Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve the scratching resistance and antistatic effect of the surface of a thermoplastic substrate on the side to be irradiated with a light beam by providing a protective film consisting of a UV curing resin film and transparent conductive film on said surface. CONSTITUTION:The UV cured film 2 is formed on the surface of the plastic substrate 1 on the side to be irradiated with the light beam by coating the UV curing resin of a polyester acrylate system on said surface and projecting UV rays on the surface to cure the coating. The transparent conductive film 3 consisting of ITO (indium tin oxide) is formed thereon. The transparent conductive film 3 consists of an inorg. conductive compd. such as, for example, ITO and SnO2 or org. conductive compd. and has the antistatic effect on the surface on the side to be irradiated with the light beam. Particularly the transparent conductive film 3 consisting of the inorg. conductive compd. has high hardness and since the UV curing resin film 2 has high hardness, the excellent adhesiveness is obtd. The scratching resistance and antistatic effect of the surface on the side to be irradiated with the light beam are thereby additionally improved.

In such an optical disc, in order to be able to reproduce information signals satisfactorily, it is necessary that the surface of the plastic substrate onto which the light beam is irradiated, that is, the light beam irradiation surface, be uniformly flat and free from dust and the like.

However, in the past, the light beam irradiation surface was exposed, which made it easy for it to be scratched and for dirt to adhere to it. If the light beam irradiation surface is scratched, the light beam irradiated thereon will be reflected diffusely, causing level fluctuations in the reproduced information signal, and if dust or other particles adhere to the surface, the amount of light beam transmitted there will change. This causes level fluctuations in the reproduced information signal.

If dirt or debris adheres to the light beam irradiation surface, it can be wiped off, but since the plastic substrate is relatively soft, the light beam irradiation surface is easily scratched, and the light beam irradiation surface may be charged and dust may accumulate. It will stick more easily.

The ultraviolet curable resin coating 2 is made of an ultraviolet curable resin such as polyester, polyurethane, or epoxy acrylate resin, and has excellent adhesion to a plastic substrate made of thermoplastic resin and has very high hardness. This increases the scratch resistance of the light beam irradiated surface of the substrate 1. In addition, the transparent conductive coating 3
is made of an inorganic conductive compound or an organic conductive compound such as ITO or SnO□, and has an antistatic effect on the surface irradiated with the light beam.

Here, the film thicknesses of the ultraviolet curable resin wave 1ff2 and the transparent conductive film 3 were varied, and the adhesion, scratch resistance, and amount of charge generated in 5000 wiping tests with a plastic cloth were measured for each. As a result, it was found that if the thickness of the ultraviolet curable resin coating 2 is made thinner than 0.5 μm, sufficient scratch resistance cannot be obtained, and if the thickness is 15 μm or more, cracks occur in the ultraviolet curable resin coating 2. Therefore, the thickness of the ultraviolet curable resin coating 2 is 0.5 to 15 μm, preferably 1.0 to 10 μm.
It is necessary to set it to . Furthermore, if the thickness of the inorganic transparent conductive film 3 is made thinner than 0.1 μm, a sufficient antistatic effect cannot be obtained, and if it is thicker than 1.0 μm, the adhesion with the ultraviolet curable resin film 2 may deteriorate. It turns out it's not enough. Therefore, the thickness of the inorganic transparent conductive film 3 needs to be set to 0.1 to 1.0 μm.

The above shows that even if other materials shown above are used for the ultraviolet curable resin coating 2 and the inorganic transparent conductive coating 3, similar results can be obtained, with excellent adhesion, scratch resistance, and antistatic properties. The effect is now possible.

As explained earlier, when forming a transparent conductive film directly on a plastic substrate made of thermoplastic resin, it is difficult to obtain practically sufficient scratch resistance unless the film thickness is 0.5 μm or more. However, in the case of this example, since both the ultraviolet curing resin wave 11!2 and the inorganic transparent conductive coating 3 have high hardness, their synergistic effect causes (
That is, by having sufficiently high adhesion and being completely integrated), even if the thickness of the inorganic transparent conductive film 3 is about 0.1 μm, scratch resistance that does not cause any practical problems can be obtained.

Incidentally, when forming a transparent conductive film of ITO with a thickness of 0.5 μm directly on a plastic substrate made of thermoplastic resin by sputtering, it takes about one hour. On the other hand, in the case of the above embodiment, the ultraviolet curable resin film 2 is formed in about 3 minutes, including the application and curing treatment of the ultraviolet curable resin, almost regardless of the film thickness.
The time required to form the TO transparent conductive film 3 by sputtering is several minutes to several tens of minutes, assuming a film thickness of 0.1 to 1.0 μm; however, if this film thickness is approximately 0.1 μm, a net It is possible to form a film of about 800 mL in about 10 minutes to several minutes. In this way, by reducing the thickness of the inorganic transparent conductive coating 3 within a range that provides a sufficient antistatic effect, the above-mentioned optical discs are improved compared to optical discs in which an inorganic transparent conductive coating is directly provided on a thermoplastic resin plastic substrate. In this embodiment, productivity will be significantly improved.
