Description

透明導電性薄膜積層體及使用其所得之觸控面板,以及透明導電性薄膜之製造方法 Transparent conductive thin film laminate and touch panel using the same, and method for producing transparent conductive film 技術領域 Technical field

本發明係有關於透明導電性薄膜積層體及使用其所得之觸控面板,以及透明導電性薄膜之製造方法,特別是對於控制捲曲之產生有用的技術。 The present invention relates to a transparent conductive thin film laminate, a touch panel obtained therefrom, and a method for producing a transparent conductive film, and more particularly to a technique for controlling the generation of curl.

背景技術 Background technique

以往,在靜電電容型之觸控面板結構中廣泛使用聚對苯二甲酸乙二酯(PET)作為透明導電性薄膜之基材薄膜。然而,由於PET薄膜被延伸製膜而具有高相位差,難以作為偏光板之基材。因此,在專利文獻1中提出使用環烯烴系樹脂之透明導電性薄膜作為低相位差用基材薄膜。 Conventionally, polyethylene terephthalate (PET) has been widely used as a base film of a transparent conductive film in a capacitive touch panel structure. However, since the PET film is stretched to form a film and has a high phase difference, it is difficult to be used as a substrate of the polarizing plate. Therefore, Patent Document 1 proposes a transparent conductive film using a cycloolefin resin as a base film for low phase difference.

基材薄膜使用環烯烴系樹脂時,由於基材非常脆弱而容易受傷,在藉輥對輥製法搬送時,必須在基材薄膜之兩面上進行硬塗布處理。若在基材薄膜之兩面上設置硬塗層則會產生沾黏(捲取薄膜時薄膜彼此之黏合),因此必須至少在一面上賦予防沾黏性。此外,藉濺鍍等使透明導電層成膜,並進行透明導電層之圖案酐線處理時,必須進 行包含藥液/加熱步驟之單片體操作處理,且必須在與透明導電層相反側之基材薄膜背面上積層表面保護薄膜。 When a cycloolefin-based resin is used as the base film, the base material is very fragile and easily damaged. When the roll-to-roll method is used for transport, it is necessary to perform a hard coat treatment on both surfaces of the base film. If a hard coat layer is provided on both surfaces of the base film, adhesion occurs (the films adhere to each other when the film is taken up), and therefore it is necessary to impart anti-sticking property to at least one side. In addition, when the transparent conductive layer is formed by sputtering or the like, and the pattern of the transparent conductive layer is treated with an acid anhydride, it is necessary to enter The wafer is subjected to a monolithic processing of the chemical/heating step, and a surface protective film must be laminated on the back surface of the substrate film on the side opposite to the transparent conductive layer.

專利文獻2中揭示透明導電性薄膜之基材薄膜及表面保護薄膜兩者均為PET薄膜之積層體。在此情形中,調整加熱步驟中之各薄膜的熱收縮率而減少捲曲以便可良好地搬送。 Patent Document 2 discloses that both a base film and a surface protective film of a transparent conductive film are laminated bodies of a PET film. In this case, the heat shrinkage rate of each film in the heating step is adjusted to reduce the curl so that it can be conveyed satisfactorily.

發明概要 Summary of invention

然而,在使用環烯烴系樹脂作為透明導電性薄膜之基材薄膜,並使用PET基材作為表面保護薄膜之情形中,由於兩者之熱收縮率及線膨脹係數等不同,在加熱步驟後使透明導電膜在上時,透明導電膜面產生凹方向之捲曲,並在加工搬送透明導電性薄膜積層體時,無法藉空氣吸附,因此產生無法通過步驟間之閘等的缺點,且難以安定且連續地進行生產。此外,亦有在切斷透明導電性薄膜之卷材後的加工步驟中無法藉空氣吸附單片狀之透明導電性薄膜等的困難。 However, in the case where a cycloolefin-based resin is used as the base film of the transparent conductive film and a PET substrate is used as the surface protective film, the heat shrinkage rate and the coefficient of linear expansion are different, and after the heating step, When the transparent conductive film is on, the surface of the transparent conductive film is curled in the concave direction, and when the transparent conductive thin film layered body is processed and transported, the air cannot be adsorbed by the air, so that it is difficult to pass the step or the like, and it is difficult to stabilize. Production is carried out continuously. Further, there is a difficulty in that it is not possible to adsorb a single-plate transparent conductive film by air during the processing step after cutting the coil of the transparent conductive film.

因此,本發明之目的在於提供在透明導電性薄膜之基材使用環烯烴系樹脂之情形中,在加熱步驟後亦控制透明 導電性薄膜積層體之捲曲,可確保隨後之步驟產率的透明導電性薄膜積層體及使用其所得之觸控面板,以及透明導電性薄膜之製造方法。 Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a transparent olefin-based resin in a substrate of a transparent conductive film, which is also transparent after the heating step. The curl of the conductive thin film laminate ensures a transparent conductive thin film laminate having a subsequent step yield, a touch panel using the same, and a method for producing a transparent conductive film.

本發明人為解決前述課題而專心檢討,結果發現藉由採用下述結構可達成上述目的而完成本發明。 The present inventors have intensively reviewed the above problems, and as a result, have found that the above object can be achieved by adopting the following configuration.

即,本發明之透明導電性薄膜積層體包含:承載薄膜,其在保護薄膜之至少一面側具有黏著劑層;及透明導電性薄膜,其透過前述黏著劑層可剝離地積層,該透明導電性薄膜積層體之特徵在於:前述透明導電性薄膜具有透明樹脂薄膜及透明導電膜,前述透明樹脂薄膜由非晶性環烯烴系樹脂構成,前述透明樹脂薄膜之厚度係20至150μm,前述承載薄膜積層在前述透明導電性薄膜之與透明導電膜相異的另一面側,前述保護薄膜由與形成前述透明樹脂薄膜之非晶性環烯烴系樹脂不同的非晶性樹脂形成,前述保護薄膜之非晶性樹脂的玻璃轉移溫度係130℃以上,前述保護薄膜之厚度係20至150μm,且將前述透明導電性薄膜積層體切成20cm×20cm,使透明導電膜在上面並在130℃下加熱90分鐘後之中央部之捲曲值A與4角部之平均捲曲值B的差(A-B)為0至50mm。此外,本發明中之各種物性值係藉由在實施例等中採用之方法測量的值。 That is, the transparent conductive thin film laminate of the present invention comprises: a carrier film having an adhesive layer on at least one side of the protective film; and a transparent conductive film which is releasably laminated through the adhesive layer, the transparent conductive In the film laminate, the transparent conductive film has a transparent resin film and a transparent conductive film, and the transparent resin film is made of an amorphous cycloolefin resin, and the transparent resin film has a thickness of 20 to 150 μm, and the carrier film is laminated. On the other surface side of the transparent conductive film which is different from the transparent conductive film, the protective film is formed of an amorphous resin different from the amorphous cycloolefin resin forming the transparent resin film, and the protective film is amorphous. The glass transition temperature of the resin is 130 ° C or higher, the thickness of the protective film is 20 to 150 μm, and the transparent conductive film laminate is cut into 20 cm × 20 cm, and the transparent conductive film is heated thereon at 130 ° C for 90 minutes. The difference (AB) between the curl value A of the rear central portion and the average curl value B of the four corner portions is 0 to 50 mm. Further, various physical property values in the present invention are values measured by the method employed in the embodiment and the like.

捲曲產生之原因考慮是由於環烯烴系樹脂與PET之熱收縮率及線膨脹係數等不同的緣故。例如,在如透明樹脂薄膜係環烯烴系樹脂,而保護薄膜係PET之情形 中,使透明導電膜在上時產生凹方向之捲曲,無法藉吸盤吸附而難以進行加工。在本發明中,如上所述,透明樹脂薄膜使用非晶性環烯烴系樹脂,而保護薄膜使用與形成透明樹脂薄膜之非晶性環烯烴系樹脂不同的非晶性樹脂,藉此可使熱收縮率及線膨脹係數接近,因此在加熱後之降溫步驟中使透明導電膜在上時可朝凸方向產生捲曲。藉此,在搬送程序中,可藉空氣吸引透明導電性薄膜積層體之保護薄膜側的面,且可安定且連續地搬送,並且在加熱步驟後亦可進行金屬配線之加工。 The reason for the occurrence of curling is considered to be due to the difference in heat shrinkage ratio, linear expansion coefficient, and the like of the cycloolefin resin and PET. For example, in the case of a transparent resin film-based cycloolefin-based resin, and a protective film-based PET In the case where the transparent conductive film is placed on the upper side, it is curled in the concave direction, and it is difficult to perform processing by suction by the suction cup. In the present invention, as described above, the transparent resin film uses an amorphous cycloolefin resin, and the protective film uses an amorphous resin different from the amorphous cycloolefin resin which forms the transparent resin film, whereby heat can be used. The shrinkage ratio and the coefficient of linear expansion are close to each other, so that the transparent conductive film can be curled toward the convex direction when the transparent conductive film is on. Thereby, in the conveyance process, the surface of the transparent conductive thin film laminated body on the side of the protective film can be sucked by air, and can be stably and continuously conveyed, and the metal wiring can be processed after the heating step.

本發明之透明導電性薄膜積層體的前述透明樹脂薄膜之非晶性環烯烴系樹脂的玻璃轉移溫度宜為130℃以上,並具有:第一硬化樹脂層,其設於前述透明樹脂薄膜之其中一第一主面側;及一第二硬化樹脂層,其設於與前述透明樹脂薄膜之前述第一主面相反側的第二主面側。藉由令透明樹脂薄膜之非晶性環烯烴系樹脂的玻璃轉移溫度為130℃以上,可使保護薄膜使用之非晶性樹脂的線膨脹係數及熱收縮率接近,可進一步控制在乾燥等之加熱步驟中產生捲曲,並可確保後續步驟之產率。此外,由於在透明樹脂薄膜之兩面形成有硬化樹脂層,在透明導電性薄膜之形成及圖案化等或搭載至電子機器等各步驟中不易受傷。 The amorphous cycloolefin resin of the transparent resin film of the transparent conductive film laminate of the present invention preferably has a glass transition temperature of 130 ° C or higher, and has a first cured resin layer provided in the transparent resin film. a first main surface side; and a second hardened resin layer provided on a second main surface side opposite to the first main surface of the transparent resin film. When the glass transition temperature of the amorphous cycloolefin resin of the transparent resin film is 130° C. or more, the linear expansion coefficient and the heat shrinkage ratio of the amorphous resin used for the protective film can be made close to each other, and can be further controlled in drying or the like. Curl is produced during the heating step and the yield of subsequent steps is ensured. Further, since the cured resin layer is formed on both surfaces of the transparent resin film, it is less likely to be damaged in the steps of forming, patterning, or the like of the transparent conductive film or mounting on an electronic device.

本發明之前述透明樹脂薄膜之非晶性環烯烴系樹脂的玻璃轉移溫度a與前述保護薄膜之非晶性樹脂的玻璃轉移溫度b之差(a-b)的絕對值宜為5℃以上。藉此,當透 明導電性薄膜積層體之透明導電膜側在上時,可使透明導電性薄膜積層體在適當範圍內朝凸方向捲曲,並可使透明導電性薄膜積層體容易搬送,以確保隨後之步驟的產率。 The absolute value of the difference (a-b) between the glass transition temperature a of the amorphous cycloolefin resin of the transparent resin film of the present invention and the glass transition temperature b of the amorphous resin of the protective film is preferably 5 ° C or higher. Take this When the transparent conductive film side of the conductive thin film laminate is on the side, the transparent conductive thin film laminate can be curled in a convex direction in an appropriate range, and the transparent conductive thin film laminate can be easily transported to ensure the subsequent steps. Yield.

本發明之前述透明樹脂薄膜的非晶性環烯烴系樹脂及前述保護薄膜之非晶性樹脂宜為構成單位互相不同之樹脂。藉此,當透明導電性薄膜積層體之透明導電膜側在上時,可使透明導電性薄膜積層體在適當範圍內朝凸方向捲曲,並可使透明導電性薄膜積層體容易搬送,以確保隨後之步驟的產率。 The amorphous cycloolefin resin of the transparent resin film of the present invention and the amorphous resin of the protective film are preferably resins having different constituent units. Therefore, when the transparent conductive film side of the transparent conductive thin film layered body is on the side, the transparent conductive thin film laminated body can be curled in the convex direction in an appropriate range, and the transparent conductive thin film laminated body can be easily transported to ensure The yield of the subsequent steps.

本發明之前述保護薄膜宜由聚碳酸酯系樹脂構成,重量平均分子量為2×104以上,且在130℃下加熱90分鐘後之熱收縮率在MD及TD方向上為0.3%以下。由於保護薄膜由聚碳酸酯系樹脂構成,可製得機械特性及加工性等良好之透明導電性薄膜積層體。此外,由於可抑制透明導電性薄膜之加熱步驟時的過剩熱收縮,可更高程度地控制捲曲之產生,並可安定且連續地加工搬送透明導電性薄膜積層體。 The protective film of the present invention is preferably composed of a polycarbonate resin, and has a weight average molecular weight of 2 × 10 4 or more, and a heat shrinkage ratio after heating at 130 ° C for 90 minutes is 0.3% or less in the MD and TD directions. Since the protective film is made of a polycarbonate resin, a transparent conductive thin film laminate having excellent mechanical properties and workability can be obtained. Further, since excessive heat shrinkage in the heating step of the transparent conductive film can be suppressed, the occurrence of curl can be controlled to a higher degree, and the transparent conductive thin film layered body can be processed stably and continuously.

本發明之透明導電性薄膜積層體宜在前述第一硬化樹脂層與前述透明導電膜之間更具有一層以上之光學調整層。由於可藉由光學調整層調整折射率,可降低透明導電膜圖案化時之圖案形成部與圖案開口部的反射率差,因此不易看見透明導電膜圖案,使觸控面板等之顯示裝置的觀看性良好。 It is preferable that the transparent conductive thin film laminate of the present invention further has one or more optical adjustment layers between the first cured resin layer and the transparent conductive film. Since the refractive index can be adjusted by the optical adjustment layer, the difference in reflectance between the pattern forming portion and the pattern opening portion during patterning of the transparent conductive film can be reduced, so that the transparent conductive film pattern is not easily seen, and the display device such as a touch panel can be viewed. Good sex.

本發明之觸控面板宜使用前述透明導電性薄膜 積層體而得。若使用前述透明導電性薄膜積層體,可進一步控制乾燥等加熱步驟中之捲曲產生,使透明導電性薄膜積層體容易加工搬送而提高作業效率。 The touch panel of the present invention preferably uses the aforementioned transparent conductive film Collected by the body. When the transparent conductive film laminate is used, it is possible to further control the occurrence of curl in the heating step such as drying, and the transparent conductive film laminate can be easily processed and conveyed to improve work efficiency.

本發明亦包含加工之透明導電性薄膜之製造方法,其包含以下步驟:加熱加工前述透明導電性薄膜積層體之透明導電性薄膜;及剝離透明導電性薄膜及承載薄膜。依據本發明之製造方法,可控制乾燥等之加熱步驟後之捲曲產生量及方向等,因此容易加工搬送且製造效率良好。 The present invention also includes a method for producing a processed transparent conductive film, comprising the steps of: heating a transparent conductive film of the transparent conductive film laminate; and peeling off the transparent conductive film and the carrier film.

透明樹脂薄膜可在表面上施加預濺鍍、電暈放電、火焰、紫外線照射、電子束照射、化學轉化、氧化等之蝕刻處理或塗布處理,使與形成在透明樹脂薄膜上之硬化樹脂層及透明導電膜等的密接性提高。此外,在形成硬化樹脂層及透明導電膜等之前,可依需要藉由溶劑洗淨及超音波洗淨等,將透明樹脂薄膜表面除塵、清淨化。 The transparent resin film may be subjected to an etching treatment or a coating treatment such as pre-sputtering, corona discharge, flame, ultraviolet ray irradiation, electron beam irradiation, chemical conversion, oxidation, or the like on the surface to form a cured resin layer formed on the transparent resin film and The adhesion of a transparent conductive film or the like is improved. Further, before the formation of the cured resin layer, the transparent conductive film, or the like, the surface of the transparent resin film may be dusted and purified by solvent washing or ultrasonic cleaning as needed.

透明樹脂薄膜之厚度宜在20至150μm之範圍內,且以在30至100μm之範圍內較佳,並以在40至80μm之範圍內更佳。若透明樹脂薄膜之厚度小於上述範圍之下限,機械之強度不足,有使薄膜基材形成卷狀而連續地形成透明 導電膜之操作困難的情形。另一方面,若厚度超過上述範圍之上限,有無法使透明導電膜之耐擦傷性及作為觸控面板用之打點特性提高的情形。 The thickness of the transparent resin film is preferably in the range of 20 to 150 μm, more preferably in the range of 30 to 100 μm, and more preferably in the range of 40 to 80 μm. If the thickness of the transparent resin film is less than the lower limit of the above range, the mechanical strength is insufficient, and the film substrate is formed into a roll shape to continuously form a transparent The case where the operation of the conductive film is difficult. On the other hand, when the thickness exceeds the upper limit of the above range, the scratch resistance of the transparent conductive film and the dot characteristics for the touch panel cannot be improved.

上述透明樹脂薄膜之非晶性環烯烴系樹脂的玻璃轉移溫度(Tg)雖然沒有特別限制,但宜為130℃以上,且以160℃以上較佳,並以180℃以上更佳。藉此,可控制乾燥等加熱步驟後之捲曲產生量及方向等,因此容易加工搬送透明導電性薄膜積層體。 The glass transition temperature (Tg) of the amorphous cycloolefin resin of the transparent resin film is not particularly limited, but is preferably 130 ° C or higher, preferably 160 ° C or higher, and more preferably 180 ° C or higher. Thereby, the amount of curl generation and the direction after the heating step such as drying can be controlled, and thus the transparent conductive thin film layered body can be easily processed and transported.

形成透明樹脂薄膜之樹脂薄膜原料(積層硬化樹脂層前、實施加熱處理前之薄膜)在130℃下加熱90分鐘時之MD方向及TD方向的熱收縮率宜為0.3%以下,且以0.2%以下較佳,並以0.1%以下更佳。藉此,可成為具優異加工性、透明性等之透明導電性薄膜,且可控制乾燥等加熱步驟後之捲曲產生量及方向等,因此容易加工搬送透明導電性薄膜積層體。 The heat-shrinkage ratio in the MD direction and the TD direction when the resin film raw material forming the transparent resin film (the film before the layering of the cured resin layer and before the heat treatment) is heated at 130 ° C for 90 minutes is preferably 0.3% or less, and is 0.2%. The following is preferred, and is preferably 0.1% or less. In this way, the transparent conductive film having excellent workability and transparency can be obtained, and the amount and direction of curling after the heating step such as drying can be controlled. Therefore, the transparent conductive thin film layered body can be easily processed and transported.

上述透明樹脂薄膜容易作成面內方向之相位差(R0)為0nm至10nmm的低相位差薄膜或面內方向之相位差為大約80nm至150nm之λ/4薄膜,且在與偏光板一起使用之情形中,可具有良好之觀看性。此外,面內相位差(R0)係在23℃下藉波長589nm之光測量之相位差薄膜(層)面內的相位差值。 The transparent resin film is easily formed into a low retardation film having a phase difference (R0) of 0 nm to 10 nm in the in-plane direction or a λ/4 film having a phase difference of about 80 nm to 150 nm in the in-plane direction, and is used together with the polarizing plate. In this case, it can have good visibility. Further, the in-plane phase difference (R0) is a phase difference in the retardation film (layer) plane measured by light having a wavelength of 589 nm at 23 °C.

(硬化樹脂層) (hardened resin layer)

硬化樹脂層包含設於透明樹脂薄膜之其中一第一主面側的第一硬化樹脂層、及設於相反側之第二主面側的第二 硬化樹脂層。由於由環烯烴系樹脂形成之透明樹脂薄膜在透明導電膜之形成及透明導電膜之圖案化等或搭載至電子機器等的各步驟中容易受傷,宜在透明樹脂薄膜之兩面上形成第一硬化樹脂層及第二硬化樹脂層。 The cured resin layer includes a first hardened resin layer provided on one of the first main surface sides of the transparent resin film, and a second hardened resin layer provided on the opposite side of the second main surface side Hardened resin layer. Since the transparent resin film formed of the cycloolefin resin is easily damaged in the steps of forming the transparent conductive film, patterning the transparent conductive film, or the like, or mounting it on an electronic device, it is preferable to form the first hardening on both sides of the transparent resin film. a resin layer and a second hardened resin layer.

硬化樹脂層係藉由使硬化型樹脂硬化所得之層。使用之樹脂可沒有特別限制地使用作成硬化樹脂層形成後之皮膜具有充分強度且具有透明性者,可舉例如:熱硬化型樹脂、紫外線硬化型樹脂、電子束硬化型樹脂、雙液混合型樹脂等。其中最好的是可藉由紫外線照射之硬化處理,以簡單之加工操作有效率地形成硬化樹脂層的紫外線硬化型樹脂。 The hardened resin layer is a layer obtained by hardening a hardening type resin. The resin to be used can be used without any particular limitation. The film after the formation of the cured resin layer has sufficient strength and transparency, and examples thereof include a thermosetting resin, an ultraviolet curing resin, an electron beam curing resin, and a two-liquid mixing type. Resin, etc. Among them, an ultraviolet curable resin which can efficiently form a hardened resin layer by a simple processing operation by a hardening treatment by ultraviolet irradiation is preferably used.

紫外線硬化型樹脂可舉例如:聚酯系、丙烯酸系、胺基甲酸酯系、醯胺系、聚矽氧系、環氧系等之各種樹脂,且包含紫外線硬化型之單體、寡聚物、聚合物等。宜使用之紫外線硬化型樹脂係丙烯酸系樹脂或環氧系樹脂,且以丙烯酸系樹脂較佳。 Examples of the ultraviolet curable resin include various resins such as polyester-based, acrylic-based, urethane-based, guanamine-based, polyfluorene-based, and epoxy-based resins, and include ultraviolet curable monomers and oligomers. Materials, polymers, etc. The ultraviolet curable resin to be used is an acrylic resin or an epoxy resin, and an acrylic resin is preferred.

硬化樹脂層可包含粒子。藉由在硬化樹脂層中摻合粒子,可在硬化樹脂層之表面形成隆起,並可對透明導電性薄膜適當地賦予耐沾黏性。 The hardened resin layer may contain particles. By blending the particles in the cured resin layer, ridges can be formed on the surface of the cured resin layer, and the tack resistance can be appropriately imparted to the transparent conductive film.

上述粒子可沒有特別限制地使用各種金屬氧化物、玻璃、塑膠等具有透明性者。可舉例如:氧化矽、氧化鋁、氧化鈦、氧化鋯、氧化鈣等之無機系粒子;由聚基丙烯酸甲酯、聚苯乙烯、聚胺基甲酸酯、丙烯酸系樹脂、丙烯酸-苯乙烯共聚物、苯基三聚氫二胺、三聚氰胺、聚碳 酸酯等之各種聚合物構成的交聯或未交聯有機系粒子或聚矽氧系粒子等。雖然前述粒子可適當選擇1種或2種以上來使用,但以有機系粒子為佳。由折射率之觀點來說,有機系粒子宜為丙烯酸系樹脂。 The particles may be transparent to various metal oxides, glass, plastics or the like without any particular limitation. For example, inorganic particles such as cerium oxide, aluminum oxide, titanium oxide, zirconium oxide, and calcium oxide; and polymethyl methacrylate, polystyrene, polyurethane, acrylic resin, acrylic acid-styrene Copolymer, phenyl tripolyhydrogen diamine, melamine, polycarbon Crosslinked or uncrosslinked organic particles or polyoxynized particles composed of various polymers such as acid esters. The above-mentioned particles may be used singly or in combination of two or more kinds, and organic particles are preferred. From the viewpoint of the refractive index, the organic particles are preferably acrylic resins.

粒子之眾數粒徑沒有特別限制,可考慮與硬化樹脂層隆起之突出度及隆起以外之平坦區域厚度等的關係等來適當設定。此外,由對透明導電性薄膜充分賦予耐沾黏性且充分抑制霧度上升之觀點來說,粒子之眾數粒徑宜為0.1至3μm,且以0.5至2.5μm更佳。此外,在本說明書中,「眾數粒徑」係顯示粒徑分布之極大值的粒徑,並藉由使用流動式粒子像分析裝置(Sysmex公司製,製品名「FPTA-3000S」),在預定條件下(保護液:乙酸乙酯,測量模式:HPF測量,測量方式:總計數)測量而求得。測量試料使用藉乙酸乙酯將粒子稀釋到1.0重量%,並使用超音波洗淨機均一地使之分散者。 The particle size of the particles is not particularly limited, and may be appropriately set in consideration of the relationship between the degree of protrusion of the cured resin layer and the thickness of the flat region other than the ridge. In addition, from the viewpoint of sufficiently imparting tack resistance to the transparent conductive film and sufficiently suppressing an increase in haze, the particle size of the particles is preferably from 0.1 to 3 μm, more preferably from 0.5 to 2.5 μm. In addition, in the present specification, the "mode particle diameter" is a particle diameter showing the maximum value of the particle size distribution, and a flow type particle image analyzer (product name "FPTA-3000S" manufactured by Sysmex Co., Ltd.) is used. It was determined under the predetermined conditions (protective solution: ethyl acetate, measurement mode: HPF measurement, measurement method: total count). The measurement sample was diluted to 1.0% by weight with ethyl acetate, and uniformly dispersed using an ultrasonic cleaner.

粒子之含量宜相對100重量份之樹脂組成的固形分為0.05至1.0重量份,且以0.1至0.5重量份較佳,並以0.1至0.2重量份更佳。若硬化樹脂層中之粒子含量少,有難以形成對硬化樹脂層表面充分賦予耐沾黏性或易滑性之隆起的傾向。另一方面,若粒子含量過多,有因粒子之光散射提高透明導電性薄膜之霧度,使觀看性降低之傾向。此外,若粒子含量過多,在形成硬化樹脂層時(塗布溶液時),有產生條紋,使觀看性受損,且透明導電膜之電氣特性不均一之情形。 The content of the particles is preferably 0.05 to 1.0 part by weight, and more preferably 0.1 to 0.5 part by weight, and more preferably 0.1 to 0.2 part by weight, per 100 parts by weight of the resin composition. When the content of the particles in the cured resin layer is small, it tends to be difficult to form a swell which sufficiently imparts adhesion resistance or slipperiness to the surface of the cured resin layer. On the other hand, when the content of the particles is too large, the haze of the transparent conductive film is increased by the light scattering of the particles, and the viewing property tends to be lowered. Further, when the content of the particles is too large, when the cured resin layer is formed (at the time of coating the solution), streaks are generated, the visibility is impaired, and the electrical properties of the transparent conductive film are not uniform.

硬化樹脂層係藉由以下方式製得,即:在透明樹脂薄膜上塗布包含各硬化型樹脂及依需要添加之粒子、交聯劑、起始劑、增感劑等的樹脂組成物,而在樹脂組成物包含溶劑時,進行溶劑之溶劑之乾燥,接著藉由使用熱、活化能量束或兩者中之任一者使之硬化。熱可使用空氣循環式烘箱或IR加熱器等習知手段,但不限於該等方法。活化能量束之例包括紫外線、電子束、伽馬射線等,但沒有特別限制。 The cured resin layer is obtained by coating a resin composition containing each of the curable resin and optionally added particles, a crosslinking agent, a starter, a sensitizer, and the like on the transparent resin film. When the resin composition contains a solvent, the solvent of the solvent is dried, and then hardened by using heat, an activated energy beam, or both. The heat may use conventional means such as an air circulation type oven or an IR heater, but is not limited to these methods. Examples of the activated energy beam include ultraviolet rays, electron beams, gamma rays, and the like, but are not particularly limited.

硬化樹脂層可使用上述材料,並藉由濕式塗布法(塗布法)等來製膜。例如,在形成含有氧化錫之氧化銦(ITO)作為透明導電膜之情形中,若基底層之硬化樹脂層的表面平滑,亦可縮短透明導電膜之結晶時間。由該觀點來說,硬化樹脂層宜藉由濕式塗布法來製膜。 As the hardened resin layer, the above materials can be used, and a film can be formed by a wet coating method (coating method) or the like. For example, in the case where indium oxide (ITO) containing tin oxide is formed as a transparent conductive film, if the surface of the cured resin layer of the underlayer is smooth, the crystallization time of the transparent conductive film can be shortened. From this point of view, the cured resin layer is preferably formed by a wet coating method.

硬化樹脂層之厚度宜為0.5μm至5μm,且以0.7μm至3μm較佳,並以0.8μm至2μm最佳。若硬化樹脂層之厚度在前述範圍內,可防止受傷或硬化樹脂層之硬化收縮時之薄膜縐縮,並可防止觸控面板等之觀看性惡化。 The thickness of the hardened resin layer is preferably from 0.5 μm to 5 μm, preferably from 0.7 μm to 3 μm, and most preferably from 0.8 μm to 2 μm. When the thickness of the cured resin layer is within the above range, the film collapse during the hardening and shrinkage of the damaged or cured resin layer can be prevented, and the deterioration of the visibility of the touch panel or the like can be prevented.

(透明導電膜) (transparent conductive film)

透明導電膜可設於透明樹脂薄膜上,但宜設於設在透明樹脂薄膜之其中一第一主面側的第一硬化樹脂層上。透明導電膜之構成材料沒有特別限制,只要包含無機物即可,且宜使用選自於由銦、錫、鋅、鎵、銻、鈦、矽、鋯、鎂、鋁、金、銀、銅、鈀、鎢構成之群組的至少一種金屬的金屬氧化物。該金屬氧化物亦可依需要進一步包含上述群組 所示之金屬原子。以使用例如含有氧化錫之氧化銦(ITO)、含有氧化銻之氧化銦(ATO)等為佳。 The transparent conductive film may be provided on the transparent resin film, but is preferably provided on the first hardened resin layer provided on one of the first main surface sides of the transparent resin film. The constituent material of the transparent conductive film is not particularly limited as long as it contains an inorganic substance, and is preferably selected from the group consisting of indium, tin, zinc, gallium, antimony, titanium, cerium, zirconium, magnesium, aluminum, gold, silver, copper, and palladium. a metal oxide of at least one metal of the group consisting of tungsten. The metal oxide may further comprise the above group as needed The metal atom shown. For example, indium oxide (ITO) containing tin oxide, indium oxide (ATO) containing cerium oxide, or the like is preferably used.

透明導電膜之厚度沒有特別限制,但為作成其表面電阻為1×103Ω/□以下之具有良好導電性的連續被膜,宜使厚度為10nm以上。若膜厚過厚,則使透明性降低等,因此宜為15至35nm,且以在20至30nm之範圍內更佳。若透明導電膜之厚度小於10nm,則膜表面之電阻升高,且難以成為連續被膜。此外,若透明導電膜之厚度超過35nm,則有使透明性降低等之情形。 The thickness of the transparent conductive film is not particularly limited, but a continuous film having a surface resistance of 1 × 10 3 Ω/□ or less and having good conductivity is preferably 10 nm or more. When the film thickness is too thick, the transparency is lowered, and the like, and therefore it is preferably 15 to 35 nm, and more preferably in the range of 20 to 30 nm. When the thickness of the transparent conductive film is less than 10 nm, the electric resistance of the surface of the film rises and it is difficult to form a continuous film. Further, when the thickness of the transparent conductive film exceeds 35 nm, the transparency may be lowered.

透明導電膜之形成方法沒有特別限制,可採用以往習知之方法。具體而言,可舉真空蒸鍍法、濺鍍法、離子植入法等之乾式製程為例。此外,可依據所需膜厚採用適當之方法。另外,在第一硬化樹脂層上形成透明導電膜的情形中,若透明導電膜藉由濺鍍法之乾式製程形成,透明導電膜之表面可大致維持其基底層之第一硬化樹脂層表面形狀。因此,在第一硬化樹脂層上存在隆起之情形中,亦可對透明導電膜表面理想地賦予耐沾黏性及易滑性。 The method for forming the transparent conductive film is not particularly limited, and a conventionally known method can be employed. Specifically, a dry process such as a vacuum deposition method, a sputtering method, or an ion implantation method can be exemplified. Further, an appropriate method can be employed depending on the desired film thickness. Further, in the case where a transparent conductive film is formed on the first hardened resin layer, if the transparent conductive film is formed by a dry process of a sputtering method, the surface of the transparent conductive film can substantially maintain the surface shape of the first hardened resin layer of the base layer. . Therefore, in the case where there is a bulge on the first cured resin layer, the surface of the transparent conductive film can be desirably imparted with adhesion resistance and slipperiness.

透明導電膜可依需要實施加熱退火處理(例如,在大氣環境下,在80至150℃下進行大約30至90分鐘)而結晶。藉由使透明導電膜結晶,除了可使透明導電膜低電阻化以外,亦可提高透明性及耐久性。使非晶質之透明導電膜轉化成晶質的手段沒有特別限制,但可使用空氣循環式烘箱及IR加熱器等。 The transparent conductive film can be crystallized by performing a heat annealing treatment (for example, at 80 to 150 ° C for about 30 to 90 minutes in an atmospheric environment) as needed. By crystallizing the transparent conductive film, in addition to lowering the resistance of the transparent conductive film, transparency and durability can be improved. The means for converting the amorphous transparent conductive film into crystalline form is not particularly limited, but an air circulating oven, an IR heater or the like can be used.

「晶質」之定義係將在透明樹脂薄膜上形成有透 明導電膜之透明導電性薄膜,浸漬於20℃、濃度5重量%之鹽酸15分鐘後,進行水洗、乾燥,並藉測試器測量15mm間之端子間電阻,且在端子間電阻不超過10kΩ之情形下,ITO膜停止轉化成晶質。 The definition of "crystal" will be formed on the transparent resin film. The transparent conductive film of the conductive film was immersed in hydrochloric acid at a concentration of 5 wt% at 20 ° C for 15 minutes, washed with water, dried, and measured for resistance between the terminals of 15 mm by a tester, and the resistance between the terminals was not more than 10 kΩ. In the case, the ITO film stops converting to crystalline form.

此外,透明導電膜可藉蝕刻等圖案化。關於透明導電膜之圖案化,可使用以往習知之光刻技術來進行。蝕刻液宜使用酸。酸可舉例如:氯化氫、溴化氫、硫酸、硝酸、磷酸等無機酸;乙酸等有機酸;及該等酸之混合物;以及該等酸之水溶液。例如,在靜電電容方式之觸控面板或矩陣式電阻膜方式之觸控面板使用的透明導電性薄膜中,透明導電膜宜圖案化成條狀。此外,藉蝕刻使透明導電膜圖案化時,若先進行透明導電膜之結晶,有時難以藉蝕刻圖案化。因此,透明導電膜之退火處理宜在使透明導電膜圖案化後進行。 Further, the transparent conductive film can be patterned by etching or the like. The patterning of the transparent conductive film can be carried out using a conventional photolithography technique. It is preferred to use an acid for the etching solution. The acid may, for example, be an inorganic acid such as hydrogen chloride, hydrogen bromide, sulfuric acid, nitric acid or phosphoric acid; an organic acid such as acetic acid; and a mixture of such acids; and an aqueous solution of the acids. For example, in a transparent conductive film used in a capacitive touch panel or a matrix resistive touch panel, the transparent conductive film is preferably patterned into strips. Further, when the transparent conductive film is patterned by etching, if the crystal of the transparent conductive film is first formed, it may be difficult to pattern by etching. Therefore, the annealing treatment of the transparent conductive film is preferably performed after patterning the transparent conductive film.

透明導電膜雖然在積層後述之承載薄膜時可為非晶質亦可為晶質,但若使用本發明之透明導電性薄膜積層體,則透明導電膜在透過黏著劑層將保護薄膜黏貼在非晶質狀態之透明導電性薄膜上後,亦可進行退火處理而轉化成晶質,因此可控制透明導電性薄膜積層體之捲曲產生。 The transparent conductive film may be amorphous or crystalline when the film is carried by a film to be described later. However, when the transparent conductive film laminate of the present invention is used, the transparent conductive film adheres the protective film to the non-adhesive layer. After the transparent conductive film in the crystalline state is subjected to annealing treatment and converted into crystal, it is possible to control the generation of curl of the transparent conductive thin film laminate.

(金屬奈米線) (metal nanowire)

前述透明導電膜可包含金屬奈米線。金屬奈米線係材質為金屬,形狀為針狀或線狀,而直徑為奈米尺寸之導電性物質。金屬奈米線可為直線狀,亦可為曲線狀。若使用 由金屬奈米線構成之透明導電膜,藉由使金屬奈米線呈網孔狀,即使少量之金屬奈米線亦可形成良好之電氣傳導通路,因此可製得電阻小之透明導電性薄膜。此外,藉由使金屬奈米線呈網孔狀,在網孔之間隙形成開口部,可製得透光率高之透明導電性薄膜。 The aforementioned transparent conductive film may comprise a metal nanowire. The metal nanowire is made of metal, and has a needle shape or a linear shape and a conductive material having a diameter of a nanometer. The metal nanowires may be linear or curved. If used A transparent conductive film composed of a metal nanowire can form a transparent conductive film having a small electrical resistance by forming a metal nanowire in a mesh shape, even if a small amount of the metal nanowire can form a good electrical conduction path. . Further, by forming the metal nanowires in a mesh shape and forming openings in the gaps between the meshes, a transparent conductive film having a high light transmittance can be obtained.

構成前述金屬奈米線之金屬只要是導電性高之金屬,就可使用任意之適當金屬。構成前述金屬奈米線之金屬可舉銀、金、銅、鎳等為例。此外,亦可使用以該等金屬進行了鍍敷處理(例如,鍍金處理)之材料。其中,由導電性之觀點來說,以銀、銅或金較佳,並以銀更佳。 Any metal constituting the metal nanowire can be any suitable metal as long as it is a metal having high conductivity. Examples of the metal constituting the metal nanowire include silver, gold, copper, nickel, and the like. Further, a material which has been subjected to a plating treatment (for example, a gold plating treatment) with the metals may also be used. Among them, silver, copper or gold is preferred from the viewpoint of conductivity, and silver is more preferable.

<透明導電性薄膜> <Transparent Conductive Film>

透明導電性薄膜具有透明樹脂薄膜及透明導電膜。在透明導電性薄膜中,在130℃下加熱90分鐘時之MD方向及TD方向的熱收縮率宜為0.3%以下,且以0.2%以下較佳,並以0.1%以下更佳。藉此,成為具優異加工性、透明性等之透明導電性薄膜,並可控制乾燥等加熱步驟後之捲曲產生量或方向,因此容易加工搬送透明導電性薄膜積層體。 The transparent conductive film has a transparent resin film and a transparent conductive film. In the transparent conductive film, the heat shrinkage ratio in the MD direction and the TD direction when heated at 130 ° C for 90 minutes is preferably 0.3% or less, more preferably 0.2% or less, and still more preferably 0.1% or less. In this way, the transparent conductive film having excellent workability and transparency can be controlled, and the amount or direction of curling after the heating step such as drying can be controlled. Therefore, the transparent conductive thin film layered body can be easily processed and transported.

(光學調整層) (optical adjustment layer)

在第一硬化樹脂層與透明導電膜之間,可進一步包含一層以上之光學調整層。在透明導電性薄膜之透射率上升或透明導電膜圖案化之情形中,光學調整層可減少圖案殘留之圖案部與圖案未殘留之開口部間的透射率差或反射率差,可用以製得具優異觀看性之透明導電性薄膜。 Between the first hardened resin layer and the transparent conductive film, one or more optical adjustment layers may be further included. In the case where the transmittance of the transparent conductive film is increased or the transparent conductive film is patterned, the optical adjustment layer can reduce the transmittance difference or the reflectance difference between the pattern portion where the pattern remains and the opening portion where the pattern does not remain, and can be used to obtain A transparent conductive film with excellent visibility.

For example, when a pattern wiring is formed by removing a part of the surface of the metal layer by etching or the like, the thickness of the metal layer can be appropriately set so that the formed pattern wiring has a desired pattern. resistance. Therefore, the thickness of the metal layer is preferably from 0.01 to 200 μm, and more preferably from 0.05 to 100 μm. If the thickness of the metal layer is within the above range, the resistance of the pattern wiring is not excessively high, and the power consumption of the device is not excessive.
