The compositions of the composition for a window film of Examples and Comparative Examples are shown in Tables 1 and 2 below. The following properties (1) to (4) of the window films prepared in Examples and Comparative Examples were measured and shown in Tables 1 and 2 below.
1. Pencil hardness: Measured by the JIS K5400 method using a pencil hardness meter (Heidon) for the coating layer of the window film. In the pencil hardness measurement, a pencil was used from Mitsubishi's 6B to 9H pencil. The load of the pencil on the coating layer was 1 kg, the angle of drawing the pencil was 45 °, and the drawing speed of the pencil was 60 mm / min. 5 times, and when a scratch occurs more than once, it is measured by using a pencil of the pencil hardness level, and when it is 5 times of the evaluation, it is the maximum pencil hardness value when there is no scratch.
2. Curvature radius: Window film (width x length x thickness, 3 cm x 15 cm x 100 m, substrate layer thickness: 50 m, coating layer thickness: 50 m) was wound around the curvature testing JIG, And whether cracks were generated in the film were visually evaluated. At this time, the direction of compression was such that the coating layer contacted the JIG and the tensile direction contacted the base layer with the JIG. The radius of curvature was measured by decreasing the diameter of the JIG starting from when the radius of the JIG was the maximum in the compression direction. The radius of curvature was determined as the minimum radius of the JIG without cracking.
7, a window film 1 having a base layer thickness of 50 m and a coating layer thickness of 50 m was cut into a width x length (10 cm x 10 cm), and a substrate layer was cut on the bottom surface 2 The maximum height H from the bottom surface 2 to the edge portion of the window film 1 when the window film 1 is placed on the bottom surface 2 and left at 25 ° C and 50% And the mean value was calculated three times.
4. Appearance: The appearance of orange peel, wavy patterns and wrinkles on the surface of the coating layer in the window film was visually evaluated. Whether these were formed or not was judged as irregular shading on the black sheet surface when light was transmitted on the post-coated surface where the window film was placed 10 cm above the black sheet. 1 'when no irregularities (orange peel) and wrinkles were formed such as wave pattern, orange surface,' 2 'when one or both of them were formed, and' 3 'when all were formed. Window films having an appearance of '2' or '3' can not be used in a display device.
