Description

Diffusion sheet excellent in light shielding {DIFFUSION SHEET HAVING EXCELLENT LIGHT SHIELDING PROPERTY}

The present invention relates to a diffusion sheet having excellent light shielding properties, in particular, refracting and scattering light at various angles and directions to subdivide, induce irregular diffuse reflection, and also partially absorb light incident on the sheet to diffuse and diffuse light. The present invention relates to a diffusion sheet capable of exhibiting and enhancing a dispersing effect even more.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a diffusion sheet which is one of the components of a back light unit (BLU) of a liquid crystal display (LCD). More specifically, the diffusion, refraction and dispersion of light are greatly enhanced. It is related with the diffusion sheet which was excellent in the shielding function which could exhibit the light shielding function.

In general, flat displays are classified into light emitting and light receiving types. An example of a light-receiving flat panel display is a liquid crystal display device. The liquid crystal display device itself does not emit light to form a liquid crystal image, and light may be incident from outside to form a liquid crystal image.

Therefore, the liquid crystal display which does not emit light by itself serves to evenly illuminate the backlight unit so that the display image is visible from the back of the LCD. The backlight unit mostly includes a light emitting diode (LED) as a light source, and also includes a light guide plate for uniformly dispersing light emitted from the light source over the entire area of the liquid crystal display. In addition, the diffusion sheet includes a diffuser sheet for evenly refracting, dispersing, and diffusely reflecting the light of the backlight light source passing through the light guide plate in various directions. It will play a role.

Referring to FIG. 1, in the backlight unit 1, a diffusion sheet 20, a light collecting sheet 30, and a protective sheet 40 are stacked on an upper surface of a light guide plate 10, and a reflective sheet is disposed on a lower surface of the light guide plate 10. 50 consists of a laminated form.

However, since the diffusion sheet according to the related art merely diffuses and diffuses the light of the backlight light source, there is a problem in that the light guide plate pattern is reflected due to the poor function of diffusely reflecting the light in various directions. In addition, recently, a thin film type optical film has been used to realize a thin film type display, and as a smaller amount of optical film is used, a phenomenon in which patterns formed on the light guide plate are reflected on a liquid crystal image has been shown.

Therefore, the light is refracted and scattered at various angles and directions to subdivide, induce irregular diffuse reflections, and also absorb and absorb light incident on some sheets, thereby exhibiting and enhancing diffusion and dispersion of light, thereby providing excellent light shielding. The development of a diffusion sheet capable of exhibiting a function is required.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to diffuse, refract, and scatter light at various angles and directions to subdivide it, to induce irregular diffuse reflection, and to absorb light incident on some sheets to further increase diffusion and dispersion of light. It is to provide a diffusion sheet that can be exhibited and promoted.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a diffusion sheet comprising a diffusion layer containing amorphous titanium oxide particles and a plastic resin, the diffusion layer is 5 to 5 parts by weight of the amorphous titanium oxide particles to 100 parts by weight of the plastic resin It provides a diffusion sheet comprising 25 parts by weight.

Diffusion sheet of the present invention is to refraction and scatter the light at various angles and directions to subdivide, induce irregular diffuse reflection, and also absorb and absorb the light incident on some sheets to further exhibit and enhance the diffusion and dispersion of light It can be used as a diffusion sheet of the backlight unit of the liquid crystal display device.

If the size of the amorphous titanium oxide particles is less than 0.01 ㎛ is not preferable because the dispersibility may be lowered, if the size of the particles exceeds 10 ㎛ the desired refractive and scattering effect is not obtained, uniform due to too large particle size This is undesirable because it may present a problem in dispersibility.

The amorphous titanium oxide particles are in an amorphous form in which the overall form does not have a specific shape, and the titanium oxide itself may be formed in an anatase or rutile crystalline form, but any may be used. Preferably it may be rutile type. Since the rutile type has a high absorbance property for light relative to the anatase type, the rutile type has a high UV absorption effect due to good absorption of ultraviolet rays and exhibits high stability against UV rays (UV reliability). Therefore, it is not yellowed, and since the refractive index (2.7: 2.5) and the dielectric constant (114: 31) are high, it can be used more preferably.

It may be a thermosetting resin such as a system, UV-curable resin such as acrylic, vinyl-based, moisture-curable resin containing a silicone group, such as one-component silicone, specific examples thereof include (meth) acrylate-based resin, unsaturated polyester resin, Polyester (meth) acrylate resin, silicone urethane (meth) acrylate resin, silicone polyester (meth) acrylate resin, fluorine urethane (meth) acrylate resin, phenol resin, epoxy resin, urea formaldehyde resin, melamine form Aldehyde resins and mixtures thereof. Preferably, a thermosetting resin having excellent high temperature, high humidity, and UV resistance in terms of resin used in a general light shielding diffusion sheet may be used.

In addition, the diffusion sheet of the present invention may include a filler in addition to the amorphous titanium oxide particles for the diffusion function if necessary.

The filler may be an organic polymer filler including a material selected from hard acrylate, polystyrene, nylon, soft acrylate and silicone, and among these, hard acrylate having good solvent resistance and easy dispersion is preferable. The filler is preferably spherical, and may have an average particle diameter of 0.5 to 5 μm, preferably 0.8 to 3 μm. The filler preferably has a refractive index of 0.02 or more that is different from the refractive index of the plastic resin.

The filler may be used in an amount of 40 to 80 parts by weight, preferably 50 to 60 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the plastic resin forming the diffusion layer.

The diffusion sheet of the present invention may be prepared by a conventional sheet or film manufacturing method such as injection, extrusion, wet coating, casting, etc., and may also be prepared to form a coating layer in the form of a sheet by coating on the upper surface of the light guide plate.

Diffusion sheet of the present invention may have a thickness of 38 to 270 ㎛, 100 to 270 ㎛, 150 to 270 ㎛.

For example, an imidazole curing accelerator, a phosphine curing accelerator, an ammonium curing accelerator, a Lewis acid curing accelerator. Or mixtures thereof.

As said coupling agent, a silane coupling agent, a titanate coupling agent, an aluminate coupling agent, a silicone compound, etc. are mentioned, These coupling agents can be used individually or in mixture.

Examples of the antioxidant include phenol-based, sulfur-based or phosphorus-based antioxidants, and the antioxidants may be used to improve the heat resistance stability of the cured product by preventing oxidative degradation during thermosetting of the thermosetting resin composition.
