Description
本発明は、照明デバイスやディスプレイデバイスにおいて光利用効率を向上させるために、有機化合物と無機化合物をベースにした液剤を有機基材に塗布して透過率を向上させる方法と、有機基材の透過率を向上させる被覆膜に関するものである。 The present invention relates to a method of applying a liquid agent based on an organic compound and an inorganic compound to an organic substrate to improve the light transmission efficiency in order to improve the light utilization efficiency in a lighting device or a display device; It relates to a coating which improves the rate.
近年、照明デバイスやディスプレイデバイスにおいては、消費電力を削減することが大きな課題である。低消費電力化の有効な手段として、照明デバイスやディスプレイデバイスを構成する透明部材や半透明部材の防汚性と透過率を高めることが有効である。
特に、照明デバイスでは、アクリル樹脂、ポリカーボネイト樹脂、ポリエステル樹脂など耐有機溶媒性が低い有機基材が、透明部材や半透明部材に用いられる。In recent years, reducing power consumption has been a major issue in lighting devices and display devices. As an effective means for reducing power consumption, it is effective to increase the stain resistance and transmittance of transparent members and semitransparent members constituting illumination devices and display devices.
In particular, in a lighting device, an organic substrate having low resistance to organic solvents, such as acrylic resin, polycarbonate resin, and polyester resin, is used as a transparent member or a semitransparent member.
従来は、有機基材に被覆液を塗布する前にプライマーを塗布してプライマー層を形成させた後、プライマー層の上に被覆液を塗布するやり方が一般的であるが、被覆液が有機基材を直接的に被覆しておらず、有機基材と被覆液の密着強度が低いといった問題がある。
プライマー層の形成を必要とすることなく、有機基材に対する密着性を高め、防汚性を高める有機基材用防汚剤として、メタノール又はエタノールと、イソプロピルアルコール、ノルマルプロピルアルコール又はグリコールエーテルと、テトラヒドロフランと、ホウ酸を含有する防汚剤が知られている（特許文献１を参照）。
特許文献１に開示された防汚剤は、アルコールベースの透明液体であり、常温乾燥後、無色透明な無機硬化塗膜を形成する。そして、アルコールが有機基材の表面に接触することにより、基材の最表面で膨潤、一部溶解が生じて、基材にシリカが潜り込み、基材表面に密着性のよい親水性被膜を形成する（特許文献１の図１を参照）。しかし特許文献１には、防汚性と密着性について開示があるものの、透過率については言及されていない。Conventionally, it is common to apply the coating solution on the primer layer after applying the primer to form the primer layer before applying the coating solution to the organic substrate, but the coating solution is an organic group. There is a problem that the material is not directly coated, and the adhesion strength between the organic substrate and the coating liquid is low.
Methanol or ethanol and isopropyl alcohol, normal propyl alcohol or glycol ether as an antifouling agent for an organic substrate which enhances adhesion to an organic substrate and enhances antifouling properties without requiring formation of a primer layer, An antifouling agent containing tetrahydrofuran and boric acid is known (see Patent Document 1).
The antifouling agent disclosed in Patent Document 1 is an alcohol-based transparent liquid, and after drying at normal temperature, forms a colorless and transparent inorganic cured coating. Then, when the alcohol comes in contact with the surface of the organic substrate, swelling and partial dissolution occur on the outermost surface of the substrate, and the silica sinks into the substrate to form a hydrophilic film having good adhesion on the substrate surface. (See FIG. 1 of Patent Document 1). However, Patent Document 1 discloses antifouling properties and adhesion but does not mention transmittance.
また、水を含むアルカリ性コロイダルシリカと、リン酸ナトリウム化合物或いはリン酸カリウム化合物の単体又は混合物と、ホウ酸を含む水性無機コート剤が知られている（特許文献２を参照）。
かかる水性無機コート剤をガラスに塗布すれば、透明度が２〜３％に向上するとされている。しかしながら、特許文献２では、ガラスのような無機基材への適用についてのみ開示されており、有機基材については開示されていない。There is also known an aqueous inorganic coating agent containing boric acid and a single substance or a mixture of alkaline colloidal silica containing water, a sodium phosphate compound or a potassium phosphate compound (see Patent Document 2).
It is said that when the aqueous inorganic coating agent is applied to glass, the transparency is improved to 2 to 3%. However, Patent Document 2 discloses only the application to an inorganic substrate such as glass, and does not disclose an organic substrate.
また、水に四塩化チタンを混合すると共に、この混合溶液にリン酸と水酸化マグネシウムを混合して得られる混合液の沈殿物を沈殿させた上澄み液を、リン酸と、チタン酸と、マグネシウムの陽イオンとを含む被膜形成液とし、この被膜形成液を成膜して得られた防曇性アモルファス被膜が知られている（特許文献３を参照）。かかる防曇性アモルファス被膜には、低反射効果がある（反射率が向上する）とされているが、透過率はガラスと比較して１％以下とされている。 Moreover, while mixing titanium tetrachloride with water and mixing phosphoric acid and magnesium hydroxide with this mixed solution, the supernatant liquid on which the precipitate of the liquid mixture obtained was precipitated, phosphoric acid, titanic acid, magnesium The antifogging amorphous film obtained by film-forming this film-forming liquid as the film-forming liquid containing the cation of (A) is known (refer patent document 3). The antifogging amorphous film is considered to have a low reflection effect (reflectance is improved), but the transmittance is 1% or less as compared to glass.
このように、上記特許文献１では乾燥後に形成した微細な表面構造により防汚性の向上が期待できると記載されているが、有機基材に対して透過率が向上するか不明である。
上記特許文献２では、ガラスのような無機基材への適用についてのみ記載されており、有機基材については開示されておらず、有機基材に対して透過率が向上するか不明である。
上記特許文献３では、アモルファス被膜が形成されることにより低反射効果があると記載されているが、透過率がガラスと比較して１％以下であるので、その効果は小さい。Thus, although it is described in the said patent document 1 that an antifouling property improvement can be anticipated by the fine surface structure formed after drying, it is unclear whether the transmittance | permeability improves with respect to an organic base material.
Patent Document 2 only describes the application to an inorganic base such as glass, and does not disclose the organic base, and it is unclear whether the transmittance improves with respect to the organic base.
Although the patent document 3 describes that a low reflection effect is obtained by forming an amorphous film, the effect is small because the transmittance is 1% or less compared to glass.
かかる状況に鑑みて、本発明は、有機基材表面にプライマー層を形成することなく、直接に被覆膜を形成させて、有機基材の透過率を向上させる方法と、透過率を向上させる被覆膜を提供することを目的とする。 In view of such a situation, the present invention directly forms a coating film without forming a primer layer on the surface of an organic substrate to improve the transmittance of the organic substrate, and improves the transmittance. It aims at providing a coating film.
上記課題を解決すべく、本発明の有機基材の透過率向上方法は、透明乃至半透明の有機基材の透過率を向上する方法であって、有機基材に被覆液を塗布し乾燥させるステップと、被覆液の塗布膜を所定の乾燥膜厚に形成させるステップを備える。被覆液は二酸化ケイ素を含む無機化合物と有機化合物とアルコールおよび水より構成されたものである。有機基材の少なくとも片面に塗布して形成された乾燥膜は、二酸化ケイ素微粒子の集合体により構成された膜であり、空気の微小な空間が存在し、乾燥膜厚が４５〜２００ｎｍの範囲である。被覆液の塗布後の透過率が塗布前の透過率と比べて１．５％以上高くすることができる。乾燥膜厚は７０〜１８０ｎｍの範囲であることがより好ましく、被覆液の塗布後の透過率が塗布前の透過率と比べて２．５％以上高くすることができる。乾燥膜厚は８５〜１６５ｎｍの範囲であることが更に好ましく、被覆液の塗布後の透過率が塗布前の透過率と比べて３％以上高くすることができる。乾燥膜厚は１１０〜１５０ｎｍの範囲であることが更に好ましく、被覆液の塗布後の透過率が塗布前の透過率と比べて３．５％以上高くすることができる。乾燥膜厚は１２０〜１４０ｎｍで透過率向上率がピークとなる。 In order to solve the above problems, the method of improving the transmittance of an organic substrate according to the present invention is a method of improving the transmittance of a transparent to semitransparent organic substrate, wherein a coating liquid is applied to the organic substrate and dried. And a step of forming a coating film of the coating liquid to a predetermined dry film thickness. The coating liquid is composed of an inorganic compound containing silicon dioxide, an organic compound, an alcohol and water. The dried film formed by coating on at least one side of the organic substrate is a film composed of an aggregate of silicon dioxide fine particles, and a minute space of air exists, and the dry film thickness is in the range of 45 to 200 nm. is there. The transmittance after application of the coating liquid can be increased by 1.5% or more compared to the transmittance before application. The dry film thickness is more preferably in the range of 70 to 180 nm, and the transmittance after application of the coating liquid can be increased by 2.5% or more as compared with the transmittance before application. The dry film thickness is more preferably in the range of 85 to 165 nm, and the transmittance after application of the coating liquid can be increased by 3% or more as compared with the transmittance before application. The dry film thickness is more preferably in the range of 110 to 150 nm, and the transmittance after application of the coating solution can be increased by 3.5% or more compared to the transmittance before application. The dry film thickness is 120 to 140 nm, and the transmittance improvement rate peaks.
本発明の透過率向上方法を用いることにより、照明デバイス等の光利用効率を向上させ、それらのデバイスの低消費電力化が図ることが可能になる。
被覆液には二酸化ケイ素微粒子が混合、分散されているので、アルコールなどの溶剤が蒸発することにより、有機基材の表面には二酸化ケイ素微粒子が固化した薄膜層が形成される。薄膜層は二酸化ケイ素微粒子の微小な塊が有機基材の表面に薄く形成されたものであり、二酸化ケイ素微粒子間には微小な空間が生じる。この微小な空間は、屈折率が１．０の空気の空間である。二酸化ケイ素の屈折率は波長５５０ｎｍのところでは、１．４５〜１．５５であるので、二酸化ケイ素微粒子の中に空気の空間がどれだけ存在するかで薄膜層の屈折率が決まる。このように二酸化ケイ素微粒子間に空気の微小な空間が存在することにより、薄膜層の屈折率を下げることができる。By using the transmittance improving method of the present invention, it is possible to improve the light utilization efficiency of a lighting device or the like and to reduce the power consumption of these devices.
Since silicon dioxide fine particles are mixed and dispersed in the coating liquid, a solvent such as alcohol is evaporated to form a thin film layer in which the silicon dioxide fine particles are solidified on the surface of the organic substrate. The thin film layer is a thin mass of fine particles of silicon dioxide particles formed thinly on the surface of the organic substrate, and a minute space is generated between the silicon dioxide particles. This minute space is a space of air having a refractive index of 1.0. Since the refractive index of silicon dioxide is 1.45 to 1.55 at a wavelength of 550 nm, the refractive index of the thin film layer is determined by how much air space exists in the silicon dioxide fine particles. Thus, the presence of minute air spaces between the silicon dioxide particles can lower the refractive index of the thin film layer.
通常、二酸化ケイ素微粒子が固化して薄膜を形成する場合の屈折率は１．３０〜１．３３ぐらいである。しかし薄膜層の屈折率を低くしても、薄膜層の膜厚を可視光の波長に対してうまく設定しないと可視光の光干渉効果による透過率を向上させることができない。
本発明では、被膜液を塗布して形成した薄膜層の膜厚と透過率向上率の関係を明らかにして、最適な膜厚を見出すことにより大きな透過率向上率が実現できる有機基材への透過率向上方法を提供している。この有機基材の透過率向上方法を用いることにより、照明デバイス等の光利用効率を向上させ、それらのデバイスの低消費電力化が図ることができる。In general, when silicon dioxide fine particles are solidified to form a thin film, the refractive index is approximately 1.30 to 1.33. However, even if the refractive index of the thin film layer is lowered, the transmittance due to the optical interference effect of visible light can not be improved unless the film thickness of the thin film layer is set well with respect to the wavelength of visible light.
In the present invention, the relationship between the film thickness of the thin film layer formed by applying the coating liquid and the transmittance improvement rate is clarified, and by finding the optimum film thickness, a large transmittance improvement rate can be realized. Provides a method to improve the transmittance. By using the method of improving the transmittance of the organic base material, it is possible to improve the light utilization efficiency of a lighting device or the like and to reduce the power consumption of these devices.
また、本発明の有機基材の透過率向上方法において、有機基材の両面に塗布して形成される２つの乾燥膜は、共に二酸化ケイ素微粒子の集合体により構成された膜であり、それぞれの面の乾燥膜厚を加算して平均化した膜厚が５０〜２００ｎｍの範囲であれば、被覆液の塗布後の透過率が塗布前の透過率と比べて３％以上高くすることができる。乾燥膜厚は７５〜１８５ｎｍの範囲であることがより好ましく、被覆液の塗布後の透過率が塗布前の透過率と比べて５％以上高くすることができる。乾燥膜厚は９０〜１７０ｎｍの範囲であることが更に好ましく、被覆液の塗布後の透過率が塗布前の透過率と比べて６％以上高くすることができる。乾燥膜厚は１１０〜１５０ｎｍの範囲であることが更に好ましく、被覆液の塗布後の透過率が塗布前の透過率と比べて７％以上高くすることができる。乾燥膜厚は１２０〜１４０ｎｍで透過率向上率がピークとなる。
透過率の向上メカニズムは有機基材の片面のものと同様であり、有機基材の両面に被膜液を塗布して得られる二酸化ケイ素微粒子の集合体により構成される膜の効果は、片面に塗布したものより概ね２倍の透過率向上率が得られる。Furthermore, in the method for improving the transmittance of an organic substrate according to the present invention, the two dried films formed by coating on both surfaces of the organic substrate are both films each composed of an aggregate of silicon dioxide fine particles. If the film thickness averaged by adding the dry film thickness of the surface is in the range of 50 to 200 nm, the transmittance after application of the coating liquid can be increased by 3% or more compared to the transmittance before application. The dry film thickness is more preferably in the range of 75 to 185 nm, and the transmittance after application of the coating solution can be increased by 5% or more compared to the transmittance before application. The dry film thickness is more preferably in the range of 90 to 170 nm, and the transmittance after application of the coating solution can be increased by 6% or more compared to the transmittance before application. The dry film thickness is more preferably in the range of 110 to 150 nm, and the transmittance after application of the coating solution can be 7% or more higher than the transmittance before application. The dry film thickness is 120 to 140 nm, and the transmittance improvement rate peaks.
The improvement mechanism of the transmittance is the same as that of the one side of the organic substrate, and the effect of the film composed of the silicon dioxide fine particle aggregate obtained by applying the coating liquid on both sides of the organic substrate is coated on one side The transmittance improvement rate is approximately twice that of the ones described above.
ここで使用する有機基材は、好適には、ポリカーボネイト樹脂、アクリル樹脂及びポリエステル樹脂である。また、本発明における被覆液は、基材表面に塗布するために予めプライマーを設けることが必要であった有機基材に直接適用することができるが、従来の如く、プライマー層を形成させた後に、塗布しても構わない。また結晶性フィルムあるいは非晶性フィルムに関わらずＣＯＰ（シクロオレフィンポリマー）シート、ＰＰ（ポリプロピレン）シートなどの有機基材は密着性に欠けるので、これらの有機基材を使用する場合は、プラズマ処理、ＵＶ処理、コロナ処理、イトロ処理等の表面活性処理をおこなっても構わない。
被覆液の乾燥は、常温で行ってもよく、アルコールを除去し乾燥させて、有機基材の表面に被覆膜を形成させる。また、半透明とは、完全な透明ではないが、下にある物を完全に隠蔽しない程度の透過性を有する状態をいう。The organic substrate used here is preferably polycarbonate resin, acrylic resin and polyester resin. In addition, the coating liquid in the present invention can be directly applied to the organic substrate which had to be provided with a primer in advance for applying to the substrate surface, but after forming the primer layer as in the prior art , May be applied. In addition, since organic substrates such as COP (cycloolefin polymer) sheet and PP (polypropylene) sheet lack adhesiveness regardless of crystalline films or amorphous films, when using these organic substrates, plasma treatment is performed And surface treatment such as UV treatment, corona treatment, and intro treatment.
The coating solution may be dried at normal temperature, and the alcohol is removed and dried to form a coating film on the surface of the organic substrate. The term "translucent" refers to a state which is not completely transparent but has a degree of transparency which does not completely conceal the underlying object.
有機基材の片面に塗布して得られる乾燥膜厚が４５ｎｍ〜２００ｎｍの範囲であることが好ましい理由は、乾燥膜厚が４５ｎｍより薄い場合には、有機基材の表面で反射した反射光の位相と、乾燥薄膜の表面で反射する反射光の位相があわず、反射光を打ち消す効果が薄くなり、その結果、透過率の向上が低下するからである。また、乾燥膜厚が２００ｎｍ以上になると、同様に有機基材の表面で反射した反射光の位相と、乾燥薄膜の表面で反射する反射光の位相が合わなくなって、その結果、透過率の向上が低下するからである。
有機基材の両面に塗布して得られる乾燥膜厚が５０ｎｍ〜２００ｎｍの範囲であることが好ましい理由も片面の場合と同じである。The reason why the dry film thickness obtained by coating on one side of the organic substrate is preferably in the range of 45 nm to 200 nm is that, when the dry film thickness is thinner than 45 nm, the reflected light reflected on the surface of the organic substrate is This is because the phase and the phase of the reflected light reflected on the surface of the dry thin film do not change, and the effect of canceling the reflected light becomes thin, as a result, the improvement of the transmittance decreases. Also, when the dry film thickness is 200 nm or more, the phase of the reflected light similarly reflected on the surface of the organic substrate and the phase of the reflected light reflected on the surface of the dried thin film do not match, and as a result, the transmittance is improved. Because the
The reason why the dry film thickness obtained by coating on both sides of the organic substrate is preferably in the range of 50 nm to 200 nm is also the same as in the case of one side.

以下、本発明の実施形態の一例を、図面を参照しながら詳細に説明していく。なお、本発明の範囲は、以下の実施例や図示例に限定されるものではなく、幾多の変更及び変形が可能である。 Hereinafter, an example of an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. In addition, the scope of the present invention is not limited to the following examples and illustrated examples, and many modifications and variations are possible.
有機基材への被覆液の塗布は、図５に示す有機基材への被覆処理フローのように、先ず、有機基材の表面を工業用アルコールで脱脂洗浄し十分乾燥させた後（ステップＳ０１）、スピンコーターを用いて被覆液を塗布する（ステップＳ０２）。次に、被覆液を塗布した有機基材を恒温槽で乾燥させる（ステップＳ０３）。
以下の実施例では、透明の有機基材として、透明ポリカーボネイトシート（出光興産製、品名：ＬＣ１５００）を用いた。スピンコーターは、ミカサ株式会社製（品名：Ｏｐｔｉｃｏａｔ ＭＳ−Ａ１５０）を用い、所定の回転数で一定時間保持するやり方で塗布を行った。
なお、スピンコーターを用いて有機基材に被覆液を塗布する他に、膜厚が均一に塗布できれば、ディップコート、バーコート、フローコート、スプレーコート、インクジェット、パッド印刷、刷毛塗りなどの塗布方法を用いてもよい。The coating solution is applied to the organic substrate in such a manner that the surface of the organic substrate is first degreased and washed with industrial alcohol and sufficiently dried as in the flow of coating treatment on the organic substrate shown in FIG. 5 (step S01 And coating the coating solution using a spin coater (step S02). Next, the organic substrate coated with the coating solution is dried in a thermostat (step S03).
In the following examples, a transparent polycarbonate sheet (made by Idemitsu Kosan, product name: LC1500) was used as a transparent organic substrate. The spin coater was manufactured by Micasa Co., Ltd. (product name: Opticoat MS-A150), and application was performed in such a manner as to hold for a fixed time at a predetermined rotation speed.
In addition to coating the coating solution on the organic substrate using a spin coater, if the film thickness can be uniformly coated, coating methods such as dip coating, bar coating, flow coating, spray coating, inkjet, pad printing, brush coating, etc. May be used.
実施例１では、有機基材として、厚さ５ｍｍの透明ポリカーボネイトシートを用い、下記表１の被覆液をシート片面に塗布した。 In Example 1, the coating liquid of the following Table 1 was apply | coated to the sheet | seat single side, using a transparent polycarbonate sheet with a thickness of 5 mm as an organic base material.
スピンコーターの回転数と乾燥膜厚の関係をみるために、スピンコーターの回転数を１０００ｒｐｍ、１５００ｒｐｍ、２０００ｒｐｍ、３０００ｒｐｍ、４０００ｒｐｍの５種類を選定した。回転数はそれぞれ７秒かけて所定の回転数にして、所定の回転数で２５秒間保持し、４秒かけて停止させて有機基材表面に被覆液を塗布した。
被覆液を塗布した有機基材は、恒温槽に入れて、６０℃、１分間の環境で乾燥させた。
図１は、スピンコーターの回転数と乾燥膜厚の関係を示したグラフである。図１に示すように、乾燥膜厚は、回転数１０００〜４０００ｒｐｍに対応しており、５０〜２００ｎｍのものが得られた。In order to examine the relationship between the rotation speed of the spin coater and the dry film thickness, five types of rotation speeds of the spin coater, 1000 rpm, 1500 rpm, 2000 rpm, 3000 rpm, and 4000 rpm, were selected. The number of rotations was set to a predetermined number of rotations for 7 seconds, held for 25 seconds at the predetermined number of rotations, and stopped for 4 seconds to apply the coating liquid to the surface of the organic substrate.
The organic substrate coated with the coating solution was placed in a thermostat and dried at 60 ° C. for 1 minute in an environment.
FIG. 1 is a graph showing the relationship between the rotation speed of the spin coater and the dry film thickness. As shown in FIG. 1, the dry film thickness corresponded to rotation numbers 1000-4000 rpm, and the thing of 50-200 nm was obtained.
図２は、乾燥膜厚と透過率向上率の関係を示したグラフである。図２に示すようにブランクの有機基材（塗布液を塗布していない素板）の透過率が９０％であるのに対し、本実施例の被覆液の乾燥膜厚が４５〜２００ｎｍにおいて透過率が９１．５％以上でとなっている。このように乾燥膜厚が４５〜２００ｎｍの範囲では、本実施例の被覆液を塗布することによって透過率が１．５％以上増加することが判り、乾燥膜厚が１２０〜１４０ｎｍで透過率向上率がピークを持つ特性を有している。この図より乾燥膜厚が１１０〜１５０ｎｍの範囲では、透過率向上率が３．５％以上、乾燥膜厚が８５〜１６５ｎｍの範囲では、透過率向上率が３．０％以上、乾燥膜厚が７０〜１８０ｎｍの範囲では、透過率向上率が２．５％以上増加することが判る。 FIG. 2 is a graph showing the relationship between the dry film thickness and the transmittance improvement rate. As shown in FIG. 2, the transmittance of the blank organic substrate (base plate not coated with the coating solution) is 90%, while the dry film thickness of the coating solution of this example is 45 to 200 nm. The rate is over 91.5%. Thus, it is found that the transmittance increases by 1.5% or more by applying the coating solution of the present example in the dry film thickness range of 45 to 200 nm, and the transmittance improvement when the dry film thickness is 120 to 140 nm It has the characteristic that the rate has a peak. According to this figure, when the dry film thickness is 110 to 150 nm, the transmittance improvement rate is 3.5% or more, and when the dry film thickness is 85 to 165 nm, the transmittance improvement rate is 3.0% or more, the dry film thickness In the range of 70 to 180 nm, it can be seen that the transmittance improvement rate increases by 2.5% or more.
実施例２では、有機基材として、厚さ５ｍｍの透明ポリカーボネイトシートを用い、表１の被覆液を透明ポリカーボネイトシートの両面に塗布した。図３は、乾燥膜厚と透過率向上率の関係を示したグラフである。膜厚はそれぞれの面の膜厚を加算して平均化した値である。図３に示すようにブランクの有機基材の透過率が９０％であるのに対し、本実施例の被覆液の乾燥膜厚が５０〜２００ｎｍにおいて透過率が９３％以上となっている。このように乾燥膜厚が５０〜２００ｎｍの範囲では、本実施例の被覆液を塗布することによって透過率が３％以上増加することが判り、乾燥膜厚が１２０〜１４０ｎｍで透過率向上率がピークを持つ特性を有している。この図より乾燥膜厚が１１０〜１５０ｎｍの範囲では、透過率向上率が７．０％以上、乾燥膜厚が９０〜１７０ｎｍの範囲では、透過率向上率が６．０％以上、乾燥膜厚が７５〜１８５ｎｍの範囲では、透過率向上率が５．０％以上、乾燥膜厚が６５〜２００ｎｍの範囲では、透過率向上率が４．０％以上増加することが判る。 In Example 2, using the transparent polycarbonate sheet having a thickness of 5 mm as the organic substrate, the coating solution of Table 1 was applied to both sides of the transparent polycarbonate sheet. FIG. 3 is a graph showing the relationship between the dry film thickness and the transmittance improvement rate. The film thickness is a value obtained by adding and averaging the film thicknesses of the respective surfaces. As shown in FIG. 3, while the transmittance of the blank organic base material is 90%, the transmittance is 93% or more at a dry film thickness of 50 to 200 nm of the coating liquid of this example. Thus, it is found that when the dry film thickness is in the range of 50 to 200 nm, the transmittance increases by 3% or more by applying the coating solution of this example, and the dry film thickness is 120 to 140 nm, and the transmittance improvement rate is It has the characteristic of having a peak. From this figure, when the dry film thickness is 110 to 150 nm, the transmittance improvement rate is 7.0% or more, and when the dry film thickness is 90 to 170 nm, the transmittance improvement rate is 6.0% or more, the dry film thickness In the range of 75 to 185 nm, the transmittance improvement rate is increased by 4.0% or more when the transmittance improvement rate is 5.0% or more and the dry film thickness is in the range of 65 to 200 nm.
実施例３では、有機基材として厚さ５ｍｍの透明ポリカーボネイトシートを用い、表１の被覆液を透明ポリカーボネイトシートの片面と両面に塗布したものと、被膜液を塗布していない透明ポリカーボネイトシート（ブランク）の分光透過率特性を測定した。
スピンコーターの回転数は１５００ｒｐｍに設定し、被覆液の乾燥条件は、実施例１と同じである。使用した被覆液は、表１と同じである。In Example 3, a transparent polycarbonate sheet having a thickness of 5 mm was used as the organic substrate, and the coating solution of Table 1 was applied to one side and both sides of the transparent polycarbonate sheet, and a transparent polycarbonate sheet not coated with the coating solution (blank The spectral transmittance characteristics of were measured.
The rotation speed of the spin coater is set to 1500 rpm, and the drying conditions of the coating liquid are the same as in Example 1. The coating solution used is the same as in Table 1.
図４は、その分光透過率特性を示したグラフである。図４に示すように、全可視光線における被覆液を片面に塗布した透明ポリカーボネイトシートではブランクの透明ポリカーボネイトシートに対して透過率向上率が３．５％向上する。また、被覆液を両面に塗布した透明ポリカーボネイトシートでは、ブランクの透明ポリカーボネイトシートに対して、７．４％の透過率向上率が得られた。このように被膜液を透明ポリカーボネイトシートの片面あるいは両面に塗布して乾燥させた薄膜膜は、二酸化ケイ素微粒子と空気の微小空間が混在した膜であることから屈折率を低下させることができる。またそれと共に、薄膜層の膜厚を有機基材の片面に塗布する場合、４５〜２００ｎｍの範囲で被覆液の塗布後の透過率が塗布前の透過率と比べて１．５％以上高く、また有機基材の両面に５０ｎｍ〜２００ｎｍの範囲で被覆液の塗布後の透過率が塗布前の透過率と比べて３％以上高くすることができる。 FIG. 4 is a graph showing the spectral transmittance characteristics. As shown in FIG. 4, in the transparent polycarbonate sheet in which the coating solution for all visible light is applied on one side, the transmittance improvement rate is improved by 3.5% with respect to the transparent polycarbonate sheet of the blank. Moreover, in the transparent polycarbonate sheet which apply | coated the coating liquid on both surfaces, the transmittance | permeability improvement ratio of 7.4% was obtained with respect to the transparent polycarbonate sheet of a blank. Since the thin film obtained by applying the coating solution on one side or both sides of the transparent polycarbonate sheet and drying as described above is a film in which fine particles of silicon dioxide and air are mixed, the refractive index can be reduced. At the same time, when the film thickness of the thin film layer is applied to one side of the organic substrate, the transmittance after application of the coating liquid is 1.5% or more higher than the transmittance before application in the range of 45 to 200 nm. In addition, the transmittance after application of the coating liquid can be increased by 3% or more in the range of 50 nm to 200 nm on both surfaces of the organic substrate as compared with the transmittance before application.
実施例４では、有機基材として、実施例１と同様に、厚さ５ｍｍの透明ポリカーボネイトシートを用い、下記表２の被覆液をシート片面に塗布した。実施例１と同様に、スピンコーターの回転数は、１０００ｒｐｍ、１５００ｒｐｍ、２０００ｒｐｍ、３０００ｒｐｍ、４０００ｒｐｍの５種類とし、５種類の乾燥膜厚を得た。被覆液を塗布した有機基材は、実施例１と同様に、恒温槽に入れて、６０℃、１分間の環境で乾燥させた。 In Example 4, as in the case of Example 1, a transparent polycarbonate sheet having a thickness of 5 mm was used as the organic substrate, and the coating liquid of Table 2 below was applied to one side of the sheet.
