After the polarizing plate is manufactured, it is usually attached to a display of various sizes with a protective film or a release film.

The present invention relates to a system for manufacturing a polarizing film, a method of manufacturing a polarizing film, and a polarizing film manufactured therefrom.

According to one aspect of the present invention, a system for manufacturing a polarizing film is provided, which includes a first humidification and heating device. The first humidification and heating device is used for simultaneously humidifying and heating a polarizing film precursor.

According to another aspect of the present invention, a method of manufacturing a polarizing film is provided, which includes a first humidification and heating step. The first humidification and heating step is to simultaneously humidify and heat a polarizing film precursor.

According to yet another aspect of the present invention, a polarizing film is provided, which is manufactured by a manufacturing method. The method includes a first humidification and heating step. The first humidification and heating step is to simultaneously humidify and heat a polarizing film precursor. In order to simultaneously humidify and heat a polarizing film precursor.

In order to have a better understanding of the above and other aspects of the present invention, the following specific examples are given in conjunction with the accompanying drawings to describe in detail as follows:

The embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the following figures are not drawn to scale. In fact, the size of elements may be arbitrarily enlarged or reduced in order to clearly show the characteristics of the present invention. In the specification and drawings, the same or similar elements will be represented by similar symbols.

Many different implementation methods or examples are disclosed below to implement different features of the present invention. The following describes specific elements and examples of their arrangement to illustrate the present invention. Of course, these are only examples and should not be used to limit the scope of the present invention. In addition, repeated reference signs or labels may be used in different embodiments. These repetitions are only used to describe the present disclosure simply and clearly, and do not represent a specific relationship between the different embodiments and/or structures discussed.

Furthermore, it should be understood that there may be additional operation steps before, during, or after the method is performed, and some of the described operation steps may be replaced or deleted in the method of other embodiments.

Please refer to Figure 1, which is used to illustrate the system for manufacturing the polarizing film 100' and the manufacturing method of the polarizing film 100'. The polarizing film precursor 100 can be transported to the process tank 200 by a conveyor device including, for example, a roller, and then the first humidification and heating device 300, then the second humidification and heating device 400, and then the drying device 500 for processing, thereby obtaining Polarizing film 100'. The rollers can follow the transportation of the polarizing film precursor 100 and rotate compliantly. The polarizing film precursor 100 may be a polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) film. Polyvinyl alcohol can be formed by saponifying polyvinyl acetate. In some embodiments, polyvinyl acetate may be a monomer of vinyl acetate or a copolymer of vinyl acetate and other monomers. The above-mentioned other monomers may be unsaturated carboxylic acids, olefins, unsaturated sulfonic acids, vinyl ethers, and the like. In other embodiments, the polyvinyl alcohol may be modified polyvinyl alcohol, for example, polyvinylformal modified by aldehydes, polyvinyl acetal or polyvinyl butyral ( Polyvinylbutyral) and so on.

The process tank 200 may include one or more swelling tanks, dyeing tanks, cross-linking tanks, color correction tanks, or washing tanks. The polarizing film precursor 100 can be swelled through a swelling tank. The polarizing film precursor 100 can be dyed through a dyeing tank. The polarizing film precursor 100 can be cross-linked through a cross-linking groove, so that the polarizing film precursor 100 is subjected to water resistance treatment or its color tone is adjusted. The bath solution in the cross-linking bath may contain boric acid, potassium iodide, zinc iodide, or a combination of the above. Boric acid is the cross-linking agent, and potassium iodide and zinc iodide are used for optical adjustment. The hue of the polarizing film can be adjusted by changing its concentration. When performing the cross-linking treatment, the polarizing film precursor 100 may also be subjected to the stretching treatment at the same time. The stretching process can be produced by the difference in the conveying rate between the conveying devices disposed at the entrance and the exit of the process tank 200, for example, by using the method of the difference in the peripheral speed of the rollers. The polarizing film precursor 100 may be subjected to color correction processing through the color correction tank, so as to adjust the polarizing film precursor 100 to achieve the desired hue of the polarizing film 100'. The bath liquid in the complementary color bath can have a similar or even the same composition as the bath liquid in the cross-linking bath. The polarizing film precursor 100 formed after passing through the cross-linking tank and/or the complementary color tank can pass through a washing tank (for example, a water washing tank) to wash the reaction solution adhering to the surface of the polarizing film precursor 100.

Then, the polarizing film precursor 100 is transferred to the first humidification and heating device 300 to perform the first humidification and heating step, which humidifies and heats the polarizing film precursor 100 at the same time. Before being conveyed to the drying device 500 for drying, humidifying and heating the stretched polarizing film precursor 100 can increase the transmittance Ty and the degree of polarization Py of the polarizing film 100 ′. The heating treatment performed on the polarizing film precursor 100 here can be regarded as a pre-heating treatment before being conveyed to the drying device 500 for drying, which can reduce the temperature difference with the heating temperature of the drying device 500, and avoid undesirable caused by the temperature difference. The deviation of the structural properties of the polarizing film can improve the product yield of the polarizing film 100'. The first humidification and heating device 300 includes a first roller 302 and a first liquid tank 304. The first liquid tank 304 contains a first solution 306. The opposite surfaces of the first roller 302 are in contact with the first solution 306 and the first polarizing film surface 100S1 of the polarizing film precursor 100 respectively, so that the first solution 306 attached to the first roller 302 from the first liquid tank 304 can be Rolling along the first roller 302 and conveying to the first polarizing film surface 100S1 of the polarizing film precursor 100, so that the first solution 306 is applied to the first polarizing film surface 100S1 to humidify the polarizing film precursor 100. Coating the first solution 306 on the surface 100S1 of the first polarizing film by adhesion method can prevent the problem of incomplete drying of the polarizing film precursor 100 in the drying device 500 caused by excessive solution, and improve the drying efficiency of the polarizing film precursor 100. In addition, it can also prevent too much solution from being absorbed by the polarizing film precursor 100 and affecting the properties of the polarizing film 100'. In this way, the product yield of the polarizing film 100' can be improved. In an embodiment, the first roller 302 may be a heating roller with a heating function, and the temperature is, for example, 30 to 70° C., in one embodiment, the temperature is, for example, 40 to 60° C. In one embodiment, the first liquid tank 304 has a heating function, which can heat the first solution 306 at a temperature of, for example, 30~70°C. In one embodiment, the temperature is, for example, 40~60°C. The first solution 306 of the film reaches the function of heating the polarizing film precursor 100 by contacting the polarizing film precursor 100.

Then, in another embodiment, the polarizing film precursor 100 can be transported to the second humidifying and heating device 400 to perform a second humidifying and heating step, which humidifies and heats the polarized film precursor 100 at the same time. Before being conveyed to the drying device 500 for drying, humidifying and heating the stretched polarizing film precursor 100 can increase the transmittance Ty and the degree of polarization Py of the polarizing film 100 ′. The heating treatment performed on the polarizing film precursor 100 here can be regarded as a pre-heating treatment before being conveyed to the drying device 500 for drying, which can reduce the temperature difference with the heating temperature of the drying device 500, and avoid undesirable caused by the temperature difference. The deviation of the structural properties of the polarizing film can improve the product yield of the polarizing film 100'. The second humidification and heating device 400 includes a second roller 402 and a second liquid tank 404. The second liquid tank 404 contains a second solution 406. The opposite surfaces of the second roller 402 are in contact with the second solution 406 and the second polarizing film surface 100S2 of the polarizing film precursor 100 respectively. In this way, the second solution 406 attached to the second roller 402 from the second liquid tank 404 can be Rolling along the second roller 402 and conveying to the second polarizing film surface 100S2 of the polarizing film precursor 100, so that the second solution 406 is applied to the second polarizing film surface 100S2 to humidify the polarizing film precursor 100. Coating the second solution 406 on the surface 100S2 of the second polarizing film by adhesion method can prevent the problem of incomplete drying of the polarizing film precursor 100 in the drying device 500 caused by excessive solution, and improve the drying efficiency of the polarizing film precursor 100. In addition, it can also prevent too much solution from being absorbed by the polarizing film precursor 100 and affecting the properties of the polarizing film 100'. In this way, the product yield of the polarizing film 100' can be improved. In an embodiment, the second roller 402 may be a heating roller with a heating function, and the temperature is, for example, 30~70°C. In one embodiment, the temperature is, for example, 40~60°C. In one embodiment, the second liquid tank 404 has a heating function, and can heat the second solution 406 at a temperature of, for example, 30~70°C. In one embodiment, the temperature is, for example, 40~60°C. The second solution 406 of the film reaches the function of heating the polarizing film precursor 100 by contacting the polarizing film precursor 100.

The first solution 306 of the first liquid tank 304 and/or the second solution 406 of the second liquid tank 404 may contain alcohol and/or water. The first solution 306 of the first liquid tank 304 and/or the second solution 406 of the second liquid tank 404 may be an antistatic solution, containing a solvent and an antistatic agent, attached to the first polarizing film surface 100S1 of the polarizing film precursor 100 And/or the second polarizing film surface 100S2 can avoid electrostatic adsorption, reduce or prevent impurities from adhering to it, thereby improving the quality of the polarizing film 100'. The solvent package of the antistatic solution may contain alcohol and water. In one embodiment, assuming that the solvent contains 100% alcohol and water, the weight percentage of the antistatic agent is about 0.1 to 5% of the solvent, which can achieve an excellent antistatic effect. Taking the solvent as 100%, in one embodiment, the ratio of alcohol and water can be between 1:1~3:7, and the composition of 3:7 has a better antistatic effect (compared to the former Word).

The antistatic agent is, for example, an ionic compound having an organic cation and having a melting point of 25°C or more and 50°C or less. By using an ionic compound with a melting point of 25°C or higher, that is, an ionic compound that is solid at room temperature, changes in antistatic performance over time can be suppressed, in other words, antistatic performance can be maintained for a long time. From the viewpoint of long-term stability of antistatic performance, the ionic compound is more preferably one having a melting point of 30°C or higher, or 35°C or higher.

Examples of cationic components constituting the ionic compound include imidazolium cations, pyridinium cations, ammonium cations, sulfonium cations, and phosphonium cations. Among these ions, when used in the solvent of the antistatic solution of the embodiment of the present invention, from the viewpoint that they are not easily charged when adhering to the polarizing film precursor 100, pyridinium cations or imidazolium cations are preferred .
