Description
This invention relates to the manufacturing apparatus and manufacturing method of a polarizing film which can be used as a structural member of a polarizing plate, for example. Moreover, this invention relates to a polarizing film.
As a polarizing film, what adsorbed and oriented dichroic dyes, such as iodine and a dichroic dye, to the uniaxially stretched polyvinyl alcohol-type resin film is used conventionally. Generally, a polarizing film is manufactured by carrying out the dyeing process of dyeing a polyvinyl alcohol-type resin film with a dichroic dye, the crosslinking process of processing with a crosslinking agent, and a film drying process, and carrying out uniaxial stretching process between manufacturing processes [ For example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2001-141926 (Patent Document 1)].
The manufacturing apparatus of a polarizing film has a conveyance path | route of the polyvinyl alcohol-type resin film normally passing through processing tanks, such as a dyeing process tank and a crosslinking process tank, and a drying installation. The polyvinyl alcohol-type resin film conveyed along the path is supported by rolls, such as a guide roll and the nip roll which nips a film.
One of the main uses of a polarizing film is a polarizing plate use which is an essential member of a liquid crystal display device. A polarizing plate means the optical member which laminated | stacked and bonded a protective layer (protective film etc.) on one side or both surfaces of a polarizing film typically using an adhesive agent. In recent years, the improvement of visibility (brightness) is calculated | required by the liquid crystal display device, and the backlight which has higher luminance has been used for the liquid crystal display device according to this request | requirement.
Under these circumstances, the present inventors raise the luminance of the backlight to a certain degree or more, and when the luminance is lower than this, the dot-shaped bright spot (light leakage), which is not visible on the screen of the liquid crystal display device, is not a problem. I faced a new task to be done. For example, in the liquid crystal panel, when bubbles are mixed between the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer bonding the polarizing plate to the liquid crystal cell and the liquid crystal cell, it is known that this bubble causes a bright point (light leakage). Although some technique of suppressing is proposed, it has turned out that the said bright spot which this inventor faced newly is not caused by the bubble mixed between an adhesive layer and a liquid crystal cell. And it was clear by the inventor's examination that the factor of the said bright spot exists in the polarizing film which comprises a polarizing plate.
An object of the present invention is to provide an apparatus and a method for producing a polarizing film which is less likely to generate bright spots (light leakage) newly encountered by the present inventor as described above when applied to a liquid crystal display device. Moreover, another object of this invention is to provide the polarizing film which is hard to produce the said bright spot (light leakage).
MEANS TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM This inventor exists in the specific unevenness | corrugation defect (henceforth "a specific unevenness | corrugation defect") which arises in the surface of the polyvinyl alcohol-type resin film in the manufacturing process of a polarizing film mentioned above, and shows below, According to the manufacturing apparatus and manufacturing method of the polarizing film which concerns on this invention, it discovered that the specific uneven | corrugated defect of a polarizing film and also the bright spot (light leakage) can be suppressed effectively.

When boric acid is added, it differs from the crosslinking process liquid mentioned later by the point containing iodine. The content of iodine in the dyeing treatment liquid is usually 0.003 to 1 part by weight per 100 parts by weight of water.

The rolling resistance of a roll here means the rolling resistance value measured as follows. That is, after winding a thin film on a roll, it is a load applied only to the spring when the edge part of the wound film is fixed only to a spring, and only the spring is pulled out at a constant speed so that the rotation speed of a roll may be 100 rpm.
By using a low rotational resistance roll, the specific uneven | corrugated defect can be suppressed, the tension | tensile_strength of the PVA-
The kind of the low rotational resistance roll is not particularly limited, and may be a free roll such as a guide roll or a drive roll such as a nip roll or a suction roll. When applying a low rotational resistance roll to a nip roll, only one of the pair of rolls which comprise a nip roll may be a low rotational resistance roll, and both may be a low rotational resistance roll. The low rotational resistance roll is preferably a guide roll because the effect of suppressing specific irregularities defects can be enhanced as long as it is a free roll having no driving force for film conveyance.
For example, the rolling resistance of a roll can be made small by reducing the weight per unit volume of a roll, or using the bearing with a small friction moment. Among these, reducing the weight per unit volume of a roll is effective in reducing the rolling resistance of a roll. In order to make the rotational resistance of a roll into the above-mentioned range, the weight per unit volume of a low rotational resistance roll becomes like this. Preferably it is 1500 kg / m <3> or less, More preferably, it is 1000 kg / m <3> or less, More preferably, 700 Kg / m 3 or less. It is possible to reduce the weight per unit volume of a roll by using lightweight materials, such as carbon and aluminum, or using a hollow roll as core material (or material of the whole roll) of a roll. The weight per unit volume of the roll is usually 200 kg / m 3 or more.
By examination of the present inventors, it has been found that the low wettability of the surface of the low rotational resistance roll (the surface in contact with the PVA-based
The roll having a large logarithmic contact angle as described above may be provided with a surface layer (coating layer) made of a material having a large logarithmic contact angle on the roll surface. Specific examples of the material having a large logarithmic contact angle include fluorine-based resins such as polytetrafluoroethylene; Silicone atom-containing resins such as siloxane resins; Carbon materials, such as carbon and diamond like carbon (DLC), are included.
The number of arrangement | positioning of a low rotational resistance roll is not specifically limited, Moreover, the low rotational resistance roll may be arrange | positioned in any position of the conveyance path | route which a polarizing film manufacturing apparatus has. Therefore, although the low rotation resistance roll may arrange | position two or more low rotation resistance rolls to the conveyance path | route, or all the rolls which contact the surface of the PVA
Especially, it is more preferable to select the arrangement position of a low rotational resistance roll in consideration of the following point.

(5) specific irregularities and defects
The specific uneven | corrugated defect which may arise on the surface of a polarizing film produces a bright point (light leakage) when this polarizing film is applied to a liquid crystal display device. This bright point is a defect which is visually recognized for the first time when the brightness of a backlight is raised to a certain degree or more, and this point is a new subject first discovered by the present inventors. The above-mentioned "when the brightness of a backlight is raised to some extent or more" is when the brightness of the backlight measured with the luminance meter is about 10,000 mW / m <2> or more. The brightness of this backlight is the brightness of the light emitted from the liquid crystal display device including the backlight and the liquid crystal panel disposed thereon (the liquid crystal panel includes a liquid crystal cell and polarizing plates disposed on both surfaces thereof). In other words, it corresponds to approximately 500 mW /
Specific uneven | corrugated defect typically consists of the combination of one convex part which protrudes more than that with respect to the polarizing film surface other than the uneven | corrugated defect, and one concave part which is recessed than the said reference | standard and adjoins the convex part. . Usually, a convex part exists in the upstream of a film conveyance direction, and a recessed part exists in the downstream side. In the conventional polarizing film, a plurality of such concave and convex portions consisting of convex portions and concave portions were randomly formed in a dot shape over substantially the entire surface of the polarizing film. When the shape of the uneven portion is viewed from above (when viewed from the direction perpendicular to the film surface), for example, a circular shape, an elliptic shape, or the like, it may be irregular. The specific unevenness | corrugation defect is about 0.5-5 mm (for example, 1-3 mm) in the long diameter (maximum diameter) when a polarizing film is seen from the top (when viewed from the direction perpendicular | vertical with respect to a film surface). Specific uneven | corrugated defect is typically about 0.05-0.5 micrometer in height of the convex part and the depth of a recessed part with respect to the said reference | standard. The height difference (film thickness direction distance from the top part of a convex part to the bottom part of a concave part) in a specific unevenness | defective defect is about 0.1-1 micrometer. When the long diameter and the height difference of a specific uneven | corrugated defect are out of the said range, the uneven | corrugated defect does not produce a bright point, and it exists in the tendency which becomes difficult to become a problem. The presence of a certain uneven | corrugated defect can be confirmed by a loupe etc., for example. The long diameter and elevation difference of a specific uneven | corrugated defect are measured in accordance with the method as described in the term of the Example mentioned later.
According to this invention, generation | occurrence | production of the above-mentioned specific uneven | corrugated defect in the surface of a polarizing film can be suppressed or prevented. Thereby, even when a polarizing film is applied to the liquid crystal display device using the backlight with high brightness | luminance, bright spot (light leakage) can be suppressed or prevented effectively.
It is preferable that the density of the specific uneven | corrugated defect in the at least one surface of the polarizing film which concerns on this invention is 20 pieces / m <2> or less, It is more preferable that it is 15 pieces / m <2> or less, It is more preferable that it is 10 pieces / m <2> or less. . Although it can be said that the density of the specific uneven | corrugated defect in the at least one surface of a polarizing film is 0 piece / m <2>, the bright point at the time of seeing the screen of a liquid crystal display device will be that screen if it is 20 pieces / m <2> or less. Regardless of the size, it has little effect on the visibility of the screen. On the other hand, when the density of specific uneven | corrugated defects exceeds 20 pieces / m <2>, visibility may be impaired depending on the size of a screen. The density of a specific uneven | corrugated defect is measured in accordance with the method as described in the term of the Example mentioned later. Moreover, when a specific uneven | corrugated defect is recognized by one surface of a polarizing film, the specific uneven | corrugated defect which the convex part and the recessed part reversed is formed in the same position also on the other surface normally.
