- the ⁇ / 4 retardation plate and the ⁇ / 2 retardation plate can be made thinner than the retardation plates described in Patent Documents 2 and 3, and the liquid crystal device can be reduced in weight. So far, no technology with specific examples has been disclosed.
- the center part of the film to be produced is pulled and drooped in the direction of gravity or the direction of progress of the production process by its own weight or heat shrinkage stress by heat stretching in the state of gripping the end part.
- a phenomenon called bowing occurs due to the fact that the film in the process constitutes a catenary curve (catenary curve), variation in birefringence in the film width direction, inclination of the orientation main axis in the film width direction (hereinafter referred to as orientation) (Indicated as corners).
- This variation in orientation angle due to bowing increases as a quadratic function corresponding to the distance from the center of the film being formed, so it suppresses the variation in orientation angle at a wide width and at a position away from the film center. Doing it has been a major challenge.
- Patent Document 4 discloses a film in which bowing is suppressed by relaxing the stretched film in the longitudinal direction.

- the local phase difference unevenness referred to in the present specification is measured using such a measuring apparatus, and the local phase difference unevenness in the present embodiment is between two adjacent points within 1 cm of the measurement site. Is defined as the difference between the maximum value and the minimum value of the in-plane retardation value retardation.

- Orientation angle can be measured.
- the inclination of the orientation main axis is expressed as 0 degree when the orientation angle is parallel to the film width direction, + as the clockwise inclination and-as the counterclockwise direction with respect to the film surface.
- the variation in the orientation angle may be within the specified range in each of the widths described above, but it is also preferable that the orientation angle has the same sign of inclination.
- the phrase “same inclination sign” means a state where the inclination shows the same sign in the above measurement at both ends of the widened film.
- the orientation angle variation is defined as the absolute value of the difference between the maximum value and the minimum value of the orientation angle at an arbitrary position in the film measured as described above, but when the orientation angle variation exceeds 6 ° (the width is 1). , 200 mm or more and less than 2,000 mm) or when the variation exceeds 10 ° (width is 2,000 mm or more), the absorption axis of the polarizing plate and the retardation of the optical retardation film when bonded to the polarizing plate There may be a portion where light is not transmitted due to the fact that the angular relationship of the axes is not maintained.
- the bowing phenomenon causing the orientation angle is a phenomenon caused by the film in the process forming a catenary line (catenary curve), so the orientation angle increases as the distance from the center of the formed film increases.
- This behavior is often approximated by a quadratic function, and in order to make the film having the smallest variation in the orientation angle, the film roll of the present embodiment is formed by chamfering the center of the formed intermediate product roll as the center in the width direction. And is best.
- the product can be collected only in the central part by this width.
- the width of the optical retardation film has been increasing with the increase in the screen size of liquid crystal devices.
- the width depends on the screen size of the liquid crystal device, but if the orientation angle variation is large, the angular relationship between the absorption axis of the polarizing plate and the slow axis of the optical retardation film is maintained when bonded to the polarizing plate as described above. Because it is not done, the width is limited. Specifically, when combined with a polarizing plate from above the optical retardation film roll, the longitudinal direction when it is made into a sheet (sheet) is determined according to the angle (orientation angle) of the slow axis, When the orientation angle variation is large, it is necessary to change the angle depending on the width position when the optical retardation film is formed.

If the variation is within 10 °, preferably within 8 °, it can contribute to the solution of the above problem.
- the upper limit of the width is preferably 3,000 mm or less in consideration of film processability and productivity after processing, although it is affected by the width as described above.
- polyester film production method applied to this embodiment will be described in more detail.
- the above-described polyester is dried as necessary, and supplied to an extruder, and the polymer is filtered through a filter. Since even a very small foreign matter becomes a film defect, it is effective to use a high-precision filter that collects 95% or more of a foreign matter of 5 ⁇ m or more, for example. Subsequently, it is melt-extruded into a sheet shape using a T-type die or the like, and cooled and solidified on a casting roll to obtain an unstretched film.
- the melt-extruded polymer sheet is grounded and cooled on the casting roll, but the amount of heat of the polymer that can be cooled is limited by the thermal conductivity of the members of the cast roll, and if it is not completely cooled to the inside of the polymer sheet Orientation unevenness (amorphous unevenness) occurs in the obtained unstretched film. Since this alignment unevenness (amorphous unevenness) causes local phase difference unevenness, it is effective to reduce the casting roll speed and elongate the cooling time of the polymer sheet, for example.
- the cast roll speed is preferably in a range in which the film transport speed in the step of winding the stretched film in the subsequent steps is 50 m / min or more and less than 200 m / min, more preferably 50 m / min or more and 150 m / min. This is the range.
- the biaxially oriented polyester film for an optical retardation plate of this embodiment is obtained by stretching this unstretched film at a stretching temperature of 90 to 130 ° C.
- the stretching step may be sequential stretching or simultaneous biaxial stretching.
- a simultaneous biaxial stretching process is preferred.
- the stretching in the longitudinal direction is carried out by 2.5 to 5 times in one step or divided into multiple steps, and then or simultaneously in the simultaneous biaxial stretching process. Stretch 3 to 6 times in the width direction.
- the ratio of the stretching ratio performed in each step is a process in which the stretching ratio in the longitudinal direction / the stretching ratio in the width direction is less than 1.0. This is because bowing in the stretching process can be suppressed by increasing the alignment in the width direction.
- the polyester film applied to this embodiment when manufacturing the polyester film applied to this embodiment, it is preferable not to include a relaxation step in the longitudinal direction during stretching in the width direction.
- the relaxation process in the longitudinal direction is an effective method for suppressing bowing as described in Patent Document 4, the polyester film applied to the present embodiment is a film having a thickness of 10 ⁇ m or less. This is because the thickness unevenness is large and the in-plane retardation is non-uniform for each position.

- the magnification is preferably less than 6 times.

- the temperature increase rate during the stretching process after starting stretching is preferably less than 10 ° C./second.
- the polyester film for magnetic material as described in Patent Document 5
- a cooling process is provided before entering the heat treatment process as a method for suppressing the quality variation caused by the bowing, but this method has a strong lateral orientation. This is because it is necessary to make the film thin in order to make the in-plane retardation within the range suitable for the optical retardation plate, and it becomes difficult to satisfy the workability.
- a polyester film applied to this embodiment is manufactured through a heat treatment step.
- the atmospheric temperature of the heat treatment is such that the temperature difference between the top and bottom of the film is 1 to 20 ° C., preferably 1 to 10 ° C., more preferably 1 to 5 ° C. in order to stabilize the film properties.
- the temperature difference between the upper and lower sides of the film is larger than 20 ° C., the physical properties in the width direction of the film, particularly the mechanical properties or the heat shrinkage rate, may become non-uniform.
- a relaxation treatment may be performed as necessary. At this time, either the lateral direction or the longitudinal direction may be used, but the lateral direction and the longitudinal direction may be performed simultaneously or in combination.
- the relaxation rate is preferably 1 to 20%, more preferably 1 to 10%, based on the total width of the film, and is effective for obtaining a film having excellent thermal dimensional stability.
- intermediate product roll obtained by winding the above-described film that has undergone the heat treatment step is obtained, and finally slit according to the required sampling width to obtain the polyester film roll of this embodiment.
- the orientation angle variation is the key as described above. Since the orientation angle variation occurs due to the bowing, it is the sampling method that minimizes the orientation angle variation to collect symmetrically so that the center in the width direction of the intermediate product roll coincides with the center of the film roll. On the other hand, if the film roll is sampled asymmetrically so as to include one end of the intermediate product roll without including the center position, the orientation angle variation is maximized (in this case, the sign of the orientation angle). Are the same). Since the polyester film applied to this embodiment has a small orientation angle variation, the ratio of the width that can be used in the film width of the formed intermediate product roll is large, and the productivity becomes high when the film roll is formed.
- the polyester film obtained from the polyester film roll of this embodiment becomes a retardation film with a much thinner thickness than before by thinning and strengthening by biaxial stretching, saving space when incorporated into various liquid crystal display devices. Can be realized. Furthermore, the polarized light emitted from the liquid crystal display is made elliptical or circularly polarized, so even if the liquid crystal display device is used with polarized glasses, the direction of rotation of the device (use in vertical or horizontal) Therefore, it is possible to suppress unevenness in the amount of light and change in hue, and to keep visibility during device operation.
- the measurement method of characteristic values in the examples and comparative examples is as follows.
- the absolute value of the difference between the maximum value and the minimum value was taken as the measurement result in the target sampling width.
- the variation of the retardation value in the plane was determined by measuring the difference between the maximum value and the minimum value in the target sampling width.
- Haze value of film According to JIS K7105 (1981), a sample cut into a dimension of 4 cm in the longitudinal direction of the film and 3.5 cm in the width direction of the film was used as a sample, and a haze meter (HGM-2DP manufactured by Suga Test Instruments (for C light)) It measured using. Three points were measured uniformly in the film width direction, and the average value was taken as the measurement result.

Abstract
Description
採取した測定対象のフィルムを台に広げ、幅を金尺(JIS1級)で測定した。
野村商事製SONIC SHEET TESTER(SST-250)を用いて測定を行った。試料となるフィルムの幅に対して同じ位置になるように30枚重ねで両端部からA4サイズに切り出したサンプルの中点(105mm)を測定した。サンプル切り出し時の角度誤差を補正するため、測定は表裏で行い、表裏での測定結果の絶対値を平均した値を測定値とし、配向主軸がフィルム幅方向と平行である時を配向角0度とし、フィルム面に対して時計回りの傾きを+、反時計回りを-として評価した。
JIS C2151(1990)に準じ、マイクロメーター(ミツトヨOMM-25)を用いて測定をした。試料となるフィルムの幅方向に対して均等に3点測定し、その平均値を測定結果とした。
王子計測機器社製KOBRA-WPRを用いて測定を行った。対象となる採取幅取りにおいて、試料となるフィルムを切り出し、装置にセットした。位相差測定ソフトKOBRA-REを起動し、“測定法”を“標準”として、波長586.9nmの光にて測定を実施し、入力するフィルム厚みは上述の(3)で測定した値を入力して算出させたRe(nm)を測定値とした。測定は対象となる採取幅取りにおいて、両端及び中央より切り出したサンプルで行い、その測定値の変動範囲を確認した。
王子計測機器社製KOBRA-CCDを用いて測定を行った。対象となる採取幅取りにおいて、フィルムロール全幅から採取したサンプルをクロスニコル状態及びパラニコル状態に対峙させた2枚の偏光板の間に配置し、一方の側からフィルムに直角に光をあて、光の投射方向の反対側から目視で観察し、色ムラの有無を確認した。色ムラが確認された部位のフィルムを切り出し、KOBRA-CCDを用いて色ムラ部分と正常部分の面内位相差値レターデーションを測定した。
局所的な位相差ムラは、測定部位の任意の隣り合う1cm以内の2点間の面内位相差値レターデーションの最大値と最小値の差分とした。
安立電気製フィルム厚み連続測定器を用いて、長手方向に15m測定し、記録されたフィルム厚さチャートから、最大厚みと最小厚みの差を厚みむら(μm)として測定した。測定条件は下記の通り。
検出器:3Rルビー端子、測定力:15g±5g
フィルム幅:45mm、測定長:15m、フィルム送り速度:3m/分
JIS K7105(1981)に準じ、フィルム長手方向4cm×フィルム幅方向3.5cmの寸法に切り出したものをサンプルとし、ヘイズメータ(スガ試験機製HGM-2DP(C光用))を用いて測定した。フィルム幅方向に対して均等に3点測定し、その平均値を測定結果とした。
フィルム表面に、幅10mm、測定長約100mmとなるように2本のラインを引き、この2本のライン間の距離を23℃で測定しこれをL0とする。このフィルムサンプルを100℃のオーブン中に30分間、1.5gの荷重下で放置した後、再び2本のライン間の距離を23℃で測定しこれをL1とし、下式により熱収縮率を求めた。
テレフタル酸41.1質量部とエチレングリコールの反応物であるビス-β-ヒドロキシエチルテレフタレート(以下、BHTという)46.4質量部を、予め255℃の溶融状態で貯留させ、さらにテレフタル酸45.3質量部とエチレングリコール19.5質量部からなるスラリーを、反応槽の温度を保ち定量供給しながら、水を留出させ、エステル化反応をさせた。反応を開始してから4時間40分後にエステル化を終了し、この反応生成物であるBHTを重縮合反応槽に移し、トリメチルフォスフェート0.02質量部添加した。次いで、酢酸マグネシウム0.06質量部、酢酸リチウム0.001質量部、三酸化アンチモン0.02質量部を添加して、40分で25Paになるまで減圧するとともに290℃まで加熱、昇温して重縮合反応を行い、固有粘度0.62に到達まで実施した。反応終了後、重縮合反応槽底部にある口金より冷水中にストランド状に吐出し、押し出しカッターによって円柱状にペレット化したホモポリエステルペレット1を得た。
延伸条件、冷却条件、熱処理温度などの製膜条件を表1記載の通りに変更したほかは実施例1と同様に実施した。得られたフィルムの特性を表1に示した。
押出機Aに上述のホモポリエステルペレット1を99質量部と上述のポリエステルペレット2を20質量部との混合原料を、160℃で3時間減圧乾燥した後に供給し、逐次2軸方式にて表1に従って延伸条件、冷却条件、熱処理温度などの製膜条件を変え、その他は実施例1と同様に実施し、二軸配向ポリエステルフィルムを得た。得られたフィルムの特性を表1に示した。
フラットイルミネーター(HF-SL-100WLCG;電通産業製)の発光面に合う大きさの偏光板1枚を乗せ、観察対象とした同じサイズの実施例及び比較例のフィルムを積層した状態とし、フラットイルミネーターの電源を入れ、直線偏光が対象フィルムを通過した状態を作った。この状態で更に別の同じ大きさの偏光板を乗せ、対象フィルムの上に乗せた偏光板だけを0~360°回転させて観察し、回転させている最中に評価対象のフィルムを通した光について位置毎のムラ及び色合いの変化を観察した。
