Description

폴리에스테르 수지를 함유하는 프라이머층을 포함하는 광학 필름 및 이를 이용한 편광판Optical film comprising a primer layer containing a polyester resin and a polarizing plate using the same
본 발명은 광학 필름 및 이를 포함하는 편광판에 관한 것으로, 보다 구체적으로는 폴리에스테르 수지를 포함하는 프라이머층을 포함하고, 기재 필름과 프라이머층의 굴절률 차가 0.03 이하인 광학 필름 및 이를 포함하는 편광판에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to an optical film and a polarizing plate including the same, and more particularly, to an optical film including a primer layer including a polyester resin and having a refractive index difference between the base film and the primer layer of 0.03 or less, and a polarizing plate including the same. .
편광판은 통상 이색성 염료 또는 요오드로 염색된 폴리비닐알코올(Polyvinyl alcohol, 이하 'PVA'라 함)계 수지로 이루어진 편광자의 일면 또는 양면에 접착제를 이용하여 보호필름을 적층한 구조로 사용되어 왔다. 종래에는 편광판 보호 필름으로 트리아세틸셀룰로오스(TAC, triacetyl cellulose)계 필름이 주로 사용되어 왔으나, 이러한 TAC 필름의 경우 고온, 고습 환경에서 쉽게 변형된다는 문제점이 있었다. 따라서, 최근에는 TAC 필름을 대체할 수 있는 다양한 재질의 보호 필름들이 개발되고 있으며, 예를 들면, 폴리에틸렌 테레프탈레이트(PET, polyethylene terephthalate), 싸이클로올레핀 폴리머(COP, cycloolefin polymer), 아크릴계 필름 등을 단독 또는 혼합하여 사용하는 방안이 제안되었다.The polarizing plate has been commonly used as a structure in which a protective film is laminated using one or both surfaces of a polarizer made of polyvinyl alcohol (hereinafter referred to as 'PVA')-based resin dyed with dichroic dye or iodine. Conventionally, a triacetyl cellulose (TAC) film has been mainly used as a polarizer protective film, but such a TAC film has a problem in that it is easily deformed in a high temperature and high humidity environment. Accordingly, recently, protective films of various materials that can replace TAC films have been developed. For example, polyethylene terephthalate (PET), cycloolefin polymer (COP, cycloolefin polymer), and acrylic films may be used alone. Or a mixed use has been proposed.
한편, 상기와 같은 편광자 보호 필름은 반사 방지, 내구성 향상, 스크래치 방지, 시인성 향상 등의 목적에서 편광자가 부착된 면의 반대 면에 반사방지층, 하드코팅층과 같은 다양한 기능성 코팅층을 포함할 수 있다. 이러한 기능성 코팅층들은 일반적으로 보호 필름상에 베이스 수지(base resin), 용제, 첨가제 등을 포함하는 코팅 조성물을 도포한 후 경화시키는 방법으로 형성된다. 그러나, 보호 필름의 종류에 따라 이러한 기능성 코팅층과의 접착력이 충분하지 못한 경우가 있으며, 이 경우 기능성 코팅층이 보호 필름으로부터 박리되거나, 손상되어 편광판의 성능을 저하시키는 문제점이 있다. Meanwhile, the polarizer protective film as described above may include various functional coating layers such as an antireflection layer and a hard coating layer on the opposite side of the surface to which the polarizer is attached for the purpose of antireflection, durability improvement, scratch prevention, and visibility improvement. Such functional coating layers are generally formed by applying a coating composition including a base resin, a solvent, an additive, and the like on a protective film and then curing the coating composition. However, depending on the type of protective film, the adhesive strength with such a functional coating layer may not be sufficient. In this case, the functional coating layer may be peeled off or damaged from the protective film, thereby degrading the performance of the polarizing plate.
이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해, 보호 필름의 표면에 플라즈마 처리, 코로나 처리 등의 표면 처리를 수행하거나, 프라이머층을 형성하는 등의 방안이 제안되었으나, 현재까지 제안된 방법으로는 보호 필름, 특히 아크릴계 보호 필름과 기능성 코팅층의 접착력을 충분히 확보할 수 없었다. 예를 들면, 종래의 보호 필름용 프라이머층으로 제안되었던 우레탄계 수지의 경우, 내수성 및 내용제성이 낮아, 고습하에서 장기간 보관할 시 수분 침투로 인해 접착력이 저하되거나, 프라이머층 상에 유기 용제를 포함하는 코팅 조성물을 도포할 경우, 코팅 조성물에 포함된 유기 용매로 인해 프라이머층이 용해되어 프라이머층이 필름으로부터 탈착되는 문제점이 있었다.In order to solve this problem, a method of performing surface treatment such as plasma treatment, corona treatment, or forming a primer layer on the surface of the protective film has been proposed. The adhesion between the film and the functional coating layer could not be sufficiently secured. For example, in the case of a urethane-based resin that has been proposed as a primer layer for a conventional protective film, the water resistance and solvent resistance is low, the adhesive strength is reduced due to moisture infiltration during long-term storage under high humidity, or a coating containing an organic solvent on the primer layer When applying the composition, the primer layer is dissolved due to the organic solvent included in the coating composition, there was a problem that the primer layer is detached from the film.
뿐만 아니라, 반사 방지 및 스크래치 방지를 위한 기능성 코팅층의 경우, 서로 크기가 다른 실리카를 이용하여 난반사를 시켜 반사율을 낮춰 반사방지 기능을 부여하거나, 굴절률이 낮은 층을 이용하여 반사율을 1%대로 낮춤으로써 반사방지 기능을 부여하게 된다. 이처럼 크기가 다른 실리카를 이용하거나, 굴절률이 낮은 층을 이용하는 경우, 코팅층이 투명하기 때문에 프라이머층과 아크릴 필름간의 굴절률 차이가 클 경우, 빛의 간섭에 의한 레인보우 현상이 나타난다는 문제점이 있다.In addition, in the case of the functional coating layer for anti-reflection and scratch prevention, diffuse reflection is performed by using diffused silica with different sizes to give the anti-reflection function by lowering the reflectance, or by lowering the reflectance to 1% by using a layer having a low refractive index. It will give anti-reflection function. When using different sizes of silica or using a low refractive index layer, since the coating layer is transparent, there is a problem in that a rainbow phenomenon due to interference of light appears when the difference in refractive index between the primer layer and the acrylic film is large.
따라서, 상기와 같은 문제점을 해결하기 위하여, 내수성 및 내용제성이 우수한 프라이머층을 통하여, 우수한 접착력을 갖는 동시에, 우수한 광학특성을 갖는 광학 필름 및 편광판을 개발할 필요가 있다.Accordingly, in order to solve the above problems, it is necessary to develop an optical film and a polarizing plate having excellent adhesive properties and excellent optical properties through a primer layer having excellent water resistance and solvent resistance.

본 발명에 따른 광학 필름은 프라이머층으로 내용제성 및 내수성이 우수한 폴리에스테르 수지를 주성분으로 포함하기 때문에, 기능성 코팅층 조성물에 포함된 유기 용제에 의해 기재 필름이 손상되는 것을 최소화할 수 있고, 기능성 코팅층과 기재 필름의 밀착력이 향상되어, 기능성 코팅층의 박리를 효과적으로 방지할 수 있다.Since the optical film according to the present invention contains a polyester resin having excellent solvent resistance and water resistance as a main component as a primer layer, it is possible to minimize the damage of the base film by the organic solvent included in the functional coating layer composition, and the functional coating layer Adhesion of a base film is improved and peeling of a functional coating layer can be prevented effectively.
또한, 기재 필름과 프라이머층 간의 굴절률 차이가 작아, 기재 필름과 프라이머층간 반사율 차이에 의해 발생하는 레인보우 현상과 같은 광학 결점 발생을 최소화할 수 있다.In addition, the difference in the refractive index between the base film and the primer layer is small, it is possible to minimize the occurrence of optical defects such as the rainbow phenomenon caused by the difference in reflectance between the base film and the primer layer.
한편, 레인보우 현상은, 광 반사에 의해 발생하는 빛의 간섭에 의한 얼룩을 말하는 것으로, 기재 필름과 프라이머층 간의 굴절률 차이가 큰 경우, 기재 필름의 표면에서 반사된 빛과 프라이머층 표면에서 반사된 빛의 중첩으로 발생되는 빛의 파장별 반사율의 차이가 크기 때문에 발생한다. 이러한 레인보우 현상은 시인성을 약화시키며, 눈의 피로를 일으키게 된다. 따라서, 프라이머층의 굴절률이 기재 필름의 굴절률과 0.03이내의 차이를 갖게 되는 경우, 파장별 반사율의 차이가 크지 않아, 레인보우 현상을 억제할 수 있다.On the other hand, the rainbow phenomenon refers to unevenness caused by interference of light generated by light reflection, and when the refractive index difference between the base film and the primer layer is large, the light reflected from the surface of the base film and the light reflected from the surface of the primer layer This occurs because the difference in reflectance of each wavelength of light generated by overlapping is large. This rainbow phenomenon weakens visibility and causes eye fatigue. Therefore, when the refractive index of a primer layer has a difference within 0.03 from the refractive index of a base film, the difference in reflectance for each wavelength is not large, and rainbow phenomenon can be suppressed.

Moreover, when polydimethylol dimethylol alkanoic acid dimethylol acetic acid, dimethylol propionic acid, dimethylol butanoic acid, etc. which contain a carboxyl group are used individually or in combination of 2 or more types, it is especially preferable at the point of water dispersibility.
한편, 상기 폴리에스테르 글리콜은 다염기산과 폴리올을 2.5 : 1 내지 1: 2.5의 몰비, 바람직하게는 2.3 : 1 내지 1 : 2.3의 몰비, 더 바람직하게는, 2:1 내지 1:2의 몰비로 반응시켜 형성되는 것이 바람직하다. 다염기산과 폴리올의 반응 몰비가 상기 수치 범위를 벗어나는 경우, 미반응 단량체에 의해 냄새가 발생하거나, 코팅 불량을 유발할 수 있기 때문이다.Meanwhile, the polyester glycol reacts the polybasic acid and the polyol in a molar ratio of 2.5: 1 to 1: 2.5, preferably in a molar ratio of 2.3: 1 to 1: 2.3, more preferably in a molar ratio of 2: 1 to 1: 2. Is preferably formed. This is because when the reaction molar ratio of the polybasic acid and the polyol is outside the above numerical range, an odor may occur or unsatisfactory coating may occur due to the unreacted monomer.
한편, 본 발명의 특징은 기재 필름과 프라이머층의 굴절률 차가 0.03 이하인 광학 필름으로서, 상기의 다염기산의 조성비를 조절함으로써, 굴절률 차가 0.03이하의 값을 갖도록 하는 것이다.On the other hand, a feature of the present invention is an optical film having a refractive index difference between the base film and the primer layer of 0.03 or less, wherein the difference in refractive index is set to 0.03 or less by adjusting the composition ratio of the polybasic acid.
앞에서 살펴본 바와 같이, 상기 폴리에스테르 수지는 다염기산과 폴리올의 반응에 의해 형성되는 폴리에스테르글리콜을 포함하고, 상기 다염기산은 방향족 카르복시산 화합물 및 지방족 카르복시산 화합물을 포함하며, 이때, 상기 다염기산은 방향족 카르복시산 화합물 및 지방족 카르복시산 화합물이 1:9 내지 9:1 정도의 몰비로 포함하는 것이 바람직하다. 더욱 바람직하게는 2:8 내지 8:2 정도의 몰비로 포함된다. 상기 수치 범위를 만족할 경우, 기재 필름과 프라이머층의 굴절률 차가 0.03이하가 되도록 조절이 가능하며, 표면이 tacky하지 않고 고르게 형성될 수 있다.As described above, the polyester resin comprises a polyester glycol formed by the reaction of a polybasic acid and a polyol, the polybasic acid includes an aromatic carboxylic acid compound and an aliphatic carboxylic acid compound, wherein the polybasic acid is an aromatic carboxylic acid compound and an aliphatic It is preferable that the carboxylic acid compound is contained in a molar ratio of about 1: 9 to 9: 1. More preferably in a molar ratio of about 2: 8 to 8: 2. When the numerical range is satisfied, the refractive index difference between the base film and the primer layer may be adjusted to be 0.03 or less, and the surface may be evenly formed without tacky.
보다 구체적으로, 방향족 카르복시산 화합물의 함량이 지방족 카르복시산 화합물의 함량에 비해 적을 경우, 프라이머층의 굴절률이 감소하고, 방향족 카르복시산의 함량이 많을 경우, 프라이머층의 굴절률이 증가한다. 즉, 하기에 기재된 기재 필름의 굴절률에 근접하도록 조절이 가능하다.More specifically, when the content of the aromatic carboxylic acid compound is less than that of the aliphatic carboxylic acid compound, the refractive index of the primer layer decreases, and when the content of the aromatic carboxylic acid is large, the refractive index of the primer layer increases. That is, adjustment is possible so as to be close to the refractive index of the base film described below.
굴절률(n)은 하기 수학식 1과 같이, 진공에서의 빛의 속도(Cv)에 대한 매질을 지난 빛의 속도(Cm)의 비로서, 빛이 전자밀도가 높은 매질을 지나갈 경우 전자와의 상호인력에 의해 빛의 속도가 느려지기 때문에 굴절률이 증가하게 된다. 구체적으로, 방향족 고리는 2p orbital에 π전자들이 공유되어있는 구조를 가지고 있어, 평평한 방향족 고리에 전자들이 떠다니는 구조에 의해 전자밀도가 높기 때문에, 지방족에 비해 조사되는 빛과 상호작용하기 쉽다. 따라서, 상기에서 살펴본 바와 같이 빛이 방향족고리를 많이 가진 매질을 통과하게 되면 속도가 줄어들어 굴절률이 증가하게 된다.The refractive index (n) is a ratio of the speed (Cm) of the light passing through the medium to the speed (Cv) of the light in vacuum, as shown in Equation 1 below, when the light passes through the medium having high electron density, Since the attraction speed is slowed down, the refractive index increases. Specifically, since the aromatic ring has a structure in which π electrons are shared in 2p orbital, and electrons are high due to the structure in which electrons float on a flat aromatic ring, it is easy to interact with light irradiated compared to aliphatic. Therefore, as described above, when light passes through a medium having a large number of aromatic rings, the speed decreases and the refractive index increases.
[수학식 1][Equation 1]
n=Cv/Cmn = Cv / Cm
한편, 상기 폴리에스테르 수지는 필요에 따라, 아크릴계 단량체 성분을 추가로 공중합하여, 에스테르 단위와 함께 아크릴계 단위를 포함하는 폴리에스테르 아크릴 수지가 될 수도 있다. 이 경우 폴리에스테르 단위는 기재의 밀착성을 증가시키는 역할을 하고 아크릴계 단위는 내용제성을 더욱 향상 시킬 수 있다.On the other hand, the polyester resin may be further copolymerized with an acrylic monomer component, if necessary, to a polyester acrylic resin containing an acrylic unit together with the ester unit. In this case, the polyester unit serves to increase the adhesion of the substrate and the acrylic unit may further improve the solvent resistance.
본 발명에서 사용 가능한 상기 아크릴계 단량체는, 예를 들면, 알킬 (메트)아크릴레이트, 알킬 아크릴레이트, 에폭시(메트)아크릴레이트, 하이드록시 알킬 아크릴레이트, 카르보닐기를 포함한 알킬 (메트)아크릴산, 알킬 아크릴산, 술폰산염을 포함한 아크릴레이트로 이루어진 군으로부터 선택된 1종 이상일 수 있다. 이때, 상기 술폰산염을 포함한 아크릴레이트는 예를 들면, 소듐 2-메틸-2-프로펜-1-술폰산염을 포함하는 아크릴레이트, 소듐 아릴 술폰산염을 포함하는 아크릴레이트, 2-프로펜-1-술폰산염을 포함하는 아크릴레이트 등일 수 있다. 한편, 상기 아크릴계 단량체 중에서도 에폭시기를 함유한 에폭시 아크릴레이트 단량체를 폴리에스테르 수지에 공중합할 경우, 에폭시 고리가 고온에서 해리되어 에폭시 고리 간의 부가 중합 반응이 발생하여 가교화되면서 폴리에스테르 주쇄의 고온 내구성을 향상시킴으로써 고온 안정성이 증가하는 장점이 있다.The acrylic monomers usable in the present invention include, for example, alkyl (meth) acrylates, alkyl acrylates, epoxy (meth) acrylates, hydroxy alkyl acrylates, alkyl (meth) acrylic acids including alkyl groups, alkyl acrylic acids, It may be at least one selected from the group consisting of acrylates including sulfonates. At this time, the acrylate including the sulfonate is, for example, an acrylate including sodium 2-methyl-2-propene-1-sulfonate, an acrylate including sodium aryl sulfonate, 2-propene-1 Acrylates including sulfonates. On the other hand, when the epoxy acrylate monomer containing an epoxy group is copolymerized to the polyester resin among the acrylic monomers, the epoxy ring is dissociated at high temperature to generate an addition polymerization reaction between the epoxy rings and crosslinking to improve the high temperature durability of the polyester main chain. By doing so, there is an advantage that the high temperature stability is increased.
보다 바람직하게는, 본 발명의 상기 폴리에스테르 수지에는, 2종 이상의 아크릴계 단량체가 포함될 수 있으며, 가장 바람직하게는 알킬 (메트)아크릴레이트 단량체와, 글리시딜 (메트)아크릴레이트와 같은 에폭시 (메트)아크릴레이트 단량체가 추가로 포함될 수 있다.More preferably, the polyester resin of the present invention may include two or more kinds of acrylic monomers, most preferably an alkyl (meth) acrylate monomer and an epoxy (meth) such as glycidyl (meth) acrylate. ) Acrylate monomers may further be included.
이때, 상기와 같이 폴리에스테르 수지에 아크릴계 단량체를 추가로 포함한 경우, 즉, 다염기산과 폴리올의 반응에 의해 형성되는 폴리에스테르글리콜에 아크릴계 단량체를 추가로 공중합하여 폴리에스테르 아크릴 수지를 형성하는 경우, 상기 폴리에스테르글리콜과 아크릴계 단량체의 중량비는 2:8 내지 7:3 정도, 더 바람직하게는 3:7 내지 7:3 정도일 수 있다. 폴리에스테르글리콜과 아크릴계 단량체의 중량비가 상기 수치 범위를 만족할 경우, 프라이머층의 기재와의 밀착성 및 내용제성 등의 특성이 우수하게 나타나며, 특히, 기재 필름과 프라이머층의 굴절률 차가 0.03이하가 되도록 조절이 가능하다. 상기 중량비가 2:8 이하인 경우, 프라이머층의 코팅성이 저하 될 수도 있다. 보다 구체적으로, 아크릴계 단량체 대비 폴리에스테르글리콜의 중량비에 비례하여 프라이머층의 굴절률이 변화하여, 하기에 기재된 기재 필름의 굴절률에 근접하도록 조절이 가능하다. 이는 상기에서 살펴본 바와 같이, 폴리에스테르에는 방향족 고리가 포함되어 있고 아크릴 수지는 지방족으로 이루어져 있기 때문에, 폴리에스테르의 함량이 적어지면 빛과 상호작용할 수 있는 방향족 고리가 적어져서 굴절률이 낮아지게 되는 것이다.In this case, when the acrylic resin is further included in the polyester resin as described above, that is, when the acrylic monomer is further copolymerized with the polyester glycol formed by the reaction of the polybasic acid and the polyol to form the polyester acrylic resin, the poly The weight ratio of the ester glycol and the acrylic monomer may be about 2: 8 to 7: 3, more preferably about 3: 7 to 7: 3. When the weight ratio of the polyester glycol to the acrylic monomer satisfies the above numerical range, properties such as adhesion and solvent resistance of the primer layer to the substrate are excellent, and in particular, the adjustment is performed so that the difference in refractive index between the base film and the primer layer is 0.03 or less. It is possible. When the weight ratio is 2: 8 or less, the coating property of the primer layer may be lowered. More specifically, the refractive index of the primer layer changes in proportion to the weight ratio of the polyester glycol to the acrylic monomer, so that the adjustment can be made to approach the refractive index of the base film described below. As described above, since the polyester contains an aromatic ring and the acrylic resin is composed of aliphatic, the less the content of the polyester, the less the aromatic ring that can interact with the light will have a lower refractive index.
한편, 상기 폴리에스테르 수지의 제조 방법은 당해 기술 분야에 알려진 임의의 적절한 방법을 채용할 수 있다. 예를 들면 다염기산과 폴리올의 에스테르화반응 후, 중축합하는 방법 또는 다염기산 무수물과 폴리올의 에스테르화반응 후, 축중합 하는 방법 등에 의해 제조될 수 있으며, 보다 구체적으로는, 상기 방법들은 (1) 폴리에스테르의 중합을 위한 중합원료를 혼합하여 원료혼합물을 수득하는 원료혼합단계, (2) 상기 원료혼합물을 에스테르화시키는 에스테르화반응단계 및 (3) 에스테르화된 원료혼합물을 중축합시켜 폴리에스테르를 수득하는 중축합단계를 포함하여 이루어질 수 있다.In addition, the manufacturing method of the said polyester resin can employ | adopt any suitable method known in the art. For example, it may be prepared by a method of polycondensation after esterification of a polybasic acid and a polyol, or a method of polycondensation after an esterification reaction of a polybasic anhydride and a polyol, and more specifically, the methods may include (1) polyester A raw material mixing step of mixing a polymerization raw material for the polymerization of to obtain a raw material mixture, (2) an esterification step of esterifying the raw material mixture and (3) a polycondensation to obtain a polyester by polycondensing the esterified raw material mixture It may be achieved including a step of combining.
폴리에스테르 수지를 제조한 후, 온도를 100℃ 이하로 낮추고 폴리에스테르의 산이나 하이드록시 작용기와 반응하는 아크릴 단량체를 촉매와 같이 투입함으로써, 폴리에스테르의 말단을 아크릴레이트화 한다. 이것을 고속 교반하며 물에 분산시킨 다음, 개시제를 투입하여 유화중합에 의한 아크릴 중합을 하여 폴리에스테르 아크릴 수지를 제조할 수 있다.After preparing a polyester resin, the temperature is lowered to 100 degrees C or less, and the acrylic monomer which reacts with the acid or hydroxy functional group of a polyester is injected like a catalyst, and the terminal of polyester is acrylated. After dispersing this in water with high speed stirring, an initiator may be added to acrylic polymerization by emulsion polymerization, thereby preparing a polyester acrylic resin.

상기 수분산성 미립자 중에서도 실리카가 특히 바람직하다. 실리카는 블로킹 억제능이 더욱 우수하고, 또한 투명성이 우수하여, 헤이즈를 발생시키지 않고, 착색도 없으므로, 편광판의 광학 특성에 미치는 영향이 보다 작기 때문이다. 또한, 콜리이달 실리카는 프라이머 조성물에 대한 분산성 및 분산 안정성이 양호하므로, 프라이머층 형성 시의 작업성도 보다 우수하다.Among the water-dispersible fine particles, silica is particularly preferable. This is because silica is more excellent in blocking inhibitory ability, has excellent transparency, does not generate haze, and there is no coloring, and therefore, the influence on the optical properties of the polarizing plate is smaller. In addition, since colloidal silica has good dispersibility and dispersion stability with respect to the primer composition, workability at the time of forming the primer layer is also excellent.
한편, 상기 수분산성 미립자는 평균 직경(평균 1차 입자 직경)이 10 내지 200nm 정도, 더욱 바람직하게는 20 내지 70nm 정도인 것이 좋다. 수분산성 미립자의 평균 직경이 10nm보다 작을 때는 표면에너지가 높아지므로 프라이머 조성물 내에서 수분산성 입자의 응집 및 침전이 일어나 용액의 안정성이 저해될 수 있고, 평균 직경이 200nm 보다 큰 경우에는 수분산성 입자가 프라이머 조성물 내에서 분산이 고르게 일어나지 않고, 입자가 뭉치면서 가시광선(400nm-800nm) 파장보다 크기가 커져서 400nm 이상의 빛을 산란하여 헤이즈가 상승하게 된다. 상기와 같은 범위의 입자 직경을 갖는 미립자를 이용함으로써, 프라이머층 표면에 적절히 요철을 형성하여, 특히 아크릴계 필름과 프라이머층 및/또는 프라이머층끼리의 접촉면에 있어서의 마찰력을 효과적으로 저감시킬 수 있다. 그 결과, 블로킹 억제능이 더욱 우수할 수 있다.On the other hand, the water-dispersible fine particles have an average diameter (average primary particle diameter) of about 10 to 200 nm, more preferably about 20 to 70 nm. When the average diameter of the water-dispersible microparticles is smaller than 10 nm, the surface energy is increased, so that the dispersion and precipitation of the water-dispersible particles in the primer composition may be inhibited, and the stability of the solution may be inhibited. When the average diameter is larger than 200 nm, the water-dispersible particles may be Dispersion does not occur evenly in the primer composition, and when the particles aggregate, the size is larger than the visible light (400 nm to 800 nm) wavelength, so that light of 400 nm or more is scattered and the haze is increased. By using fine particles having a particle diameter in the above range, irregularities are appropriately formed on the surface of the primer layer, and in particular, the frictional force on the contact surface between the acrylic film and the primer layer and / or the primer layers can be effectively reduced. As a result, the blocking inhibiting ability can be further excellent.

When the content of the acrylic compound in comparison with the polyester resin satisfies the numerical range, since the refractive index difference with the base film can be adjusted to a desired range, the occurrence of rainbow may be reduced. In particular, it can adjust so that the refractive index difference of a base film and a primer layer may be 0.03 or less.

본 발명의 광학 필름에 있어서, 상기 기재 필름은 굴절률이 1.45 내지 1.65인 것을 이용하는 것이 바람직하다. 보다 구체적으로, 아크릴계 필름의 경우, 굴절률이 1.45 내지 1.55 정도이고, 에스테르계 필름의 경우, 굴절률이 1.55 내지 1.65정도이다.In the optical film of the present invention, the base film preferably has a refractive index of 1.45 to 1.65.

In this case, the mixer used for extrusion kneading is not specifically limited, For example, arbitrary appropriate mixers, such as an extruder, such as a single screw extruder and a twin screw extruder, and a pressurized kneader, can be used.
상기 필름 성형의 방법으로서는, 예를 들어 용액 캐스트법(용액 유연법), 용융 압출법, 캘린더법, 압축 성형법 등 임의의 적절한 필름 성형법을 들 수 있다. 이들 필름 성형법 중 용액 캐스트 법(용액 유연법), 용융 압출법이 바람직하다.As a method of the said film shaping | molding, arbitrary suitable film shaping | molding methods, such as the solution casting method (solution casting method), the melt extrusion method, the calender method, the compression molding method, are mentioned, for example. Among these film forming methods, a solution cast method (solution casting method) and a melt extrusion method are preferable.

These solvents may be used independently or may use 2 or more types together.
상기 용액 캐스트법(용액 유연법)을 실시하기 위한 장치로는 예를 들어 드럼식 캐스팅 머신, 밴드식 캐스팅 머신, 스핀 코터 등을 들 수 있다. 상기 용융 압출법으로는 예를 들어 T 다이법, 인플레이션법 등을 들 수 있다. 성형 온도는 바람직하게는 150~350℃, 보다 바람직하게는 200~300℃ 이다. As an apparatus for performing the said solution casting method (solution casting method), a drum type casting machine, a band type casting machine, a spin coater, etc. are mentioned, for example. Examples of the melt extrusion method include a T-die method and an inflation method. Molding temperature becomes like this. Preferably it is 150-350 degreeC, More preferably, it is 200-300 degreeC.
상기 T 다이법으로 필름을 성형하는 경우에는, 공지된 단축 압출기나 2축 압출기의 선단부에 T 다이를 장착하고, 필름 형상으로 압출된 필름을 권취하여 롤 형상의 필름을 얻을 수 있다. 이 때, 권취롤의 온도를 적절히 조정하여 압출 방향으로 연신을 가함으로써 1축 연신할 수도 있다. 또한, 압출 방향과 수직인 방향으로 필름을 연신함으로써 동시 2축 연신, 축차 2축 연신 등을 실시할 수도 있다. When forming a film by the said T die method, a T die can be attached to the front-end | tip of a well-known single screw extruder or a twin screw extruder, the film extruded in film shape can be rolled, and a roll-shaped film can be obtained. Under the present circumstances, you may uniaxially stretch by adjusting the temperature of a winding roll suitably and extending | stretching in an extrusion direction. Moreover, simultaneous biaxial stretching, sequential biaxial stretching, etc. can also be performed by extending | stretching a film in the direction perpendicular | vertical to an extrusion direction.
상기 아크릴계 필름은 미연신 필름 또는 연신 필름 중 어느 것일 수 있다. 연신 필름인 경우에는 1축 연신 필름 또는 2축 연신 필름 일 수 있고, 2축 연신 필름인 경우에는 동시 2축 연신 필름 또는 축차 2축 연신 필름 중 어느 것일 수 있다. 2축 연신한 경우에는 기계적 강도가 향상되어 필름 성능이 향상된다. 아크릴계 필름은 다른 열가소성 수지를 혼합함으로써, 연신하는 경우에도 위상차의 증대를 억제할 수 있고, 광학적 등방성을 유지할 수 있다. The acrylic film may be any of an unoriented film or a stretched film. In the case of a stretched film, it may be a uniaxial stretched film or a biaxially stretched film, and in the case of a biaxially stretched film, it may be either a simultaneous biaxially stretched film or a successive biaxially stretched film. In the case of biaxial stretching, the mechanical strength is improved and the film performance is improved. By mixing another thermoplastic resin, an acryl-type film can suppress an increase of retardation even when extending | stretching, and can maintain optical isotropy.
연신 온도는, 필름 원료인 열가소성 수지 조성물의 유리전이 온도 근처의 범위인 것이 바람직하고, 바람직하게는 (유리 전이 온도 -30℃)~(유리 전이 온도 + 100℃), 보다 바람직하게는 (유리전이온도 -20℃)~(유리전이온도 + 80℃)의 범위 내이다. 연신 온도가 (유리 전이 온도 -30℃) 미만이면 충분한 연신 배율이 얻어지지 않을 우려가 있다. 반대로, 연신 온도가 (유리 전이 온도 + 100℃)를 초과하면, 수지 조성물의 유동(플로우)이 일어나, 안정적인 연신을 실시하지 못할 우려가 있다. It is preferable that extending | stretching temperature is a range near the glass transition temperature of the thermoplastic resin composition which is a film raw material, Preferably it is (glass transition temperature -30 degreeC)-(glass transition temperature +100 degreeC), More preferably, it is (glass transition Temperature -20 ° C) to (glass transition temperature + 80 ° C). If the stretching temperature is less than (glass transition temperature -30 ° C), there is a fear that a sufficient stretching ratio may not be obtained. On the contrary, when extending | stretching temperature exceeds (glass transition temperature +100 degreeC), the flow (flow) of a resin composition arises and there exists a possibility of not being able to perform stable extending | stretching.
면적비로 정의한 연신 배율은, 바람직하게는 1.1~25배, 보다 바람직하게는 1.3~10배이다. 연신 배율이 1.1배 미만이면, 연신에 수반되는 인성의 향상으로 이어지지 않을 우려가 있다. 연신 배율이 25 배를 초과하면, 연신 배율을 높인 만큼의 효과가 인정되지 않을 우려가 있다. The draw ratio defined by area ratio becomes like this. Preferably it is 1.1-25 times, More preferably, it is 1.3-10 times. If the draw ratio is less than 1.1 times, there is a fear that it does not lead to the improvement of the toughness accompanying stretching. When a draw ratio exceeds 25 times, there exists a possibility that the effect by raising a draw ratio may not be recognized.
연신 속도는, 일 방향으로 바람직하게는 10~20,000 %/min, 보다 바람직하게는 100~10.000 %/min 이다. 연신 속도가 10%/min 미만인 경우에는 충분한 연신 배율을 얻기 위해 다소 오랜 시간이 소요되어 제조 비용이 높아질 우려가 있다. 연신 속도가 20,000%/min을 초과하면 연신 필름의 파단 등이 일어날 우려가 있다. The stretching speed is preferably 10 to 20,000% / min, more preferably 100 to 10,000% / min in one direction. If the stretching speed is less than 10% / min, it takes a long time to obtain a sufficient draw ratio, there is a fear that the manufacturing cost increases. When the stretching speed exceeds 20,000% / min, breakage of the stretched film may occur.
아크릴계 필름은 이의 광학적 등방성이나 기계적 특성을 안정화시키기 위하여, 연신 처리 후에 열처리(어닐링) 등을 실시할 수 있다. 열처리 조건은 특히 제한되지 않으며 당업계에 알려진 임의의 적절한 조건을 채용할 수 있다.The acrylic film may be subjected to heat treatment (annealing) or the like after the stretching treatment in order to stabilize its optical isotropy and mechanical properties. The heat treatment conditions are not particularly limited and may employ any suitable conditions known in the art.
한편, 상기 에스테르계 필름은 폴리에스테르로 이루어진 필름으로서, 투명성, 기계적 강도, 광학적 등방성등이 우수한 것이 바람직하다. 또한, 에스테르계 필름은, 트리아세틸셀룰로오스 필름과 같이 유연법에 의한 성막법이 아닌, 저비용으로 가능한 성막법인 용융압출법에 의하여 제조가 가능한 점에서 바람직하다.On the other hand, the ester film is a film made of polyester, preferably excellent in transparency, mechanical strength, optical isotropy and the like. Moreover, an ester type film is preferable at the point which can be manufactured by the melt-extrusion method which is a film-forming method which can be carried out at low cost instead of the film-forming method by the casting method like a triacetyl cellulose film.
이와 같은 에스테르계 필름의 폴리에스테르로는, 예컨대 폴리에틸렌테레프탈레이트, 폴리에틸렌나프탈레이트, 에틸렌글리콜-테레프탈산-이소프탈산 공중합체 폴리에스테르, 에틸렌글리콜-헥사메틸렌디메타놀-테레프탈산 공중합체 폴리에스테르, 폴리에스테르계 열가소성 엘라스토머, 폴리아릴레이트 등의 공지의 필름화가 가능한 폴리에스테르를 이용할 수 있으며, 그 중에서도 폴리에틸렌테레프탈레이트가 바람직하다. 또한, 에스테르계 필름으로는, 무연신 필름보다는 1축 연신이나 2축 연신 등의 연신 필름이, 투명성, 기계적 강도 면에서 유리하다. 특히, 연신 필름인 경우에는, 광학적 이방성이 적고, 즉 광학적 등방성이 좋은 것이 편광을 어지럽히지 않는 점에서 바람직하고, 또한 1축 연신 필름에 비해 2축 연신 필름이, 이러한 점에서 바람직하다.Examples of the polyester of such an ester film include polyethylene terephthalate, polyethylene naphthalate, ethylene glycol-terephthalic acid-isophthalic acid copolymer polyester, ethylene glycol-hexamethylenedimetholol terephthalic acid copolymer polyester, and polyester-based thermoplastics. Known film-forming polyesters, such as an elastomer and a polyarylate, can be used, and polyethylene terephthalate is especially preferable. Moreover, as an ester type film, extending | stretching films, such as uniaxial stretching and biaxial stretching, are more advantageous than transparency of an unstretched film from a viewpoint of transparency and mechanical strength. In the case of a stretched film, in particular, a low optical anisotropy, that is, a good optical isotropy is preferable in terms of not disturbing polarization, and a biaxially stretched film is more preferable in this respect than a uniaxially stretched film.
또한, 에스테르계 필름은, 동종의 폴리에스테르에 의한 단층의 필름 이외에, 동종 또는 이종의 폴리에스테르에 의한, 단층 또는 2층 이상의 적층체로서 사용할 수 있으며, 또한, 필요에 따라 적절한 자외선흡수제, 대전방지제 등의 공지의 첨가제를 적절하게 첨가할 수 있다.The ester film can be used as a single layer or a laminate of two or more layers of the same kind or different types of polyester, in addition to the single layer film of the same type of polyester. Well-known additives, such as these, can be added suitably.

In this case, the coating may be performed by a method well known in the art, for example, a method of applying and drying the primer composition on a base film using a bar coating method, a gravure coating method, a slot die coating method, or the like.
