Definitions
- the present invention relates to an optical film useful for an image display device such as a liquid crystal display device, and a protective film for a polarizing plate, a polarizing plate, and an image display device using the same.
- a polarizing plate used in a liquid crystal display device generally uses a polarizing element power of a stretched polyvinyl alcohol to which a dichroic dye such as iodine (polyiodide ion) or a dichroic dye is adsorbed. Thus, it is configured to be sandwiched by a triacetyl cellulose film.
- a triacetyl cellulose film is a film having high adhesion to such a polarizing element and excellent in optical isotropy.
- the viewing angle dependence of the polarizing plate is caused by the properties of the polarizing element, but is greatly changed by the optical properties of the protective film used.
- Triacetyl celluloska Excellent in optical isotropy is in the film plane, and does not have excellent isotropy in the thickness direction. Therefore, there is a problem that the viewing angle dependence of the polarizing plate is further deteriorated. Therefore, in order to solve such a problem, a protective film which is more isotropic also in the thickness direction, so that a retardation is not generated as much as possible when the film is tilted more than the triacetyl cellulose film is required. It was desired.
- Patent Document 1 In order to solve such a problem, as disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 08-62419 (Patent Document 1), instead of a triacetyl cellulose film, a polycarbonate resin having an optimized molecular weight and a glass transition point is used. The used protective film has been proposed.
- Patent Document 2 Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 08-5836 (Patent Document 2) discloses a protective film using a thermoplastic saturated norbornene resin. System is disclosed. Furthermore, Patent No.
- Patent Document 3 discloses a method in which an acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is provided on a norbornene-based protective film, and the adhesiveness between the protective film and the polarizing element is improved by heat-pressing the polarizing element film. ing. Further, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2003-193013 (Patent Document 4) and Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2003-49141 (Patent Document 5) disclose the use of a soft and excellent viscoelastic adhesive as an adhesive between a polarizing plate and a liquid crystal cell. There is disclosed a method for improving light leakage by relieving microscopic stress caused by contraction of a base film.

- Patent Document 3 Patent No. 3056316
- Patent Document 4 JP 2003-193013 A
- Patent Document 5 JP-A-2003-49141
- a protective film for a polarizing plate is required to reduce the viewing angle dependence of the polarizing plate and to improve light leakage.
- the method using a polycarbonate-based resin disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 08-62419 is excellent in chemical stability under high-temperature conditions and high-temperature and high-humidity atmospheres. There is a problem that adhesion to the polarizing element is poor, and light leakage cannot be solved.
- the thermoplastic saturated norbornene resin disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 08-5836 has a problem in that the adhesiveness to a polarizing element by a conventional polyvinyl alcohol-based adhesive is poor.
- the conventional method has not sufficiently solved the above-mentioned problems, and has a good adhesion to the polarizing element film as good as or better than that of triacetyl cellulose. Also, a protective film that has excellent optical isotropy and can solve light leakage even in a high-temperature, high-humidity atmosphere has been desired.
- the present inventors have conducted intensive studies to solve the above-mentioned problems, and as a result, have been found that a hydroxyl group is substituted by an aliphatic acyl group having 5 to 20 carbon atoms, and the degree of substitution of the hydroxyl group is 0 per monomer unit of cellulose.

- the cellulose derivative has, as a substituent on a hydroxyl group, the aliphatic acyl group (A) and another substituent (B), and the substituent (B) is other than the aliphatic acyl group (A).
- the difference between the phase difference value measured from the front and the phase difference value measured at a 50-degree tilt is within the range of 0 to 10 nm.
- An optical film produced from the cellulose derivative of the present invention or a composition containing the cellulose derivative and having an in-plane birefringence in the range of 0.0005 to 0.0005 has excellent optical isotropy, Since the difference between the retardation value and the retardation value when tilted is small, it is suitable as a protective film for a polarizing element. Also used as a protective film for polarizing plates In such a case, the phase difference due to the residual stress of the polarizing element, which is excellent in adhesion to the polarizing element, is hardly generated by force, so that light leakage of the polarizing plate can be improved.
- a polarizing plate manufactured by using the optical film of the present invention as a protective film cannot be used for an image display device manufactured by using the polarizing plate, which is less susceptible to peeling of the protective film and light leakage. Also, when used under conditions of high temperature or high temperature and high humidity, display unevenness does not easily occur and excellent contrast can be obtained.
