液晶表示装置の偏光板用保護フィルムとして光学フィルムが用いられる場合は、吸湿による寸法変化により光学フィルムにムラや位相差値の変化が発生してしまい、コントラストの低下や色むらといった問題を発生させる。特に屋外で使用される液晶表示装置に用いられる偏光板保護フィルムであれば、上記の問題は顕著となる。しかし、上記の条件における寸法変化率(%)が0.5%未満であれば、十分な低吸湿性を示す光学フィルムであると評価できる。更に、0.3%未満であることが好ましい。
光学フィルム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。
本発明の光学フィルム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(A)、セルロースエステル樹脂(B)、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。
アクリル樹脂(A)、セルロースエステル樹脂(B)に対する良溶媒を主とする有機溶に、溶解釜中で該アクリル樹脂(A)、セルロースエステル樹脂(B)、場合によってアクリル粒子(C)、その他の添加剤を攪拌しながら溶解しドープを形成する工程、或いは該アクリル樹脂(A)、セルロースエステル樹脂(B)溶液に、場合によってアクリル粒子(C)溶液、その他の添加剤溶液を混合して主溶解液であるドープを形成する工程である。
ドープを、送液ポンプ(例えば、加圧型定量ギヤポンプ)を通して加圧ダイ30に送液し、無限に移送する無端の金属ベルト31、例えばステンレスベルト、或いは回転する金属ドラム等の金属支持体上の流延位置に、加圧ダイスリットからドープを流延する工程である。
ウェブ(流延用支持体上にドープを流延し、形成されたドープ膜を「ウェブ」と呼ぶ。)を流延用支持体上で加熱し、溶媒を蒸発させる工程である。
金属支持体上で溶媒が蒸発したウェブを、剥離位置で剥離する工程である。剥離されたウェブは次工程に送られる。
尚、残留溶媒量を測定する際の加熱処理とは、115℃で1時間の加熱処理を行うことを表す。
剥離後、ウェブを乾燥装置内に複数配置したロールに交互に通して搬送する乾燥装置35、及び/またはクリップでウェブの両端をクリップして搬送するテンター延伸装置34を用いて、ウェブを乾燥する。
・幅手方向に延伸-幅手方向に延伸-流延方向に延伸-流延方向に延伸
また、同時2軸延伸には、一方向に延伸し、もう一方を、張力を緩和して収縮させる場合も含まれる。同時2軸延伸の好ましい延伸倍率は幅手方向、長手方向ともに×1.01倍~×1.5倍の範囲でとることができる。
ウェブ中の残留溶媒量が2質量%以下となってから光学フィルムとして巻き取り機37により巻き取る工程であり、残留溶媒量を0.4質量%以下にすることにより寸法安定性の良好なフィルムを得ることができる。特に0.00~0.10質量%で巻き取ることが好ましい。
本発明の光学フィルムを偏光板用保護フィルムとして用いる場合、偏光板は一般的な方法で作製することができる。本発明の光学フィルムの裏面側に粘着層を設け、沃素溶液中に浸漬延伸して作製した偏光子の少なくとも一方の面に、貼り合わせることが好ましい。
本発明の光学フィルムを貼合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が、特に大型の液晶表示装置やデジタルサイネージ等の屋外用途の液晶表示装置に好ましく用いられる。本発明に係る偏光板は、前記粘着層等を介して液晶セルに貼合する。
