Description

タッチパネル、表示装置及び光学シート、並びに光学シートの選別方法及び光学シートの製造方法Touch panel, display device, optical sheet, optical sheet sorting method, and optical sheet manufacturing method
 本発明は、タッチパネル、表示装置及び光学シート、並びに光学シートの選別方法及び光学シートの製造方法に関する。 The present invention relates to a touch panel, a display device, an optical sheet, an optical sheet sorting method, and an optical sheet manufacturing method.
 近年、タブレット型PCならびにスマートフォンに代表される双方向の通信機能を備え、かつ情報表示ならびに情報入力用の透明タッチパネルを搭載したモバイル型の情報端末機器が、日本ばかりでなく世界で広く普及しはじめてきた。
 透明タッチパネルとしては、コスト的に優れた抵抗膜方式があるが、マルチタッチ等のジェスチャー操作が可能であること、超高精細化された表示素子の画質を損ないづらい等の点で、静電容量方式のタッチパネル、特に、投影型静電容量方式のタッチパネルの需要が拡大してきている。
In recent years, mobile information terminal devices equipped with a transparent touch panel for information display and information input, which have bidirectional communication functions such as tablet PCs and smartphones, have begun to spread widely not only in Japan but around the world. Came.
A transparent touch panel has a resistive film method that is excellent in terms of cost, but it has electrostatic capacity in that gesture operations such as multi-touch are possible, and it is difficult to impair the image quality of ultra-high-definition display elements. There is an increasing demand for touch panel touch panels, particularly projection capacitive touch panels.
 タッチパネルの表面には、外光の映り込みを防止すること等を目的として、凹凸構造を有する防眩性シートが設置されることがある。
 さらには、タッチパネルを構成する部材間の密着及び干渉縞の防止、及びタッチパネルと表示素子との間の密着及び干渉縞の防止等のために、タッチパネルの最表面基材、内部基材及び最背面基材等として、凹凸構造を有する光学シートが用いられることがある。
An anti-glare sheet having a concavo-convex structure may be provided on the surface of the touch panel for the purpose of preventing reflection of external light.
Furthermore, for the prevention of adhesion and interference fringes between members constituting the touch panel, and prevention of adhesion and interference fringes between the touch panel and the display element, the outermost surface base material, the inner base material and the rearmost surface of the touch panel An optical sheet having a concavo-convex structure may be used as a substrate or the like.
 しかし、防眩性フィルム等の凹凸構造を有する光学シートを用いた場合、その凹凸構造に起因して、映像光に微細な輝度のばらつきが見える現象(ギラツキ)が生じ、表示品位を低下させるという問題がある。特に、近年の超高精細化された表示素子(画素密度300ppi以上)においては、ギラツキの問題はさらに深刻化している。
 表面凹凸によるギラツキを防止する技術として、特許文献1~9の技術が提案されている。
However, when an optical sheet having a concavo-convex structure such as an antiglare film is used, a phenomenon (glare) in which minute variations in luminance are seen in the image light occurs due to the concavo-convex structure, which reduces display quality. There's a problem. In particular, the glare problem has become more serious in recent high-definition display elements (pixel density of 300 ppi or more).
As techniques for preventing glare due to surface irregularities, techniques of Patent Documents 1 to 9 have been proposed.

 特許文献1及び2の光学シートは、内部ヘイズを付与することによりギラツキを改善するものである。しかし、画素密度300ppi以上の超高精細の表示素子はギラツキが強くなる傾向にあり、内部へイズのみによりギラツキを抑えようとすると、内部へイズをさらに大きくせざるを得ない。また、内部ヘイズが大きいと解像度が悪化する傾向にあるが、超高精細の表示素子ではよりその傾向が大きい。したがって、特許文献1及び2のように内部へイズにのみ着目しても、画素密度300ppi以上の超高精細の表示素子に適する光学シートを得ることができなかった。 The optical sheets of Patent Documents 1 and 2 improve glare by imparting internal haze. However, an ultra-high-definition display element with a pixel density of 300 ppi or more tends to be more glaring. If an attempt is made to suppress the glaring only by the internal noise, the internal noise must be further increased. Also, when the internal haze is large, the resolution tends to deteriorate, but this tendency is greater in the ultra-high definition display element. Therefore, even if attention is paid only to the inside as in Patent Documents 1 and 2, an optical sheet suitable for an ultrahigh-definition display element having a pixel density of 300 ppi or more cannot be obtained.
 特許文献3~9の光学シートは、凹凸の傾斜角度を低くして凹凸の程度を弱めることにより、ギラツキを改善するものである。しかし、特許文献3~9の光学シートでも、画素密度300ppi以上の超高精細の表示素子のギラツキを防止することはできなかった。また、特許文献3~9の光学シートは、防眩性のレベルを低下させてしまうものであった。 The optical sheets of Patent Documents 3 to 9 improve glare by lowering the inclination angle of the irregularities and weakening the degree of the irregularities. However, even the optical sheets disclosed in Patent Documents 3 to 9 cannot prevent glare in an ultra-high-definition display element having a pixel density of 300 ppi or more. In addition, the optical sheets of Patent Documents 3 to 9 have reduced the antiglare level.
 本発明は、このような状況下になされたものであり、凹凸構造を有する場合においても、画素密度300ppi以上の超高精細の表示素子の映像光のギラツキを防止できるタッチパネル、表示装置及び光学シートを提供することを目的とする。また、本発明は、画素密度300ppi以上の超高精細の表示素子の映像光のギラツキを防止するための光学シートの選別方法及び製造方法を提供する。 The present invention has been made under such circumstances, and a touch panel, a display device, and an optical sheet that can prevent glare of image light of an ultra-high-definition display element having a pixel density of 300 ppi or more even when having an uneven structure. The purpose is to provide. The present invention also provides an optical sheet selection method and manufacturing method for preventing glare of image light of an ultra-high definition display element having a pixel density of 300 ppi or more.
 本発明者らは鋭意研究した結果、光学シートの凹凸面を超高精細の表示素子の画素の大きさに相当する64μm(64μmは、超高精細の表示素子として主流である300~500ppiの中間値である400ppiに相当する。)に区画し、かつ各区画の表面形状を特定の形状に制御することにより、上記課題を解決し得ることを見出した。
 本発明は、以下の[1]~[5]のタッチパネル、表示装置及び光学シート、並びに光学シートの選別方法及び光学シートの製造方法を提供する。
As a result of diligent research, the present inventors have found that the uneven surface of the optical sheet is 64 μm corresponding to the size of a pixel of an ultra-high definition display element (64 μm is an intermediate of 300 to 500 ppi, which is the mainstream as an ultra-high definition display element.

Examples of the touch panel include a capacitive touch panel, a resistive touch panel, an optical touch panel, an ultrasonic touch panel, and an electromagnetic induction touch panel. These touch panels have a base material such as a glass base material and a plastic film base material, and the surface on the base material has an uneven shape for imparting various characteristics such as antiglare property, adhesion prevention and interference fringe prevention. May be formed. The touch panel of the present invention uses an optical sheet to be described later as a substrate having an uneven shape on such a surface.
In the case of imparting antiglare properties to the touch panel, it is preferable to use an optical sheet, which will be described later, as a surface member of the touch panel, and to install the optical sheet so that the surface on the uneven shape side faces the surface side.
 抵抗膜式タッチパネル1は、図1に示すように、導電膜12を有する上下一対の透明基板11の導電膜12同士が対向するようにスペーサー13を介して配置されてなる基本構成に、図示しない回路が接続されてなるものである。抵抗膜式タッチパネルの場合、上部透明基板及び/又は下部透明基板として、後述する光学シートを用いることが好ましい。なお、上部透明基板及び下部透明基板は、2以上の基材からなる多層構造として、そのうちの1つの基材として後述する光学シートを用いてもよい。 As shown in FIG. 1, the resistive touch panel 1 is not illustrated in a basic configuration in which a conductive film 12 of a pair of upper and lower transparent substrates 11 having a conductive film 12 is disposed via a spacer 13 so as to face each other. A circuit is connected. In the case of a resistive film type touch panel, it is preferable to use an optical sheet described later as the upper transparent substrate and / or the lower transparent substrate. In addition, the upper transparent substrate and the lower transparent substrate may use an optical sheet described later as one base material as a multilayer structure including two or more base materials.
 抵抗膜式タッチパネルにおける光学シートは、例えば、上部透明基板として後述する光学シートを用い、かつ光学シートの凹凸面が下部透明基板と反対側を向くように使用すれば、抵抗膜式タッチパネルに防眩性を付与できるとともに、超高精細の表示素子のギラツキを防止することができ、さらには超高精細の表示素子の解像度の低下を防止できる。また、この使い方の場合、タッチパネルの表面や導電膜等に生じた傷を見えづらくすることができ、歩留まりの向上に寄与できる点で好適である。
 なお、上部透明基板として、後述する光学シートを凹凸面が下部透明基板側を向くように用いた場合、超高精細の表示素子のギラツキを防止するとともに、操作時に上下の導電膜同士が密着することを防止し、さらに上下の導電膜が近接することにより干渉縞が生じることを防止できる。
 また、抵抗膜式タッチパネルの下部透明基板として後述する光学シートを用い、かつ光学シートの凹凸面が上部透明基板側を向くようにすることにより、下部電極の表面の反射を抑制するとともに、超高精細の表示素子のギラツキを防止することができる。さらに、この使い方の場合、操作時に上下の導電膜同士が密着することを防止できるとともに、上下の導電膜が近接することにより干渉縞が生じることを防止できる。
 なお、下部透明基板として、後述する光学シートを凹凸面が上部透明基板とは反対側を向くように用いた場合、ギラツキを防止するとともに、密着や干渉縞を防止できる点で好適である。
The optical sheet in the resistive film type touch panel is, for example, an optical sheet described later as the upper transparent substrate, and if the concave and convex surface of the optical sheet faces the opposite side of the lower transparent substrate, the resistive film type touch panel is anti-glare. And the glare of the ultra-high-definition display element can be prevented, and further, the resolution of the ultra-high-definition display element can be prevented from being lowered. In addition, this method is preferable in that it can make it difficult to see the scratches on the surface of the touch panel, the conductive film, etc., and can contribute to the improvement of the yield.
When an optical sheet described later is used as the upper transparent substrate so that the concavo-convex surface faces the lower transparent substrate, the upper and lower conductive films are in close contact with each other while preventing the glare of the ultra-high-definition display element. In addition, it is possible to prevent interference fringes from occurring due to the proximity of the upper and lower conductive films.
In addition, by using an optical sheet, which will be described later, as the lower transparent substrate of the resistive touch panel, and by making the uneven surface of the optical sheet face the upper transparent substrate side, the reflection of the surface of the lower electrode is suppressed, and the The glare of the fine display element can be prevented. Further, in the case of this usage, it is possible to prevent the upper and lower conductive films from adhering to each other at the time of operation, and it is possible to prevent the occurrence of interference fringes due to the proximity of the upper and lower conductive films.

 なお、静電容量式タッチパネルの透明基板として、後述する光学シートを凹凸面が操作者とは反対側を向くように用いた場合、ギラツキを防止できるとともに、密着や干渉縞を防止できる点で好適である。
When the capacitive touch panel has another transparent substrate on the basic mode described above, an optical sheet described later is used as the other transparent substrate, and the uneven surface of the optical sheet is opposite to the basic mode.

(光学シート)
 本発明のタッチパネルに用いる光学シートは、表面に凹凸形状を有し、上記条件A-1及びA-2を満たすか、あるいは、上記条件B-1及びB-2を満たすものである。
 光学シートは、上記条件A-1及びA-2を満たすか、あるいは、上記条件B-1及びB-2を満たせばよいが、上記条件A-1及びA-2、並びに、上記条件B-1及びB-2を満たすことが好ましい。
(Optical sheet)
The optical sheet used in the touch panel of the present invention has a concavo-convex shape on the surface and satisfies the above conditions A-1 and A-2 or satisfies the above conditions B-1 and B-2.
The optical sheet may satisfy the above conditions A-1 and A-2, or may satisfy the above conditions B-1 and B-2, but the above conditions A-1 and A-2, and the above condition B- It is preferable to satisfy 1 and B-2.
 条件A-1のσSRaは、64μm四方の各測定領域の三次元算術平均粗さSRaのバラツキの度合いを示している。64μm四方という大きさはカラーフィルターの画素の大きさと対応しているため、この領域ごとの凹凸度合いがばらついていると、カラーフィルターとの干渉により輝度ムラが生じやすくなる。
 したがって、σSRaを0.050μm以下とすることにより、カラーフィルターの画素と凹凸層の干渉による輝度ムラが小さくなり、ギラツキを防止しやすくできる。
 σSRaは、0.040μm以下であることが好ましく、0.030μm以下であることがより好ましい。
Σ SRa in condition A-1 indicates the degree of variation in the three-dimensional arithmetic average roughness SRa in each measurement region of 64 μm square. Since the size of 64 μm square corresponds to the size of the pixel of the color filter, if the unevenness varies for each region, unevenness in brightness tends to occur due to interference with the color filter.
Therefore, by setting σ SRa to 0.050 μm or less, luminance unevenness due to interference between the pixels of the color filter and the uneven layer is reduced, and glare can be easily prevented.
σ SRa is preferably 0.040 μm or less, and more preferably 0.030 μm or less.
 条件A-2のSRaAVEは、光学シートの凹凸形状の粗さの程度を示している。SRaAVEを0.100μm以上とすることにより、防眩性、密着防止性及び干渉縞防止性等の凹凸形状によって付与する諸性能を確保しやすくできる。また、SRaAVEを0.100μm以上とすることにより、電極の形状や光学シートの傷を目立ちにくくすることができる。
 前記諸性能のうちの防眩性の観点から、SRaAVEは、0.110μm以上であることが好ましく、0.115μmであることがより好ましい。
 なお、SRaAVEが大き過ぎる場合、解像度及びコントラストが低下する傾向にある。このため、SRaAVEは、0.300μm以下であることが好ましく、0.200μm以下であることがより好ましく、0.175μm以下であることがさらに好ましい。
 本発明において、SRaは、カットオフ値0.8mmとした値である。
SRa AVE in Condition A-2 indicates the degree of roughness of the uneven shape of the optical sheet. By setting SRa AVE to 0.100 μm or more, it is possible to easily secure various performances imparted by uneven shapes such as antiglare property, adhesion prevention property and interference fringe prevention property. Further, by setting SRa AVE to 0.100 μm or more, it is possible to make the electrode shape and the scratch on the optical sheet less noticeable.
From the viewpoint of antiglare property among the various performances, SRa AVE is preferably 0.110 μm or more, and more preferably 0.115 μm.
If SRa AVE is too large, the resolution and contrast tend to decrease. For this reason, SRa AVE is preferably 0.300 μm or less, more preferably 0.200 μm or less, and further preferably 0.175 μm or less.
In the present invention, SRa is a value with a cutoff value of 0.8 mm.
 次に、条件B-1について説明する。
 C0.125、C0.25、C0.5、C1.0及びC2.0の値には、凹凸の傾斜角が影響していると考えられる。ここで、凹凸の傾斜角のレベルを5つに分け、レベル1を最も小さい傾斜角とした場合、C0.125はレベル1以上の傾斜角、C0.25はレベル2以上の傾斜角、C0.5はレベル3以上の傾斜角、C1.0はレベル4以上の傾斜角、C2.0はレベル5以上の傾斜角の影響を受けて、数値が100%未満となっていると考えられる。
 条件B-1を満たすことは、レベル1以上の傾斜角、レベル2以上の傾斜角、レベル3以上の傾斜角、及びレベル4以上の傾斜角の量がほぼ一定であることを示している。言い換えると、条件B-1を満たすことは、光学シートの凹凸にはレベル3以下の傾斜角がほとんど存在せず、ほとんどの傾斜角がレベル4であることを意味している。そして、表面粗さに大差がないことを前提とすれば、光学シートの凹凸のほとんどの傾斜角をレベル4とすることにより、光学シートの面内の凹凸のバラツキが少なくなり、ギラツキを防止しやすくできると考えられる。
 条件B-1の差は、5.5%以内であることがより好ましく、4.0%以内であることがさらに好ましい。
Next, the condition B-1 will be described.
The values of C 0.125 , C 0.25 , C 0.5 , C 1.0 and C 2.0 are considered to be affected by the inclination angle of the unevenness. Here, when the inclination angle level of the unevenness is divided into five and level 1 is the smallest inclination angle, C 0.125 is an inclination angle of level 1 or higher, C 0.25 is an inclination angle of level 2 or higher, C 0.5 is affected by a tilt angle of level 3 or higher, C 1.0 is affected by a tilt angle of level 4 or higher, and C 2.0 is affected by a tilt angle of level 5 or higher. it is conceivable that.
Satisfying the condition B-1 indicates that the amounts of the tilt angle of level 1 or higher, the tilt angle of level 2 or higher, the tilt angle of level 3 or higher, and the tilt angle of level 4 or higher are substantially constant. In other words, satisfying the condition B-1 means that the unevenness of the optical sheet has almost no inclination angle of level 3 or less, and most of the inclination angles are level 4. If it is assumed that there is no large difference in surface roughness, by setting most inclination angles of the unevenness of the optical sheet to level 4, unevenness of the unevenness in the surface of the optical sheet is reduced, and glare is prevented. It can be easily done.
The difference in condition B-1 is more preferably within 5.5%, and even more preferably within 4.0%.
 条件B-2を満たすことは、レベル1~4の傾斜角に対して、レベル5以上の傾斜角の割合が少ないことを意味している。傾斜角が大きいとギラツキへの影響が大きくなり、レベル5以上になるとその傾向が顕著になると考えられる。
 したがって、条件B-2を満たす(レベル5以上の傾斜角の割合を少なくする)ことで、ギラツキを防止しやすくできると考えられる。さらに、条件B-2を満たしてレベル5以上の傾斜角の割合を少なくすることにより、解像度を良好にできると考えられる。
 また、条件B-1及びB-2を同時に満たすことで、ほとんどの傾斜角がレベル4となるため、防眩性、密着防止性及び干渉縞防止性等の凹凸形状によって付与する諸性能を確保しやすくできるとともに、電極の形状や光学シートの傷を目立ちにくくすることができる。
 条件B-2の差は、11.0%以上であることがより好ましく、11.5%以上であることがさらに好ましい。
 なお、防眩性、密着防止性及び干渉縞防止性等の凹凸形状によって付与する諸性能をより良好とするため、条件B-2は20.0%以下であることが好ましい。
Satisfying condition B-2 means that the ratio of the inclination angle of level 5 or higher is small with respect to the inclination angles of levels 1 to 4. If the angle of inclination is large, the effect on glare will increase, and if it is level 5 or higher, the tendency will be conspicuous.
Therefore, it is considered that glare can be easily prevented by satisfying Condition B-2 (reducing the ratio of the inclination angle of level 5 or higher). Furthermore, it is considered that the resolution can be improved by satisfying the condition B-2 and reducing the ratio of the inclination angle of level 5 or higher.
In addition, satisfying the conditions B-1 and B-2 at the same time ensures that most tilt angles are at level 4, ensuring various performances imparted by uneven shapes such as anti-glare properties, adhesion prevention properties and interference fringe prevention properties. In addition, it is possible to make the electrode shape and scratches on the optical sheet less noticeable.
The difference in Condition B-2 is more preferably 11.0% or more, and further preferably 11.5% or more.
In order to improve the various properties imparted by the uneven shape such as antiglare property, adhesion prevention property and interference fringe prevention property, the condition B-2 is preferably 20.0% or less.
 以上のように、条件A-1及びA-2を満たすこと、並びに、条件B-1及びB-2を満たすことは、何れも、一定レベルの凹凸を付与しながら、凹凸のバラツキ度合いが少ないことを意味する点で共通している。 As described above, satisfying the conditions A-1 and A-2 and satisfying the conditions B-1 and B-2 both provide a certain level of unevenness and have a small degree of unevenness. It is common in the point that means.
 条件A-1及びA-2、あるいは条件B-1及びB-2は、光学シートの略全域で満たすことが好ましい。略全域としたのは、光学シートの端部は切断時等に微小な欠陥を生じる可能性があり、端部に欠陥があったとしても視認者は欠陥として認識しにくいるためである。また、光学シートの端部周辺は視覚的に視認しにくい領域である。このため、条件A-1及びA-2、あるいは条件B-1及びB-2を、光学シートの4辺の端部から10mmを除いた領域の95%以上において満たすことが好ましく、該領域の97%以上において満たすことがより好ましく、該領域の99%以上において満たすことがさらに好ましい。後述する条件B-3、B-4及びその他のパラメータも同様である。 It is preferable that the conditions A-1 and A-2 or the conditions B-1 and B-2 are satisfied over almost the entire area of the optical sheet. The reason why the substantially entire area is defined is that the end of the optical sheet may cause a minute defect at the time of cutting or the like, and even if the end has a defect, it is difficult for the viewer to recognize it as a defect. Further, the periphery of the end of the optical sheet is a region that is difficult to visually recognize. For this reason, it is preferable that the conditions A-1 and A-2 or the conditions B-1 and B-2 are satisfied in 95% or more of the area excluding 10 mm from the ends of the four sides of the optical sheet. It is more preferable to satisfy 97% or more, and it is more preferable to satisfy 99% or more of the region. The same applies to conditions B-3, B-4 and other parameters described later.
 また、条件B-1及びB-2による効果をより発揮しやすくするために、以下の条件B-3及びB-4を満たすことが好ましい。
 条件B-3:C0.125が30.0%以上。
 条件B-4:C2.0が40.0%以上。
 条件B-3は、C0.125が35.0%以上であることがより好ましく、40.0%以上であることがさらに好ましい。なお、防眩性、密着防止性及び干渉縞防止性等の凹凸形状によって付与する諸性能を良好とするため、C0.125は50.0%以下であることが好ましい。
 条件B-4は、C2.0が50.0%以上であることがより好ましく、55.0%以上であることがさらに好ましい。なお、防眩性、密着防止性及び干渉縞防止性等の凹凸形状によって付与する諸性能を良好とするため、C2.0は70.0%以下であることが好ましい。
Further, in order to make it easier to exert the effects of the conditions B-1 and B-2, it is preferable to satisfy the following conditions B-3 and B-4.
Condition B-3: C 0.125 is 30.0% or more.
Condition B-4: C 2.0 is 40.0% or more.
In Condition B-3, C 0.125 is more preferably 35.0% or more, and further preferably 40.0% or more. C 0.125 is preferably 50.0% or less in order to improve various properties imparted by the uneven shape such as antiglare property, adhesion prevention property and interference fringe prevention property.
In Condition B-4, C 2.0 is more preferably 50.0% or more, and further preferably 55.0% or more. C 2.0 is preferably 70.0% or less in order to improve various properties imparted by uneven shapes such as antiglare property, adhesion prevention property, and interference fringe prevention property.
 なお、本発明においてSRaはJIS B0601:1994に記載されている2次元粗さパラメータの算術平均粗さRaを3次元に拡張したものであり、基準面に直交座標軸X、Y軸を置き、粗さ曲面をZ(x,y)、基準面の大きさをLx、Lyとすると下記式(a)で算出される。

 なお、各領域でのSRaを算出する際の基準面は、各領域毎に基準面を求めるのではなく、測定範囲全体で求めた基準面とした。
In the present invention, SRa is obtained by expanding the arithmetic average roughness Ra of the two-dimensional roughness parameter described in JIS B0601: 1994 to three dimensions, and placing the orthogonal coordinate axes X and Y axes on the reference plane, If the curved surface is Z (x, y) and the size of the reference surface is Lx, Ly, the following equation (a) is calculated.

Note that the reference plane for calculating SRa in each region was not a reference plane for each region, but a reference plane obtained for the entire measurement range.
 条件A-1及びA-2の測定では、合計100個以上の数の測定領域を設けるものとする。また、各測定領域は連続させて間隔を空けないものとする。また、各測定領域は、X方向及びこれに直交するY方向の2つの方向に連続させることが好ましい。例えば、測定領域の合計数を100個とする場合、64μm×6400μmの領域から100個の測定領域を形成するのではなく、640μm四方の領域から100個の測定領域を形成することが好ましい。
 三次元粗さ曲面は、簡便性から干渉顕微鏡を用いて測定することが好ましい。このような干渉顕微鏡としては、Zygo社製の「New View」シリーズ等が挙げられる。また、SRaは上述の干渉顕微鏡「New View」シリーズに付属の測定・解析アプリケーションソフト「MetroPro」により算出できる。
In the measurement under conditions A-1 and A-2, a total of 100 or more measurement areas are provided. In addition, it is assumed that the measurement areas are continuous and do not leave a space. Each measurement region is preferably continuous in two directions, ie, the X direction and the Y direction orthogonal thereto. For example, when the total number of measurement regions is 100, it is preferable to form 100 measurement regions from a 640 μm square region, instead of forming 100 measurement regions from a 64 μm × 6400 μm region.
The three-dimensional roughness curved surface is preferably measured using an interference microscope for simplicity. Examples of such an interference microscope include “New View” series manufactured by Zygo. SRa can be calculated by the measurement / analysis application software “MetroPro” attached to the above-described interference microscope “New View” series.

 光学シートは、JIS K7361-1:1997の全光線透過率が80%以上であることが好ましく、85%以上であることがより好ましく、90%以上であることがさらに好ましい。 The optical sheet preferably has a total light transmittance of JIS K7361-1: 1997 of 80% or more, more preferably 85% or more, and further preferably 90% or more.
 光学シートは、JIS K7136:2000のヘイズが25~60%であることが好ましく、30~60%であることがより好ましく、30~50%であることがさらに好ましい。ヘイズを25%以上とすることにより、防眩性を付与するとともに、電極の形状や傷を見えづらくすることができる。また、ヘイズを60%以下とすることにより、超高精細の表示素子の解像度の低下を防止するとともに、コントラストの低下を防止しやすくできる。 The optical sheet preferably has a haze of JIS K7136: 2000 of 25 to 60%, more preferably 30 to 60%, and further preferably 30 to 50%. By setting the haze to 25% or more, it is possible to impart antiglare properties and make it difficult to see the shape and scratches of the electrode. Further, by setting the haze to 60% or less, it is possible to prevent a decrease in resolution of an ultra-high-definition display element and to easily prevent a decrease in contrast.

 表面ヘイズ及び内部へイズは、例えば、実施例に記載の方法で求めることができる。
When haze is divided into surface haze (Hs) and internal haze (Hi), the surface haze is preferably 5 to 25%, more preferably 5 to 20%, and more preferably 7 to 15%. More preferably. By setting the surface haze to 5% or more, it is possible to improve the antiglare property and make it difficult to see the shape and scratches of the electrode. By setting the surface haze to 25% or less, the contrast and resolution are prevented from being lowered. It can be done easily.
The internal haze is preferably 15 to 40%, more preferably 20 to 40%, and further preferably 25 to 38%. By setting the internal haze to 15% or more, it is easy to prevent glare due to a synergistic effect with the surface unevenness, and by setting the internal haze to 40% or less, it is possible to prevent the resolution of the ultrahigh-definition display element from being lowered.

 上述の光学シートは、少なくとも一方の面に凹凸形状を有し、条件A-1及びA-2を満たすか、あるいは、条件B-1及びB-2を満たすものであれば、特に制限することなく使用できる。また、凹凸形状は光学シートの両面に有していてもよいが、取り扱い性、映像の視認性(解像度、白化)の観点から、凹凸形状を片面に有し、他方の面は略平滑(Ra0.02μm以下)であることが好ましい。
 また、光学シートは、凹凸層の単層であってもよいし、透明基材上に凹凸層を有する複層であってもよい。取り扱い性及び製造の容易性からは、透明基材上に凹凸層を有する構成が好適である。
The optical sheet described above is particularly limited as long as it has a concavo-convex shape on at least one surface and satisfies the conditions A-1 and A-2 or the conditions B-1 and B-2. Can be used without In addition, the concave and convex shape may be provided on both surfaces of the optical sheet, but from the viewpoint of handling properties and image visibility (resolution, whitening), the concave and convex shape is provided on one side, and the other surface is substantially smooth (Ra0). 0.02 μm or less).
In addition, the optical sheet may be a single layer of a concavo-convex layer or a multilayer having a concavo-convex layer on a transparent substrate. From the viewpoint of ease of handling and manufacturing, a configuration having an uneven layer on a transparent substrate is preferable.
 凹凸の形成方法としては、例えば、1)エンボスロールを用いた方法、2)エッチング処理、3)型による成型、4)コーティングによる塗膜の形成等が挙げられる。これら方法の中では、凹凸形状の再現性の観点からは3)の型による成型が好適であり、生産性及び多品種対応の観点からは4)のコーティングによる塗膜の形成が好適である。 Examples of the method for forming irregularities include 1) a method using an embossing roll, 2) an etching process, 3) molding by a mold, 4) formation of a coating film by coating, and the like. Among these methods, the molding by the mold 3) is preferable from the viewpoint of reproducibility of the uneven shape, and the formation of the coating film by the coating of 4) is preferable from the viewpoint of productivity and a variety of products.
 型による成型は、凹凸面と相補的な形状からなる型を作製し、当該型に高分子樹脂やガラス等の凹凸層を構成する材料を流し込んで硬化させた後、型から取り出すことにより製造することができる。透明基材を使用する場合には、型に高分子樹脂等を流し込み、その上に透明基材を重ね合わせた後、高分子樹脂等を硬化させ、透明基材ごと型から取り出すことにより製造することができる。 Molding with a mold is performed by producing a mold having a shape complementary to the concave and convex surface, pouring a material constituting the concave and convex layer such as a polymer resin or glass into the mold and curing it, and then removing the mold from the mold. be able to.

 コーティングによる塗膜の形成は、バインダー樹脂及び粒子を含有してなる凹凸層形成塗布液を、グラビアコーティング、バーコーティング等の公知の塗布方法により透明基材上に塗布し、必要に応じて乾燥、硬化することにより形成することができる。
 条件A-1及びA-2を満たすか、あるいは、条件B-1及びB-2を満たすためには、凹凸層形成塗布液中に、粒子として有機粒子及び無機微粒子を含有させることが好ましい。このように凹凸層中に異種の粒子を含有することにより、凹凸層の表面形状のバラツキを少なくできると考えられる。
Formation of a coating film by coating is performed by applying an uneven layer forming coating solution containing a binder resin and particles on a transparent substrate by a known coating method such as gravure coating and bar coating, and drying as necessary. It can be formed by curing.
In order to satisfy the conditions A-1 and A-2, or to satisfy the conditions B-1 and B-2, it is preferable to contain organic particles and inorganic fine particles as particles in the uneven layer forming coating solution. Thus, it is considered that variation in the surface shape of the concavo-convex layer can be reduced by containing different kinds of particles in the concavo-convex layer.

 通常、有機粒子の存在しない箇所は凹凸層の表面が略平滑となるが、図3の凹凸層は有機粒子の存在しない箇所も緩やかな傾斜を有している。この原因は、無機微粒子により、塗布液のチキソトロピー性及び溶媒の乾燥特性が影響を受け、通常のようなレベリングが生じていないためと考えられる。このように、有機粒子の存在しない箇所にも緩やかな傾斜が形成されることにより、凹凸層の表面形状にバラツキが少なくなり、条件A-1及びA-2を満たすか、あるいは、条件B-1及びB-2を満たすことができると考えられる。

Usually, the surface of the concavo-convex layer is substantially smooth at the place where the organic particles are not present, but the concavo-convex layer of FIG. 3 has a gentle slope at the place where the organic particles are not present. This is presumably because the inorganic fine particles affect the thixotropy of the coating solution and the drying characteristics of the solvent, and normal leveling does not occur. As described above, a gentle slope is formed even in a portion where no organic particles exist, so that the surface shape of the uneven layer is less varied, and the conditions A-1 and A-2 are satisfied, or the condition B- 1 and B-2 can be satisfied.
 有機粒子は、球形、円盤状、ラグビーボール状、不定形等の形状が挙げられ、また、これら形状の中空粒子、多孔質粒子及び中実粒子等が挙げられる。これらの中でも、ギラツキ防止の観点からは、球形の中実粒子が好適である。
 有機粒子としては、ポリメチルメタクリレート、アクリル-スチレン共重合体、メラミン樹脂、ポリカーボネート、ポリスチレン、ポリ塩化ビニル、ベンゾグアナミン-メラミン-ホルムアルデヒド縮合物、シリコーン樹脂、フッ素系樹脂及びポリエステル等からなる粒子が挙げられる。
 有機粒子は表面が親水化処理されていない非親水化処理有機粒子が好ましい。無機微粒子の代表例であるシリカ微粒子は親水性の度合いが高いため、非親水化処理有機粒子を用いることにより、有機粒子とシリカとが凹凸層内で密集することなく(例えば、有機粒子の周りにシリカが偏在することなく)均一に分散され、凹凸層の表面形状のバラツキを少なくしやすいためである。
 また、上述の有機粒子の中でも、アクリル-スチレン共重合体粒子及びポリスチレン粒子が好ましく、ポリスチレン粒子がより好ましい。アクリル-スチレン共重合体粒子及びポリスチレン粒子は、比重が小さく凹凸層中で沈みにくいため、凹凸層の表面形状にバラツキが少なくなると考えられる。また、ポリスチレン粒子は疎水性の度合いが強いため、凹凸層内で無機微粒子の代表例であるシリカ微粒子と密集することなく均一に分散され、凹凸層の表面形状にバラツキが少なくなると考えられる。また、アクリル-スチレン共重合体粒子は、屈折率及び親疎水の程度の制御が容易であることから、内部ヘイズ、及び凝集/分散の制御がしやすい点で良好である。
Examples of the organic particles include a spherical shape, a disk shape, a rugby ball shape, and an indefinite shape, and examples thereof include hollow particles, porous particles, and solid particles. Among these, spherical solid particles are preferable from the viewpoint of preventing glare.
Examples of the organic particles include particles composed of polymethyl methacrylate, acrylic-styrene copolymer, melamine resin, polycarbonate, polystyrene, polyvinyl chloride, benzoguanamine-melamine-formaldehyde condensate, silicone resin, fluorine resin, polyester, and the like. .
The organic particles are preferably non-hydrophilic treatment organic particles whose surface is not hydrophilized. Silica fine particles, which are representative examples of inorganic fine particles, have a high degree of hydrophilicity. Therefore, by using non-hydrophilic treatment organic particles, the organic particles and silica are not concentrated in the uneven layer (for example, around the organic particles). This is because the dispersion of the surface of the concavo-convex layer is easy to reduce.
Among the above-mentioned organic particles, acrylic-styrene copolymer particles and polystyrene particles are preferable, and polystyrene particles are more preferable. Since the acryl-styrene copolymer particles and the polystyrene particles have a small specific gravity and are difficult to sink in the concavo-convex layer, the surface shape of the concavo-convex layer is considered to have less variation. In addition, since the polystyrene particles have a strong degree of hydrophobicity, it is considered that the polystyrene particles are uniformly dispersed in the uneven layer without being densely mixed with silica fine particles, which are representative examples of inorganic fine particles, and the surface shape of the uneven layer is less likely to vary. In addition, the acrylic-styrene copolymer particles are good in that the internal haze and the aggregation / dispersion can be easily controlled because the refractive index and the degree of hydrophilicity / hydrophobicity can be easily controlled.
 また、凹凸層の表面形状のバラツキを少なくする観点からは、[有機粒子の比重/バインダー樹脂及び無機微粒子の混合物の比重]が1.0未満であることが好ましい。 Further, from the viewpoint of reducing variation in the surface shape of the uneven layer, it is preferable that [specific gravity of organic particles / specific gravity of a mixture of binder resin and inorganic fine particles] is less than 1.0.
 有機粒子は、凹凸層の表面形状のバラツキを少なくする観点から、平均粒子径が2~10μmであることが好ましく、3~8μmであることがより好ましい。
 また、有機粒子の平均粒子径と凹凸層の厚みとの比(有機粒子の平均粒子径/凹凸層の厚み)は、凹凸層の表面形状のバラツキを少なくする観点から、0.4~0.8であることが好ましく、0.5~0.7であることがより好ましい。
The organic particles preferably have an average particle diameter of 2 to 10 μm, and more preferably 3 to 8 μm, from the viewpoint of reducing variations in the surface shape of the uneven layer.
The ratio of the average particle diameter of the organic particles to the thickness of the concavo-convex layer (average particle diameter of the organic particles / thickness of the concavo-convex layer) is 0.4 to 0.00 from the viewpoint of reducing the variation in the surface shape of the concavo-convex layer. 8 is preferable, and 0.5 to 0.7 is more preferable.
 有機粒子の平均粒子径は、以下の(1)~(3)の作業により算出できる。
(1)本発明の光学シートを光学顕微鏡にて透過観察画像を撮像する。倍率は500~2000倍が好ましい。
(2)観察画像から任意の10個の粒子を抽出し、個々の粒子の長径及び短径を測定し、長径及び短径の平均から個々の粒子の粒子径を算出する。長径は、個々の粒子の画面上において最も長い径とする。また、短径は、長径を構成する線分の中点に直交する線分を引き、該直交する線分が粒子と交わる2点間の距離をいうものとする。
(3)同じサンプルの別画面の観察画像において同様の作業を5回行って、合計50個分の粒子径の数平均から得られる値を有機粒子の平均粒子径とする。
 無機微粒子の平均一次粒子径及び無機微粒子の凝集体の平均粒子径は、まず、本発明の光学シートの断面をTEM又はSTEMで撮像する。撮像後、上記(2)及び(3)と同様の手法を行うことにより、無機微粒子の平均一次粒子径及び無機微粒子の凝集体の平均粒子径を算出できる。TEM又はSTEMの加速電圧は10kv~30kV、倍率は5万~30万倍とすることが好ましい。
The average particle diameter of the organic particles can be calculated by the following operations (1) to (3).
(1) A transmission observation image of the optical sheet of the present invention is taken with an optical microscope. The magnification is preferably 500 to 2000 times.
(2) Ten arbitrary particles are extracted from the observed image, the major axis and minor axis of each particle are measured, and the particle diameter of each particle is calculated from the average of the major axis and minor axis. The major axis is the longest diameter on the screen of individual particles. The minor axis is a distance between two points where a line segment perpendicular to the midpoint of the line segment constituting the major axis is drawn and the perpendicular line segment intersects the particle.
(3) The same operation is performed five times on the observation image of another screen of the same sample, and the value obtained from the number average of the particle diameters for a total of 50 particles is taken as the average particle diameter of the organic particles.
Regarding the average primary particle diameter of the inorganic fine particles and the average particle diameter of the aggregates of the inorganic fine particles, first, the cross section of the optical sheet of the present invention is imaged by TEM or STEM. After imaging, the average primary particle diameter of the inorganic fine particles and the average particle diameter of the aggregates of the inorganic fine particles can be calculated by performing the same method as in the above (2) and (3). The acceleration voltage of TEM or STEM is preferably 10 kv to 30 kV, and the magnification is preferably 50,000 to 300,000 times.
 有機粒子の含有量は、凹凸層の表面形状のバラツキを少なくする観点から、凹凸層を形成する全固形分中の2~25質量%であることが好ましく、5~20質量%であることがより好ましく、6~12質量%であることがさらに好ましい。 The content of the organic particles is preferably 2 to 25% by mass, and preferably 5 to 20% by mass, based on the total solid content forming the uneven layer, from the viewpoint of reducing variation in the surface shape of the uneven layer. More preferably, it is 6 to 12% by mass.
 無機微粒子としては、シリカ、アルミナ、ジルコニア及びチタニア等からなる微粒子が挙げられる。無機微粒子は、凹凸層中に均一に分布していることで、凹凸層の表面形状のバラツキを少なくしやすくできる。また、無機微粒子は、凹凸層中で凝集体を形成し、凝集体が疎に分布していることが好ましい。無機微粒子が凝集体を形成することで、表面形状のばらつきを少なくする効果がより大きくなり、該凝集体が疎に分布していることで無機微粒子による拡散の影響を小さくできる。
 上記無機微粒子の中でも、透明性の観点、及び凹凸層の表面形状のバラツキをより少なくする観点からシリカ微粒子が好適である。
Examples of the inorganic fine particles include fine particles made of silica, alumina, zirconia, titania and the like. Since the inorganic fine particles are uniformly distributed in the concavo-convex layer, the unevenness of the surface shape of the concavo-convex layer can be easily reduced. In addition, it is preferable that the inorganic fine particles form aggregates in the uneven layer, and the aggregates are sparsely distributed. By forming the aggregates of the inorganic fine particles, the effect of reducing the variation in the surface shape becomes larger, and the influence of diffusion by the inorganic fine particles can be reduced by the sparse distribution of the aggregates.
Among the inorganic fine particles, silica fine particles are preferable from the viewpoint of transparency and the viewpoint of reducing variation in the surface shape of the uneven layer.
 「凹凸層中で均一に分布している」とは、TEM、STEM等の透過型電子顕微鏡にて倍率1万倍の条件で凹凸層の厚み方向の有機粒子が観察されない箇所から任意の断面10カ所を観察したときに、各断面で5μm四方の観察領域中のシリカ微粒子の面積割合を測定したとき、その平均値をM、その標準偏差をSとしたとき、S/M≦0.1であることを意味する。
 「凹凸層中で凝集体が疎に分布している」とは、局所的には、無機微粒子が不均一に分布していることを表し、上記と同様に観察したときに、各断面で0.5μm四方の観察領域中のシリカ微粒子の面積割合を測定したとき、その平均値をM、その標準偏差をSとしたとき、S/M≧0.2であることを意味する。
 なお、このような無機微粒子の分布は、凹凸層の厚み方向の断面電子顕微鏡観察にて容易に判別することができる。例えば、図3は、実施例1の光学シートの断面STEM写真であり、下部の淡色領域が基材であり、基材上部の濃色帯状領域が凹凸層の断面である。該凹凸層の断面において、黒く斑に観察される部分が無機微粒子(シリカ微粒子)の凝集体であり、シリカ微粒子の凝集体が凹凸層中で均一に分散していることが明確に確認できる。また、無機微粒子の凝集体の面積割合は、例えば、画像解析ソフトを用いて算出することができる。
“Uniformly distributed in the concavo-convex layer” means an arbitrary cross section 10 from a portion where organic particles in the thickness direction of the concavo-convex layer are not observed with a transmission electron microscope such as TEM or STEM at a magnification of 10,000 times. When the area was measured, the area ratio of the silica fine particles in the observation area of 5 μm square in each cross section was measured, the average value was M, and the standard deviation was S, and S / M ≦ 0.1. It means that there is.
“Agglomerates are sparsely distributed in the concavo-convex layer” means that the inorganic fine particles are locally distributed unevenly. When observed in the same manner as described above, 0 is not observed in each cross section. When the area ratio of the silica fine particles in the observation area of 5 μm square is measured, when M is the average value and S is the standard deviation, it means that S / M ≧ 0.2.
The distribution of such inorganic fine particles can be easily determined by observation with a cross-sectional electron microscope in the thickness direction of the uneven layer. For example, FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional STEM photograph of the optical sheet of Example 1, in which the lower light-colored region is the base material, and the dark-colored belt-like region at the upper part of the base material is the cross-section of the uneven layer. In the cross section of the concavo-convex layer, it can be clearly confirmed that the portions observed in black spots are aggregates of inorganic fine particles (silica fine particles), and the aggregates of silica fine particles are uniformly dispersed in the concavo-convex layer. The area ratio of the aggregates of inorganic fine particles can be calculated using, for example, image analysis software.
 無機微粒子は、表面処理されていることが好ましい。無機微粒子が表面処理されていることで、凹凸層中での無機微粒子の分布を適切に制御しやすくできる。また、無機微粒子自体の耐薬品性及び耐ケン化性の向上を図ることもできる。
 なお、有機粒子の周りに無機微粒子が密集しないようにするため、有機微粒子から500nm外側の円周内でかつ有機微粒子を除いた領域に占める無機微粒子の面積割合を示す「Mn」と、有機微粒子から500nm外側の円周より外側の領域での無機微粒子の面積割合を示す「Mf」とが、Mf/Mn≧1.0の関係を満たすことが好ましい。Mn及びMfは、TEM、STEM等の透過型電子顕微鏡にて倍率1万倍の条件で凹凸層の厚み方向の有機粒子が観察される断面を顕微鏡観察することにより算出できる。
The inorganic fine particles are preferably surface-treated. The surface treatment of the inorganic fine particles makes it easy to appropriately control the distribution of the inorganic fine particles in the uneven layer. Moreover, the chemical resistance and saponification resistance of the inorganic fine particles themselves can be improved.
In order to prevent the inorganic fine particles from concentrating around the organic particles, “Mn” indicating the area ratio of the inorganic fine particles in the region outside the organic fine particles within the circumference of 500 nm and excluding the organic fine particles, and the organic fine particles It is preferable that “Mf” indicating the area ratio of the inorganic fine particles in a region outside the circumference from 500 nm outside satisfies the relationship of Mf / Mn ≧ 1.0. Mn and Mf can be calculated by observing a cross section in which organic particles in the thickness direction of the concavo-convex layer are observed with a transmission electron microscope such as TEM or STEM at a magnification of 10,000 times.
 上記表面処理としては、無機微粒子の表面を疎水性にする疎水化処理が好ましい。疎水化処理としては、例えば、無機微粒子を、メチル基、オクチル基等のアクリル基を有するシラン化合物で処理する方法等が挙げられる。
 例えば、シリカ微粒子の表面には水酸基(シラノール基)が存在しているが、上記表面処理がされることでシリカ微粒子の表面の水酸基が少なくなり、シリカ微粒子が過度に凝集することを防止でき、シリカ微粒子が不均一に分散することを抑制できる。
The surface treatment is preferably a hydrophobization treatment that makes the surface of the inorganic fine particles hydrophobic. Examples of the hydrophobic treatment include a method of treating inorganic fine particles with a silane compound having an acrylic group such as a methyl group or an octyl group.
For example, there are hydroxyl groups (silanol groups) on the surface of the silica fine particles, but the surface treatment reduces the number of hydroxyl groups on the surface of the silica fine particles, and prevents the silica fine particles from aggregating excessively. It can suppress that a silica fine particle disperse | distributes unevenly.
 無機微粒子としてシリカ微粒子を用いる場合、過度の凝集を抑制するために非晶質シリカが好ましい。一方、シリカ微粒子が結晶性シリカの場合、結晶構造中に含まれる格子欠陥によりシリカ微粒子のルイス酸性が強くなってしまい、シリカ微粒子が過度に凝集してしまう場合がある。 When silica fine particles are used as the inorganic fine particles, amorphous silica is preferable in order to suppress excessive aggregation. On the other hand, when the silica fine particle is crystalline silica, the Lewis acidity of the silica fine particle becomes strong due to lattice defects contained in the crystal structure, and the silica fine particle may agglomerate excessively.
 シリカ微粒子としては、それ自身が凝集しやすく後述の粒子径の範囲の凝集体を形成しやすいことから、例えば、フュームドシリカが好適に用いられる。
 フュームドシリカとは、乾式法で作製された粒子径が200nm以下の粒子径を有する非晶質のシリカをいい、ケイ素を含む揮発性化合物を気相で反応させることにより得られる。フュームドシリカは、例えば、SiCl等のケイ素化合物を酸素と水素の炎中で加水分解することにより生成することができ、AEROSIL R805(日本アエロジル社製)等が挙げられる。
As the silica fine particles, for example, fumed silica is preferably used because it tends to aggregate itself and easily forms an aggregate having a particle diameter range described below.
Fumed silica refers to amorphous silica having a particle size of 200 nm or less prepared by a dry method, and is obtained by reacting a volatile compound containing silicon in a gas phase. Fumed silica can be produced by, for example, hydrolyzing a silicon compound such as SiCl 4 in a flame of oxygen and hydrogen, and examples thereof include AEROSIL R805 (manufactured by Nippon Aerosil Co., Ltd.).
 無機微粒子の含有量は特に限定されないが、凹凸層を形成する全固形分の1.0~15.0質量%であることが好ましく、2.0~10.0質量%であることがより好ましく、3.0~8.0質量%であることがさらに好ましい。当該範囲とすることにより、レベリング性の制御、及び凹凸層の重合収縮の抑制により、凹凸層の表面形状のバラツキを少なくしやすくできる。
 また、凹凸層中における有機粒子及び無機微粒子の含有量の比(有機粒子の含有量/無機微粒子の含有量)は、凹凸層の表面形状のバラツキを少なくしやすくする観点から、0.5~2.5であることが好ましく、0.8~2.2であることがより好ましい。
The content of the inorganic fine particles is not particularly limited, but is preferably 1.0 to 15.0% by mass, more preferably 2.0 to 10.0% by mass based on the total solid content forming the uneven layer. More preferably, the content is 3.0 to 8.0% by mass. By setting it as the said range, the variation in the surface shape of an uneven | corrugated layer can be easily decreased by control of leveling property and suppression of the polymerization shrinkage of an uneven | corrugated layer.
In addition, the ratio of the content of organic particles and inorganic fine particles in the uneven layer (content of organic particles / content of inorganic fine particles) is 0.5 to 0.5 from the viewpoint of easily reducing variation in the surface shape of the uneven layer. It is preferably 2.5, and more preferably 0.8 to 2.2.
 無機微粒子は、平均一次粒子径が1~100nmであることが好ましい。平均一次粒子径を1nm以上とすることにより、適切な凝集体を形成しやすくなり、100nm以下とすることにより、光拡散によるコントラストの低下、及び内部へイズの過剰な上昇を抑制できる。より好ましい下限は5nm、より好ましい上限は50nm、さらに好ましい上限は20nmである。 The inorganic fine particles preferably have an average primary particle diameter of 1 to 100 nm. By setting the average primary particle diameter to 1 nm or more, it becomes easy to form an appropriate aggregate, and by setting it to 100 nm or less, it is possible to suppress a decrease in contrast due to light diffusion and an excessive increase in noise. A more preferred lower limit is 5 nm, a more preferred upper limit is 50 nm, and a still more preferred upper limit is 20 nm.
 シリカ微粒子の凝集体は、図3の断面電子顕微鏡写真のように、任意の方向に連なった構造を形成することが好ましい。凹凸層中でシリカ微粒子が任意の方向に連なった凝集体を形成していることで、有機粒子に基づく均一な凹凸形状を形成させやすくできる。
 なお、シリカ微粒子が任意の方向に連なった構造とは、例えば、シリカ微粒子が直線状に連続して連なった構造(直鎖構造)、該直鎖構造が複数絡み合った構造、上記直鎖構造にシリカ微粒子が複数連続して形成された側鎖を1又は2以上有する分岐構造等、任意の構造が挙げられる。
 上記のようにシリカ微粒子が任意の方向に連なった凝集体を形成するためには、フュームドシリカを用いることが好ましい。
The agglomerates of silica fine particles preferably form a structure connected in an arbitrary direction as shown in the cross-sectional electron micrograph of FIG. By forming an aggregate in which the silica fine particles are continuous in an arbitrary direction in the uneven layer, a uniform uneven shape based on the organic particles can be easily formed.
The structure in which silica fine particles are connected in an arbitrary direction is, for example, a structure in which silica fine particles are continuously connected in a straight line (linear structure), a structure in which a plurality of the linear structures are intertwined, or the above linear structure. Any structure such as a branched structure having one or more side chains in which a plurality of silica fine particles are continuously formed can be used.
In order to form an aggregate in which silica fine particles are continuous in an arbitrary direction as described above, it is preferable to use fumed silica.
 無機微粒子の凝集体は、平均粒子径が100nm~1μmであることが好ましい。凝集体の平均粒子径を100nm以上とすることにより、凹凸層の表面形状のバラツキを少なくしやすくでき、1μm以下とすることにより、光拡散によるコントラストの低下を抑制できる。凝集体の平均粒子径のより好ましい下限は200nm、より好ましい上限は800nmである。 The aggregate of inorganic fine particles preferably has an average particle diameter of 100 nm to 1 μm. By setting the average particle size of the aggregate to 100 nm or more, it is easy to reduce the variation in the surface shape of the uneven layer, and by setting it to 1 μm or less, it is possible to suppress a decrease in contrast due to light diffusion. The more preferable lower limit of the average particle diameter of the aggregate is 200 nm, and the more preferable upper limit is 800 nm.

 分子中に水酸基を含まない多官能性(メタ)アクリレート系化合物の割合を多くすることにより、凹凸層形成用塗布液の溶剤として極性の高い溶剤(例えば、イソプロピルアルコール)を用いた際に、該溶剤を蒸発させやすくすることができ、無機微粒子の過剰な凝集を抑制できる。
The ionizing radiation curable resin composition preferably contains 50% by mass or more, more preferably 60% by mass or more of a polyfunctional (meth) acrylate compound that does not contain a hydroxyl group in the molecule.

When the ionizing radiation curable compound is an ultraviolet curable compound, the ionizing radiation curable composition preferably contains additives such as a photopolymerization initiator and a photopolymerization accelerator.
Examples of the photopolymerization initiator include one or more selected from acetophenone, benzophenone, α-hydroxyalkylphenone, Michler's ketone, benzoin, benzylmethyl ketal, benzoylbenzoate, α-acyloxime ester, thioxanthones and the like.
These photopolymerization initiators preferably have a melting point of 100 ° C. or higher. By setting the melting point of the photopolymerization initiator to 100 ° C. or higher, the photopolymerization initiator remaining during the formation of the transparent conductive film of the touch panel or the heat of the crystallization process is sublimated, and the low resistance of the transparent conductive film is impaired. Can be prevented.
The photopolymerization accelerator can reduce polymerization inhibition by air during curing and increase the curing speed. For example, p-dimethylaminobenzoic acid isoamyl ester, p-dimethylaminobenzoic acid ethyl ester, etc. One or more selected may be mentioned.
 凹凸層の厚みは、カール抑制、機械的強度、硬度及び靭性とのバランスの観点から、2~10μmであることが好ましく、5~8μmであることがより好ましい。
 凹凸層の厚みは、例えば、走査型透過電子顕微鏡(STEM)を用いて撮影した断面の画像から20箇所の厚みを測定し、20箇所の値の平均値から算出できる。STEMの加速電圧は10kv~30kV、倍率は1000~7000倍とすることが好ましい。
The thickness of the concavo-convex layer is preferably 2 to 10 μm, and more preferably 5 to 8 μm, from the viewpoint of curling suppression, a balance with mechanical strength, hardness and toughness.
The thickness of the concavo-convex layer can be calculated, for example, by measuring the thickness at 20 locations from a cross-sectional image taken using a scanning transmission electron microscope (STEM) and calculating the average value of the 20 locations. The acceleration voltage of STEM is preferably 10 kv to 30 kV, and the magnification is preferably 1000 to 7000 times.
 凹凸層形成塗布液には、通常、粘度を調節したり、各成分を溶解または分散可能とするために溶剤を用いる。溶剤の種類によって、塗布、乾燥した後の凹凸層の表面状態が異なるため、溶剤の飽和蒸気圧、透明基材への溶剤の浸透性等を考慮して溶剤を選定することが好ましい。具体的には、溶剤は、例えば、ケトン類(アセトン、メチルエチルケトン、メチルイソブチルケトン、シクロヘキサノン等)、エーテル類(ジオキサン、テトラヒドロフラン等)、脂肪族炭化水素類(ヘキサン等)、脂環式炭化水素類(シクロヘキサン等)、芳香族炭化水素類(トルエン、キシレン等)、ハロゲン化炭素類(ジクロロメタン、ジクロロエタン等)、エステル類(酢酸メチル、酢酸エチル、酢酸ブチル、プロピレングリコールモノメチルエーテルアセテート等)、アルコール類(ブタノール、シクロヘキサノール等)、セロソルブ類(メチルセロソルブ、エチルセロソルブ等)、セロソルブアセテート類、スルホキシド類(ジメチルスルホキシド等)、アミド類(ジメチルホルムアミド、ジメチルアセトアミド等)等が例示でき、これらの混合物であってもよい。 In the concavo-convex layer forming coating solution, a solvent is usually used in order to adjust the viscosity and to dissolve or disperse each component. Since the surface state of the concavo-convex layer after coating and drying differs depending on the type of the solvent, it is preferable to select the solvent in consideration of the saturated vapor pressure of the solvent, the permeability of the solvent into the transparent substrate, and the like. Specifically, the solvent is, for example, ketones (acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, methyl isobutyl ketone, cyclohexanone, etc.), ethers (dioxane, tetrahydrofuran, etc.), aliphatic hydrocarbons (hexane, etc.), alicyclic hydrocarbons. (Cyclohexane, etc.), aromatic hydrocarbons (toluene, xylene, etc.), halogenated carbons (dichloromethane, dichloroethane, etc.), esters (methyl acetate, ethyl acetate, butyl acetate, propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate, etc.), alcohols (Butanol, cyclohexanol, etc.), cellosolves (methyl cellosolve, ethyl cellosolve, etc.), cellosolve acetates, sulfoxides (dimethylsulfoxide, etc.), amides (dimethylformamide, dimethylacetamide, etc.) , Or a mixture thereof.
 溶剤の乾燥が遅い場合、凹凸層内で無機微粒子が過度に凝集して、凹凸層の表面形状のバラツキを少なくしづらくなる。無機微粒子の過度な凝集を防ぐために、溶剤は、極性が高く、かつ揮発速度が速いものを所定量含有させることが好ましい。
 また、極性が高く、揮発速度が速い溶剤は、他の溶剤よりも先に揮発するため、塗膜形成時に有機微粒子の周囲の疎水性が強くなる。このため、極性が高く、揮発速度が速い溶剤を用いることにより、有機粒子の周りに無機微粒子が偏在することを防止でき、凹凸層内で有機粒子と無機微粒子とが密集することなく均一に分散できる。
 本明細書において「極性が高い溶剤」とは、溶解度パラメータが10[(cal/cm1/2]以上の溶剤を意味し、「揮発速度が速い溶剤」とは、相対蒸発速度が150以上の溶剤を意味する。
When the drying of the solvent is slow, the inorganic fine particles are excessively aggregated in the concavo-convex layer, and it becomes difficult to reduce variations in the surface shape of the concavo-convex layer. In order to prevent excessive aggregation of the inorganic fine particles, the solvent preferably contains a predetermined amount of a solvent having a high polarity and a high volatilization rate.
In addition, since a solvent having a high polarity and a high volatilization rate is volatilized before other solvents, the hydrophobicity around the organic fine particles becomes strong at the time of coating film formation. For this reason, it is possible to prevent the inorganic fine particles from being unevenly distributed around the organic particles by using a solvent having a high polarity and a high volatilization rate, and the organic particles and the inorganic fine particles are uniformly dispersed in the concavo-convex layer without being concentrated. it can.
In this specification, “a solvent having a high polarity” means a solvent having a solubility parameter of 10 [(cal / cm 3 ) 1/2 ] or more, and “a solvent having a high volatilization rate” means a relative evaporation rate of 150. The above solvents are meant.
 溶解度パラメータは、Fedorsの方法で計算される。Fedorsの方法は、例えば「SP値 基礎・応用と計算方法」(山本秀樹著 株式会社情報機構発行、2005年)に記載されている。Fedorsの方法において、溶解度パラメータは下記式より算出される。
  溶解度パラメータ=[ΣEcoh/ΣV]
 上記式中、Ecohは凝集エネルギー密度、Vはモル分子容である。原子団ごとに決められたEcoh及びVに基づき、Ecoh及びVの総和であるΣEcoh及びΣVを求めることによって、溶解度パラメータを算出することができる。
The solubility parameter is calculated by the method of Fedors. The Fedors method is described, for example, in “SP Value Basics / Applications and Calculation Methods” (Hideki Yamamoto, published by Information Technology Corporation, 2005). In the Fedors method, the solubility parameter is calculated from the following equation.
Solubility parameter = [ΣE coh / ΣV] 2
In the above formula, Ecoh is the cohesive energy density and V is the molar molecular volume. Based on E coh and V determined for each atomic group, the solubility parameter can be calculated by obtaining ΣE coh and ΣV, which is the sum of E coh and V.
 本明細書において「相対蒸発速度」とは、n-酢酸ブチルの蒸発速度を100とした時の相対蒸発速度をいい、ASTM D3539-87に準拠して測定される蒸発速度で、下記式により算出される。具体的には、25℃、乾燥空気下におけるn-酢酸ブチルの蒸発時間と各溶剤の蒸発時間を測定し算出する。
 相対蒸発速度=[(n-酢酸ブチル90重量%が蒸発するのに要する時間)/(測定溶剤の90重量%が蒸発するのに要する時間)]×100
In this specification, “relative evaporation rate” means a relative evaporation rate when the evaporation rate of n-butyl acetate is 100, and is an evaporation rate measured in accordance with ASTM D3539-87. Is done. Specifically, the evaporation time of n-butyl acetate and the evaporation time of each solvent at 25 ° C. in dry air are measured and calculated.
Relative evaporation rate = [(time required for 90% by weight of n-butyl acetate to evaporate) / (time required for 90% by weight of the solvent to evaporate)] × 100
 極性が高く、かつ、揮発速度が速い溶剤としては、例えば、エタノール、イソプロピルアルコール等が挙げられるが、その中でも、イソプロピルアルコールが好適である。
 また、極性が高く、かつ、揮発速度が速い溶剤の含有量は、全溶剤の10~40質量%であることが好ましい。10質量%以上とすることにより、無機微粒子の過度な凝集を抑制しやすくすることができ、40質量%以下とすることにより、溶剤の揮発が速すぎることにより凹凸層形成塗布液のレベリング性が不足することを抑制できる。
Examples of the solvent having a high polarity and a high volatilization rate include ethanol and isopropyl alcohol. Among them, isopropyl alcohol is preferable.
Further, the content of the solvent having high polarity and fast volatilization rate is preferably 10 to 40% by mass of the total solvent. By setting the amount to 10% by mass or more, excessive aggregation of the inorganic fine particles can be easily suppressed, and by setting the amount to 40% by mass or less, the leveling property of the concavo-convex layer forming coating liquid is increased because the volatilization of the solvent is too fast. The shortage can be suppressed.
 また、上述した凹凸形状を得やすくする観点からは、凹凸層を形成する際、乾燥条件を制御することが好ましい。乾燥条件は、乾燥温度及び乾燥機内の風速により調整することができる。具体的な乾燥温度としては、30~120℃、乾燥風速では0.2~50m/sとすることが好ましい。また、乾燥条件により凹凸層のレベリングを制御するために、電離放射線の照射は乾燥後に行うことが好適である。 Also, from the viewpoint of easily obtaining the above-described uneven shape, it is preferable to control the drying conditions when forming the uneven layer. The drying conditions can be adjusted by the drying temperature and the wind speed in the dryer. Specifically, the drying temperature is preferably 30 to 120 ° C. and the drying air speed is preferably 0.2 to 50 m / s. In order to control the leveling of the concavo-convex layer according to the drying conditions, it is preferable that the irradiation with ionizing radiation is performed after drying.
 また、表面凹凸を適度に滑らかにして、上述した凹凸形状を得やすくする観点からは、凹凸層形成塗布液には、レベリング剤を含有させることが好ましい。レベリング剤は、フッ素系又はシリコーン系のものが挙げられ、凹凸層にベナードセル構造が生じることを抑制しやすいフッ素系のレベリング剤が好適である。レベリング剤の添加量としては、凹凸層形成塗布液の全固形分に対して0.01~0.5重量%が好ましく、0.05~0.2重量%がより好ましい。 Further, from the viewpoint of making the surface irregularities moderately smooth and making it easy to obtain the above-described irregular shape, it is preferable to include a leveling agent in the irregularity layer forming coating solution. Examples of the leveling agent include a fluorine-based or silicone-based one, and a fluorine-based leveling agent that easily suppresses occurrence of a Benard cell structure in the uneven layer is preferable. The amount of the leveling agent added is preferably 0.01 to 0.5% by weight, more preferably 0.05 to 0.2% by weight, based on the total solid content of the coating liquid for forming an uneven layer.
 また、凹凸層形成塗布液は、(1)溶剤にバインダー樹脂及び有機粒子を混合及び攪拌して中間組成物を調製する工程の後、(2)中間組成物に無機微粒子を混合、分散させる工程を行うことで調製することが好ましい。
 凹凸層形成塗布液を上記のように調整することにより、凹凸層の表面形状のバラツキを抑制しやすくできる。一方、上記調整とは異なる手法の場合(有機粒子やバインダー樹脂を添加する前に、無機微粒子を溶剤に添加した場合)、溶剤アタックにより無機微粒子の過剰な凝集が発生してしまい、凹凸層の表面形状のバラツキを少なくしにくくなる。
 上記効果をより確実にするために、工程(2)で無機微粒子を添加する際、無機微粒子は溶剤に分散させた無機微粒子分散物であることが好ましい。
Moreover, the uneven | corrugated layer forming coating liquid is a step of (1) mixing and dispersing an inorganic fine particle in the intermediate composition after the step of preparing the intermediate composition by mixing and stirring the binder resin and organic particles in the solvent. It is preferable to prepare by performing.
By adjusting the concavo-convex layer forming coating solution as described above, it is possible to easily suppress variations in the surface shape of the concavo-convex layer. On the other hand, in the case of a method different from the above adjustment (when inorganic fine particles are added to the solvent before adding organic particles or binder resin), excessive aggregation of the inorganic fine particles occurs due to the solvent attack, and the uneven layer It becomes difficult to reduce variations in surface shape.
In order to secure the above effect, when adding the inorganic fine particles in the step (2), the inorganic fine particles are preferably an inorganic fine particle dispersion dispersed in a solvent.
 光学シートの透明基材としては、光透過性、平滑性、耐熱性を備え、機械的強度に優れたものであることが好ましい。このような透明基材としては、ポリエステル、トリアセチルセルロース(TAC)、セルロースジアセテート、セルロースアセテートブチレート、ポリアミド、ポリイミド、ポリエーテルスルフォン、ポリスルフォン、ポリプロピレン、ポリメチルペンテン、ポリ塩化ビニル、ポリビニルアセタール、ポリエーテルケトン、ポリメタクリル酸メチル、ポリカーボネート、ポリウレタン及び非晶質オレフィン(Cyclo-Olefin-Polymer:COP)等のプラスチックフィルムが挙げられる。透明基材は、2枚以上のプラスチックフィルムを貼り合わせたものであってもよい。 As the transparent base material of the optical sheet, it is preferable that it has light transmission, smoothness and heat resistance and is excellent in mechanical strength. Such transparent substrates include polyester, triacetyl cellulose (TAC), cellulose diacetate, cellulose acetate butyrate, polyamide, polyimide, polyether sulfone, polysulfone, polypropylene, polymethylpentene, polyvinyl chloride, polyvinyl acetal. And plastic films such as polyether ketone, polymethyl methacrylate, polycarbonate, polyurethane and amorphous olefin (Cyclo-Olefin-Polymer: COP). The transparent substrate may be a laminate of two or more plastic films.
 上記の中でも、機械的強度や寸法安定性の観点からは、延伸加工、特に二軸延伸加工されたポリエステル(ポリエチレンテレフタレート、ポリエチレンナフタレート)が好ましい。
 TAC、アクリルは光透過性光学的等方性の観点で好適である。また、TAC、アクリルは溶剤により溶けやすく、溶解したTAC成分、アクリル成分が凹凸層に流入して、比重の小さい有機粒子を押し上げる作用がある。つまり、透明基材として、TAC、アクリルを用いることにより、有機粒子が凹凸層中で沈み込みにくくなり、凹凸層の表面形状のバラツキを少なくしやすくなると考えられる。
 COP、ポリエステルは耐候性に優れる点で好適である。また、リタデーション値3000~30000nmのプラスチックフィルム又は1/4波長位相差のプラスチックフィルムは、偏光サングラスを通して液晶ディスプレイの画像を観察した場合に、表示画面に色の異なるムラが観察されることを防止できる点で好適である。
Among the above, from the viewpoint of mechanical strength and dimensional stability, polyester (polyethylene terephthalate, polyethylene naphthalate) that has been stretched, particularly biaxially stretched, is preferable.
TAC and acrylic are suitable from the viewpoint of optical transparency and optical transparency. In addition, TAC and acrylic are easily dissolved by a solvent, and the dissolved TAC component and acrylic component flow into the uneven layer and have an effect of pushing up organic particles having a small specific gravity. That is, it is considered that by using TAC or acrylic as the transparent substrate, the organic particles are less likely to sink in the concavo-convex layer, and variations in the surface shape of the concavo-convex layer are likely to be reduced.
COP and polyester are suitable in that they are excellent in weather resistance. In addition, a plastic film having a retardation value of 3000 to 30000 nm or a plastic film having a ¼ wavelength retardation can prevent unevenness of different colors from being observed on the display screen when an image on a liquid crystal display is observed through polarized sunglasses. This is preferable in terms of points.
 透明基材の厚さは、5~300μmであることが好ましく、30~200μmであることがより好ましい。
 透明基材の表面には、接着性向上のために、コロナ放電処理、酸化処理等の物理的な処理の他、アンカー剤又はプライマーと呼ばれる塗料の塗布を予め行ってもよい。
The thickness of the transparent substrate is preferably 5 to 300 μm, more preferably 30 to 200 μm.
In order to improve adhesion, the surface of the transparent substrate may be preliminarily coated with a coating called an anchor agent or a primer in addition to physical treatment such as corona discharge treatment and oxidation treatment.
 光学シートは、凹凸形状の上及び/又は凹凸形状と反対側の面上に、反射防止層、防汚層、帯電防止層等の機能性層を有していてもよい。また、透明基材上に凹凸層を有する構成の場合、前記箇所のほかに、透明基材と凹凸層との間に機能性層を有していてもよい。 The optical sheet may have a functional layer such as an antireflection layer, an antifouling layer, or an antistatic layer on the uneven shape and / or on the surface opposite to the uneven shape. Moreover, in the case of a structure having a concavo-convex layer on a transparent base material, a functional layer may be provided between the transparent base material and the concavo-convex layer in addition to the above location.
 本発明のタッチパネルは、防眩性等の諸特性を付与しつつギラツキ防止性をより良好にすることができる。特に、光学シートをタッチパネルの表面部材として用い、かつ光学シートの凹凸形状側の面が表面となるように配置することにより、コントラストの低下を抑制しつつ防眩性を付与しやすくなる点で好適である。 The touch panel of the present invention can improve glare prevention properties while imparting various properties such as anti-glare properties. In particular, using an optical sheet as the surface member of the touch panel and arranging the optical sheet so that the surface on the concave-convex shape side is the surface is preferable in that it is easy to impart antiglare properties while suppressing a decrease in contrast. It is.

1-2.透過像鮮明度
 スガ試験機社製の写像性測定器(商品名:ICM-1T)を用いて、JIS K7374に従って、0.125mm、0.25mm、0.5mm、1mm及び2mmの巾をもつ光学くしを通した5種類の透過像鮮明度を測定した。
1-3.ヘイズ
 まず、ヘイズメーター(HM-150、村上色彩技術研究所製)を用いて、JIS K-7136:2000に従ってヘイズ(全体ヘイズ)を測定した。また、光学シートの表面に、透明粘着剤を介して、厚み80μmのTACフィルム(富士フイルム社製、TD80UL)を貼り付けることによって凹凸形状をつぶして平坦にし、表面形状起因のヘイズの影響をなくした状態でヘイズを測定して、内部ヘイズ(Hi)を求めた。そして、全体ヘイズ値から内部ヘイズ値を差し引いて、表面ヘイズ(Hs)を求めた。光入射面は基材側とした。
1-2. Transmission image definition Optical having a width of 0.125 mm, 0.25 mm, 0.5 mm, 1 mm and 2 mm according to JIS K7374 using a image clarity measuring instrument (trade name: ICM-1T) manufactured by Suga Test Instruments Co., Ltd. Five types of transmitted image clarity through the comb were measured.
1-3. First, the haze (overall haze) was measured according to JIS K-7136: 2000 using a haze meter (HM-150, manufactured by Murakami Color Research Laboratory). In addition, the concavo-convex shape is crushed and flattened by attaching a TAC film of 80 μm thickness (manufactured by FUJIFILM Corporation, TD80UL) to the surface of the optical sheet via a transparent adhesive, eliminating the influence of haze caused by the surface shape. Then, the haze was measured to determine the internal haze (Hi). Then, the surface haze (Hs) was obtained by subtracting the internal haze value from the overall haze value. The light incident surface was the substrate side.
1-4.ギラツキ
 実施例および比較例で得られた各光学シートにおいて、光学シートの凹凸層が形成されていない面と、ブラックマトリクス(ガラス厚み0.7mm)のマトリクスが形成されていないガラス面とを透明粘着剤で貼り合わせた。こうして得られた試料に対し、ブラックマトリクス側に白色面光源(HAKUBA社製、LIGHTBOX、平均輝度1000cd/m)を設置することで、疑似的にギラツキ発生させた。これを光学シート側からCCDカメラ(KP-M1、Cマウントアダプタ、接写リング;PK-11A ニコン、カメラレンズ;50mm,F1.4s NIKKOR)で撮影した。CCDカメラと光学シートの距離は250mmとし、CCDカメラのフォーカスは光学シートに合うように調節した。CCDカメラで撮影した画像をパーソナルコンピュータに取り込み、画像処理ソフト(ImagePro Plus ver.6.2;Media Cybernetics社製)で次のように解析を行った。
 まず、取り込んだ画像から200×160ピクセルの評価箇所を選び、該評価箇所において、16bitグレースケールに変換した。次に、フィルタコマンドの強調タブからローパスフィルタを選択し「3×3、回数3、強さ10」の条件でフィルタをかけた。これによりブラックマトリクスパターン由来の成分を除去した。次に、平坦化を選択し、「背景:暗い、オブジェクト幅10」の条件でシェーディング補正を行った。次に、コントラスト強調コマンドで「コントラスト:96、ブライトネス:48」としてコントラスト強調を行った。得られた画像を8ビットグレースケールに変換し、その中の150×110ピクセルについてピクセルごとの値のばらつきを標準偏差値として算出することにより、ギラツキを数値化した。この数値化したギラツキ値が小さいほど、ギラツキが少ないと言える。なお、評価は、ブラックマトリクスが画素密度350ppi相当のものと、画素密度200ppi相当のものの2つで行った。
1-4. Glare In each of the optical sheets obtained in Examples and Comparative Examples, the surface of the optical sheet on which the uneven layer is not formed and the glass surface on which the black matrix (glass thickness 0.7 mm) is not formed are transparently adhered. It stuck together with the agent. For the sample thus obtained, a white surface light source (manufactured by HAKUBA, LIGHTBOX, average luminance of 1000 cd / m 2 ) was installed on the black matrix side, thereby generating pseudo glare. This was photographed from the optical sheet side with a CCD camera (KP-M1, C mount adapter, close-up ring; PK-11A Nikon, camera lens; 50 mm, F1.4s NIKOR). The distance between the CCD camera and the optical sheet was 250 mm, and the focus of the CCD camera was adjusted to match the optical sheet. Images taken with a CCD camera were taken into a personal computer and analyzed with image processing software (ImagePro Plus ver. 6.2; manufactured by Media Cybernetics) as follows.
First, an evaluation location of 200 × 160 pixels was selected from the captured image, and converted to a 16-bit gray scale at the evaluation location. Next, the low-pass filter was selected from the enhancement tab of the filter command, and the filter was applied under the conditions of “3 × 3, number of times 3, strength 10”. As a result, components derived from the black matrix pattern were removed. Next, flattening was selected, and shading correction was performed under the condition of “background: dark, object width 10”. Next, contrast enhancement was performed with “contrast: 96, brightness: 48” using a contrast enhancement command. The obtained image was converted to an 8-bit gray scale, and the variation in the value for each pixel was calculated as a standard deviation value for 150 × 110 pixels in the image, thereby glaring was digitized. It can be said that the smaller the numerical value of the glare value, the less the glare. Note that the evaluation was performed with the black matrix having a pixel density of 350 ppi or the pixel density of 200 ppi.
