of the publication is incorporated herein by reference.
