Description

Surface protection film and optical component to which the surface protection film is attached

The present invention relates to a surface protective film which is bonded to a surface of an optical component such as a polarizing plate, a phase difference plate, or a lens film for a display (hereinafter sometimes referred to as "optical film"). More specifically, the present invention provides a surface protective film having less contamination to an adherend, an excellent surface resist film having excellent anti-peeling performance without deterioration over time, and an optical component to which the surface protective film is bonded .

When manufacturing and transporting optical films such as a polarizing plate, a retardation film, a lens film for a display, an antireflection film, a hard coat film, and a transparent conductive film for a touch panel, and an optical product such as a display using the same, Surface contamination and scratching in the subsequent steps are prevented by bonding the surface protective film to the surface of the optical film. In order to save labor and time after peeling the surface protective film and to improve work efficiency, the surface film may be bonded to the optical film for visual inspection of the optical film as a product. Direct implementation in the state.

Conventionally, in order to prevent the adhesion of scratches and dirt in the manufacturing process of an optical product, a surface protective film in which a binder layer is provided on one surface of a base film is generally used. The surface protective film is bonded to the optical film by a micro-adhesive adhesive layer. The reason why the adhesive layer is set to the micro-adhesive force is that it can be easily peeled off in order to remove the used surface protective film from the surface of the optical film, and to prevent adhesion of the adhesive and remain as an adherend. A phenomenon on the optical film of the product (so-called prevention of the occurrence of adhesive residue).

In the production process of the liquid crystal display panel, the peeling static voltage generated when the surface protective film attached to the optical film is peeled off and removed is destroyed, and the circuit such as the driving IC for controlling the display screen of the liquid crystal display is destroyed. The orientation of the parts, as well as the liquid crystal molecules, can be damaged, although the number of occurrences of these phenomena is small but also occurs. In addition, in order to reduce the power consumption of the liquid crystal display panel, the driving voltage of the liquid crystal material tends to decrease, and accordingly, the breakdown voltage of the driving IC tends to decrease. Recently, it has been required to control the peeling static voltage in the range of +0.7 kV to -0.7 kV.

In addition, in recent years, with the spread of 3D displays (stereoscopic displays), FPR (Film Patterned Retarder) films are bonded to the surface of an optical film such as a polarizing plate. After peeling off the surface protection film bonded to the surface of the optical film, such as a polarizing plate, the FPR film is bonded. However, when the surface of the optical film such as a polarizing plate is contaminated by a binder or an antistatic agent used in the surface protective film, there is a problem that it is difficult to adhere the FPR film. Therefore, the surface protective film used for this use is required to have less contamination of the adherend.

On the other hand, in some liquid crystal panel manufacturers, as a method of evaluating the contamination of the adherend by the surface protective film, a method of peeling off the surface protective film bonded to the optical film such as a polarizing plate is first employed. The film is re-bonded in a state in which air bubbles are mixed, and the re-bonded article is subjected to heat treatment under predetermined conditions, and then the surface protective film is peeled off and the surface of the adherend is observed. In this evaluation method, even if the surface contamination of the adherend is minute, if there is a difference in the surface contamination of the adherend between the portion where the bubble is mixed and the contact of the surface protective film, Bubble marks (sometimes referred to as "bubble stains") remain. Therefore, as a method of evaluating the contamination of the surface of the adherend, it is a very strict evaluation method. In recent years, according to the result of the determination by such a strict evaluation method, a surface protective film which has no problem in surface contamination of the adherend is required.

In order to prevent defects caused by high peeling static voltage when the surface protective film is peeled off from the optical film as the adherend, a surface protective film using an antistatic agent for reducing the peeling static voltage has been proposed. Adhesive layer.

For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a surface protective film using a binder composed of an alkyltrimethylammonium salt, a hydroxyl group-containing acrylic polymer, or a polyisocyanate. Further, Patent Document 2 discloses a binder composition composed of an ionic liquid and an acrylic polymer having an acid value of 1.0 or less, and a binder sheet using the composition. Further, Patent Document 3 discloses a binder composition composed of an acrylic polymer, a polyether polyol compound, an alkali metal salt treated with an anion-adsorbing compound, and surface protection using the composition. membrane. Further, Patent Document 4 discloses a binder composition comprising an ionic liquid, an alkali metal salt, a polymer having a glass transition temperature of 0 ° C or lower, and a surface protective film using the composition.

(The problem to be solved by the invention)

In the above Patent Documents 1 to 4, an antistatic agent is added to the inside of the binder layer. However, the thicker the thickness of the adhesive layer, and the more the amount of movement of the antistatic agent from the adhesive layer to the adherend adhered to the surface protective film, as time passes after adhering to the adherend. When the amount of the antistatic agent moving to the adherend is increased, the appearance quality of the optical film as the adherend is lowered. Alternatively, when the FPR film is bonded, the adhesiveness of the FPR film may be lowered.

In order to reduce the temporal change of the antistatic agent which moves from the adhesive layer to the adherend at this time, if the thickness of the adhesive layer is lowered, other problems may occur. For example, when an optical film having irregularities on the surface such as a polarizing plate after the anti-glare treatment is applied to prevent glare, the adhesive layer cannot meet the irregularities on the surface of the optical film to mix air bubbles, or the optical film and The bonding area of the bonding agent is reduced to lower the bonding force, and there is a problem that the protective film is separated or peeled off during use.

Therefore, there is a need for a surface protective film for use in an optical film which can be used for an optical film having irregularities on the surface, which has little contamination to the adherend and no change with time on the contamination of the adherend. Further, it is also possible to suppress the surface protective film which peels off the static voltage at the time of peeling off the surface protective film.

The inventors have carefully studied this subject. In order to reduce the contamination of the adherend and also reduce the temporal change of the contamination, it is necessary to reduce the amount of the antistatic component which is presumed to be contaminated by the adherend. However, when the amount of the antistatic component is lowered, the peeling static voltage when the surface protective film is peeled off from the adherend becomes high. The inventors of the present invention have studied a method of suppressing the peeling static voltage when the surface protective film is peeled off from the adherend without reducing the absolute amount of the antistatic component. As a result, it was found that an antistatic agent was not added to the binder and mixed to form a binder layer, but the binder composition was applied and dried to laminate the binder layer, and an appropriate amount of antistatic was applied to the surface of the binder layer. The composition can suppress the peeling static voltage when the surface protective film is peeled off from the optical film as the adherend, and the present invention has been completed based on the above findings.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and it is an object of the invention to provide an optical film having irregularities on its surface, which is less likely to be used for contamination of an adherend, and which is less polluting to the adherend. A surface protective film which changes in progress and further has an excellent surface resisting film which is resistant to peeling deterioration and has an anti-peeling electrostatic property, and an optical component using the surface protective film. (method of solving the problem)

In order to solve the above problems, the technical concept of the surface protective film of the present invention is to apply an appropriate amount of an antistatic agent to the surface of the adhesive layer after the adhesive composition is applied and dried to laminate the adhesive layer. The contamination to the adherend is suppressed, and the peeling static voltage when peeling off from the optical film as the adherend can be suppressed.

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a surface protective film in which a binder layer is formed on one surface of a base film composed of a resin having transparency, and a release agent is bonded to the adhesive layer. a surface protective film of a release film in which a release agent layer is formed on one surface of a resin film, and the release agent layer contains a release agent containing dimethyl polysiloxane as a main component and The antistatic agent which does not react with the release agent, and the antistatic agent component is transferred from the release film to the surface of the adhesive layer, whereby the peeling static voltage when the adhesive layer is peeled off from the adherend can be reduced.

Further, it is preferred that the antistatic agent is an alkali metal salt.

Further, it is preferred that the binder layer be formed by crosslinking a (meth) acrylate copolymer.

Further, it is more preferable that the surface potential is +0.5 kV to -0.5 kV, and particularly preferably the surface potential is +0.1 kV to -0.1 kV. This surface potential can be adjusted by changing the kind, addition amount, and the like of the antistatic agent contained in the release agent layer.

Fig. 2 is a cross-sectional view showing a state in which a release film is peeled off from the surface protection film of the present invention. By peeling off the release film 5 from the surface protection film 10 shown in FIG. 1, a part of the antistatic agent (reference numeral 7) contained in the release agent layer 4 of the release film 5 is transferred (attached) to the surface. The surface of the adhesive layer 2 of the protective film 10. Therefore, in Fig. 2, the antistatic agent transferred to the surface of the adhesive layer 2 of the surface protective film is schematically indicated by the spot of the reference numeral 7. By the component of the antistatic agent 7 being transferred from the release film 5 to the surface of the adhesive layer 2, the peeling static voltage when the adhesive layer 2 is peeled off from the adherend can be reduced as compared with the adhesive layer 2 before transfer. . Further, the peeling static voltage when the adhesive layer is peeled off from the adherend can be measured by a known method. For example, after the surface protective film is bonded to an adherend such as a polarizing plate, a high-speed peeling tester (manufactured by TESTER Sangyo Co., Ltd.) is used at a peeling speed of 40 m per minute. While peeling off the surface protective film, the surface potential of the surface of the adherend was measured every 10 ms using a surface potentiometer (manufactured by Keyence Corporation), and the maximum value of the absolute value of the surface potential at this time was taken as the peeling off. The static voltage (kV) was used for the measurement. In the surface protective film of the present invention, when the surface protective film 11 in the state in which the release film is peeled off as shown in FIG. 2 is attached to the adherend, the antistatic agent transferred to the surface of the adhesive layer 2 is applied. Contact with the surface of the adherend. By this operation, it is possible to suppress the peeling static voltage when the surface protective film is peeled off again from the adherend.

Fig. 3 is a cross-sectional view showing an embodiment of an optical component of the present invention. In the state where the release film 5 is peeled off from the surface protection film 10 of the present invention and the adhesive layer 2 is exposed, the adhesive layer 2 is bonded to the optical component 8 as an adherend. That is, the optical component 20 to which the surface protection film 10 of the present invention is bonded is shown in FIG. Examples of the optical component include an optical film such as a polarizing plate, a phase difference plate, a lens film, a polarizing plate which also serves as a phase difference plate, and a polarizing plate which also serves as a lens film. Such an optical component is used as a component of a liquid crystal display device such as a liquid crystal display panel or an optical system device of various measuring instruments. In addition, examples of the optical component include an optical film such as an antireflection film, a hard coat film, and a transparent conductive film for a touch panel. According to the optical component of the present invention, when the surface protective film 10 is peeled off from the optical component (optical film) as the adherend, the peeling static voltage can be sufficiently suppressed to a low level. Therefore, there is no fear that the circuit components such as the driver IC, the TFT element, and the gate line driver circuit are destroyed, and the production efficiency in the steps of manufacturing the liquid crystal display panel and the like can be improved, and the reliability of the production steps can be ensured.
