The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a light-diffusing methacrylic resin molded product suitable for use in members for the purpose of light diffusion, such as glazing or transmission screens.

4号公報、特公昭55−7471号公報参照)。In this case, the transparent synthetic resin used is methacrylic resin, styrene resin, or vinyl chloride resin.In order to obtain light diffusivity, resins with a refractive index different from that of the transparent synthetic resin of the base material, such as barium sulfate or carbonate, are used. Mixing inorganic transparent fine particles such as quartz, etc. with an average particle size of 10μ or less,
The method is obtained by applying a binder to the surface of these transparent synthetic resins (JP-A-54-155241, JP-B-46-43189, Utility Model Publication No. 29-744).
(See Publication No. 0). It is also known that instead of the above-mentioned fine particles, polymer beads made by copolymerizing styrene or substituted styrene with a polyfunctional monomer are mixed (

している。しかしながら近年は省エネルギーという要請
から、照明カバーやデイスプレィ等については、いかに
光を有効に利用するかが肝要に々っている。The resins disclosed in these prior art techniques are intended to improve diffusibility, and have exhibited corresponding effects. However, in recent years, due to the demand for energy conservation, it has become important to effectively utilize light in lighting covers, displays, and the like.

ズのよう々規則的な形状全付与するととにある。By the way, if the light emitted from the light source is constant, one of the desirable properties of a light diffusing material is to diffuse the light in the required direction without absorbing as much light as possible, that is, to perform directional diffusion. It is one. When a unidirectionally directional diffusive material is incorporated into a lighting cover, display, or other device, a shape suitable for the device is required. This shape includes a shape that surrounds a light source, a flat plate shape, and a regular shape such as a lenticular lens or a Fresnel lens with fine irregularities on the surface.

Even if it was directional, it had the flaw that the light source could be seen through it.
本発明はかかる従来技術の欠陥を改善した光拡散性成形

である。Until now, there has been a method of blending cross-linked polymer beads with a base material to make a light-diffusing resin, for example, in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 61-15944.
This is shown in Publication No. 0, etc. However, in this case, the crosslinked polymer beads are simply blended with the base resin and molded by extrusion molding or injection molding, and if you want to obtain a degree of diffusivity that does not cause see-through, the light transmittance is known to be significantly reduced. The cause is the problem of the interface between the cross-linked polymer beads and the base resin, and as in the present invention, the cross-linked polymer beads are swollen with a polymerizable monomer, this is polymerized to obtain a light-diffusing polymer, and other materials are added as necessary. By blending and molding the resin with the following resin, we have established a method for producing a light-diffusing methacrylic resin that is transparent even though it has a high light transmittance that could not be obtained conventionally.
以下、本発明をさらに詳細に説明する。The present invention will be explained in more detail below.

In addition, when the maximum bending angle (β value) is set and the parallel light incident perpendicularly to the light diffusing material is viewed from the transmission side,
When the maximum gain on the incident optical axis is defined as the angle between the optical axis and the optical axis required for the gain to decrease by 1/3 ()o4, this is used for boat fishing.

成形物を提供しようとするものである。The inventors of the present invention investigated light diffusing materials that can provide directivity and found the following facts. In other words, ■ As long as the light source etc. cannot be seen through, the maximum bending angle (β
Conventional light diffusing materials generally have a maximum bending angle (β value) of 20° or more. be. However, if the concentration of the light diffusing agent is lowered (that is, the light diffusing property is lowered) and the maximum bending angle (β value) is set to 10' or less, the light source will be visible through it, making it a limited material as a light diffusing material. , the present invention has a maximum bending angle (β value) of 100
Even if the light source is below, it is not possible to see through it, or even if it is, it can be seen through by providing a finely uneven surface or a lens surface such as a Fresnel lens or lenticular lens on the surface. The purpose is to provide a molded product with excellent light diffusing properties.

えると、同一最大輝度で比較した場合、曲げ角の大きい
拡散光の割合が小さくなりすぎるため好ましくな因。The composition and blending ratio of the cross-linked polymer beads and the light-diffusing polymer beads are first set so that the difference between the refractive index of the base polymer and the refractive index of the cross-linked polymer beads is 002 to α15, and then the degree of swelling of the cross-linked polymer beads is determined. is 120-1
500 (calculated as (volume after swelling/volume before swelling) x 100). At this time, the degree of swelling is 1
If it is less than 20mm, the maximum brightness that does not cause transmission is too low and too bright, which is not desirable.On the other hand, if it exceeds 1500%, when comparing at the same maximum brightness, it is not preferable to use diffused light with a large bending angle. This is an unfavorable factor because the ratio becomes too small.

好ましくない。It should be noted that if a large amount of crosslinked polymer beads having a particle size of less than 1 μm is included, it is more desirable that the transmitted light has a yellowish color due to selective scattering of short wavelength light. On the other hand, if a large number of particles with a diameter of 5 mm thicker than 30 μm are included, this is not desirable because it causes glare in transmitted light. Therefore, the average particle size of the crosslinked polymer beads is 1 to 16μ, more preferably an average particle size of 6μ.
~12μ is good. The weight concentration of Ushida multifunctional upper part is 5~
20% is good, but if it exceeds a factor of 20, the maximum gain of light diffusion performance that does not cause see-through will be low, which is bad. This is not preferable because the proportion of diffused light with large angles becomes too small.

。The weight concentration of the crosslinked polymer beads in the light-diffusing methacrylic resin depends on the thickness in the light transmission direction and the desired diffusivity and directivity of the transmitted light, but is required to be 0.08 to 10.
