A-1.粘着フィルムの全体構成
図1は、本発明の1つの実施形態による粘着フィルムの概略斜視図であり、図2Aは、その断面図である。粘着フィルム100は、長尺状であり、代表的には図1に示すようにロール状に巻回されている。本明細書において「長尺状」とは、幅に対して長さが十分に長い細長形状を意味し、例えば、幅に対して長さが10倍以上、好ましくは20倍以上の細長形状を含む。粘着フィルム100は、長尺状の樹脂フィルム10と樹脂フィルム10の一方の面に設けられた粘着剤層20とを有する。粘着フィルム100は、長尺方向および/または幅方向に所定の間隔で(すなわち、所定のパターンで)配置された、樹脂フィルム10および粘着剤層20を一体に貫通する貫通孔30を有する。貫通孔30の配置パターンは、目的に応じて適切に設定され得る。例えば、貫通孔30は、図1に示すように、長尺方向および幅方向のいずれにおいても実質的に等間隔で配置され得る。なお、「長尺方向および幅方向のいずれにおいても実質的に等間隔」とは、長尺方向の間隔が等間隔であり、かつ、幅方向の間隔が等間隔であることを意味し、長尺方向の間隔と幅方向の間隔とが等しい必要はない。例えば、長尺方向の間隔をL1とし、幅方向の間隔をL2としたとき、L1=L2でもよく、L1≠L2であってもよい。あるいは、貫通孔30は、長尺方向に実質的に等間隔で配置され、かつ、幅方向に異なる間隔で配置されてもよく;長尺方向に異なる間隔で配置され、かつ、幅方向に実質的に等間隔で配置されてもよい(いずれも図示せず)。長尺方向または幅方向において貫通孔が異なる間隔で配置される場合、隣接する貫通孔の間隔はすべて異なっていてもよく、一部(特定の隣接する貫通孔の間隔)のみが異なっていてもよい。また、粘着フィルム100の長尺方向に複数の領域を規定し、それぞれの領域ごとに長尺方向および/または幅方向における貫通孔30の間隔を設定してもよい。
樹脂フィルム10は、粘着フィルム100の基材として機能し得る。樹脂フィルムは、硬度(例えば、弾性率)が高いフィルムが好ましい。搬送および/または貼り合わせ時の貫通孔の変形が防止され得るからである。樹脂フィルムの形成材料としては、ポリエチレンテレフタレート系樹脂等のエステル系樹脂、ノルボルネン系樹脂等のシクロオレフィン系樹脂、ポリプロピレン等のオレフィン系樹脂、ポリアミド系樹脂、ポリカーボネート系樹脂、これらの共重合体樹脂等が挙げられる。好ましくは、エステル系樹脂(特に、ポリエチレンテレフタレート系樹脂)である。このような材料であれば、弾性率が十分に高く、搬送および/または貼り合わせ時に張力をかけても貫通孔の変形が生じにくいという利点がある。
粘着剤層を形成する粘着剤としては、任意の適切な粘着剤が採用され得る。粘着剤のベース樹脂としては、例えば、アクリル系樹脂、スチレン系樹脂、シリコーン系樹脂が挙げられる。耐薬品性、浸漬時における処理液の浸入を防止するための密着性、被着体への自由度等の観点から、アクリル系樹脂が好ましい。粘着剤に含まれ得る架橋剤としては、例えば、イソシアネート化合物、エポキシ化合物、アジリジン化合物が挙げられる。粘着剤は、例えばシランカップリング剤を含んでいてもよい。粘着剤の配合処方は、目的に応じて適切に設定され得る。
セパレーター22は、実用に供するまで粘着フィルム(粘着剤層)を保護する保護材としての機能を有する。また、セパレーターを用いることにより、粘着フィルムを良好にロール状に巻き取ることができる。セパレーターとしては、例えば、シリコーン系剥離剤、フッ素系剥離剤、長鎖アルキルアクリレート系剥離剤等の剥離剤により表面コートされたプラスチック(例えば、ポリエチレンテレフタレート(PET)、ポリエチレン、ポリプロピレン)フィルム、不織布または紙などが挙げられる。セパレーターの厚みは、目的に応じて任意の適切な厚みを採用することができる。セパレーターの厚みは、例えば10μm~100μmである。
本発明の粘着フィルムは、例えば、フィルム(代表的には、長尺状のフィルム)の所定の部分を選択的に処理する際の表面保護フィルムまたはマスクとして好適に用いられ得る。当該選択的な処理の具体例としては、脱色、着色、穿孔、現像、エッチング、パターニング(例えば、活性エネルギー線硬化型樹脂層の形成)、化学的変性、熱処理が挙げられる。本発明の粘着フィルムを用いることにより、ロール搬送しながらの連続的処理が可能となるので、各種の選択的な処理の処理効率を非常に高くすることができる。さらに、本発明の粘着フィルムを用いることにより、長尺状のフィルムの全体にわたって選択的に処理される部分を精密に制御して配置することができるので、当該長尺状のフィルムから所定サイズの最終製品を裁断した場合に、最終製品ごとの品質のばらつきを顕著に抑制することができる。1つの実施形態においては、本発明の粘着フィルムは、非偏光部を有する偏光子(代表的には、長尺状の偏光子)の製造に用いられ得る。本発明の粘着フィルムを当該用途に用いることにより、画像表示装置等の電子デバイスの多機能化および高機能化に適した偏光子の低コスト・高歩留り・高生産性での製造を実現し得る。以下、上記の選択的処理の代表例として、非偏光部を有する偏光子の製造について具体的に説明する。
C-1.偏光子
非偏光部が形成され得る偏光子としては、任意の適切な偏光子が採用され得る。偏光子は、代表的には樹脂フィルムで構成される。樹脂フィルムは、代表的には、二色性物質を含むポリビニルアルコール系樹脂(以下、「PVA系樹脂」と称する)フィルムである。偏光子は、単一のフィルムであってもよく、樹脂基材上に形成された樹脂層(代表的には、PVA系樹脂層)であってもよい。樹脂基材と樹脂層との積層体は、例えば、上記樹脂フィルムの形成材料を含む塗布液を樹脂基材に塗布する方法、樹脂基材に樹脂フィルムを積層する方法等により得ることができる。
図4に示すように、偏光板200の偏光子側の面に、粘着フィルム100をロールトゥロールにより貼り合わせる。粘着フィルム100は、上記A項に記載の本発明の粘着フィルムである。図示例では、粘着フィルムにおける貫通孔の配置パターンは、図1および図3Aの配置パターンに対応する。本明細書において「ロールトゥロール」とは、ロール状のフィルムを搬送しながら互いの長尺方向を揃えて積層することをいう。粘着フィルムは、代表的には偏光子に剥離可能に貼り合わせられる。本発明の粘着フィルムを用いることにより、脱色液への浸漬による脱色処理による非偏光部の形成が可能となるので、非常に高い製造効率で非偏光部を有する偏光子を得ることができる。なお、本発明の粘着フィルムは脱色処理における偏光板の表面保護フィルムとして機能し得るので、便宜上、本発明の粘着フィルムを第1の表面保護フィルムと称する場合がある。ここで、表面保護フィルムとは、作業時に偏光板を一時的に保護し、任意の適切な時点で剥離されるフィルムであり、単に保護フィルムと称する偏光子保護フィルムとは異なるものである。
エステル系フィルム(厚み38μm)/粘着剤層(厚み5μm)/セパレーター(厚み25μm)の構成を有する長尺状の積層体(幅:1200mm、長さ:43m)を準備した。この積層体のエステル系フィルム面に、エステル系フィルム(厚み38μm)/粘着剤層(厚み5μm)の構成を有するキャリアフィルム(幅:1200mm、長さ:43m)をロールトゥロールで貼り合わせ、キャリアフィルム付積層体を作製した。
次いで、打抜装置を用いてキャリアフィルム付積層体に対してセパレーター面より深さ80μmの切断刃を入れ、キャリアフィルムが貫通しないように直径2.4mmの円形にハーフカットした。ハーフカットは、長尺方向に250mmおきに、幅方向に400mmおきに行った。

次いで、液温30℃の染色浴に、偏光板が所定の透過率となるようにヨウ素濃度、浸漬時間を調整しながら浸漬させた。本実施例では、水100重量部に対して、ヨウ素を0.2重量部配合し、ヨウ化カリウムを1.5重量部配合して得られたヨウ素水溶液に60秒間浸漬させた(染色処理)。
次いで、液温30℃の架橋浴(水100重量部に対して、ヨウ化カリウムを3重量部配合し、ホウ酸を3重量部配合して得られたホウ酸水溶液)に30秒間浸漬させた(架橋処理)。
その後、積層体を、液温70℃のホウ酸水溶液(水100重量部に対して、ホウ酸を4重量部配合し、ヨウ化カリウムを5重量部配合して得られた水溶液)に浸漬させながら、周速の異なるロール間で縦方向(長手方向)に総延伸倍率が5.5倍となるように一軸延伸を行った(水中延伸)。
その後、積層体を液温30℃の洗浄浴(水100重量部に対して、ヨウ化カリウムを4重量部配合して得られた水溶液)に浸漬させた(洗浄処理)。
続いて、積層体のPVA系樹脂層表面に、PVA系樹脂水溶液(日本合成化学工業社製、商品名「ゴーセファイマー(登録商標)Z-200」、樹脂濃度:3重量%)を塗布して保護フィルム(厚み25μm)を貼り合わせ、これを60℃に維持したオーブンで5分間加熱した。その後、基材をPVA系樹脂層から剥離し、透過率42.3%、厚み5μmの偏光子を有する偏光板(幅:1200mm、長さ:43m)を得た。
得られた偏光板の偏光子側に、各実施例で得られた粘着フィルムを、セパレーターを剥離してロールトゥロールで貼り合わせ、偏光フィルム積層体を得た。
得られた偏光フィルム積層体の粘着フィルムから偏光子が露出した部分に、常温の水酸化ナトリウム水溶液(1.0mol/L(1.0N))を滴下し、60秒間放置した。その後、滴下した水酸化ナトリウム水溶液をウエスで除去してから粘着フィルムを剥離し、透明部が形成された偏光板(偏光子)を得た。
