Definitions
- the present invention relates to an optical film, an antireflection film, a polarizing plate, and a liquid crystal display device.
- a display device such as a cathode ray tube display (CRT), a plasma display (PDP), an electroluminescence display (ELD), or a liquid crystal display (LCD) has a hard coat layer for the purpose of enhancing surface protection.
- An optical film (hereinafter referred to as “hard coat film”) is provided on the outermost surface.
- Such a hard coat film is a hard film made of a photopolymerizable resin such as a thermosetting resin or an ultraviolet curable resin on a transparent film substrate such as a cellulose acetate resin (mainly triacetyl cellulose) or polyethylene terephthalate. It is produced by providing a coat layer.
- a hard coat film requires a certain thickness of the hard coat layer from the viewpoint of mechanical strength (pencil hardness, scratch resistance), and in recent years, a film having a high pencil hardness (high hardness) has been desired.
- high hardness when the film thickness is increased, the pencil hardness is improved, but there is a problem that the adhesion between the hard coat layer and the transparent film substrate cannot be obtained.
- an optical laminate comprising a hard coat layer on a light transmissive resin substrate, wherein the hard coat layer has (1) a weight average molecular weight of 1,000 to 100,000, and It is cured by containing a resin having two or more radical polymerizable functional groups and (2) a resin having a weight average molecular weight of 100 or more and 1000 or less and having one or more cationic polymerizable functional groups.
- An optical layered body that is a layer and in which the resin (2) penetrates into the light-transmitting resin base material and is cured is disclosed (see Patent Document 1).
- the technique interface reflection and interference fringes are prevented, shrinkage defects of the light-transmitting resin base material are suppressed, visibility is improved, and curl is improved while having sufficient scratch resistance. It is suppressed and has excellent adhesion between the light-transmitting resin base material and the hard coat layer.
- the adhesion after the light irradiation test after the durability test such as the cycle thermo test is still insufficient, and the surface hardness is greatly reduced.
- a liquid crystal display device is composed of a liquid crystal cell in which a transparent electrode, a liquid crystal layer, a color filter, etc. are sandwiched between glass plates, and two polarizing plates provided on both sides thereof.
- the element also referred to as “polarizing film” or “polarizing film”
- polarizing plate protective film a cellulose triacetate film is usually used.
- PMMA polymethyl methacrylate
- liquid crystal display device As the liquid crystal display device is enlarged as described above, and the applications to the outdoors are expanded, it is necessary to increase the amount of light of the backlight so that the image can be fully recognized even outdoors. It was used under harsh conditions, and heat resistance at high temperatures and longer-term heat resistance were required.
- the PMMA film has poor heat resistance and has a problem that its shape changes when used at high temperatures or for long-term use.
- This problem was an important issue not only as a physical property of a single film but also in a polarizing plate and a display device using such a film. That is, in the liquid crystal display device, the polarizing plate curls as the film is deformed, causing a problem that the entire panel is warped.
- the problem due to film deformation is also a problem on the backlight side, but when used at the position on the viewing side surface, the design phase difference changes due to deformation, so the viewing angle changes and the color changes. The problem arises.
- the acrylic resin film is fragile and brittle when compared with a cellulose ester film and the like, and is difficult to handle. In particular, it is difficult to stably produce an optical film for a large liquid crystal display device. It was.
- PC polycarbonate
- Other methods for improving heat resistance include a method of introducing an alicyclic alkyl group as a copolymer component of an acrylic resin, a method of forming a cyclic structure in a molecular main chain by intramolecular cyclization reaction, etc. (For example, refer to Patent Documents 3 and 4).
- the film is not sufficiently brittle, and it is difficult to produce an optical film used for a large liquid crystal display device.
- the optical film promotes the deformation of the panel, and consequently the change in the phase difference cannot be suppressed, and the problem of the change in the viewing angle and the change in the color tone also occurs.
- Patent Document 5 As a technique for improving moisture resistance and heat resistance, a resin in which an acrylic resin is combined with an impact-resistant acrylic rubber-methyl methacrylate copolymer or butyl-modified acetylcellulose has been proposed (see, for example, Patent Document 5).
- PVA polyvinyl alcohol
- Patent Document 6 it is necessary to perform a saponification treatment when an optical film is bonded to a polarizer to form a polarizing plate, but an optical film made of a cellulose ester resin. Compared to the above, hydrophilization by saponification is not promoted, and there is a problem that the adhesion between the polarizer and the optical film is deteriorated in the durability test and the like.
- the refractive index of the backcoat layer is lowered, and a refractive index difference from the optical film itself is generated, resulting in an optical two-layer configuration.
- the adhesion between the backcoat layer and the film substrate is not strong and the strength is weak, there is a drawback that the optical film provided with the backcoat layer is easily damaged when being rolled.
- the present invention has been made in view of the above problems and situations, and its solution is excellent in adhesion and surface hardness between a film base and a functional layer such as a hard coat layer, and brittleness is improved. And it is providing the optical film which is transparent and has low hygroscopicity and high heat resistance. Furthermore, it is providing the antireflection film, polarizing plate, and display apparatus using the same. That is, in particular, it is to provide an optical film that is suitably used as a polarizing plate protective film in a large-sized liquid crystal display device or a liquid crystal display device for outdoor use.

各層を塗布する前に表面処理してもよい。表面処理方法としては、洗浄法、アルカリ処理法、フレームプラズマ処理法、高周波放電プラズマ法、電子ビーム法、イオンビーム法、スパッタリング法、酸処理、コロナ処理法、大気圧グロー放電プラズマ法等が挙げられる。
本発明の特徴の一つであるフィルム基材について説明する。本発明に係るフィルム基材は、熱可塑性アクリル樹脂とセルロースエステル樹脂とを含有し、熱可塑性アクリル樹脂とセルロースエステル樹脂の含有質量比が、熱可塑性アクリル樹脂:セルロースエステル樹脂=95:5~50:50であることを特徴とする。前記範囲で熱可塑性アクリル樹脂とセルロースエステル樹脂を併用し、該範囲のフィルム基材上にフィルム基材の熱可塑性アクリル樹脂を含有したハードコート層を設けることで、本発明の目的効果が発揮される。
フィルム基材としての熱可塑性アクリル樹脂とは、後述するセルロースエステル樹脂と相溶状態で含有する樹脂である。具体的には、ハードコート層で前述した化合物を用いことができる。また、フィルム基材に用いられるアクリル樹脂は、目的効果が良好に発揮されることやセルロースエステル樹脂との相溶性から、重量平均分子量(Mw)が、80000~1000000の範囲内であることが好ましい。さらには、110000~500000の範囲内であることが好ましい。
セルロースエステル樹脂は、脆性の改善やアクリル樹脂と相溶させたときに透明性の観点から、アシル基の総置換度(T)が2.0~3.0、炭素数が3~7のアシル基の置換度が1.2~3.0であり、炭素数3~7のアシル基の置換度は、2.0~3.0であることが好ましい。即ち、本発明において用いられるセルロースエステル樹脂は炭素数が3~7のアシル基により置換されたセルロースエステル樹脂であり、具体的には、プロピオニル、ブチリル等が好ましく用いられるが、特にプロピオニル基が好ましく用いられる。
本発明に係るフィルム基材の脆性の改善や優れた鉛筆硬度が得られる点から、アクリル粒子を含有することが好ましい。
フィルム基材には、組成物の流動性や柔軟性を向上するために、可塑剤を併用することも可能である。可塑剤としては、フタル酸エステル系、脂肪酸エステル系、トリメリット酸エステル系、リン酸エステル系、ポリエステル系、あるいはエポキシ系等が挙げられる。この中で、ポリエステル系とフタル酸エステル系の可塑剤が好ましく用いられる。ポリエステル系可塑剤は、フタル酸ジオクチルなどのフタル酸エステル系の可塑剤に比べて非移行性や耐抽出性に優れるが、可塑化効果や相溶性にはやや劣る。
フィルム基材の製膜方法の例を説明するが、本発明はこれに限定されるものではない。フィルム基材の製膜方法としては、インフレーション法、T-ダイ法、カレンダー法、切削法、流延法、エマルジョン法、ホットプレス法等の製造法が使用できる。
フィルム基材を溶液流延法で製造する場合のドープを形成するのに有用な有機溶媒は、アクリル樹脂、セルロースエステル樹脂、その他の添加剤を同時に溶解するものであれば制限なく用いることができる。
本発明のハードコートフィルム又は反射防止フィルムは、偏光板保護フィルム用として用いることが好ましい。偏光板保護フィルムとして用いる場合、偏光板の作製方法は特に限定されず、一般的な方法で作製することができる。得られたハードコートフィルム又は反射防止フィルムをアルカリ処理し、ポリビニルアルコールフィルムを沃素溶液中に浸漬延伸して作製した偏光子の両面に完全鹸化ポリビニルアルコール水溶液を用いて、偏光子の両面に偏光板保護フィルムを貼り合わせる方法があり、少なくとも片面に本発明のハードコートフィルム又は反射防止フィルムが偏光子に直接貼合することが好ましい。
本発明のハードコートフィルム又は反射防止フィルムを用いた偏光板について述べる。偏光板は一般的な方法で作製することができる。本発明のハードコートフィルム又は反射防止フィルムの裏面側をアルカリ鹸化処理し、処理したハードコートフィルム又は反射防止フィルムを、ヨウ素溶液中に浸漬延伸して作製した偏光膜の少なくとも一方の面に、完全鹸化型ポリビニルアルコール水溶液を用いて貼り合わせることが好ましい。もう一方の面に該ハードコートフィルム又は反射防止フィルムを用いても、別の偏光板保護フィルムを用いてもよい。本発明のハードコートフィルム又は反射防止フィルムに対して、もう一方の面に用いられる偏光板保護フィルムは面内リターデーションRoが590nmで、20~70nm、厚さ方向リターデーションRtが100~400nmの位相差を有する光学補償フィルム(位相差フィルム)を用いることが好ましい。これらは例えば、特開2002-71957号、特願2002-155395号記載の方法で作製することができる。又は、更にディスコチック液晶等の液晶化合物を配向させて形成した光学異方層を有している光学補償フィルムを兼ねる偏光板保護フィルムを用いることが好ましい。例えば、特開2003-98348号記載の方法で光学異方性層を形成することができる。或いは、特開2003-12859号記載のリターデーションRoが590nmで0~5nm、Rtが-20~+20nmの無配向フィルムも好ましく用いられる。
本発明のハードコートフィルム又は反射防止フィルムを用いて作製した偏光板を液晶表示装置に組み込むことによって、種々の視認性に優れた液晶表示装置を作製することができる。本発明のハードコートフィルム又は反射防止フィルムは前記偏光板に組み込まれ、反射型、透過型、半透過型LCD又はTN型、STN型、OCB型、HAN型、VA型(PVA型、MVA型)、IPS型、OCB型等の各種駆動方式の液晶表示装置で好ましく用いられる。
