OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION: TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a polarizing film formed by forming a five-crystal mixture of a lyotropic liquid containing a yellow pigment and a blue pigment, and a polarizing film. Liquid crystal display device. Background Art A polarizing film is, for example, one type of important structural member 10 used in a liquid crystal display device. Conventionally, a dichroic PVA stretched film obtained by stretching a moth-resistant polyvinyl alcohol film has been used as a polarizing film. The polarizing film must be stretched at the time of manufacture, and the absorption axis is generated only in a specific direction (extension direction). Further, since the polarizing film is composed of a stretched film, there are five limitations in forming a film. In addition, in Patent Document 1, a polarizing film comprising a coating film formed by mixing a dye liquid is applied to a substrate, and the mixed dye is mixed = a plurality of pigments (for example, a blue pigment 'red pigment, and yellow Pigment). The dichroic film can be formed into a film shape, and further has a dichroic property in the range of visible light. [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open Publication No. Hei 9-23 No. 142. [Description of Contents; 3 Disclosure of Invention] The polarizing film containing a plurality of dyes has a problem of absorption in the visible light range. 5 200923017 The problem of small dichroism is small. This decrease in absorption dichroism is particularly remarkable on the short wavelength side of the visible light range. The purpose of this month is to provide a polarizing film having high absorption dichroism in a wide range of visible light. In the polarizing film containing a plurality of pigments, the 毛本毛月人 and others focus on research on the absorption dichroism of the short-wavelength side of the visible light I. , the fruit of the mouth & the current absorption - color decline is caused by the yellow pigment and the blue pigment hinder the mutual alignment. In order to improve the present invention, the inventors of the present invention have studied a method of using a yellow pigment as a yellow pigment and a mixture of 10 and a blue pigment. The polarizing film of the present invention contains a lyotropic liquid crystal mixture, and the lyotropic liquid contains a yellow pigment which exhibits maximum absorption in any wavelength range of wavelength shift to gamma (10); The blue coloring matter exhibits a maximum absorption in any wavelength of a wavelength of 580 nm to _ and the above-mentioned 15 yellow pigment is a naphthylmethylidene-1,2,-benzopyran derivative. The polarizing film has a high absorption of two colors in a wide range of visible light. The polarizing film can also be formed by applying a liquid/liquid containing the lyotropic liquid crystal mixture. Therefore, the aforementioned polarizing film can be formed into a film shape. These are the first findings of the present inventors, and can achieve unexpectedly excellent effects. 2 〇 The bright film of Shuming has a high absorption of two colors in a wide range of visible light. The reason for the birth can be estimated by the following (1) and (7). (1) Since the above-mentioned Μ·Naphthylquinone·1', 2'-benzo-derivative itself is highly aligned, the absorption dichroism in the short wavelength range becomes large. (7) The blue pigment has a high degree of alignment due to the presence of the above-mentioned scorpion Γ Γ Γ, 2, benzopyrene, and the absorption dichroism of the long wavelength 200923017 range also becomes large. Therefore, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide a polarizing film having high absorption dichroism in a wide range of visible light. Such a polarizing film is excellent in polarizing characteristics and is particularly suitable for use in a liquid crystal display device. Further, from the other side, the present invention provides a liquid crystal display device having the above-described polarizing film. I: Embodiment 3 The best mode for carrying out the invention (summary of the polarizing film of the present invention) The polarizing film of the present invention is a film in which a material 10 containing a lyotropic liquid crystal mixture is formed into a film, and the lyotropic liquid crystal property The mixture contains: 1,8-naphthoquinone-indole, 2'-benzimide derivative (yellow pigment), which exhibits maximum absorption and blue pigment at any wavelength ranging from 380 nm to 480 nm. The maximum absorption is shown in any of the wavelengths ranging from 580 nm to 680 nm. 15 Such a polarizing film has high absorption dichroism in a wide range of visible light. In the present invention, "absorbing dichroism" means a property of selectively absorbing light in a direction of vibration (a light which does not absorb a direction of vibration perpendicular to the direction of vibration of the light absorbed therein). The absorption of the two-color film of the polarizing film can be evaluated by the vertical transmittance. A polarizing film having a low vertical transmittance absorbs a polarizing film having high dichroism. In addition, the vertical transmittance (%) is obtained from the product of ^^ and ^^2. The above is shown in the transmittance in the maximum transmittance direction when the polarizing film is incident on the linearly polarized light, and k2 is the transmittance in the direction perpendicular to the direction of the maximum transmittance when the polarizing film is incident on the linearly polarized light. The above 1 and 1 and 2 can be determined by the method of 200923017 described in the following embodiments.

Further, the oxime of the above formula (II) and formula (III) is the same as that of the above formula (1). Since the compound (blue pigment) represented by the above formulas (Π) and (III) exhibits lyotropic liquid crystal properties by JL itself, it can be highly aligned with other blue pigments. Therefore, a polarizing film having a high dichroic absorption in a long wavelength range can be obtained. The compounds represented by the above formula (II) and (ΠΙ) may be used singly or in combination of two or more. (Other Compounds) As described above, the lyotropic liquid crystalline mixture used in the present invention may contain other compounds in addition to the yellow pigment and the blue pigment described in the above. The other compounds may be exemplified by red pigments, additives and the like. The red pigment is not particularly limited, for example: CI Direct Red 39 CIDirect Red 28 CIDirect Red 79 CIDirect Red 81 ^ CIDirect Red 83 ^ CIDirect Red 89 ^ CIAdd Red 37# 〇 15 Age Red In the case of a pigment, the content of the red pigment is preferably more than (four) parts by weight and less than the parts by weight of the lyotropic liquid crystalline mixture (10).

(Preparation method of polarizing film) When the liquid crystal mixture is in a solution state, a good liquid crystal phase is obtained. Therefore, a film-like polarizing film can be easily formed by applying a solution of the lyotropic liquid crystal mixture to a suitable substrate. For example, it is produced by the production method including the following steps Α to C. Step A is a step of preparing a solution containing the lyotropic liquid crystal mixture and a solvent. Step B, applying the solution obtained in the above step A to a suitable one. Forming a coating film having the yellow pigment and the blue pigment in the presence of the alignment fixing force of the substrate and/or the shear stress at the coating. Step C: The step of drying the coating film obtained in the above step B to obtain a polarizing film. <Step A> In Step A, a solution containing a lyotropic liquid crystal mixture and a solvent is prepared. The liquid crystal mixture contains at least a yellow pigment (1,8-naphthoquinone-anthracene, 2'-benzimidazole derivative) exhibiting maximum absorption at any wavelength of 20 380 nm to 480 nm, and a wavelength of 580 nm~ The blue pigment which exhibits maximum absorption at any wavelength of 680 nm may also contain other compounds as needed. The solvent is not particularly limited, and a well-known solvent can be used. It is preferred to use an aqueous solvent in the case of 200915. Water, a hydrophilic solvent, a mixed solvent of water and a hydrophilic solvent, and a hydrophilic solvent is a solvent which can be uniformly dissolved in water. Examples of the hydrophilic solvent include alcohols such as decyl alcohol, ethanol, and ethylene glycol; Lusu, ethyl 赛路苏, etc.; ketones such as acetone and 5 methyl ethyl ketone; esters such as ethyl acetate, etc. The solvent is preferably water or a mixed solvent of water and a hydrophilic solvent. . The order in which the yellow pigment, the blue dye, and other compounds to be mixed as needed is mixed in a solvent is not particularly limited. For example, a yellow dye, a blue dye, and other compounds may be simultaneously mixed in a solvent, or may be blue. 10 After mixing the pigment in the solvent, it is mixed with the solvent in the order of the yellow pigment and other compounds. Alternatively, the blue pigment and the yellow pigment may be separately mixed in different solvents to form a solution, and then the two solutions are mixed. The concentration of the lyotropic liquid crystal mixture of the solution is preferably adjusted to exhibit a concentration of the liquid crystal phase. Specifically, the concentration of the lyotropic liquid crystal 15 mixture in the solution is preferably from 1% by mass to 30% by mass. The best is 2% by mass to 20% by mass. In one part of this concentration range, the solution shows a good liquid crystal phase. Further, the pH of the solution is preferably adjusted to a pH of about 4 to 10, preferably to a pH of about 6 to 8. The viscosity of the above solution is preferably adjusted to O.lmPa.s to 30 mPa.s, and more preferably 0.5 mPa.s to 3 mPa.s. Further, the viscosity is a rheometer (manufactured by Haake Co., Ltd., product name: Bu Cai only b only 600. Measurement conditions: double cone sensor shear rate 1000 (l/s) The value of the measurement. 16 200923017 <Step B> In Step B, the coating solution is applied onto a suitable substrate to form a coating film having the yellow pigment and the blue pigment. The aforementioned substrate is used to uniformly spread the aforementioned solution. The type of the substrate is not particularly limited as long as it is suitable for the purpose, and for example, a synthetic resin film (including a generally called sheet), a glass plate, or the like can be used. In a preferred embodiment, the substrate is a separate polymeric film. In other preferred embodiments, the substrate comprises a laminate of polymeric films. The laminate containing the polymer film is preferably such that the polymer film contains an alignment layer. The polymer film is not particularly limited, but a film having excellent transparency (for example, a haze value of 5% or less) is preferred, and an isotropic film is preferred. The material of the polymer film may, for example, be a polyester such as polyethylene terephthalate or polyethylene naphthalate; a cellulose system such as diethyl phthalocyanine or triethylene sulfonate; Carbonate type; propylene type such as polymethyl methacrylate; styrene type such as polystyrene, acrylonitrile styrene copolymer; polyethylene, polypropylene, polyfluorene or norbornene structure Olefin such as terpene hydrocarbon, ethylene/propylene copolymer; vinyl chloride; guanamine such as nylon or aromatic polyamine; quinone imine such as polyamidene; polyether oxime; polyether 20 ether ketone Polyphenylene sulfide; vinyl alcohol; diethylene vinylene; ethylene butyraldehyde; acrylate; polyoxymethylene; Further, as the substrate, a polymer film containing two or more kinds of the above polymers may be used. Further, a laminate of two or more polymer films may be used as the substrate. These polymer films are preferably used as the stretch film. 17 200923017 ^The thickness of the substrate can be designed according to the strength. From the thin and light weight point of 2 points, the thickness of the above-mentioned substrate is better than that of the soil, 5~2〇〇μηι, and the best one is 1〇~1〇〇μιη. 5 When the alignment substrate comprises an alignment layer, the alignment layer is preferably formed by the treatment of the substrate. The alignment treatment may be, for example, a chemical alignment treatment such as rubbing or the like, or a photo-alignment treatment, and the alignment coating solution of the substrate may be used in the solution according to the alignment of the substrate. Each pigment is aligned. A machine can be treated by one side of the substrate (or the surface of the coating film formed on the substrate), and the cloth is formed by one side of the substrate to form an alignment layer. Further, an extended film subjected to elongation treatment may also be used. The substrate or the coating film which is subjected to the above-mentioned rubbing treatment or the like is not particularly limited, and the alignment layer may preferably be formed of a quinone imine 15 polymer as the alignment efficiency of the polydextrose exemplified as the polymer film. The chemical alignment treatment can be carried out by forming a photo-alignment film containing an alignment agent on one surface of the substrate and irradiating the photo-alignment film with light. Thereby, an alignment layer can be formed on one side of the substrate. The alignment agent may, for example, have a photochemical reaction (photoisomerization reaction, photo-opening-loop reaction, photo-dimerization reaction, photo 2 cleavage reaction, and optical Fries rearrangement). A polymer of a photoreactive functional group or the like. The above-mentioned photo-alignment film can be formed by dissolving the alignment agent in a suitable solvent to form a solution and applying it to a substrate. The solution containing the lyotropic liquid crystalline mixture is excellent in fluidity because the solid content concentration is lower than that of 18 200923017. Further, the solution can be easily subjected to a coating viscosity range of a coater (e.g., an applicator). Therefore, when the solution is used, a film-like and uniform coating film can be formed on the substrate. The method of coating the lyotropic liquid crystalline mixture described above is applied to one side of the substrate, and for example, a coating method using a suitable applicator can be used. The applicator may, for example, be a reverse roll coater, a positive roll coater, a gravure coater, a knife coater, a rod coater, or a slit die coater. Slot die coater), 〇rifice coater for slit orifice applicator (5), curtain coater, fountain coater 10, pneumatic coater (air d〇ct〇rc 〇ater), kiss coater, dip coater, drop coater, knife coater, cast coater, spray coater, spin coater, extrusion applicator, Hot melt applicator, etc. The aforementioned applicator is preferably, for example, a reverse roll coater, a positive roll coater, a gravure coater, a rod coater, a slit die coater, a slit orifice coater, a curtain coater, Fountain applicator, etc. As long as it is a coating method using these applicators, a shearing force can be applied to each of the pigments contained in the solution. As a result, a coating film obtained by aligning the pigment enthalpy can be formed. As described above, in the coating method for applying a shearing force when applying a solution, even if a substrate having no alignment layer is used, it is possible to align the respective colors. Further, even when the solution is applied by a coating method applying a shearing force as described above, it is preferable to use a substrate having an alignment layer. The coating speed of the above solution is not particularly limited, but preferably 1 〇〇mm/sec or more, preferably 500 mm/sec to 8000 mm/sec, and particularly preferably 800 mm/sec to 600 〇mm sec. When a solution containing a lyotropic liquid crystal mixture is applied at a coating speed of 1000 mm/sec to 4 mm/sec, the shearing force suitable for the alignment of the respective pigments in the solution can be applied. Therefore, it is possible to form a polarizing film having a high absorption dichroism in a wide range of visible light and having a small difference in thickness. Further, the hydrophilization treatment may be carried out on the solution-coated surface of the substrate of 5 before applying the solution containing the lyotropic liquid crystal mixture. The hydrophilization treatment is a treatment for lowering the contact angle of water. By carrying out the hydrophilization treatment, the surface can be coated with the solution to improve the wettability and coatability of the solution. Any suitable method can be used for the aforementioned hydrophilization treatment. For the hydrophilization treatment, for example, dry treatment or wet treatment can also be used. The dry treatment system 10 is, for example, a discharge treatment such as corona discharge treatment, plasma treatment, and glow discharge treatment; flame treatment; ozone treatment; uv ozone treatment; ultraviolet treatment and electron beam treatment, and the like. The treatment system is, for example, ultrasonic treatment using water, propyl or the like; treatment, combined layer treatment, and the like. These treatments may be carried out singly or in combination of two or more. The aforementioned hydrophilization treatment is preferably a corona discharge treatment, a plasma treatment, a test treatment, or a tie layer treatment. According to this hydrophilization treatment, a polarizing film having high absorption dichroism and a small difference in thickness can be formed in a wide range of visible light. <Step c> 20 The coating film coated on the substrate is dried in the step C'. When drying the coating film, for example, circulating hot air or cold air may be used to pass the heat of the type 1 furnace, using a heater such as microwave or far infrared ray, to adjust the fox's degree, the second heating roller, and the heating. Heat pipe, or heated metal belt and other dry & Drying can also be self-drying. 20 200923017 The drying temperature is below the isotropic phase transfer temperature of the solution, and (4) the heart is slowly raised to high temperature and dry. The aforementioned drying temperature is better for the thief ~ ah as a better dish for the ah ~ ah. If it is such a temperature range, a small polarizing film can be used. 5, (4) The time can be appropriately selected according to the drying temperature and the solvent type, and a polarizing film having a small difference in thickness is formed, and the drying time is, for example, 丨 minute to minute, and preferably 1 minute to 10 minutes. The coating film is fixed to the respective pigments in the coating film by an increase in concentration during drying. The amount of residual solvent of the coating film after drying is in abundance. /. The following are 10 best, preferably 〇.5% by mass or less. The dried coating film is the polarizing film of the present invention. The dried coating film (polarizing film) is laminated on the substrate. The polarizing film of the present invention can be used in a state of being laminated on a substrate, or can be used as a substrate. 15 <Step D> Further, the surface of the coating film after drying (the surface opposite to the surface layer of the substrate) is subjected to the following step D, and the water resistance of the coating film can be imparted. Step D is to contact the solution containing the compound salt with the surface of the coating film which has been dried by the above step c, and the salt of the compound is selected from the group consisting of the salt, the salt, the salt, the total salt, and the intramolecular content. At least one of the group consisting of the compound salts of the above amine groups.
