- the secondary particles must be formed is that, for example, the reactive silica (A) alone has good dispersibility, so that the reactive silica (A) is uniformly dispersed during film formation, and easy slipping is expressed. This is because the small protrusions are not formed, but by making the secondary particles by adding the slippery agent (B), it becomes possible to create small protrusions that can express slipperiness on the surface of the HC layer.
- Reactive silica (A), easy-to-lubricant (B), and polyfunctional monomer (D) are agglomerated three types of secondary particles (particles as shown in the photograph in FIG. 8) in an appropriate amount on the surface of the HC layer. It is important to.
- the average secondary particle size of the secondary particles is important. If the reactive silica (A) and the lubricant (B) are not within the range of the respective average primary particle sizes, the resulting three-aggregated secondary particles will not only have an optimal particle size, but will not have an optimal shape. For example, when the average primary particle size of the reactive silica (A) and / or the lubricant (B) is excessively large, the shape of the agglomerate is not limited even if the three types of agglomerated secondary particles have a seemingly preferable size. It tends to be in a state where there are many angle components, which causes an increase in haze and a decrease in transmittance. In addition, an angle component means the acute angle part etc. which become convex among the unevenness
- the same effect as in the present invention cannot be obtained, and blocking resistance is obtained.
- the optical properties deteriorate. Therefore, even if the shape of the small protrusions on the surface of the HC layer is the same height, the shape of the small protrusions is steep, so that the light diffusibility increases and whitening occurs.
- the average secondary particle size is controlled by the particle size and amount of the lubricant (B). As the amount of the lubricant (B) is increased, the particle size of the secondary particles is increased.
- the easy-to-lubricant (B) which is a hydrophilic-treated particle, easily aggregates in a hydrophobic binder matrix and floats in the surface direction of the HC layer where moisture in the air exists.
- the easy-to-treat lubricant (B) subjected to hydrophilic treatment can be appropriately dispersed in a hydrophobic resin (HC matrix component) by the dispersant.
- Reactive silica (A) has a reactive group that is hydrophobic, so it is easy to mix with and bind to the HC matrix component. Moreover, since silica itself is hydrophilic, it is easy to gather around the easily treated lubricant.
- the reactive silica is already in a state of being combined with the matrix resin and aggregates with the lubricant.
- the dispersing agent present around the lubricant is hydrophobic, it is compatible with the reactive silica (A) and the hydrophobic binder component present in a large amount in the layer.
- the matrix resin aggregates it is dispersed in the vicinity of the hard coat surface without gelation in the layer. As a result of the synthesis of these reactions, it is considered that the three-type agglomerated secondary particles that can effectively exhibit the blocking resistance in the present invention are formed.
- Formation of the secondary particles (C) in the HC layer curable resin composition is carried out by, for example, using a product name FPAR-1000 manufactured by Otsuka Electronics Co., Ltd. by a dynamic light scattering method. This can be confirmed by measuring the particle size distribution of particles in the composition (including ink 1 and ink 2 described later). That is, the fine particles contained in the curable resin composition for the HC layer are reactive silica fine particles (A) having an average primary particle size of 10 to 100 nm and easy-lubricants (B) having an average primary particle size of 100 to 300 nm. Therefore, formation of secondary particles (C) can be confirmed by observing fine particles having an average particle size larger than 300 nm in the graph of the particle size value and scattering intensity distribution obtained by the dynamic light scattering method.
- the secondary particles (C) are preferably aggregates containing reactive silica (A), a lubricant (B), and a polyfunctional monomer (D), that is, there is a binder resin between the particles.
- the aggregate itself is flexible because of the aggregated particles.
- the shape of the small protrusions formed by this aggregate is smoother than that of the primary particles of the lubricant (B) having the same particle size as the secondary particles (C).

- the polyfunctional monomer has two or more reactive functional groups, and when the curable resin composition for HC layer is cured, the reactive functional group polymerizes or crosslinks with the photocurable group of the reactive silica fine particles (A). It is a component that reacts to form a network structure and becomes a matrix of the HC layer.

Abstract
Description
しかし、ヘイズの上昇等を防ぐために、HC層に含有させる易滑剤の平均1次粒径を小さくすると、十分な凹凸形状が形成されず、耐ブロッキング性が不十分となる。
このように、高硬度で、十分な耐ブロッキング性、低いヘイズ及び高い全光線透過率をすべて満足するHCフィルムが要求されていた。
例えば、反応性シリカ入りのインキと相溶性のよい易滑剤を混ぜても、製膜時に、微粒子が均一分散するため、十分な表面の小突起が形成されなかった。適度に調整された易滑剤入り分散剤であっても、反応性シリカより小さい易滑剤は、反応性シリカに埋没し十分な表面の小突起を形成できなかった。また、易滑剤が反応性シリカより大きすぎると、ヘイズが大きくなり、透過率が低くなった。
そこで本発明者らは、易滑剤の適度な量及び大きさが存在することと、その適度な大きさの易滑剤となる粒子を製造する方法を見出した。
本発明は上記問題点を解決するためになされたものであり、高硬度で、十分な耐ブロッキング性を有しながら、ヘイズが低く、全光線透過率も高いHCフィルムを提供することを第一の目的とする。
本発明の第二の目的は、上記HCフィルムが備えるHC層を形成するのに好適なHC層用硬化性樹脂組成物を提供することである。
本発明の第三の目的は、上記HCフィルムの製造方法を提供することである。
本発明の第四の目的は、上記HCフィルムを備える偏光板を提供することである。
本発明の第五の目的は、上記HCフィルムを備えるディスプレイパネルを提供することである。
(A)粒子表面に光硬化性基を有し、平均1次粒径が10~100nmの反応性シリカ微粒子、
(B)平均1次粒径が100~300nmの易滑剤、
(C)少なくとも当該易滑剤(B)を含有し、平均2次粒径が500nm~2000nmの2次粒子、
(D)1分子中に前記反応性シリカ微粒子(A)の光硬化性基との架橋反応性を有する反応性官能基を2個以上有し、分子量が1000以下である多官能モノマー及び
(E)溶剤、を含み、
平均2次粒径が2000nmよりも大きい2次粒子を含まず、かつ、
当該反応性シリカ微粒子(A)及び多官能モノマー(D)の合計質量に対して当該易滑剤(B)を0.2~8質量%含むことを特徴とする。
(i)トリアセチルセルロース基材上に、上記ハードコート層用硬化性樹脂組成物を塗布し、塗膜とする工程、及び
(ii)当該塗膜に光照射を行い硬化させてハードコート層を形成する工程、を含むことを特徴とする。
(イ)反応性シリカ(A)、多官能モノマー(D)、溶剤(E)を少なくとも含む組成物を混合し、インキ1を調製する工程、
(ロ)易滑剤(B)、溶剤(E)を少なくとも含む組成物を混合し、インキ2を調製する工程、及び
(ハ)前記インキ1を撹拌しながら、前記インキ2を少しずつ混合して2次粒子(C)を形成し、前記ハードコート層用硬化性樹脂組成物を調製する工程。
本発明に係るハードコート層用硬化性樹脂組成物は、上記特性を有するハードコート層を形成するのに好適に用いることができる。
本発明に係るハードコートフィルムの製造方法によれば、上記ハードコートフィルムを容易に製造することができる。
また、本発明の光には、可視及び非可視領域の波長の電磁波だけでなく、電子線のような粒子線及び電磁波と粒子線を総称する放射線又は電離放射線が含まれる。
本発明において、「ハードコート層」とは、JIS K5600-5-4(1999)に規定する鉛筆硬度試験(4.9N荷重)で、「H」以上の硬度を示すものをいう。
高硬度とは「3H」以上のものをいう。
また、固形分とは、溶剤を除く成分をいう。
本発明において、分子量とは、分子量分布を有する場合には、THF溶剤におけるゲル浸透クロマトグラフィー(GPC)により測定したポリスチレン換算値である重量平均分子量を意味し、分子量分布を有しない場合には、化合物そのものの分子量を意味する。
2次粒子とは、単純に1次粒子同士が密着及び凝集し密度が高くなっている粒子だけでなく、粒子と粒子の間に樹脂が存在し、その状態で凝集している粒子も意味する。本発明では後者が、より耐スクラッチ性(耐擦傷性)に効果を有すると推測される。上記測定方法にてハードコート層用硬化性樹脂組成物を希釈することなく測定して得られた2次平均粒径を有する、凝集した粒子を2次粒子とする。
本発明に係るハードコート層用硬化性樹脂組成物(以下、単に「HC層用組成物」ということがある)は、
(A)粒子表面に光硬化性基を有し、平均1次粒径が10~100nmの反応性シリカ微粒子、
(B)平均1次粒径が100~300nmの易滑剤、
(C)少なくとも当該易滑剤(B)を含有し、平均2次粒径が500nm~2000nmの2次粒子、
(D)1分子中に前記反応性シリカ微粒子(A)の光硬化性基との架橋反応性を有する反応性官能基を2個以上有し、分子量が1000以下である多官能モノマー及び
(E)溶剤、を含み、
平均2次粒径が2000nmよりも大きい2次粒子を含まず、かつ、
当該反応性シリカ微粒子(A)及び多官能モノマー(D)の合計質量に対して当該易滑剤(B)を0.2~8質量%含むことを特徴とする。
そして、HC層用硬化性樹脂組成物は、平均2次粒径が2000nmよりも大きい2次粒子を含まないため、当該HC層用硬化性樹脂組成物を硬化させたHC層のヘイズが低く、全光線透過率も高い。
反応性シリカ微粒子(A)は、HC層に硬度を付与する成分であり、HC層用硬化性樹脂組成物が紫外線等の光によって硬化する際に、その粒子表面の光硬化性基が後述する多官能モノマー(D)の反応性官能基と重合乃至架橋反応し得る。
シリカ微粒子の形状は、例えば、真球、略球状、楕円形状又は不定形等が挙げられる。
また、反応性シリカ(A)は後述するように、2次粒子(C)に含まれて、易滑剤(B)よりも粒径が大きくなり、高い耐ブロッキング性を発現する3種凝集2次粒子の形成に寄与する。
易滑剤(B)は、耐ブロッキング性を発現するためのHC層表面の微細な凹凸形状の形成に寄与する平均1次粒径100~300nmの粒子である。
また、易滑剤(B)は後述するように、2次粒子(C)に含まれて、当該易滑剤(B)よりも粒径が大きくなり、高い耐ブロッキング性を発現する3種凝集2次粒子の形成に寄与する。
易滑剤(B)の平均1次粒径が、100nm未満では、易滑剤(B)が反応性シリカ(A)の粒子群内に埋没し、凝集しにくいため、十分な耐ブロッキング性が発現せず、300nmより大きくなるとHC層の透明性が低下し、ヘイズが上昇する。
好ましい分散剤としては、溶剤系、電離放射線硬化型バインダーに用いられるものであれば特に限定されない。
上記親水性微粒子の市販品としては、例えば、CIKナノテック(株)製の商品名SIRMEK-E03、日産化学工業(株)製の商品名IPA-ST-ZL等が挙げられる。
2次粒子(C)は、HC層用硬化性樹脂組成物が硬化する際に、HC層表面における微細な小突起形状の形成、すなわちHC層への耐ブロッキング性の付与に寄与する成分である。
2次粒子(C)は、少なくとも上記易滑剤(B)を含有し、平均2次粒径が500nm~2000nmである。2次粒子(C)の平均2次粒径が、500nm未満ではHC層に十分な耐ブロッキング性を付与することができないおそれがあり、2000nmを超えると凝集が不安定になり、HC層の透明性が損なわれる。
多官能モノマーは、反応性官能基を2個以上有し、HC層用硬化性樹脂組成物の硬化時にその反応性官能基により上記反応性シリカ微粒子(A)の光硬化性基と重合乃至架橋反応し、網目構造を形成してHC層のマトリクスとなる成分である。
多官能モノマー(D)は、上述したものを1種単独で用いても良いし、2種以上を組み合わせて用いても良い。
また、より高硬度にするためには、カチオン重合性よりもラジカル重合性の化合物が理由は不明だが、架橋密度が高くなりやすく好ましい。

浸透性溶剤を用いることで、TAC基材に本発明に係るHC層用硬化性樹脂組成物を用いてHC層を形成する場合に表面に耐ブロッキング性を発現するための微細な凹凸形状を形成しやすいからである。

(5)防汚層/低屈折率層/高屈折率層/中屈折率層/HC層/TAC基材
以下、その他の層について説明する。
低屈折率層は、HCフィルムの反射率を調整し、表面の視認性を高める働きを有する層である。
低屈折率層は、シリカやフッ化マグネシウム等の屈折率の低い成分とバインダー成分を含む組成物又はフッ化ビニリデン共重合体等のフッ素含有樹脂を含む組成物の硬化物からなり、従来公知の低屈折率層とすることができる。
粒子を含有させても良い。
中空粒子は、外殻層を有し外殻層に囲まれた内部が多孔質組織又は空洞である粒子をいう。当該多孔質組織や空洞には空気(屈折率:1)が含まれており、屈折率1.20~1.45の中空粒子を低屈折率層に含有させることで低屈折率層の屈折率を低減することができる。
中空粒子の平均粒径は1~100nmであることが好ましい。
中空粒子は従来公知の低屈折率層に用いられているものを用いることができ、例えば、特開2008-165040号公報に記載の空隙を有する微粒子が挙げられる。
高屈折率層及び中屈折率層は、HCフィルムの反射率を調整するために設けられる層である。
高屈折率層を設ける場合は、図示しないが、通常、低屈折率層のTAC基材側に隣接して設ける。また、中屈折率層を設ける場合は、図示しないが、通常、TAC基材側から中屈折率層、高屈折率層及び低屈折率層の順に設ける。
高屈折率層及び中屈折率層は、バインダー成分と屈折率調整用の粒子とを主に含有する組成物の硬化物からなる。バインダー成分としては、HC層用組成物で挙げた多官能モノマー(D)等の樹脂を用いることができる。
屈折率調整用の粒子としては、例えば、粒子径が100nm以下の微粒子を挙げることができる。このような微粒子としては、酸化亜鉛(屈折率:1.90)、チタニア(屈折率:2.3~2.7)、セリア(屈折率:1.95)、スズドープ酸化インジウム(屈折率:1.95)、アンチモンドープ酸化スズ(屈折率:1.80)、イットリア(屈折率:1.87)、ジルコニア(屈折率:2.0)からなる群から選ばれた1種以上を挙げることができる。
高屈折率層は具体的には、1.50~2.80の屈折率であることが好ましい。
中屈折率層は高屈折率層用理も屈折率が低く、1.50~2.00の屈折率であることが好ましい。
本発明の好ましい態様によれば、HCフィルム最表面の汚れ防止を目的として、HCフィルムのTAC基材とは反対側の最表面に防汚層を設けることができる。防汚層により、HCフィルムに対して優れた防汚性と耐擦傷性を付与することが可能となる。防汚層は、防汚剤とバインダー成分を含む防汚層用組成物の硬化物からなる。
防汚層用組成物のバインダー成分は、従来公知のものを用いて良く、例えば、上記HC層用組成物で挙げた多官能モノマー(D)を用いることができる。
防汚層用組成物に含まれる防汚剤は、公知のレベリング剤等の防汚剤から適宜選択して1種又は2種以上を用いることができ、上記HC層用組成物で挙げた防汚剤を用いることができる。
防汚剤の含有量は、防汚層用組成物の全固形分100質量部に対して、0.01~0.5質量部とすれば良い。
本発明に係る偏光板は、上記HCフィルムのトリアセチルセルロース基材側に偏光子が設けられていることを特徴とする。
図4は、本発明に係る偏光板の層構成の一例を示す模式図である。図4に示す偏光板70は、HCフィルム1並びに保護フィルム40及び偏光層50が積層された偏光子60とを有しており、HCフィルム1のトリアセチルセルロース基材10側に偏光子60が設けられている。
本発明に用いられる偏光子60としては、所定の偏光特性を備えるものであれば特に限定されるものではなく、一般的に液晶表示装置に用いられる偏光子を用いることができる。
偏光子60は、所定の偏光特性を長期間保持できる形態であれば特に限定されるものではなく、例えば、偏光層50のみから構成されていてもよく、保護フィルム40と偏光層50とが貼り合わされたものであってもよい。保護フィルム40と偏光層50とが貼り合わされている場合、偏光層50の片面のみに保護フィルム40が形成されていてもよく、偏光層50の両面に保護フィルム40が形成されていてもよい。
保護フィルムの光透過性としては、可視光領域における透過率が80%以上であることが好ましく、90%以上であることがより好ましい。
なお、上記保護フィルムの透過率は、JIS K7361-1(プラスチック-透明材料の全光透過率の試験方法)により測定することができる。
本発明に係るディスプレイパネルは、上記HCフィルムのトリアセチルセルロース基材側にディスプレイが配置されていることを特徴とする。
ディスプレイとしては、LCD、PDP、ELD(有機EL、無機EL)、CRTタッチパネル、電子ペーパー、タブレットPC等が挙げられる。

同様に、比較例2及び7のHC層用組成物に含まれる2次粒子(C)の平均2次粒径は、それぞれ、図6、7より、534nm、285nmである。
上記各実施例1~9及び比較例1~16で得られたハードコートフィルムに対して、以下のように鉛筆硬度、ヘイズ、貼り付き防止性(耐ブロッキング性)を評価した。その結果を表2に記載する。
鉛筆硬度は、作製したハードコートフィルムを温度25℃、相対湿度60%の条件で2時間調湿した後、JIS-S-6006が規定する試験用鉛筆を用いて、JIS K5600-5-4(1999)に規定する鉛筆硬度試験(4.9N荷重)を行い、傷がつかなかった最も高い硬度を測定した。
ヘイズメーター(村上色彩技術研究所製、製品番号HM-150)を用い、JIS-K-7136に従って透過法で測定した。
作製したハードコートフィルムの全光線透過率(%)を、ヘイズメーター(村上色彩技術研究所製、製品番号HM-150)を用いてJIS K-7361に従って測定した。
HCフィルムのハードコート層形成面とフィルム面を重ね、3922.66kPaの圧力をかけ、20分間放置した後、評価を行った。
(評価基準)
評価○:貼り付かない
評価×:一部貼りつく又は完全に貼り付く
表1及び2より、実施例1~9では、十分な耐ブロッキング性と良好なヘイズ、全光線透過率を有するHCフィルムが得られた。
しかし、易滑剤(B)の含有割合が少ない比較例1では、ヘイズと全光線透過率は良好だったが、耐ブロッキング性が不足した。
易滑剤(B)の含有割合が多い比較例2では、耐ブロッキング性は十分だったが、ヘイズが高くなり、鉛筆硬度も低かった。
易滑剤(B)の平均1次粒径が小さい比較例3及び4では、ヘイズと全光線透過率は良好だったが、耐ブロッキング性が不足した。
易滑剤(B)の平均1次粒径が大きい比較例5では、耐ブロッキング性は十分だったが、ヘイズが高くなり、鉛筆硬度も低かった。
易滑剤(B)の平均1次粒径が大きい比較例6では、耐ブロッキング性は十分だったが、ヘイズ、全光線透過率及び鉛筆硬度の評価が悪かった。
2次粒子(C)の平均2次粒径が小さい比較例7では、ヘイズと全光線透過率は良好だったが、耐ブロッキング性が不十分となった。
多官能モノマー(D)に代えて、単官能モノマーを用いた比較例9では、鉛筆硬度が低かった。
多官能モノマー(D)に代えて、分子量が大きいバインダーを用いた比較例10では、耐ブロッキング性が不十分となり、鉛筆硬度が低かった。
基材をPET基材とした比較例11では、耐ブロッキング性が不十分となり、ヘイズも高く、鉛筆硬度が低かった。
反応性シリカ(A)及び易滑剤(B)を加えなかった比較例12では、鉛筆硬度が低かった。
反応性シリカ(A)の含有割合が本発明の範囲外であった比較例13及び14では、鉛筆硬度が低かった。
易滑剤(B)の含有割合が本発明の範囲より少なかった比較例15では、耐ブロッキング性が不十分で、鉛筆硬度が低かった。
易滑剤(B)の含有割合が本発明の範囲より多かった比較例16では、ヘイズが高くなり、鉛筆硬度が低かった。
また、ハードコート層用硬化性樹脂組成物を、実施例1で記載したように(イ)、(ロ)、(ハ)の工程をとらず、全ての同じ材料を同じ質量だけ同時に混合した場合には、2次粒子径は200nm未満にしかならず、3種凝集2次粒子ができていなかった。このインキでハードコートフィルムを作製したところ、耐ブロッキング性は全く得られなかった。
