Definitions
- the present invention relates to a retardation film that can be used for image display devices such as liquid crystal display devices and organic EL devices. More specifically, the present invention relates to a retardation film having a larger in-plane retardation as the wavelength is longer.
- retardation films In order to improve the display performance of image display devices such as liquid crystal display devices and organic EL, various retardation films are used.
- a retardation film (hereinafter referred to as “reverse wavelength dispersion film”) having a larger in-plane retardation toward the longer wavelength side can be used as a reflection type liquid crystal display device, a touch panel or an organic EL antireflection layer. .
- the phase difference is about 1 ⁇ 4 of the measurement wavelength ⁇ , and the ratio of the in-plane retardation at 450 nm to the in-plane retardation at 550 nm Re (450) / Re (550 ) Is preferably close to 0.81.
- the reverse wavelength dispersion film to be used is required to have a thin film thickness of about 20 to 50 ⁇ m.
- Various retardation films have been developed in response to the above characteristic requirements.
- Patent Document 1 discloses a reverse wavelength dispersion film made of cellulose acylate and ethyl cellulose.
- Each of the retardation films disclosed herein has an in-plane retardation of about ⁇ / 4, and is suitable for the purpose of use as an antireflection layer.
- the reverse wavelength dispersion film in this document increases the film thickness if the reverse wavelength dispersion characteristic is excellent, and conversely, if the film thickness is reduced, the reverse wavelength dispersion characteristic Re (450) / Re (550).
- Approaches 1 and has a trade-off relationship. Therefore, further improvement is required to satisfy both the film thickness and the reverse wavelength dispersion characteristic.
- Patent Document 2 discloses a reverse wavelength dispersion film composed of cellulose acylate and ethyl cellulose.
- the retardation film disclosed here requires adjustment of in-plane retardation for the purpose of use as an antireflection layer. Since the in-plane retardation is proportional to the film thickness, it is possible to achieve an in-plane retardation of about ⁇ / 4 by increasing the thickness of the film. However, when the in-plane retardation is increased by adjusting the thickness, the film becomes thick, and thus further improvement is required.
- Patent Document 3 discloses a reverse wavelength dispersion film composed of cellulose acylate and ethyl cellulose. Since the retardation film disclosed here has a high retardation development relative to the retardation films described in Patent Documents 1 and 2, it is possible to develop an equivalent in-plane retardation with a thin film thickness. Since a film thickness of about 60 to 70 ⁇ m is necessary, further improvement is required.
- Patent Document 4 discloses cellulose derivatives having various aromatic and aliphatic acylates as substituents having different maximum absorption wavelengths and molar extinction coefficients. Although the retardation film disclosed herein can exhibit the desired reverse wavelength dispersion characteristic, the retardation development property is very low, and the film thickness is increased to about 80 ⁇ m for the purpose of developing the desired in-plane retardation. Because it is necessary, further improvement is required.
- Patent Document 5 discloses a cellulose derivative film having a large thickness direction retardation (Rth) of the film.
- An aromatic esterified cellulose ether is used for the material of the film, but no processing technique such as hot drawing is applied, and the in-plane retardation and reverse wavelength dispersion characteristics which are important characteristics of the present invention are not applied. No description has been made.
- the film disclosed here is a compensation sheet for VA type liquid crystal that directly uses an unstretched film produced by solution casting. Since the required characteristics are different from the present invention, the film thickness is about twice that of the present invention. Thickness is required.

前記セルロース誘導体とは、一般式(1)に記載のように、セルロースを構成する単量体であるβ-グルコース骨格が有する3つのヒドロキシル基を公知の各種変換反応によりアルコール誘導体(ORn)に変換したものである。
前記のセルロース誘導体を作製するための変換反応としては、公知の合成法を適時用いることが出来る。以下に1例を記載するが、これに限定されるものではない。最も簡便な方法は、市販のセルロースエーテル(例:エチルセルロース)と芳香族アシルクロリド(例:2-ナフトイルクロリド)とをピリジン存在下で共存させた状態にて、加熱し、反応物を水及び有機溶剤にて洗浄することにより、エチルセルロース中のヒドロキシル基が芳香族エステル化された目的のセルロース誘導体を得ることが出来る。
D(具体的には、D1~D3)は、セルロース分子中の2、3、6位に存在する3個の水酸基が、平均してどれだけ置換されているかを表す、最大3の正数である。この場合、セルロース分子中の2、3、6位に存在する3個の水酸基の各々の置換度が略同一であってもよいし、セルロース分子中の2、3、6位に存在する3個の水酸基の何れかの置換度が高く、その他の水酸基の置換度が低くてもよい。
Re(λ)とは、λnmにおける面内レタデーションを表し、下式(1)にて定義される。
ここで、ΔNxy(λ)は、λnmにおける複屈折、dは、フィルムの厚みを表す。ここでいう複屈折とは、フィルム面内の屈折率のうち最大の屈折率と最小の屈折率との差である。
本発明の位相差フィルムを反射防止層として使用した場合の層全体の厚みを考慮すると、位相差フィルムは20μm以上50μm以下であり、好ましくは20μm以上40μm以下である。
本発明の位相差フィルム(例えば、延伸フィルム)のヘイズの値は、特に限定されないが、2.00%以下であることが好ましく、1.00%以下であることがより好ましく、0.50%以下であることが最も好ましい。ヘイズの値が、前記範囲内であれば、延伸フィルムの全光線透過率を増大させて延伸フィルムの透明性を向上させることができるという利点があるため、好ましい。
本実施の形態の位相差フィルムは、フィルム化の際に、必要に応じて少量の可塑剤や熱安定剤、紫外線安定剤等の添加剤を第3成分として加えられもよい。特に、得られた位相差フィルムが脆い場合、延伸などの加工特性を改善する目的で可塑剤を加えることは有効である。これら第三成分の配合量は、所望の光学特性を損なわない範囲で任意である。
本発明で使用される樹脂(セルロース誘導体)の分子量は、フィルム成型が可能な限り特に限定されるものではない。例えば、靱性に優れたフィルムを得るためには、樹脂の数平均分子量が、10,000以上300,000以下であることが好ましい。天然樹脂を原料とした樹脂を用いる場合、入手容易性の観点から、樹脂の数平均分子量が、20,000以上200,000以下であることがさらに好ましい。分子量が小さすぎると、フィルムが脆くなり、一方、分子量が高すぎると、溶媒への樹脂の溶解性が悪く、樹脂溶液の固形分濃度が低くなり溶液キャスト時の溶剤使用量が多くなるため、製造上好ましくない。
本発明の位相差フィルムは、未延伸である製膜フィルム(未延伸フィルムとも呼ぶ)を延伸することにより製造されることが好ましい。未延伸である製膜フィルムは、周知の方法にしたがって作製することができる。
本発明の位相差フィルムを得るためには、前記で得られた未延伸フィルムを公知の延伸方法にしたがって、少なくとも1軸に延伸して配向処理を行うことが好ましい。延伸方法としては、1軸または2軸の熱延伸法を採用することができる。本発明の位相差フィルムを得るためには、縦1軸延伸を採用することが好ましい。また、反射防止層として本発明の位相差フィルムを使用する場合には、1軸性が重要となるため、自由端1軸延伸が好ましい。
X=(L-L0)/L0×100 (2)
本発明の位相差フィルムを製造する際の延伸倍率は、20%以上200%以下であることが好ましく、20%以上150%以下であることがより好ましく、20%以上100%以下であることがより好ましく、30%以上100%以下であることがより好ましい。
延伸温度は、フィルムのガラス転移温度Tgに対して、(Tg-30)℃以上(Tg+30)℃以下の範囲で選択されることが好ましい。特に好ましい延伸温度は、(Tg-10)℃以上(Tg+30)℃以下の範囲である。
ソルベントキャスト法によりフィルム化する際、樹脂を前記溶剤に溶解したのち、当該溶剤を支持体にキャストし、溶剤を乾燥してフィルムとする。
本発明の位相差フィルムは、反射防止層として用いることができる。反射防止層の一形態として、本発明の位相差フィルムを含む円偏光板が挙げられる。円偏光板とは、無偏光の光を円偏光に変換する光学素子である。円偏光板の構成として、偏光子の吸収軸と本発明の位相差フィルムの遅相軸とが45°をなすように貼合した積層体が挙げられる。この際に用いられる粘着層及び偏光子保護フィルムは、任意の構成であり得る。これらの反射防止層は、液晶表示装置及び有機ELなどの画像表示装置に有用に使用され得る。また、本発明の位相差フィルムを、偏光子保護フィルムとして兼用することもできる。
本実施の形態の位相差フィルムの製造方法は、下記の一般式(1)で表される重合単位を含むセルロース誘導体の少なくとも1種からなるポリマー材料を含有し、面内レタデーションRe(550)が130nm以上160nm以下であり、逆波長分散特性Re(450)/Re(550)が0.80以上0.89以下であり、フィルム厚みが20μm以上50μm以下であり、ヘイズが2.00%以下である、位相差フィルムであって、
