Moreover, with the widening and lengthening of the resin film, the occurrence of such problems has become more prominent. Therefore, a long resin film (film roll) wound up in such a roll shape is a deviation (winding shift) of the end surface of the wound resin film or a deformation (winding) of the wound resin film. In order to suppress the occurrence of deformation, etc., before winding into a roll shape, embossed portions are formed along the longitudinal direction at both ends in the width direction of the resin film, and the resin film on which the embossed portions are formed is wound. It is being considered to take.
- Examples of a method for producing a film roll by winding a resin film having an embossed portion around a core include the method described in Patent Document 1.
- Patent Document 1 after the straight winding step of winding the film around a core so that the side edges of the film are aligned, and after the straight winding step, the side edges are within a certain range with respect to the width direction of the film.
- the film winding method includes an oscillating winding step of periodically vibrating the film or the core in the width direction of the film so as to periodically shift the film and winding the film around the core. ing.

- the present inventor has inferred the reason why the above problem cannot be sufficiently suppressed even when the oscillating winding is performed as in the winding method described in Patent Document 1. Even in the case of oscillating winding as in the winding method described in Patent Document 1, if the oscillation of the oscillating winding is simply sinusoidal vibration, the region where the embossed portion in the width direction of the film roll exists It was inferred that the occurrence of problems such as deformation could not be sufficiently suppressed due to the fact that many embossed portions overlapped with the central portion. Therefore, the present inventor has arrived at the present invention as described below by examining in detail the vibration that changes the relative position between the resin film and the core when the film is wound.
- An optical film roll manufacturing method includes a resin film manufacturing process for manufacturing a long resin film having an embossed portion along the longitudinal direction at both ends in the width direction, and winding the resin film.

- a function f (x) having the distance from the center position in the width direction of the core as a y-axis and the area surrounded by the x-axis is a function a of sinusoidal vibration having the same amplitude and cycle as the f (x).
- the resin film manufactured in the resin film manufacturing process is wound up in a roll shape around the core, and even when stored for a long period of time, deformation is sufficient. It is possible to produce an optical film roll suppressed in the above. This is because the vibration that changes the relative position between the resin film and the core in the vibration winding step is embossed in the state of a film roll in which the resin film is wound around the core as described later. This is considered to be due to the vibration that effectively reduces the overlap of the parts.
- the side shape of the obtained optical film roll becomes wavy due to the vibration.
- the sharpness of the top of the convex portion of the wave shape becomes gentler when the side surface shape is the case of the vibration at f (x) than the case of the sinusoidal vibration. Therefore, the occurrence of damage to the side surface shape of the optical film roll can also be suppressed.
- the resin film manufacturing process is not particularly limited as long as it is a process for manufacturing a long resin film having an embossed portion along the longitudinal direction at both ends in the width direction. Specifically, it will be described later.

- the winding of the resin film 2 around the core 1 is performed by rotating the core 1 by rotating the resin film 2 that has traveled to the surface of the core 1 with a rotating device, as shown in FIG. It is performed by winding up sequentially on the surface of the film.
- vibration is applied to change the relative position between the resin film and the core.
- the vibration control device 4 controls the vibration, which will be described later.

- the x-axis in the graph shown in FIG. 2 indicates the integrated thickness [mm] of the resin film being wound at the position of the resin film that starts to be wound around the core. That is, the distance between the outermost surface of the wound resin film and the surface of the core at the position of the resin film that starts to be wound around the core, and corresponds to the integrated thickness x of the resin film shown in FIG. .
- the vibration in this embodiment is a vibration that becomes a function represented by the curve 51 shown in FIG.

- the vibration amplitude A in the vibration winding process may be a function that gradually increases as the integrated thickness x of the resin film increases.
- the amplitude A of vibration in the vibration winding process gradually increases as the integrated thickness of the resin film increases.
- the amplitude of vibration is large, the overlapping of the embossed portions can be further suppressed and the occurrence of deformation can be further suppressed.
- the actually usable width of the resin film drawn out from the optical film roll and used is shortened. That is, the embossed portion and the portion that comes into contact with the embossed portion increase, and the width that can be used as a product is shortened.

- an optical film roll capable of smoothly feeding the resin film immediately after the start of feeding can be obtained. That is, since the winding without vibration as described above is performed after the vibration winding process, it is possible to suppress the problem of unwinding that may occur immediately after the start of unwinding of the resin film.

- the embossed part formed in this way is preferable. If it is such an embossed part, the film roll which can suppress generation
- the overlap of the embossed portion in the center in the width direction is larger than the end portion of the embossed portion. If the convex part 5b which exists in the width direction center part of the embossed part 5 as mentioned above is a low embossed part, it is thought that the overlap of the width direction center part of an embossed part can be decreased.

ハードコートフィルムは、硬度の指標である鉛筆硬度がHB以上、より好ましくはH以上である。HB以上であれば、このハードコートフィルムを用いて偏光板を製造する工程で、傷が付きにくい。鉛筆硬度は、作製した光学性フィルムを温度23℃、相対湿度55%の条件で2時間以上調湿した後、加重500g条件でJIS S6006が規定する試験用鉛筆を用いて、ハードコート層及び又は機能性層をJIS K5400が規定する鉛筆硬度評価方法に従い測定した値である。
他の層としては、光学フィルムに備える層であれば特に限定されない。具体的には、反射防止層や導電性層等が挙げられる。また、ハードコート層上に他の層を備える場合、ハードコートフィルムには、そのフィルム上や、ハードコート層と基材フィルムとの間等に、反射防止層や導電性層等の、他の層を設けることができる。

高屈折率層の屈折率は、23℃、波長550nm測定で、屈折率を1.4~2.2の範囲に調整することが好ましい。また、高屈折率層の厚さは5nm~1μmが好ましく、10nm~0.2μmであることが更に好ましく、30nm~0.1μmであることが最も好ましい。屈折率を調整する手段は、金属酸化物微粒子等を添加することで達成できる。
ハードコートフィルムには、ハードコート層上に導電性層を形成しても良い。設けられる導電性層としては、一般的に広く知られた導電性材料を用いることができる。例えば、酸化インジウム、酸化錫、酸化インジウム錫、金、銀、パラジウム等の金属酸化物を用いることができる。これらは、真空蒸着法、スパッタリング法、イオンプレーティング法、溶液塗布法等により、ハードコートフィルム上に薄膜として形成することができる。また、前記したπ共役系導電性ポリマーである有機導電性材料を用いて、導電性層を形成することも可能である。
