Definitions
- the present invention relates to a polyforce monoponate oriented film and a retardation film. More specifically, the present invention relates to a poly-ponate-based oriented film suitably used as a retardation film of a liquid crystal display device and the like, and a retardation film as its application.
- Retardation films are used in STN (super twisted nematic) systems of liquid crystal display devices, etc., and are used to solve problems such as color compensation and viewing angle expansion.
- polycarbonate, polyvinyl alcohol, polysulfone, poly-ethersulfone, amorphous polyolefin and the like have been used as a material of a retardation film for color compensation.
- a retardation film material for expanding a viewing angle a polymer liquid crystal, a discotic liquid crystal, or the like is used in addition to the above materials.
- the vertical alignment type liquid crystal display device in which the liquid crystal is aligned almost perpendicularly to the substrate when the voltage is off, has already been used in monitors and televisions because of its high contrast and wide viewing angle.
- the importance of using a retardation film to obtain a particularly wide viewing angle is described in pages 845 to 848 of 1997 Society for info rm ation displ ay inte rna ti ona ls ymp osiumdi ge stofte chnical pape rs. I have.
- Retardation films composed of polycarbonate homopolymers made from bisphenol A as a starting material have already been widely used in the STN method described above.
- liquid crystal display devices of the vertical alignment type have higher quality than the STN type, sufficient display quality cannot be obtained with retardation films using polycarbonate materials used in the conventional STN type. That there is a problem won. That is, the stress in the step of bonding the retardation film using the polycarbonate homopolymer to the polarizing film, the stress in the step of bonding the laminated polarizing film obtained in this step and the liquid crystal display, or under high temperature or high temperature and humidity.
- cellulose acetate, polyolefin, polyacrylonitrile and the like are known as a material for the retardation film.
- a retardation film using cellulose acetate is used when a high degree of orientation is required, especially in a plane, because the stability of the molecular orientation is poor due to the high water absorption of the cellulose acetate. It is difficult to suppress the variation of anisotropy in the plane for the same reason.
- Polyolefins having a cyclic skeleton such as a norpolpolene skeleton generally have a low optical constant, but also a small intrinsic birefringence, so that high-magnification stretching is required to obtain the necessary retardation as a retardation film. .
- the film is poor in impact resistance, handling properties and stretchability, and the film is easily cracked and ruptured. There are many problems in use and productivity.
- polypolycarbonate using an aromatic dihydroxy compound (bisphenol) in which two aromatic rings are bonded via a certain type of bonding group has an appropriate degree of flexibility. It has the advantage of having a high glass transition point.
- bisphenol aromatic dihydroxy compound
- homopolymers having a bisphenol A skeleton widely used in the STN mode have no problem in handling and stretchability, but have the above-mentioned frame problem and require high quality. Used for vertical alignment type liquid crystal display It is difficult to do.
- JP-A-7-246666 and JP-A-6-82642 a retardation film composed of a poly-one-ponate force using a dihydroxy component other than the bisphenol A skeleton is proposed. Have been.
- Polycarbonate can be divided into two groups: aliphatic and aromatic.
- aliphatic polycarbonates are not used as materials for retardation films because of their low photoelastic constant, low glass transition temperature, and poor productivity.
- One of the causes of the picture frame phenomenon is that stress generated by shrinkage of the polarizing plate propagates through the adhesive layer to the retardation film, and the phase difference of the retardation film changes. Therefore, a retardation film having a lower photoelastic constant is not a necessary and sufficient condition because the change in retardation with respect to stress is smaller, but is considered to be preferable.
- aromatic polypolypropylene has good productivity, and the presence of aromatic rings makes it easy to raise the glass transition temperature.
- the photoelastic constant is relatively large. Attempts have been made to reduce the photoelastic constant of aromatic polycarbonate films, and there have been proposals for several homopolymers and copolymers.

- liquid crystal display devices are used at Since the temperature applied to the retardation film on a crystal display device is about ⁇ 50 ° C around room temperature, the more the device is used and the more the process temperature is far from the glass transition temperature, the more the molecular motion near room temperature will be.
