Description

Anti-glare film and its manufacturing method {ANTIGLARE FILM AND PROCESS FOR PRODUCING THE SAME}

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to an antiglare film suitable for preventing glare from projection on a display surface of various display devices and projection of an external light source, and a manufacturing method thereof.

In order to prevent projection of the outer diameter on a display surface such as a liquid crystal display device or an organic electroluminescent (EL) display device, a mixture of fine particles, a binder resin or a curable resin is usually applied to a substrate, and fine unevenness is applied to the surface. Formation prevents specular reflection and expresses anti-glare property. However, in a high-precision display device having a small pixel size, a conventional surface uneven size causes deterioration of image quality such as screen flickering or blurring of characters. In other words, in the case of the high-precision display device, the surface irregularities in the related art are orderly close to the pixel sizes of the high-definition display, and sparkling occurs due to the lens effect due to the surface irregularities. In addition, since the center of gravity position of microparticles | fine-particles cannot be controlled in the inside of a coat layer and a surface structure, the distribution of the transmitted scattered light has the Gaussian distribution centering on the straight transmitted light. Therefore, in the conventional particle size, scattering in the vicinity of the straight transmitted light is increased, and the outline of the pixel is obscured and character blurring occurs. In addition, the intensity distribution of the transmitted scattered light depends on the particle size to be added, so that scattering around the straight transmitted light is reduced and the glare is reduced in the smaller particles, and scattering near the straight transmitted light is increased and the sparkling occurs in the larger particles. .

In order to solve these problems, it is attempted to control the uneven | corrugated shape of a surface by making the size of the added microparticles | fine-particles fine, or using a fine particle etc. with a sharp particle size distribution. However, in these methods, it is necessary to control the gravity center position of the fine particles in order to prevent the flashing and the blurring of characters. Moreover, since the uneven | corrugated shape of a surface becomes small, while being compatible with sufficient anti-glare property, it is disadvantageous also in terms of cost.

Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2001-215307 (Patent Document 1) discloses an antiglare layer containing transparent fine particles having an average particle diameter of 15 µm or less in a film having a thickness of at least two times the average particle diameter, and in the coating film, air and Disclosed is an antiglare layer in which the transparent fine particles are localized on one side in contact with each other to form a fine surface uneven structure. This document also discloses an optical member provided with the antiglare layer on at least one side of a polarizing plate or an elliptically polarizing plate.

However, in this antiglare layer, since the intensity distribution of the transmitted scattered light is controlled in accordance with the particle size, it is not possible to effectively prevent the flickering and blurring of characters on the display surface.

Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2011-13238 (Patent Document 2) discloses an antiglare film having a surface irregularity shape capable of realizing antiglare properties and high contrast, which is an antiglare film in which an antiglare layer is laminated on a translucent base. The anti-glare film which has the airframe structure whose dimension of the mesh of this horizontal direction is 10-150 micrometers, and the said anti-glare layer has at least a 1st phase and a 2nd phase is disclosed. In this document, an inorganic component is aggregated in an antiglare layer at the time of film forming to form an air-speed body structure. In addition, the "conductor structure" in this document is defined as a structure with a small and gentle inclination of the convex part of surface asperity shape compared with the conventional anti-glare layer.

However, the air speed structure of this document is manufactured using convection accompanying the aggregation of inorganic components, and since it is difficult to precisely control the convection, uniformity is observed in the mesh size and the thickness (width) of the mesh. I can't have it. Therefore, the small unevenness to reduce the glare and the large unevenness to emphasize the flash on the order coexist, and it is impossible to achieve both the reduction of the glare and the anti-glare. In addition, when the mesh size is small, the glare can be reduced, but sufficient anti-glare property cannot be exhibited. On the other hand, in the case where the mesh size is large, the surface irregularities have orders of magnitude closer to the pixel size, so that the glare cannot be reduced.

On the other hand, the method of forming an uneven | corrugated shape on the surface using spinodal decomposition of the incompatible resin component is also known, Japanese Unexamined-Japanese-Patent No. 4377578 (patent document 3) has a uneven structure on the surface, and isotropically radiates incident light. Disclosed is an antiglare film comprising an antiglare layer composed of at least one polymer and at least one curable resin precursor, and having a phase-separated structure. In this document, in the method for producing a sheet by evaporating a solvent from a solution in which at least one polymer and at least one curable resin precursor are uniformly dissolved, spinodal decomposition is carried out under suitable conditions, and then the precursor is cured. A phase-separated structure having regularity in phase distance and a surface concave-convex structure corresponding to the phase structure thereof can be formed, and an anti-glare layer having a phase-separated structure having such regularity is used as a high-precision display device (specifically, a resolution of 150 ppi). It is described that when it attaches to the liquid crystal display device which has, the flashing of a display surface and character blur can be effectively removed. In particular, in this document, at the point of forming an air-flow structure along with the progress of phase separation, and further progressing the phase separation, a droplet phase structure is formed, a surface irregularity structure is formed, and the surface hardness is increased, at least island-like shape. A droplet-like structure having domains is advantageous, and it is described that by forming the island-like domains, an uneven shape can be formed on the surface of the antiglare layer after drying. In addition, in this document, as a drying temperature for inducing phase separation by spinodal decomposition, it can select from temperature lower than the boiling point of a solvent (for example, the range of about 30-200 degreeC), and 40-80 degreeC is preferable. In the examples, it is dried at 60 ° C or 80 ° C.

Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2008-225195 (Patent Document 4) discloses a (meth) acrylic resin having a weight average molecular weight of 30000 to 1000000, a (meth) acrylic resin having a weight molecular weight of 1000 to 100000 and a polymerizable group, and polyfunctionality. It is an anti-glare film comprised by the hardened | cured material of (meth) acrylate, Comprising: The string-shaped convex part of average width 0.1-30 micrometers is formed in the surface in the dispersion of a random direction, and the area ratio of the said string-shaped convex part is An anti-glare film of 50% or less with respect to the entire surface is disclosed. This document also describes that a droplet-like structure having at least island-like domains is advantageous, and by forming the island-like domains, an uneven shape can be formed on the surface of the antiglare layer after drying. In addition, in this document, in order to induce convection and phase separation, the temperature is lower than the boiling point of the solvent (for example, 30 to 200 ° C, particularly preferably about 40 to 80 ° C) after being left at a certain time, at room temperature or at room temperature. It is described that drying is preferable, and in the Example, after leaving at room temperature for 10 second, it is drying in the explosion-proof oven of 60 degreeC or 70 degreeC, and wind speed of 3 m / min.

However, in the anti-glare films of Patent Documents 3 and 4, in high-precision display devices (e.g., liquid crystal display devices or organic EL display devices having a resolution of 200 ppi or more) higher than 150 ppi resolution, the glare is kept in anti-glare state. Cannot be reduced. In particular, in general, the greater the distance between the display surface and the anti-glare layer, the more likely to cause glare.However, in the protective or protective film of the display device (the film adhered to the display surface by the user after purchase), the adhesive layer may be interposed. As a result, the distance from the display surface is large, and it is difficult to suppress the glare. In addition, among the high-definition display devices, the organic EL panel has a high luminous intensity of the pixel, which is why sparkling is likely to occur, and it is difficult to achieve both anti-glare properties and suppression of character blur, and it is not compatible with the anti-glare films of Patent Documents 3 and 4. .

Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2001-215307 (claims) Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2011-13238 (claims, paragraph [0035]) Japanese Patent No. 4377578 (claim 1, paragraph [0058] [0071] [0083], Example) Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2008-225195 (claims, paragraph [0068] [0075], Example)

Therefore, the objective of this invention is excellent in the balance of haze and sharpness, and can also improve anti-glare property even if it arrange | positions in a high-precision display apparatus (for example, liquid crystal display apparatus, organic electroluminescent display, etc. which have a resolution of 200ppi or more). The present invention provides an antiglare film and a method for producing the same, which can highly suppress glare and also suppress blurring of characters.

Another object of the present invention is anti-glare that can achieve both anti-glare and anti-glare even when spaced apart from the display surface of a high-precision display such as an organic EL panel (or organic EL display device) and can improve scratch resistance. It is providing the film and its manufacturing method.

MEANS TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM First, the present inventors examined the mechanism by which the conventional anti-glare film using spinoidal decomposition of the incompatible resin component is incompatible with anti-glare property and glitter resistance in a high precision display apparatus. As shown in FIG. 1, the uneven structure by the conventional phase separation is a structure in which the droplet phase structure is arranged relatively periodically. Phase separation is a phenomenon that occurs by uniformly dissolving in the coating liquid, the mixture of the resin in a thermodynamically stable state becomes thermodynamically unstable with evaporation of the solvent and causes spinodal decomposition. Since the whole system becomes thermodynamically unstable at the same time and homogeneous phase separation progresses in the coating film surface, it is characterized by the formation of the surface irregularities of a relatively periodic and uniform size. However, if the size of the surface irregularities is reduced to such an extent that the glare can be suppressed with respect to the pixel size corresponding to the resolution of 200 ppi or more, the antiglare property is lowered, and the external light is projected onto the display surface, thereby deteriorating the image quality. On the other hand, when the inclination angle of the convex shape is increased in order to improve the anti-glare property, the haze rises and character blurring occurs.

In general, flashing is considered to occur due to the lens effect when the size of the uneven structure is close to the pixel size. If the uneven shape is present across the pixels, the transmitted light of each pixel is refracted in different directions according to the uneven shape, and the color or brightness that should reach the eyes of the evaluator as a mixed color of RGB is the pitch or the slope of the uneven structure. It is thought that the phenomenon that changes and feels randomly by the flash is recognized by the flash. If the concave-convex structure is sufficiently smaller than the pixel, the concave-convexity that spans the pixel is present, but it is difficult to feel the glare because of the small ratio and the small refraction. On the other hand, in the case where the uneven structure is sufficiently larger than the pixel, the larger the uneven inclination, the larger the transmitted light is refracted to produce the lens effect, but the smaller the inclined, the less the deflection of the transmitted light is, making it difficult to feel glare. It is easy to see in extreme cases, but if the angle of inclination approaches zero, it can be predicted that it is almost flat and the glare is resolved.

Therefore, the present inventors found that in the conventional anti-glare film, it has a liquid droplet structure, it is easy to generate | occur | produce glare, and it paid attention to the performance speed structure (a performance structure or the performance phase phase separation structure). That is, in the phase separation structure including the airspeed image structure, adjustment is necessary according to the pixel size, but by adjusting the width of the convex portion forming the airspeed image structure to a width sufficiently smaller than that of the pixel, the width direction is determined from a factor that generates flashing. You get out. On the other hand, in the length (continuous length) direction of the convex portion, since the inclination does not exist in principle except the end portion, the flashing is hardly generated. In particular, it is not limited to the performance velocity image structure, and even in the droplet structure, when the length of the island-like domain is large, the proportion of the end portion becomes small, so that the glare hardly occurs. In addition, although the size of the width direction is small, anti-glare property is easily secured because the structure of the performance velocity and the island-like domain portion having a large length are greatly expanded in the membrane surface direction. In addition, since the airspeed image structure is a structure in which the inclined portion is essentially small, the light scattering factor is small, and the haze is low compared to the droplet-shaped surface uneven structure having the same magnitude as that in the width direction. It is difficult to produce.

MEANS TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM On the basis of this knowledge, the present inventors earnestly examined in order to achieve the said subject, As a result, the surface of an antiglare layer has a branched structure and the total length is 100 micrometers or more with phase separation of a some resin component. By forming the convex part of a shape densely, it is excellent in the balance of haze and clarity, and improves anti-glare property even if it arrange | positions in a high-precision display apparatus (for example, liquid crystal display apparatus, organic electroluminescent display, etc. which have a resolution of 200 ppi or more). The present invention has been found to be capable of suppressing glare, highly suppressing glare, and suppressing blurring of characters.

That is, the anti-glare film of this invention is an anti-glare film containing the glare-proof layer which has the long thin convex part formed in the phase separation of several resin component on the surface, and the said long thin convex part has a branched structure, While the total length is 100 µm or more, the long thin convex portion exists on the surface of the antiglare layer at least 1 per mm 2. The said long thin convex part forms a performance-speed structure, and the average diameter of the mesh of a performance-speed structure may be 1-70 micrometers. On the surface of the said anti-glare layer, the length ratio of the elongate convex part and other convex part which have a branched structure may be about former / the latter = 100/0-50/50. The antiglare film of the present invention may have a transmission image clarity of 70 to 100%, a haze of 10 to 40%, and a total light transmittance of 70 to 100% as measured by a filamentous measuring instrument using an optical comb having a 0.5 mm width. The plurality of resin components include a plurality of polymers selected from styrene resins, (meth) acrylic resins, alicyclic olefin resins, polyester resins, aliphatic organic acid cellulose esters and aromatic organic acid cellulose esters, and epoxy (meth) acrylates. At least one curable resin precursor selected from urethane (meth) acrylates, polyester (meth) acrylates, silicone (meth) acrylates, and polyfunctional monomers having at least two polymerizable unsaturated bonds; At least two of the components may be phase-separated by spinodal decomposition from the liquid phase, and the curable resin precursor may be cured. The said curable resin precursor may contain the low point curable resin precursor whose viscosity (25 degreeC) based on JISZ8803 is 3000 mPa * s or less. The anti-glare film of the present invention may be an anti-glare film that can suppress glare even when the anti-glare layer has a distance of 0.05 mm or more from the display surface when disposed on a display device having a resolution of 200 ppi. The display device may be an organic EL display device. The anti-glare film of this invention further contains a transparent film, and the said anti-glare layer may be formed in one surface of this transparent film. In this anti-glare film, the adhesion layer may be formed in the other surface of the transparent film. The anti-glare film of this invention may be a protective or protective film arrange | positioned at the outermost surface of a display apparatus (especially organic electroluminescence display).

This invention also includes the manufacturing method of the said anti-glare film including the drying process of apply | coating the solution containing several resin component, and forming a phase-separated structure by spinodal decomposition accompanying evaporation of a solvent. In the said drying process, you may heat at temperature exceeding 80 degreeC.

In addition, in this specification, "(meth) acryl", "(meth) acrylate", and "(meth) acrylic acid" are respectively "acryl or methacryl", "acrylate or methacrylate", and "acrylic acid or meta". Krylic acid ”means.

In the present invention, a long thin convex portion having a branched structure and having a total length of 100 µm or more is formed on the surface of the antiglare layer with the phase separation of a plurality of resin components, so that the balance of haze and sharpness is Even when placed in a high-precision display device (for example, a liquid crystal display device having a resolution of 200 ppi or more, an organic EL display device, etc.), anti-glare property can be improved, glare can be highly suppressed, and character blur also It can be suppressed. Moreover, even if it arrange | positions spaced apart with respect to the display surface of high precision display devices, such as an organic electroluminescent panel, both anti-glare property and abrasion resistance can be made compatible, and abrasion resistance can also be improved. Therefore, even if it uses as a protective film of high precision display apparatuses, such as an organic EL panel, the said characteristic can be compatible.

[Antiglare layer]

The anti-glare film of the present invention includes an anti-glare layer, and the anti-glare layer has a long thin (or long) convex portion formed on the surface with phase separation of a plurality of resin components, and is formed by a long thin convex portion. Anti-glare property can be expressed by the formed surface uneven structure. In particular, in the present invention, since the long thin convex portion has a branched structure and has a total length of 100 µm or more, and forms a performance velocity structure in a dense state on the surface of the antiglare layer, haze and clarity It is excellent in the balance, and even if it arrange | positions in a high precision display apparatus, it can suppress glare highly and does not impair anti-glare property, and can also suppress character blur.

(Convex part of long thin shape)

The long thin convex part is formed with the phase-separation of several resin component by the method mentioned later, and the long thin (string-like or linear) convex part is formed in substantially mesh shape on the surface of an anti-glare layer. Therefore, the surface of the anti-glare layer has a two-dimensional network in a mesh-like structure (as in the shape of a mesh of a muskmelon shell), i.e., a plurality of irregular loops (for example, a continuous loop or a loop part in which a part is dropped). Can be observed as if

In detail, the anti-glare layer has a branched structure on the surface thereof, and a long thin convex portion having a total length of 100 μm or more (preferably 200 μm or more, more preferably 500 μm or more) is 1 mm 2. 1 or more may be present. In addition, although the said long thin convex part may have two or more, when the whole surface of an anti-glare layer is a performance velocity structure, the length of the said long thin convex part which has a branched structure becomes infinite length, and it measures in any area | region Even if the number exists, it becomes 1. The "total length" of a long thin convex part means the total length which totaled the length of each branched branch in a continuous long thin convex part.

Although the branched structure of the long thin convex part should just have at least 1 branch, it is preferable that the long thin convex part branches in a mesh shape, and forms an airspeed structure (an air-continuous structure or an airspeed phase separation structure). As used herein, the term "contiguous phase structure" means a continuous structure (or a network structure) formed by connecting the convex structure of the droplet phase serving as the basis of the production process to be connected in the process of phase separation.

In addition, not all the long thin convex portions need to be in the structure of the performance, and the underlying droplet convex structure (ie, a long thin convex portion having no branch, a long circular convex portion or an elliptical convex portion, etc.) A convex portion that is not a thin shape). In this invention, by having such a long thin convex part, the ratio which an edge part occupies compared with the island convex part of a droplet form structure (or sea island structure) can be reduced, and a glare and character blur can be suppressed. In addition, in the performance velocity image structure formed with phase separation of the resin component, since the inclination of the edge part is also a small structure, it is possible to suppress the glare and the character blur.

In the surface of the said glare-proof layer, the length ratio of the long thin convex part which has a branched structure, and another convex part (convex part of the base droplet) is the former / latter = 100/0-10 / It can be selected from the range of about 90, for example 100/0 to 30/70 (for example 99/1 to 30/70), preferably 100/0 to 50/50 (for example 95 / 5 to 50/50), more preferably about 100/0 to 70/30 (particularly 100/0 to 90/10), and about 100% (e.g., the entire surface of the air permeation phase structure) is particularly preferred. . It is preferable that the said long thin convex part occupies a high ratio in a convex part, and is 50% or more with respect to the total length of the convex part (the sum of the length of the long and thin convex part and the length of another convex part) normally 50 to 90%). If the ratio of the length is small and the ratio of the long and thin convex portions having the branching structure is too small, the ratio of the droplet structure increases, so that the glare and the character blur easily occur when the anti-glare property is improved.

In the performance-rate structure formed by the elongated convex portion, the meshes having the same diameter are usually arranged in an irregular shape. The average diameter of each mesh of the performance continuation structure (when each mesh of the performance continuation structure is anisotropic such as an ellipse shape or a rectangular shape, the average value of the long diameter and the short diameter) is, for example, 1 to 70 µm (for example, 1 to 40 µm), preferably 2 to 50 µm (for example, 3 to 30 µm), and more preferably 5 to 20 µm (particularly 10 to 20 µm). If the diameter of the mesh is too large, it is easy to cause glitter or blurring, and if it is too small, the anti-glare property is likely to decrease.

The shape of each long thin convex portion (two-dimensional image on the surface of the antiglare layer) is a string shape (linear or fibrous) having a curved portion partially or entirely, and the average width of the long thin convex portion is 0.1 to 30 μm, According to the pixel of the display device, it may be selected from the above range and adjusted to a small width capable of suppressing the glare, for example, 0.1 to 20 µm, preferably 0.1 to 15 µm, more preferably 0.1 to 10 µm (particularly 0.1 to 10). 5 μm). If the width is too large, glare and blurring of characters are likely to occur, and if too small, antiglare property is reduced. In addition, since the droplet-shaped convex portions change the surface shape in the direction of optimizing the interfacial tension when they are connected, the width of the long thin-shaped convex portions of the air-phase structure formed by connecting the droplet-shaped convex portions is the size of the droplet-shaped convex portions on which the liquid droplets are formed. Need not be identical to

The average height of the long thin convex part is 0.05-10 micrometers, Preferably it is 0.07-5 micrometers, More preferably, it is about 0.09-3 micrometers (especially 0.1-2 micrometer). The inclination angle of a long thin convex part is 10 degrees or less, for example, Preferably it is 0.5 to 5 degrees, More preferably, it is about 1 to 3 degrees. If the height of the convex part is high and the inclination becomes large, it is easy to generate | occur | produce glare and text blur.

The area ratio of all the convex portions on the surface of the antiglare layer is, for example, 10 to 99.9% (for example, 30 to 99.8%), preferably 50 to 99.5% (for example, 80) relative to the entire surface. To 99%), more preferably about 90 to 99% (particularly 95 to 98%). If the area between the long thin convex portions is too small, the anti-glare property tends to be lowered. If the area is too large, the glare and character blur easily occur.

In addition, in this specification, the magnitude | size or shape (the presence or absence of a branch, etc.) and area of the convex part of a long thin shape can be measured or evaluated based on the two-dimensional shape observed with a microscope picture. In addition, an average value is the average value of the value measured in arbitrary 10 or more places. In addition, the length ratio of a long thin convex part and another convex part can be calculated | required by measuring each length in the area of 1 mm <2>. In particular, in the present invention, the long, thin convex portions (or the air-speed image structure) have a droplet structure connected to each other to form a continuous structure. Thus, in the microscopic observation, the shape of each long, thin convex portion is convex. The ridges to which negative vertices are connected can be identified based on the part of the shape (ridge). In addition, in this specification, the length of a long thin convex part can be measured as the length of the said ridge part, and the mesh diameter of a performance-speed structure can be calculated | required based on the said ridge part. Specifically, it can measure by the method as described in the Example mentioned later. In addition, the inclination angle of a long thin convex part can be measured with the surface roughness meter (for example, "surf comb" by Toyo Semitsu Co., Ltd.) based on JIS standard.

Curable compound etc. may be sufficient. In addition, a photocurable compound, such as a photocurable monomer, an oligomer, and the photocurable resin which may be low molecular weight, may only be called "photocurable resin."

A photocurable compound contains a monomer and an oligomer (or resin, especially a low molecular weight resin), for example, As a monomer, For example, a monofunctional monomer [(meth) acrylic-type monomers, such as (meth) acrylic acid ester, vinylpyrroli Vinyl monomers such as don, (meth) acrylates having cross-cyclic hydrocarbon groups such as isobornyl (meth) acrylate and adamantyl (meth) acrylate], and polyfunctional having at least two polymerizable unsaturated bonds.

These photocurable compounds can be used individually or in combination of 2 or more types.

Preferable curable resin precursor is a photocurable compound which can be hardened in a short time, for example, an ultraviolet curable compound (monomer, oligomer, resin which may be low molecular weight, etc.), EB curable compound. In particular, a practically advantageous resin precursor is an ultraviolet curable resin. Moreover, in order to improve resistance, such as abrasion resistance, a photocurable compound (photocurable resin) has a polymerizable unsaturated bond of 2 or more (preferably 2-15, more preferably about 4-10) in a molecule | numerator. It is preferable that it is a compound. Specifically, an epoxy (meth) acrylate, urethane (meth) acrylate, polyester (meth) acrylate, silicone (meth) acrylate, and a polyfunctional monomer having at least two polymerizable unsaturated bonds are preferable.

As molecular weight of curable resin precursor, in consideration of compatibility with a polymer, it is 5000 or less, Preferably it is 2000 or less, More preferably, it is about 1000 or less.

The viscosity (viscosity of 25 degreeC based on JIS Z8803) of curable resin precursor can be selected from the range of about 100-10000 mPa * s (especially 500-8000 mPa * s). In particular, it is preferable that a curable resin precursor contains the low point curable resin precursor which has a viscosity of at least 3000 mPa * s or less since it is easy to form the said long thin convex part. The viscosity (viscosity at 25 ° C in accordance with JIS Z8803) of the low-point curable resin precursor is, for example, 100 to 3000 mPa · s, preferably 300 to 2800 mPa · s, more preferably 500 to 2500 mPa · s (particularly 1000 to 1000). 2300 mPa · s). When the viscosity of a low point curable resin precursor is too high, it becomes difficult to form the said long thin convex part. The mechanism by which the elongate thin convex portions are likely to be produced by including the low viscosity curable resin precursor is not obvious, but the low viscosity curable resin precursor is characterized by the melt flowability of the coating liquid in a drying process, in particular the degree of freedom of the thermoplastic resin in which phase separation is performed. It can be presumed that this is because the spinoidal decomposition is promoted to proceed from the droplet phase structure to the performance speed phase structure.

The proportion of the low-point curable resin precursor can be selected from the range of about 1 to 50% by weight with respect to the entire resin component, for example, 3 to 40% by weight, preferably 5 to 35% by weight, more preferably 10 It is about 30 weight% (especially 15-25 weight%). When the ratio of the low-point curable resin precursor is too large, the initial unevenness formation accompanying the phase separation of spinodal decomposition is suppressed, and the chance of connecting the convex portions by melting is reduced, so that the formation of long thin convex portions becomes difficult and excessively If it is small, the melt fluidity of a coating liquid will fall and it becomes difficult to form a long thin convex part.

Curable resin precursor may contain the hardening | curing agent according to the kind. For example, in thermosetting resin, hardening agents, such as amine and polyhydric carboxylic acid, may be included, and in photocurable resin, the photoinitiator may be included. As a photoinitiator, a conventional component, for example, acetophenone or propiophenone, benzyl, benzoin, benzophenone, thioxanthone, acylphosphine oxide, etc. can be illustrated. Content of hardening | curing agents, such as a photocuring agent, is 0.1-20 weight part with respect to 100 weight part of curable resin precursors, Preferably it is 0.5-10 weight part, More preferably, it is about 1-8 weight part (especially 1-5 weight part). It may be about 3 to 8 parts by weight.

Moreover, curable resin precursor may contain the hardening accelerator. For example, the photocurable resin may contain a photocuring accelerator, for example, tertiary amines (such as dialkylaminobenzoic acid ester), phosphine photopolymerization accelerator, and the like.

At least two components of at least one polymer and at least one curable resin precursor are used in a combination that is phase separated from each other near the processing temperature. As the phase-separated combination, for example, (a) a combination in which a plurality of polymers are phase-incompatible with each other, a combination in which (b) a polymer and a curable resin precursor are phase-separated for incompatibilities, or (c) a plurality of curable resin precursors are incompatible with each other. And combinations that are phase separated. Among these combinations, usually (a) is a combination of a plurality of polymers, or (b) a polymer and a curable resin precursor, and particularly a combination of (a) a plurality of polymers is preferable. If the compatibility of both phase separation is high, the phases are not effectively phase separated in the drying process for evaporating the solvent, thereby degrading the function as the antiglare layer.

In addition, a thermoplastic resin and curable resin precursor (or cured resin) are mutually incompatible normally. In the case where the polymer and the curable resin precursor are phase separated for non-commercial use, a plurality of polymers may be used as the polymer. When using a some polymer, at least 1 polymer may be incompatible with respect to a resin precursor (or cured resin), and another polymer may be compatible with the said resin precursor.

Moreover, the combination of two mutually incompatible thermoplastic resins and a curable compound (especially monomer or oligomer which has several curable functional group) may be sufficient. In addition, from the viewpoint of scratch resistance after curing, one of the above-mentioned incompatible thermoplastic resins (particularly both polymers) may be a thermoplastic resin having a functional group (functional group involved in curing of the curable resin precursor) involved in the curing reaction.

When the polymers are composed of a plurality of incompatible polymers and phase separated from each other, the curable resin precursor is used in a combination compatible with at least one of the plurality of incompatible polymers at a processing temperature. That is, in the case where a plurality of incompatible polymers are composed of, for example, a first resin and a second resin, the curable resin precursor may be compatible with at least one of the first resin or the second resin, preferably both polymers. It may be compatible with the component. When it is compatible with both polymer components, it phase-separates into at least two phases of the mixture containing a 1st resin and curable resin precursor as a main component, and the mixture containing a 2nd resin and curable resin precursor as a main component.

In the case where the selected polymers have high compatibility, the polymers are not effectively phase separated in the drying process for evaporating the solvent, thereby degrading the function as the antiglare layer. The plurality of polymer phase separability can be easily determined by preparing a homogeneous solution using a good solvent for both components and visually confirming whether or not the remaining solids are cloudy in the course of evaporating the solvent gradually.

In addition, the polymer and the cured or crosslinked resin produced by the curing of the resin precursor differ from each other in refractive index. Moreover, the refractive index of some polymer (1st resin and 2nd resin) also mutually differs. The difference in refractive index between the polymer and the cured or crosslinked resin and the difference between the refractive indices of the plurality of polymers (first resin and second resin) may be, for example, 0.001 to 0.2, preferably about 0.05 to 0.15.

The ratio (weight ratio) of the polymer and the curable resin precursor is not particularly limited, and for example, the former / the latter can be selected from the range of about 5/95 to 95/5, and from the viewpoint of surface hardness, preferably 5 / About 95 to 60/40, more preferably about 10/90 to 50/50, especially about 10/90 to 40/60.

(Characteristics of Anti-glare Film)

In the antiglare film of the present invention, a fine concavo-convex structure corresponding to a phase separation structure is formed in large quantities on the surface of the antiglare layer. Therefore, projection of the outer diameter by surface reflection can be suppressed, and anti-glare property can be improved. In addition, evaluation of anti-glare property can be evaluated using the gloss meter according to evaluation by projection of a fluorescent lamp by visual observation, and JlS K7105. The antiglare film (antiglare layer) of the present invention may have a 60 ° gloss of 30 or more, for example, 30 to 80, preferably 40 to 70, more preferably 50 to 60 (particularly 52 to 55). . If the gloss is too small, it is easy to cause flashing or blurring of characters.

In addition, the evaluation of glitter and blurring of text can be evaluated using a high-precision liquid crystal display device having a resolution of about 200 ppi, and more easily visually using a high-precision smartphone of about 300 ppi. When placed in a display device having a resolution of 200 ppi, the antiglare film of the present invention can suppress the glare even when the antiglare layer is separated from the display surface by 0.05 mm or more (particularly, about 0.1 to 0.4 mm).

Moreover, in the anti-glare film of this invention, as an optical characteristic which realizes the characteristics of anti-glare property, and reduces the glare and avoids character blur at an optimal level, transmission image clarity, haze, and total light transmittance are adjusted to a specific range. It is preferable that it is done.

The transmission image clarity of the antiglare film can be selected from the range of about 70 to 100% when using an optical comb of 0.5 mm width, but is preferably 75 to 100% (for example, 75 to 95%), more preferably Is about 80 to 100% (particularly 80 to 90%). If the transmission image clarity is too small, blurring of the transmitted light increases, and when used in a high-precision display device, blurring of characters is likely to occur because the outline of the pixel is blurred.

Transmissive image sharpness is a measure of quantifying the blurring and distortion of the light transmitted through the film. Transmissive image sharpness is measured through the optical comb which moves the transmitted light from a film, and a value is computed by the light quantity of the contrast part of an optical comb. That is, when the film blurs the transmitted light, since the image of the slit formed on the optical comb becomes thick, the amount of light in the transmissive portion is 100% or less, while on the other hand, the light is leaked in the non-transmissive portion so that it becomes 0% or more. The value C of the transmission image sharpness is defined by the following equation from the maximum transmitted light M of the transparent portion of the optical comb and the minimum transmitted light m of the opaque portion.

C (%) = [(M-m) / (M + m)] × 100

In other words, the closer the value of C is to 100%, the smaller the blurring of the image due to the antiglare film. Suga, Mitamura, Painting Technology, July 1985].

As a measuring apparatus of the said transmission image sharpness measurement, Suga Shikiki Co., Ltd. filamentation measuring instrument ICM-1DP can be used. As the optical comb, an optical comb having a width of 0.125 to 2 mm can be used.

The haze of the antiglare film of the present invention is, for example, 10 to 40%, preferably 12 to 35%, more preferably about 15 to 30% (particularly 20 to 30%). If the haze is too high, glare and blurring of the characters are likely to occur, and if the haze is too small, the anti-glare property is lowered.

The total light transmittance of the antiglare film of the present invention is, for example, 70 to 100%, preferably 80 to 100%, more preferably 85 to 100% (eg 85 to 95%), particularly 90 to It is about 100% (for example, 90 to 99%).

Haze and total light transmittance can be measured using Nippon Denshoku Kogyo Co., Ltd. product, NDH-5000W haze meter based on JISK7105.

Pencil hardness (750g load) of the anti-glare film (anti-glare layer) of this invention may be H or more (especially 2H or more), for example based on JISK5400, for example, H-4H, Preferably it is 2H It may be about 3H.

(Method for Producing Anti-glare Film)

The anti-glare film of this invention apply | coats the solution containing a some resin component on a support body (especially a transparent film), and a manufacturing method including the drying process of forming a phase-separated structure by spinodal decomposition accompanying evaporation of a solvent. Is obtained by. When it contains curable resin precursor, the anti-glare film of this invention is obtained through the hardening process of hardening the said curable resin precursor further.

Specifically, in a drying process, the liquid phase (or uniform solution) of this resin composition is used using the resin composition (especially liquid composition, such as a homogeneous solution, or mixed liquid) consisting of several resin component (especially a polymer and curable resin precursor), and a solvent. Or the coating layer), in the process of evaporating or removing the solvent by drying or the like, phase separation by spinodal decomposition occurs with concentration of the concentration, and the phase separation structure in which the phase distance (pitch or mesh diameter) is relatively regular Can be formed. The airspeed phase structure can be produced by setting a drying condition or a prescription for increasing the melt fluidity of the resin composition after the solvent is evaporated.

More specifically, the wet spinodal decomposition is usually performed by coating a support or a mixed solution or resin composition (uniform solution) containing at least one polymer, at least one curable resin precursor, and a solvent on a support, and evaporating the solvent from the coating layer. This can be done by doing so. When using a peelable support body as said support body, the anti-glare film comprised by the anti-glare layer alone can be obtained by peeling an anti-glare layer from a support body, and a support body and anti-glare body are used by using a non-peelable support body (preferably transparent support body) as a support body. An antiglare film having a laminated structure composed of layers can be obtained. In addition, by increasing the evaporation temperature of the solvent or by using a component having a low viscosity for part of the resin, the air-speed phase structure in which the phase separation structure is connected can be produced. The reason why the uneven structure becomes the air-speed phase structure is speculative, but it is considered that the fluidity of the resin component is not lost even after the solvent is evaporated, and the uneven structure is melted by heat and they are connected.

In the present invention, in spinodal decomposition, when the phase separation proceeds to form an air velocity phase structure, and when phase separation proceeds further and becomes coarse, the continuous phase is discontinuous by its surface tension, and the droplet phase structure (sphere, Island structure, such as a true sphere shape, a disc shape, or an ellipsoid shape. Therefore, depending on the degree of phase separation, an intermediate structure (phase structure of the process of transitioning from the performance stage to the droplet phase) can also be formed. In the present invention, the phase-separated structure of the antiglare layer may be an island-in-water structure (droplet structure or a phase structure in which one phase is independent or isolated) or a performance-speed phase structure (or mesh structure) in the initial stage of drying. It may also be an intermediate structure in which the and droplet phase structures are mixed. By these phase-separated structures, fine unevenness can be formed on the surface of the antiglare layer after solvent drying. Further, in the drying process, the temperature of the drying is high enough to ensure the fluidity of the resin composition even after drying the solvent, or by further containing a low viscosity component as the resin component, the fine unevenness on the surface is melted and connected, and thus the original performance velocity Even in the structure, it can be transformed into an uneven structure with increased continuity.

In wet spinodal decomposition, the solvent can be selected according to the type and solubility of the polymer and the curable resin precursor, and can uniformly dissolve at least solids (plural polymers and curable resin precursors, reaction initiators, other additives). The solvent may be sufficient. As such a solvent, ketones (acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, methyl isobutyl ketone, cyclohexanone, etc.), ethers (dioxane, tetrahydrofuran, etc.), aliphatic hydrocarbons (hexane etc.), alicyclic hydrocarbons are mentioned, for example. (Cyclohexane, etc.), aromatic hydrocarbons (toluene, xylene, etc.), halogenated hydrocarbons (dichloromethane, dichloroethane, etc.), esters (methyl acetate, ethyl acetate, butyl acetate, etc.), water, alcohols (ethanol, isopropanol) , Butanol, cyclohexanol, etc.), cellosolves (methyl cellosolve, ethyl cellosolve, etc.), cellosolve acetates, sulfoxides (dimethyl sulfoxide, etc.), amides (dimethylformamide, dimethylacetamide) Etc.) can be illustrated. In addition, the solvent may be a mixed solvent.

As said resin composition (mixture), as a preferable aspect, the composition containing the said thermoplastic resin, the photocurable compound, the photoinitiator, and the solvent which melt | dissolved the said thermoplastic resin and the photocurable compound can be used, As another preferable aspect The composition containing the said some mutually incompatible polymer, a photocurable compound, a photoinitiator, and a solvent can be used.

The concentration of the solute (polymer and curable resin precursor, reaction initiator, other additives) in the mixed solution can be selected within the range in which phase separation occurs and in a range that does not impair flexibility or coating property, for example, 1 to 80% by weight, Preferably it is 5 to 60 weight%, More preferably, it is about 15 to 40 weight% (especially 20 to 40 weight%).

As the casting or coating method, conventional methods, for example, spray, roll coater, air knife coater, blade coater, rod coater, reverse coater, bar coater, comma coater, deep squeeze coater, die coater, gravure coater, microgravure coater , Silk screen coater method, dipping method, spray method, spinner method and the like. Among these methods, the bar coater method, the gravure coater method, and the like are widely used.

After the mixture is cast or coated, the solvent can be evaporated to induce phase separation by spinodal decomposition. Since evaporation of a solvent tends to form a long thin convex part on the surface of an anti-glare layer, it is preferable to heat and dry it. Although drying temperature can be selected from the range of about 30-200 degreeC (for example, 40-150 degreeC), for example, since it is easy to form an airspeed phase structure, the temperature exceeding 80 degreeC, for example 82 It can carry out by drying at the temperature of -120 degreeC, Preferably it is 85-110 degreeC, More preferably, it is about 88-105 degreeC (especially 90-100 degreeC). The drying time is, for example, 1 to 60 minutes, preferably 1.2 to 50 minutes, more preferably 1.5 to 30 minutes (particularly 1.8 to 10 minutes). If the drying temperature or time is too small, the provision of heat amount to the resin component is insufficient, the melt fluidity of the resin component is lowered, and the formation of long thin convex portions becomes difficult. On the other hand, when drying temperature and time are too big | large, although the long thin convex part once formed reduces the height by further flow, a structure is maintained. Therefore, a drying temperature and a drying time can be used as a means of changing a height and adjusting anti-glare property and slipperiness | lubricacy.

In this invention, sufficient heat quantity for melt-flowing a resin component can be provided by drying at such a high temperature for a suitable time. Therefore, by the spinodal decomposition accompanied with evaporation of the solvent, it is possible to easily form the long thin convex portion and the air velocity phase structure, and also to give regularity or periodicity to the average distance between domains of the phase separation structure. Can be.

In the curing step, the phase-separated structure formed by spinodal decomposition can be immobilized immediately by curing the precursor. Hardening of a precursor can be performed by heating, light irradiation, etc., or a combination of these methods according to the kind of curable resin precursor. Heating temperature can be selected from a suitable range, for example, about 50-150 degreeC, as long as it has the said phase separation structure, and can also be selected from the same temperature range as the said phase separation process.

Light irradiation can be selected according to the kind of photocuring component, etc., and an ultraviolet-ray, an electron beam, etc. can be used normally. The general exposure source is an ultraviolet irradiation device. Moreover, light irradiation can also be performed in inert gas atmosphere as needed.

As a light source, for example, in the case of ultraviolet rays, a deep UV lamp, a low pressure mercury lamp, a high pressure mercury lamp, an ultra high pressure mercury lamp, a halogen lamp, a laser light source (a light source such as a helium-cadmium laser, an excimer laser) or the like can be used. Can be. The irradiation light amount (irradiation energy) varies depending on the thickness of the coating film, but may be, for example, 50 to 10000 mJ / cm 2, preferably 70 to 7000 mJ / cm 2, and more preferably about 100 to 5000 mJ / cm 2.

Moreover, when forming an adhesion layer, it can also form by apply | coating to the other surface of a transparent film using a conventional method, for example, the casting | flow_spread or a coating method mentioned above.

[Display device]

The anti-glare film of this invention has hard coat property, and is high in anti-glare property. Further, the light scattering intensity in a specific angle range can be improved while isotropically transmitting and scattering the transmitted light. In addition, the transparency of the transmission image is excellent and there is little blurring of characters on the display surface. Therefore, the anti-glare film of this invention can be used for various display apparatuses, such as display apparatuses, such as a liquid crystal display (LCD) apparatus, an organic electroluminescent display (OLED) apparatus, a plasma display, and a display apparatus provided with a touch panel. . In particular, the anti-glare film of the present invention can be used as a member that does not impair image quality due to flashing or blurring of characters even in a high-precision display device of 200 ppi or more (particularly 300 ppi or more). Therefore, the anti-glare film of this invention is a device which is often used as a high precision display apparatus among these display apparatuses, for example, a liquid crystal display device (including the liquid crystal display device which is also a display apparatus provided with a touch panel), It can use suitably for organic electroluminescent display apparatus (including the organic electroluminescent apparatus which is also a display apparatus provided with a touch panel).

The liquid crystal display device may be a reflective liquid crystal display device that illuminates a display unit with a liquid crystal cell using external light, or may be a transmissive liquid crystal display device having a backlight unit for illuminating the display unit. In the above-mentioned reflective liquid crystal display device, incident light from the outside can be introduced through the display unit, and the transmitted light transmitted through the display unit can be reflected by the reflection member to illuminate the display unit. In the reflection type liquid crystal display device, the anti-glare film and the optical member (particularly, the laminate of the polarizing plate and the anti-glare film) can be disposed in the optical path in front of the reflection member. For example, the anti-glare film of the present invention may be disposed or laminated between the reflective member and the display unit, the front surface of the display unit, and the like.

In the transmissive liquid crystal display device, the backlight unit includes a light guide plate for injecting light from a light source (tubular light source such as a cold cathode tube, point light source such as a light emitting diode, etc.) from one side and exiting from an exit surface of the front surface (e.g., For example, the light guide plate of cross-sectional comb shape may be provided. If necessary, a prism sheet may be disposed on the front surface side of the light guide plate. In general, a reflecting member for reflecting light from the light source to the emission surface side is disposed on the rear surface of the light guide plate. In such a transmissive liquid crystal display device, the anti-glare film and the optical member can usually be disposed in the optical path in front of the light source. For example, the anti-glare film or the optical member may be disposed or laminated between the light guide plate and the display unit, the front surface of the display unit, and the like.

The antiglare film of the present invention is particularly effective for an organic EL display device. The organic EL is composed of a light emitting diode (LED) in which the light emitting layer contains an organic compound, and emits light by excitons (excitons) generated by recombination of electrons and holes injected into the organic compound. The light emitting material used for the light emitting layer may be a polymer material or a low molecular material. In the organic EL, a light emitting element is formed for each pixel, and the light emitting element is typically a negative electrode / electron injection layer / electron transport layer / light emitting layer / hole transport layer / hole injection layer / positive electrode / glass plate or transparent plastic plate. It is formed of a substrate.

In addition, the organic EL has a hetero structure and traps electrons and holes in separate layers, respectively. The heterostructure may be a double heterostructure.

As an electrode, metal oxides, such as ITO, are used normally as an anode, and metals, such as Al, Mg, Ag, and Li alloy, are used as a cathode. As a material of each layer, organic substances, such as diamine, anthracene, and a metal complex, are used normally. In detail, the hole transport layer may be formed of oxadiazole triazole or the like. The hole blocking layer may be formed of a phenanthrine derivative or the like. The dopant material may be DCM2 [4- (dicyanomethylene) -2-methyl-6- (p-dimethylaminostyryl) -4H-pyran], coumarin 6, perylene and the like. The thickness of each layer between electrodes is several nm-several hundred nm, and what is necessary is just to have thickness of about 1 micrometer or less in total.

As a driving method, an active matrix driving method in which an active element such as a TFT (thin film transistor) is disposed in each pixel and driven, or a passive matrix that sequentially drives each pixel at its intersection by passing a current at a time in parallel with an orthogonal stripe electrode. Any driving method of the driving method can be used.

The reason why the antiglare film of the present invention is useful for the organic EL is that the organic EL has a high light emission intensity, and the pixel itself emits light and does not pass through a color filter such as a liquid crystal. That is, since organic EL does not have directivity to light and is easy to flash, it can be estimated that anti-glare property falls when the glare of organic EL is suppressed in the conventional anti-glare film.

In addition, the anti-glare film of this invention is a liquid crystal display device or organic electroluminescence display (especially organic electroluminescence display) whose pixel arrangement is a pentile array (arrangement | positioning alternately which consists of two pixels of GR or GB). Can also be preferably used.

In addition, the anti-glare film of the present invention can suppress the glare even when the anti-glare layer is spaced apart from the display surface. Therefore, a protective or protective film for aftermarket for preventing the occurrence of scratches of the display device (particularly of the organic EL display device) It can also use preferably as a protective film). In particular, the antiglare film of the present invention can suppress the glare even when the antiglare layer is arranged at intervals from the display surface, so that the distance from the display surface (the distance between the display surface and the antiglare layer) is 0.05 mm or more (particularly 0.1). It is especially useful for the protective film (the film arrange | positioned at the outermost surface and having a big distance from a display surface by interposing an adhesion layer) used spaced apart.
