- the movement stability of the original film from the clip-in part (CIL, CIR) to the preheating zone Z1 is improved.
- the straight line is perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the original film, in particular when the timing of gripping the peripheral edge of the original film is not simultaneous between the left clip and the right clip.
- the original film supplied to the heating and stretching apparatus 1 is heated to a temperature at which it can be stretched in the subsequent stretching zone (pre-stretching zone Z2 and post-stretching zone Z3). If stretching is started with insufficient heating of the original film, the original film may break. For this reason, for example, the temperature setting temperature control of the preheating zone Z1 in the heating and drawing apparatus or the temperature of the atmosphere through which the original film passes in the preheating zone Z1 is set to a temperature at which the stretching can be performed.
- the temperature to which the original film is heated in the preheating zone Z1 is preferably equal to or slightly higher than the drawing temperature of the original film in the drawing zone Z1.
- the preheating zone Z1 essentially no stretching of the original film is performed.
- heating may cause slack or contraction of the original film, and in order to remove the slack or contraction, the distance between adjacent clips in each clip group (the distance between clips in the longitudinal direction of the original film) and / or The spacing between the clip groups (the spacing between the clips in the width direction of the original film) can be adjusted.
- the drawing zone has a first section that sequentially decreases the traveling speed v1 of one clip group traveling from the preheating zone.
- the pre-stretching zone Z2 corresponds to the first section.
- the traveling speed v1 of the left clip group traveling and moving from the preheating zone Z1 decreases in order.
- a travel delay of the left clip with respect to the right clip occurs, and the interval between the adjacent left clips gradually narrows in proportion to the decrease of the travel speed v1.
- the original film is stretched obliquely with respect to the longitudinal direction of the film.
- This stretching is different from stretching by vector sum of longitudinal stretching (stretching in the film longitudinal direction) and transverse stretching (stretching in the film width direction), and has strong uniaxial stretchability.
- it is a band-shaped retardation film having a slow axis inclined with respect to the longitudinal direction (obliquely stretched), and the NZ coefficient is closer to 1 than before and biaxial stretchability is weak (uniaxial stretchability Is produced).
- the traveling speed of the clip group holding the original film is decreased (the distance between adjacent clips is narrowed) to manufacture a retardation film which is a stretched film, at least There is no technology for producing an obliquely stretched retardation film.
- the traveling speed of the clip group increases (the distance between adjacent clips increases).
- the second method of the present invention is a method contrary to the technical common knowledge of those skilled in the art.
- the speed v12 after the traveling speed v1 of one clip group decreases in the first section is 30% or more and 95% or less of the speed v11 before the traveling speed v1 decreases in the first section preferable.
- This value corresponds to the deceleration of the one clip group in the first section.
- the preferable range of the deceleration varies depending on the type of thermoplastic resin constituting the original film, the width of the original film, the length of the first section in the heating and stretching apparatus, and the like.
- the upper limit of the preferable deceleration is, for example, the influence of wrinkles generated around the periphery of the original film by the deceleration of one clip group and the wrinkles. It is determined by the requirement of avoiding breakage of the original film.
- the upper limit of a preferable deceleration becomes small from "brittleness" of the said resin when setting it as a film.
- the upper limit of speed increases.
- the lower limit of the velocity ratio v12 / v11 is preferably 30%, more preferably 33% (in the first section, the velocity v1 of one clip group and the distance between adjacent clips is 1/3), 40% (the first More preferably, the velocity v1 of one clip group and the distance between adjacent clips in the section 1 is 1 / 2.5.
- higher deceleration may be adopted as a preferable range.
- the lower limit of the preferable deceleration (the upper limit of the preferable speed ratio v12 / v11) is susceptible to, for example, the length of the first section. This is because the longer the length of the first section, the smaller the deceleration is, and the effect of oblique stretching can be obtained.
- the speed ratio v12 / v11 is preferably 95% or less.
- the speed v12 is the traveling speed of the left side clip at the point L6 at which the first stage stretching zone Z2 which is the first section ends.
- the speed v11 is the traveling speed of the left side clip at the point L3 immediately before the first stretching zone Z2, which is the first section, starts.
- the distance between adjacent left clips is the narrowest.
- the ratio of the distance between the adjacent left clips at point L6 to the distance between the adjacent left clips at point L3 before the traveling speed v1 decreases is calculated by Call it LB).
- M-LB is equal to the speed ratio v12 / v11.
- the right side clipping magnification (M-RB) in the pre-stretching zone Z2 is determined.
- the travel speed v2 of the other clip group (the right clip group in the example shown in FIG. 1) is preferably maintained.
- the right side clipping magnification (M-RB) in the front stage stretching zone Z2 is 1.
- a stretching force (longitudinal stretching force) is applied to the original film in the longitudinal direction. This causes the biaxial stretchability of the obtained retardation film to become strong, and causes the uniformity of the optical properties in the width direction of the film to deteriorate.
- the extension zone further includes a second section for sequentially recovering the traveling speed of the one clip group traveling and moving through the first section after the first section.
- the rear stretching zone Z3 corresponds to the second section.
- the traveling speed of the left clip group traveling and moving from the front stretching zone Z2 sequentially increases, and the traveling speed v1 of the left clip group and the traveling speed v2 of the right clip group become equal to each other.
- the ratio v1 / v2 of the traveling speed v1 of the left clip group to the traveling speed v2 of the right clip group is 0.98 or more and 1.02 or less, preferably 0.99 or more and 1.01 or less, Preferably it becomes 0.995 or more and 1.005 or less.
- the traveling speeds of both clip groups can follow an arbitrary progression as long as they are equal to each other at the point at which the second section ends. Describing using the example shown in FIG. 1, the left clip group and the right clip group follow, for example, the following process.
- the traveling speed v1 of the left side clip group is not returned to the speed v11 immediately before moving to the first stage extending zone which is the first section, and the traveling speed v2 of the right side clip group is decreased accordingly.
- the spacing between adjacent clips in both the left and right clip groups is smaller than the point in time before the original film has moved into the stretching zone.
- the traveling speed of the left side clip group is not necessarily the same between the time immediately before moving to the first stage stretching zone Z2 and the time immediately after the second stage stretching zone Z3 ends. Good (may be identical).
- the speed v14 after the traveling speed v1 of the one clip group is recovered in the second section is the speed v11 before the traveling speed v1 decreases in the first section. It is preferable that it is 90% or more and 110% or less. This value corresponds to the degree of recovery of the traveling speed of the one clip group in the second section.
- the velocity v14 is the traveling velocity of the left side clip at the point L9 at which the rear stretching zone Z3 which is the second section ends. If the degree of recovery is less than 90%, in the pre-stretching zone Z2, removal of wrinkles generated by narrowing the distance between adjacent clips may be insufficient. When the degree of recovery exceeds 110%, the biaxial stretchability of the obtained retardation film is increased.
- both the left and right clip groups follow the process of (2) above. Specifically, immediately after moving to the rear stretching zone Z3 (L6 and R5), there is a difference in traveling speed between the left and right clips, but the traveling speed of the left clip recovers in the rear stretching zone Z3, and the zone At the ends of L3 (L9 and R7), the travel speeds of the left and right clips are equal to one another.
- the traveling speed of the right side clip is the same throughout the pre-stretching zone Z2 and the post-stretching zone Z3.
- the stretching zone only the left side clip group narrows the distance between the adjacent clips.
- point L6 which is the boundary between the front stretching zone Z2 and the rear stretching zone Z3, the distance is the narrowest, and the travel speed of the left clip is the slowest.
- the stretching zone has a first section and a second section.
- the second section is after the first section (downstream of the original film).
- the stretching zone is a zone other than the first zone or the second zone, for example, a zone in which the left and right clips travel while maintaining the difference in traveling speed. It can have.
- Such stretching in the pre-stretching zone and the post-stretching zone may be carried out by a simultaneous biaxial stretching machine having a pair of clip groups constituted by a plurality of clips that can be independently accelerated and decelerated.
- a normal stretching machine does not assume a state in which the clip is decelerated when the film is stretched. For this reason, if necessary, improvement of the structure of the stretching machine and / or the control program of the stretching machine may be required. Those skilled in the art can implement such an improvement by following the description of the second method.
- the first section for reducing the traveling speed of the clip group is provided on the left side of the clip, but the second method is not limited to this example. Section of may be provided.
- the distance between the left and right clip groups with respect to the width direction of the original film may be increased to further extend the original film.
- the transverse stretching can be carried out in the former stretching zone Z2 and / or the latter stretching zone Z3.
- the degree of freedom in controlling the optical characteristics for example, the direction of the optical axis and the retardation value, particularly the direction of the optical axis

- the transverse stretching magnification in the first stage stretching zone Z2 is T-Z2
- the transverse stretching magnification in the second stage stretching zone Z3 is T-Z3, formula (M-LB) ⁇ (T-Z2) It is preferable to set the draw ratio so that 1/2 ⁇ 1 is satisfied.
- a force acts to shrink the film in a direction perpendicular to the direction by X 1/2 times.
- the second method further improves the uniformity of the optical properties in the width direction of the obtained retardation film (for example, the retardation, the orientation of the optical axis, and the uniaxial stretchability represented by the NZ coefficient). Is also advantageous.
- the heat treatment temperature in the heat treatment zone is usually less than the stretching temperature in the stretching zone. Assuming that the distance between the left clips holding the original film continues to increase in the front and rear stretching zones as in the conventional method, the distance between the left clips continues even after the right clip moves to the heat treatment zone. It will continue to expand (for example, in L8-R8 in FIG. 1, the distance between the left clips continues to expand). In this state, the original film is actively stretched near the left clip still in the stretching zone, while the temperature of the original film is low near the right clip already moved to the heat treatment zone, and the film is not stretched. . This leads to unevenness in the optical properties in the width direction of the obtained retardation film.
- the traveling speed of the left side clip increases in the rear stretching zone, but this is only the recovery of the traveling speed decreased in the front stretching zone;
- the force of the diagonal stretch becomes weak accompanying with. For this reason, the uniformity of the optical characteristic of the width direction in the obtained retardation film improves.
- the stretching temperature in the stretching zone is preferably Tg-20 ° C. to Tg + 60 ° C., more preferably Tg-10 ° C. to Tg + 30 ° C., based on the glass transition temperature (Tg) of the thermoplastic resin constituting the raw film. .

- Tg + 60 ° C. the slack of the original film in the stretching zone becomes large, and the film and the heating and stretching apparatus come into contact or breakage of the original film tends to occur.
- the stretching temperature is, for example, the temperature setting temperature of the stretching zone in the heating and stretching apparatus or the temperature of the atmosphere through which the original film passes in the stretching zone.
- Tg of a thermoplastic resin layer which shows the highest Tg serves as a standard of extension temperature.
- the stretching speed in the stretching zone is, for example, 10 to 20000% / min, preferably 100 to 10000% / min. If the stretching speed is less than 10% / min, the time required to complete the stretching will be longer, and the production cost of the retardation film will be increased. In addition to this, the length required for the stretching zone becomes long, and such a heating and stretching device is not practical. When the drawing speed is larger than 20000% / min, the original film is likely to be broken.
- the original film stretched in the stretching zone is maintained at a specific temperature (heat treatment temperature) lower than the stretching temperature in the stretching zone.
- heat treatment temperature is preferably less than the stretching temperature in the stretching zone. It is not necessary to maintain the same heat treatment temperature throughout the heat treatment zone. It is preferred that at least part of the heat treatment temperature in the heat treatment zone is a temperature below the stretching temperature in the stretching zone. When the original film is below the stretching temperature, it shrinks.
- the distance between the clips in the longitudinal direction of the original film and / or the distance between the clips in the width direction of the original film may be adjusted in order to keep shrinkage stress in the heat treatment zone appropriate.
- the adjustment method is, for example, a direction in which the distance between the clips is narrowed in order to prevent breakage of the film when the contraction stress is large.

- the original film After passing through the heat treatment zone, the original film is released from both the left and right clip groups (clip out).
- the traveling speeds of both the left and right clip groups are equal to each other.
- the traveling speeds of the left and right clips are not equal at the time of clip-out, the film becomes loose in the section from the clip-out to the guide roll where the original film first contacts (slack on the clip side where the traveling speed is high) Occurs).
- the traveling speed can be achieved by applying tension in the flow direction of the original film in the section from the clip-out to the guide roll where the original film first contacts.
- a method is conceivable which alleviates the wrinkles or sagging of the original film caused by the difference to improve the movement stability of the film.

- the original film was gripped by CIL and CIR shown in FIG. 1, but in Comparative Example 2-1, the inlet of the preheating zone (Z1 shown in FIG. 1), ie, FIG. The holding of the original film by the left and right clips was carried out at L1 and R1 shown. The left clip was then decelerated until it reached L1 after the clip passed CIL. Also in Comparative Example 2-1, the traveling speeds of the left and right clips passing through the CIL and the CIR were the same as in the previous examples.

Abstract
Description
第1の方法では、帯状の原フィルムを、当該フィルム面内の方向であって、当該フィルムの幅方向に対して20°以上50°以下の角度をなす方向に延伸する。原フィルムは、主鎖に環構造を有するアクリル重合体を含む熱可塑性樹脂により構成される層を有する。これにより、フィルム面内の遅相軸(光軸)が、当該フィルムの長手方向(長辺方向、流れ方向)に対して10°以上80°以下傾いた、帯状の位相差フィルムが形成される。この位相差フィルムは、主鎖に環構造を有するアクリル重合体を含む熱可塑性樹脂により構成される層を有する。原フィルムの延伸は、連続的に実施しうる。原フィルムを構成する熱可塑性樹脂の組成および延伸条件によっては、フィルム面内の遅相軸が長手方向に対して10°以上80°以下傾いた位相差フィルムを形成するために、必要に応じて、2回以上の上記延伸を実施しうる。
第2の方法について、図1を参照しながら説明する。図1は、第2の方法を実施しうる加熱延伸装置1における、左右のクリップ群の走行状態を模式的に示している。図1に示す装置1では、複数個のクリップにより構成される左側クリップ群および複数個のクリップにより構成される右側クリップ群の各々に属するクリップが、クリップイン部(CIL,CIR)からL1~L10,R1~R9を経てクリップアウト部(COL,COR)に達し、左側クリップレールLRおよび右側クリップレールRRを経て、再びクリップイン部(CIL,CIR)に戻る走行を繰り返している。図1では原フィルムの図示が省略されているが、クリップイン部(CIL,CIR)において、帯状の原フィルムにおける左右の長辺縁部が、それぞれ左側クリップ群および右側クリップ群によって把持される。原フィルムは、当該フィルムを把持する左右のクリップ群の走行によって、加熱延伸装置1に導かれるとともに、当該装置1における予熱ゾーンZ1、前段延伸ゾーンZ2、後段延伸ゾーンZ3および熱処理ゾーンZ4をこの順に通過する。
本発明の位相差フィルムロールでは、帯状の位相差フィルムが巻回されている。この位相差フィルム面内の遅相軸は、当該フィルムの長手方向に対して10°以上80°以下傾いている。一つの例は、フィルム面内の遅相軸が当該フィルムの長手方向に対して45°傾いた位相差フィルムである。この位相差フィルムは、帯状の偏光フィルムとのロールtoロール積層による円偏光板の製造に好適である。位相差フィルムは、主鎖に環構造を有するアクリル重合体を含む熱可塑性樹脂により構成される層を有する。
重合体、樹脂およびフィルムのガラス転移温度(Tg)は、JIS K7121の規定に準拠して求めた。具体的には、示差走査熱量計(リガク製、Thermo plus EVO DSC-8230)を用い、窒素ガス雰囲気下、約10mgのサンプルを常温から200℃まで昇温(昇温速度20℃/分)して得られたDSC曲線から、始点法により評価した。リファレンスには、α-アルミナを用いた。
重合体の重量平均分子量は、ゲル浸透クロマトグラフィー(GPC)を用いて、以下の条件で求めた。
システム:東ソー製GPCシステム HLC-8220
展開溶媒:クロロホルム(和光純薬工業製、特級)、流量:0.6mL/分
標準試料:TSK標準ポリスチレン(東ソー製、PS-オリゴマーキット)
測定側カラム構成:ガードカラム(東ソー製、TSKguardcolumn SuperHZ-L)、分離カラム(東ソー製、TSKgel SuperHZM-M)2本直列接続
リファレンス側カラム構成:リファレンスカラム(東ソー製、TSKgel SuperH-RC)
重合体のMFRは、JIS K7210:1999の規定に準拠して求めた。具体的には、メルトインデクサー(テクノセブン製)を用い、試験温度240℃、荷重98N(10kgf)として求めた。
フィルムを構成する熱可塑性樹脂の固有複屈折の正負は、以下のように評価した。最初に、作製した未延伸の原フィルムから80mm×50mmのフィルム片を切り出し、加温室を備えたオートグラフ(島津製作所製)を用いて、原フィルムのTg+3℃にて、延伸倍率2倍で一軸延伸し、延伸フィルムを得た。このとき、フィルム片における長手方向の両端部のそれぞれ20mmをチャックの取り付けしろとしたため、実質的には、フィルム片における40mm×50mmの部分に対して延伸が実施された。次に、全自動複屈折計(王子計測機器製、KOBRA-WR)を用いて、得られた延伸フィルムの配向角を求め、これによりフィルムを構成する樹脂の固有複屈折の正負を決定した。測定された配向角が0°近傍であれば(すなわち、樹脂の配向方向が延伸方向と略平行であれば)、フィルムを構成する樹脂の固有複屈折は正である。測定された配向角が90°近傍であれば(すなわち、樹脂の配向方向が延伸方向と略垂直であれば)、フィルムを構成する樹脂の固有複屈折は負である。
作製した位相差フィルムの、波長590nmの光に対する面内位相差Re(590)、波長447nmの光に対する面内位相差Re(447)、波長750nmの光に対する面内位相差Re(750)および波長590nmの光に対する厚さ方向の位相差Rthならびに光軸の方向(フィルム面内における遅相軸の方向)は、位相差フィルム・光学材料検査装置(大塚電子製、RETS-100)を用いて評価した。測定の際に当該装置に入力する位相差フィルムの厚さdは、デジマチックマイクロメーター(ミツトヨ製)により、位相差フィルムの平均屈折率はアッベ屈折率計により、それぞれ測定した。Rthは式{(nx+ny)/2-nz}×dにより与えられる値を用いた。Rthを測定する際には、測定対象である位相差フィルムを傾斜させるが、その傾斜軸は、当該フィルムの遅相軸および進相軸のうち、遅相軸を傾斜軸として測定した面内位相差Re(S40°)と、進相軸を傾斜軸として測定した面内位相差Re(F40°)とを比較して大きい値が得られる方とした。位相差フィルムの一軸延伸性は、NZ係数(NZ=|Rth|/|Re(590)|+0.5)により評価した。位相差フィルムの波長分散性は、Re(447)/Re(590)およびRe(750)/Re(590)の値により評価した。
