However, in the display device using the polarizing film described in Patent Documents 1 and 2, there is a problem that nonuniformity occurs in reflected light, and visibility is insufficient.

In view of the above circumstances, an object of the present invention is to provide a laminated optical film having reduced reflectance from external light and excellent in visibility, and an image display device including the laminated optical film, particularly an organic EL display device.

The above problem can be solved by the following configuration. That is, the present invention is a laminated optical film in which at least a first optical film and a second optical film are laminated through an adhesive layer, wherein the adhesive layer is an in-plane refractive index R _{F1 in the first optical film side surface (F1) And the in-plane refractive index R F2} in the second optical film side surface (F2) is different, the difference _{between the in-plane average refractive index of the R F1} and the first optical film is within 0.05, and the difference _{between the R F2} and the second optical film It relates to a laminated optical film characterized in that the difference in in-plane average refractive index is within 0.05.

In the laminated optical film, it is preferable that the thickness of the first optical film is 30 µm or less, and that of the second optical film is 20 µm or less.

Further, the present invention relates to an image display device, particularly an organic EL display device, provided with the laminated optical film described above.

The image display device includes a laminated optical film in which two or more optical films are laminated, and each optical film constituting such a laminated optical film is usually laminated through an adhesive layer. As a result of intensive examination by the present inventors, the adhesive layer provided by the conventionally existing laminated optical film is one optical film side (this is expressed as ``front side'') and the other optical film side (this is expressed as ``back side''). ), and in order to suppress reflection at the interface between the front optical film and the adhesive layer, and at the interface between the rear optical film and the adhesive, the concept of making the refractive index of the adhesive layer different from the front side and the back side has existed so far.

Improves. In addition, when attached to an image display device, the transmittance of internal light such as panel light can be improved.

In general, the thinner the laminated optical film is, the more easily unevenness occurs in the reflected light, which is a problem.In particular, the laminated optical film according to the present invention, even if the thickness of the first optical film and the second optical film, and furthermore, the adhesive layer is thin. , It becomes possible to reduce the reflectance of external light, especially natural light, and the visibility is also improved. Therefore, the laminated optical film according to the present invention is particularly useful for an image display device, particularly an organic EL display device.

As the photoinitiator, a compound represented by the following general formula (1);

[Formula 1]

(In the formula, R ¹ and R ² represent -H, -CH ₂ CH ₃ , -iPr or Cl, and R ¹ and R ² may be the same or different) alone, or a general formula (1 It is preferable to use together the compound represented by) and a photoinitiator which is highly sensitive to light of 380 nm or more to be described later. When the compound represented by the general formula (1) is used, the adhesiveness is excellent compared to the case where a photoinitiator having high sensitivity to light of 380 nm or more is used alone. Among the compounds represented by the general formula (1), diethylthioxanthone in which ^{R 1} and R ² are -CH ₂ CH _{3 is particularly preferable.} The composition ratio of the compound represented by the general formula (1) in the adhesive is preferably 0.1 to 5% by weight, more preferably 0.5 to 4% by weight, when the total amount of the active energy ray-curable adhesive composition is 100% by weight.

Moreover, a known photoinitiator can be used together as needed. Since the transparent protective film having UV absorbing ability does not transmit light of 380 nm or less, it is preferable to use a photoinitiator with high sensitivity to light of 380 nm or more as the photoinitiator. Specifically, 2-methyl-1-(4-methylthiophenyl)-2-morpholinopropan-1-one, 2-benzyl-2-dimethylamino-1-(4-morpholinophenyl)-buta Non-1, 2-(dimethylamino)-2-[(4-methylphenyl)methyl]-1-[4-(4-morpholinyl)phenyl]-1-butanone, 2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyl -Diphenyl-phosphine oxide, bis(2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyl)-phenylphosphine oxide, bis(η5-2,4-cyclopentadien-1-yl)-bis(2,6-difluoro Ro-3-(1H-pyrrol-1-yl)-phenyl) titanium and the like.

In the present invention, among the photopolymerization initiators, it is preferable to use a hydroxyl group-containing photopolymerization initiator. When the active energy ray-curable adhesive composition contains a photopolymerization initiator containing a hydroxyl group as a polymerization initiator, the solubility in the adhesive layer having a high concentration of the component A on the polarizer side increases, and the curability of the adhesive layer increases. As a photoinitiator having a hydroxyl group, for example, 2-methyl-2-hydroxypropiophenone (trade name "DAROCUR1173", manufactured by IGMresins), 1-hydroxycyclohexylphenyl ketone (trade name "Omnirad184", IGMresins), 1-[4-(2-hydroxyethoxy)-phenyl]-2-hydroxy-2-methyl-1-propan-1-one (trade name "Omnirad2959", manufactured by IGMresins), 2 -Hydroxy-1-{4-[4-(2-hydroxy-2-methyl-propionyl)-benzyl]phenyl}-2-methyl-propan-1-one (trade name "Omnirad127", manufactured by IGMresins) And the like. In particular, 1-hydroxycyclohexylphenyl ketone is more preferable because it has particularly excellent solubility in an adhesive layer having a high concentration of component A.

The active energy ray-curable adhesive composition used in the present invention may contain an acrylic oligomer obtained by polymerizing a (meth)acrylic monomer in addition to the curable component related to the radical polymerizable compound. By containing an acrylic oligomer component in the active energy ray-curable adhesive composition, curing shrinkage is reduced when the composition is irradiated and cured with active energy rays, and interfacial stress between the adhesive and adherends such as polarizers and transparent protective films is reduced. It can be reduced. As a result, it is possible to suppress a decrease in adhesion between the adhesive layer and the adherend. In order to sufficiently suppress curing shrinkage of the cured product layer (adhesive layer), when the total amount of the active energy ray-curable adhesive composition is 100% by weight, the content of the acrylic oligomer is preferably 5 to 30% by weight, and 10 It is more preferable to set it as-20 weight%.

When the active energy ray-curable adhesive composition considers workability and uniformity at the time of coating, it is preferable that it has a low viscosity, and therefore it is preferable that an acrylic oligomer obtained by polymerizing a (meth)acrylic monomer also has a low viscosity. As an acrylic oligomer having a low viscosity, it is preferable that the weight average molecular weight (Mw) is 15000 or less, more preferably 10000 or less, and particularly preferably 5000 or less. On the other hand, in order to further advance uneven distribution of the components of the adhesive composition interposed between the polarizer and the transparent protective film, the weight average molecular weight (Mw) of the acrylic oligomer (A) is preferably 500 or more, more preferably 1000 or more, and 1500 It is particularly preferable that it is above. As the (meth)acrylic monomer constituting the acrylic oligomer (A), specifically, for example, methyl (meth) acrylate, ethyl (meth) acrylate, n-propyl (meth) acrylate, isopropyl (meth) )Acrylate, 2-methyl-2-nitropropyl (meth)acrylate, n-butyl (meth)acrylate, isobutyl (meth)acrylate, S-butyl (meth)acrylate, t-butyl (meth) Acrylate, n-pentyl (meth)acrylate, t-pentyl (meth)acrylate, 3-pentyl (meth)acrylate, 2,2-dimethylbutyl (meth)acrylate, n-hexyl (meth)acrylate , Cetyl (meth)acrylate, n-octyl (meth)acrylate, 2-ethylhexyl (meth)acrylate, 4-methyl-2-propylpentyl (meth)acrylate, N-octadecyl (meth)acrylate (Meth)acrylic acid (carbon number 1-20) alkyl esters such as, and, for example, cycloalkyl (meth)acrylate (e.g., cyclohexyl (meth)acrylate, cyclopentyl (meth)acrylate, etc.) ), aralkyl (meth)acrylate (eg, benzyl (meth)acrylate, etc.), polycyclic (meth)acrylate (eg, 2-isobornyl (meth)acrylate, 2-norbor Nylmethyl (meth)acrylate, 5-norbornen-2-yl-methyl (meth)acrylate, 3-methyl-2-norbornylmethyl (meth)acrylate, etc.), containing a hydroxyl group (meth) Acrylic acid esters (e.g., hydroxyethyl (meth)acrylate, 2-hydroxypropyl (meth)acrylate, 2,3-dihydroxypropylmethyl-butyl (meth)methacrylate, etc.), alkoxy group Or phenoxy group-containing (meth)acrylic acid esters (2-methoxyethyl (meth)acrylate, 2-ethoxyethyl (meth)acrylate, 2-methoxymethoxyethyl (meth)acrylate, 3-methoxy Butyl (meth)acrylate, ethylcarbitol (meth)acrylate, phenoxyethyl (meth)acrylate, etc.), epoxy group-containing (meth)acrylic acid esters (eg, glycidyl (meth)acrylate, etc.) , Halogen-containing (meth)acrylic acid esters (for example, 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl (meth)acrylate, 2,2 ,2-trifluoroethylethyl (meth)acrylate, tetrafluoropropyl (meth)acrylate, hexafluoropropyl (meth)acrylate, octafluoropentyl (meth)acrylate, heptadecafluorodecyl ( Meth)acrylate, etc.), alkylaminoalkyl (meth)acrylate (eg, dimethylaminoethyl (meth)acrylate), and the like. These (meth)acrylates can be used alone or in combination of two or more. As a specific example of the acrylic oligomer (A), "ARUFON" by Toa Synthetic Company, "Actflow" by Soken Chemical Company, "JONCRYL" by IGMresins Japan, etc. are mentioned.

When the acrylic oligomer is a liquid, since it is not necessary to consider the solubility in the adhesive composition, it is suitably used. The acrylic oligomer is usually liquid when the glass transition temperature (Tg) is less than 25°C. Moreover, in order to achieve both compatibility with the adhesive composition and the uneven distribution of the components in the adhesive layer, it is preferable that the acrylic oligomer contains a polar functional group. Examples of the polar functional group include a hydroxyl group, an epoxy group, a carboxyl group, and an alkoxysilyl group. Specifically, for example, "ARUFON UH series", "ARUFON UC series", "ARUFON UF series", "ARUFON UG series", "ARUFON US series" (all manufactured by Toa Synthetic Corporation), and the like. Among them, it is preferable to contain an epoxy group from the viewpoint of expecting an improvement in adhesiveness due to interaction with a polarizer. Specifically, "ARUFON UG-4000" and "ARUFON UG-4010" (all manufactured by Toa Synthetic Corporation) are mentioned, for example.

<1st optical film>

In this invention, a transparent protective film can be used suitably as a 1st optical film. The thickness of the transparent protective film is preferably thinner, specifically, preferably 30 µm or less, and more preferably 1 to 20 µm. As a transparent protective film, it is preferable that it is excellent in transparency, mechanical strength, thermal stability, moisture barrier property, isotropic property, and the like. For example, polyester polymers such as polyethylene terephthalate and polyethylene naphthalate, cellulose polymers such as diacetyl cellulose and triacetyl cellulose, acrylic polymers such as polymethyl methacrylate, polystyrene or acrylonitrile-styrene copolymer Styrene polymers, such as (AS resin), polycarbonate polymers, etc. are mentioned. In addition, polyethylene, polypropylene, polyolefin having a cyclo-based or norbornene structure, polyolefin-based polymer such as ethylene-propylene copolymer, vinyl chloride-based polymer, amide-based polymer such as nylon or aromatic polyamide, imide-based polymer, alcohol Pone polymer, polyether sulfone polymer, polyether ether ketone polymer, polyphenylene sulfide polymer, vinyl alcohol polymer, vinylidene chloride polymer, vinyl butyral polymer, arylate polymer, polyoxymethylene polymer, Epoxy polymers, blends of the polymers, etc. are also exemplified as examples of polymers forming the transparent protective film. One or more types of arbitrary suitable additives may be contained in the transparent protective film. Examples of the additives include ultraviolet absorbers, antioxidants, lubricants, plasticizers, mold release agents, coloring inhibitors, flame retardants, nucleating agents, antistatic agents, pigments, and coloring agents. The content of the thermoplastic resin in the transparent protective film is preferably 50 to 100% by weight, more preferably 50 to 99% by weight, still more preferably 60 to 98% by weight, particularly preferably 70 to 97% by weight. . When the content of the thermoplastic resin in the transparent protective film is 50% by weight or less, there is a fear that the high transparency inherent in the thermoplastic resin cannot be sufficiently expressed.

In addition, as a transparent protective film, a polymer film described in JP 2001-343529 A (WO01/37007), for example, (A) a thermoplastic resin having a substituted and/or unsubstituted imide group in the side chain, And a resin composition containing a thermoplastic resin having a substituted and/or unsubstituted phenyl and nitrile group in the side chain. As a specific example, a film of a resin composition containing an alternating copolymer composed of isobutylene and N-methylmaleimide and an acrylonitrile-styrene copolymer is exemplified. As the film, a film made of a mixed extruded product of a resin composition or the like can be used. Since these films have a small retardation and a small photoelastic modulus, problems such as unevenness due to deformation of the polarizing film can be solved, and since the moisture permeability is small, they are excellent in humidification durability.

In addition, the "in-plane average refractive index" of the transparent protective film in the present invention uses a prism coupler SPA-4000 (manufactured by Silon Technology), and among the in-plane refractive indexes of the transparent protective film, the refractive index in the fast axis direction and the slow axis direction The refractive index of was measured, and these average values were made into the in-plane average refractive index. The measurement temperature was 23°C and the measurement wavelength was 532 nm.

<2nd optical film>

In this invention, a polarizer can be used suitably as a 2nd optical film. The polarizer is not particularly limited, and various types of polarizers can be used. As a polarizer, for example, a dichroic material such as iodine or a dichroic dye is added to a hydrophilic polymer film such as a polyvinyl alcohol-based film, a partially formalized polyvinyl alcohol-based film, and an ethylene/vinyl acetate copolymer-based partial saponification film. Polyene-based oriented films, such as a thing which was adsorbed and uniaxially stretched, a polyvinyl alcohol dehydration treatment product, a polyvinyl chloride dehydrochloric acid treatment product, etc. are mentioned. Among these, a polarizer made of a polyvinyl alcohol-based film and a dichroic substance such as iodine is suitable.

In the present invention, the ``in-plane average refractive index'' of the polarizer is a prism coupler SPA-4000 (manufactured by Silon Technology), and among the in-plane refractive indexes of the polarizer, the refractive index in the transmission axis direction and the absorption axis direction are measured. And these average values were made into the in-plane average refractive index of a polarizer. The measurement temperature was 23°C and the measurement wavelength was 532 nm.

The thickness of the polarizer is generally 1 to 30 µm, but as described above, since the thinner the laminated optical film is more likely to cause unevenness in the reflected light, in particular, in the present invention, it is preferable that the polarizer is a thin polarizer, specifically It is preferable that it is 20 micrometers or less in thickness, and it is more preferable that it is 1-12 micrometers.

As a thin polarizer, representatively, Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 51-069644 or Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 2000-338329, a pamphlet of WO2010/100917, a specification of PCT/JP2010/001460, or Japanese Patent Application No. 2010-269002 The thin polarizing film described in the specification and Japanese Patent Application No. 2010-263692 can be mentioned. These thin polarizing films can be obtained by a manufacturing method including a step of stretching a polyvinyl alcohol-based resin (hereinafter, also referred to as a PVA-based resin) layer and a resin substrate for stretching in the state of a laminate and a step of dyeing. In this production method, even if the PVA-based resin layer is thin, it becomes possible to extend without problems such as fracture due to stretching by being supported by the resin substrate for stretching.

The thin polarizing film can be stretched at a high magnification to improve polarization performance, among the manufacturing methods including the step of stretching and dyeing in the state of a laminate. WO2010/100917 pamphlet, PCT/JP2010 It is preferably obtained by a manufacturing method including a step of stretching in an aqueous boric acid solution as described in the specification of /001460 or the specification of Japanese Patent Application 2010-269002 or specification of Japanese Patent Application 2010-263692, and in particular, Japanese Patent Application 2010 It is preferably obtained by a manufacturing method including a step of auxiliary air stretching before stretching in boric acid aqueous solution described in the specification of -269002 or the specification of Japanese Patent Application No. 2010-263692.

The laminated optical film according to the present invention is characterized in that the in-plane refractive index is different between the front side and the back side of the adhesive layer. The laminated optical film provided with such an adhesive layer can be manufactured by the following manufacturing method, for example.

A method of manufacturing a laminated optical film in which at least a first optical film and a second optical film are laminated through an adhesive layer, wherein the adhesive layer comprises: a first cured product layer of a first adhesive composition and a second diameter of a second adhesive composition. A cargo layer is included, and at least a part of the first adhesive composition and the second adhesive composition contain different components, and the first adhesive composition is coated on the bonding surface of the first optical film. A first step to do, a second step of coating the second adhesive composition on the bonding surface of the second optical film, and the first adhesive composition coating surface of the first optical film and the second optical film 2 The 3rd process of bonding the adhesive composition coating surface, and irradiating an active energy ray from the said 1st optical film surface side or the said 2nd optical film surface side, and bonding the said 1st optical film and the said 2nd optical film A manufacturing method comprising a fourth step.

In the above manufacturing method, the adhesive layer comprises a first cured product layer of the first adhesive composition and a second cured product layer of the second adhesive composition, and the first adhesive composition and the second adhesive composition contain different components at least in part. Since it contains, an adhesive layer different from _{the in-plane refractive index R F1 in} the 1st optical film side surface (F1), _{and the in-plane refractive index R F2} in the 2nd optical film side surface (F2) is formed. Here, the in-plane average refractive index of the first optical film and the in-plane average refractive index of the second optical film can be measured in advance, and in the first optical film side surface (F1) of the first cured product layer of the first adhesive composition The in-plane refractive index R _{F1 of} and the in-plane refractive index R F2 in the second optical film side surface _F2 can also be designed at arbitrary values by performing the optimum mixing design, respectively. Therefore, in the above manufacturing method, a laminated optical film having an adhesive layer in which the difference in the in-plane average refractive index _{between R F1} and the first optical film is within 0.05, and the difference in the in-plane average refractive index between R _{F2 and the second optical film is within 0.05 is prepared.} can do.

Further, in the first step, with respect to the coated first adhesive composition, an active energy ray is irradiated from the first optical film surface side or the first adhesive composition coated surface side of the first optical film, and the The first adhesive composition may be cured to form the first cured layer in advance, and the coated first adhesive composition may be air-dried, or further, when the coated first adhesive composition contains a solvent, a solvent is used. By removing, you may form the coating layer of the uncured 1st adhesive composition in advance.

In the laminated optical film according to the present invention, when the first optical film is a transparent protective film and the second optical film is a polarizer, a surface modification treatment is performed before the first step and/or the second coating step (coating step). Can also be done. Specific treatments include corona treatment, plasma treatment, and saponification treatment.

Moreover, in the said 1st process and/or 2nd coating process (coating process), the coating method of an active energy ray-curable adhesive composition is suitably selected according to the viscosity of a composition and a target thickness. Examples of the coating method include a reverse coater, a gravure coater (direct, reverse or offset), a bar reverse coater, a roll coater, a die coater, a bar coater, a rod coater, and the like. In addition, a method such as a dipping method can be appropriately used for coating.

In the said 3rd process (bonding process), two types of different optical films are bonded through the applied active energy ray-curable adhesive composition. The bonding of the optical film can be performed by, for example, a roll laminator.

In the fourth step (adhesion step), the active energy ray-curable adhesive composition can be used in an electron beam curing type, an ultraviolet curing type, or a visible ray curing type. As the active energy ray-curable adhesive composition, a visible ray-curable adhesive composition is preferable from the viewpoint of productivity.

In an active energy ray-curable adhesive composition, for example, after bonding a polarizer and a transparent protective film, an active energy ray (electron ray, ultraviolet ray, visible ray, etc.) is irradiated, and the active energy ray-curable adhesive composition is cured to form an adhesive layer. do. In the fourth step (adhesion step), the irradiation direction of the active energy ray (electron ray, ultraviolet ray, visible ray, etc.) can be irradiated from any suitable direction. Preferably, it irradiates from the transparent protective film side. When irradiated from the polarizer side, there is a concern that the polarizer is deteriorated by active energy rays (electron rays, ultraviolet rays, visible rays, etc.).

In the electron beam curing type, any suitable condition can be adopted as long as the irradiation condition of the electron beam is a condition capable of curing the active energy ray-curable adhesive composition. For example, in electron beam irradiation, the acceleration voltage is preferably 5 kV to 300 kV, more preferably 10 kV to 250 kV. If the acceleration voltage is less than 5 kV, there is a risk that the electron beam does not reach the adhesive, resulting in insufficient curing. If the acceleration voltage exceeds 300 kV, the penetration force passing through the sample is too strong, causing damage to the transparent protective film or polarizer. There is. The irradiation dose is 5 to 100 kGy, more preferably 10 to 75 kGy. When the irradiation dose is less than 5 kGy, the adhesive becomes insufficient in curing, and when it exceeds 100 kGy, damage is caused to the transparent protective film or polarizer, resulting in a decrease in mechanical strength or yellowing, and a predetermined optical property cannot be obtained. .

The electron beam irradiation is usually irradiated in an inert gas, but if necessary, it may be carried out in the atmosphere or under the condition of introducing a little oxygen. Depending on the material of the transparent protective film, by appropriately introducing oxygen, oxygen inhibition is caused on the surface of the transparent protective film to which the electron beam first touches, and damage to the transparent protective film can be prevented, so that only the adhesive can be efficiently irradiated with electron beams. I can.

When manufacturing the laminated optical film according to the present invention, as an active energy ray, one containing visible light having a wavelength range of 380 nm to 450 nm, in particular, an active energy ray having the greatest irradiation amount of visible light having a wavelength range of 380 nm to 450 nm It is preferable to use. In the case of using a transparent protective film (ultraviolet non-transmissive transparent protective film) imparted with ultraviolet ray-curing type and visible ray-curing type, light having a wavelength shorter than about 380 nm is absorbed, so that light having a wavelength shorter than 380 nm is active energy. It does not reach a line-curable adhesive and does not contribute to its polymerization reaction. Further, light having a wavelength shorter than that of 380 nm absorbed by the transparent protective film is converted into heat, and the transparent protective film itself generates heat, causing defects such as curls and wrinkles in the laminated optical film. Therefore, in the case of adopting an ultraviolet curing type or a visible ray curing type in the present invention, it is preferable to use a device that does not emit light with a wavelength shorter than 380 nm as an active energy ray generating device, and more specifically, a wavelength range of 380 It is preferable that it is 100:0-100:50, and it is more preferable that it is 100:0-100:40 ratio of the integrated illuminance of -440 nm and the integrated illuminance of the wavelength range 250-370 nm. As the active energy ray according to the present invention, a gallium-encapsulated metal halide lamp and an LED light source emitting light in a wavelength range of 380 to 440 nm are preferable. Alternatively, low-pressure mercury lamps, medium-pressure mercury lamps, high-pressure mercury lamps, ultra-high pressure mercury lamps, incandescent lamps, xenon lamps, halogen lamps, carbon arc lamps, metal halide lamps, fluorescent lamps, tungsten lamps, gallium lamps, excimer lasers, ultraviolet rays and visible rays such as sunlight A light source including a may be used, and a band pass filter may be used to block ultraviolet rays having a wavelength shorter than 380 nm. In order to prevent curling of the laminated optical film while improving the adhesion performance of the adhesive layer between the polarizer and the transparent protective film, a gallium-enclosed metal halide lamp is used, and a band pass filter capable of blocking light with a wavelength shorter than 380 nm is provided. It is preferable to use an active energy ray obtained through the interposition or an active energy ray having a wavelength of 405 nm obtained using an LED light source.

In the ultraviolet-curable or visible-ray-curable type, heating the active energy ray-curable adhesive after irradiation with ultraviolet or visible light (heating after irradiation) is also preferable, and in that case, heating to 40° C. or higher is preferable, and 50° C. or higher. It is more preferable to warm.

The active energy ray-curable adhesive used in the present invention can be particularly suitably used when forming an adhesive layer for bonding a polarizer and a transparent protective film having a light transmittance of less than 5% at a wavelength of 365 nm to form an adhesive layer. Here, the active energy ray-curable adhesive according to the present invention contains the photopolymerization initiator of the above-described general formula (1), so that ultraviolet rays are irradiated over the transparent protective film having UV absorption ability to cure the adhesive layer. . Therefore, also in the laminated optical film which laminated|stacked the transparent protective film which has UV absorption ability on both surfaces of a polarizer, the adhesive layer can be hardened. However, naturally, the adhesive layer can be cured also in the laminated optical film which laminated|stacked the transparent protective film which does not have UV absorbing ability. In addition, the transparent protective film which has UV absorbing ability means the transparent protective film with the transmittance|permeability to light of 380 nm less than 10%.

As a method of imparting the UV absorbing ability to the transparent protective film, a method of including an ultraviolet absorber in the transparent protective film, or a method of laminating a surface treatment layer containing an ultraviolet absorber on the surface of the transparent protective film may be mentioned.

Specific examples of the ultraviolet absorber include, for example, conventionally known oxybenzophenone compounds, benzotriazole compounds, salicylic acid ester compounds, benzophenone compounds, cyanoacrylate compounds, nickel complex salt compounds, and triazine compounds. Compounds, etc. are mentioned.

<2nd adhesive layer>

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 2, the 2nd adhesive layer 4 can be designed similarly to the said 1st adhesive layer. However, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 2, since the light L incident on the second adhesive layer 4 passes through the polarizer (second optical film) 3 and enters it, the polarizer 3 transmission axis direction Becomes the polarization of Therefore, in order to suppress reflection at the interface between the polarizer 3 and the second adhesive layer 4 and the interface between the retardation film 5 and the second adhesive layer 4, the second adhesive layer 4, a polarizer (3) side surface (F3) in the polarizer 3, the transmission axis direction of the refractive index of R _F3 and a phase difference film (5) side surfaces (F4) in the polarizer 3, the transmission axis direction of the refractive index R _F4 is different to the It is preferable that _{the difference in the refractive index between R F3} and the polarizer 3 in the transmission axis direction is within 0.05, _{and the difference between R F4} and the refractive index in the transmission axis direction of the polarizer 3 of the retardation film 5 is within 0.05. In this case, the reflectance is reduced in the entire image display device M, and visibility is remarkably improved.

<3rd optical film>

The third optical film is not particularly limited, but, for example, a reflective film, a transflective film, a retardation film (including a wavelength film such as 1/2 or 1/4), or an image display device such as a visual compensation film. An optical layer that may be used for can be used. In the present invention, the thickness of the third optical film is preferably thinner, specifically, preferably 20 µm or less, and more preferably 1 to 10 µm.

The pressure-sensitive adhesive that forms the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is not particularly limited, but for example, an acrylic polymer, a silicone polymer, polyester, polyurethane, polyamide, polyether, a fluorine-based or rubber-based polymer can be appropriately selected and used as a base polymer. have. In particular, those having excellent optical transparency, appropriate wettability, cohesiveness and adhesive properties, such as an acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive, and excellent weather resistance and heat resistance, can be preferably used.

The adhesive layer may be formed on one side or both sides of a polarizing film or an optical film as an overlapping layer of different compositions or types. Moreover, in the case of forming on both sides, it is also possible to use an adhesive layer such as a different composition, type, or thickness on the front and back of a polarizing film or an optical film. The thickness of the adhesive layer can be appropriately determined depending on the purpose of use, adhesive strength, etc., and is generally 1 to 500 µm, preferably 1 to 200 µm, and particularly preferably 1 to 100 µm.

With respect to the exposed surface of the adhesive layer, a separator is temporarily attached and covered for the purpose of preventing contamination or the like until it is provided for practical use. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent contact with the adhesive layer in the usual handling state. As the separator, except for the above-described thickness conditions, for example, suitable thin-walled materials such as plastic film, rubber sheet, paper, cloth, non-woven fabric, net, foam sheet or metal foil, and laminates thereof may be used as necessary, such as silicone or long chains. A suitable one according to the prior art, such as one coated with an appropriate release agent such as an alkyl-based, fluorine-based or molybdenum sulfide, can be used.

The formation of the image display device can be carried out according to the prior art. That is, an image display device is generally formed by properly assembling components such as an organic light emitting diode or a liquid crystal cell, a laminated optical film, and a lighting system as necessary to attach a driving circuit, but in the present invention, the present invention There is no restriction|limiting in particular except for using the laminated optical film by, and it can follow conventionally.

When the laminated optical film of the present invention is used in a liquid crystal display device, a liquid crystal display device in which a laminated optical film is disposed on one side or both sides of a liquid crystal cell, or a backlight or a reflector is used in a lighting system, etc. can do. In that case, the laminated optical film according to the present invention can be installed on one side or both sides of the liquid crystal cell. When forming a laminated optical film on both sides, they may be the same thing or different things may be sufficient. In addition, when forming a liquid crystal display, for example, a diffusion plate, an anti-glare layer, an anti-reflection film, a protective plate, a prism array, a lens array sheet, a light diffusion plate, a backlight, etc. It can be placed above.

Example

In Examples 1-3 and Comparative Example 1 shown below, a laminated optical film was model-designed by simulation. For the simulation, a commercially available liquid crystal simulator "LCD master (manufactured by Syntech Co., Ltd.)" was used. In addition, the optical calculation algorithm was set to a 4x4 Jones matrix method. Moreover, the thing of 380 nm-780 nm was used as incident light (random light) from the 1st optical film side with respect to a laminated optical film.

(First optical film (transparent protective film))

As the first optical film, a QL film (thickness 1.5 µm, manufactured by Fujifilm) having an in-plane average refractive index of 1.6 at 550 nm was used.

(Second optical film (polarizer))

As the second optical film, a polarizer (thickness of 5 µm) having a 550 nm in-plane average refractive index of 1.555 was used.

Examples 1 to 3

Using LCD Master, the adhesive layer are in-plane refractive index R _F2 in the in-plane refractive index of R _F1 and the second optical film side surface (F2) of the first optical film side surface (F1) which is a value described in Table 1 It was designed and the laminated optical film in which the 1st optical film and the 2nd optical film were laminated|stacked through this adhesive layer was designed, and the reflectance when irradiating random light from the 1st optical film side with respect to the laminated optical film was calculated. . Table 1 shows the results.

Comparative Example 1

Using an LCD master, to design an adhesive layer (single-layer adhesive layer) having a constant in-plane refractive index in the thickness direction, and design a laminated optical film in which the first optical film and the second optical film are laminated through the adhesive layer, The reflectance was calculated. Table 1 shows the results.

From the results of Table 1, in the laminated optical films according to Examples 1 to 3, because |R _(a) -R _F1 | and |R _(b) -R _F2 | are designed to be within 0.05, external light (random light) It turns out that the reflectance when incident on this laminated optical film is low and visibility is excellent. On the other hand, in the laminated optical film according to the comparative example corresponding to the conventional laminated optical film, since both |R _(a) -R _F1 | and |R _(b) -R _F2 | exceed 0.05, the reflectance is large, and the visibility You can see that this is bad.
