透明樹脂層付の片保護偏光フィルムの製造方法、粘着剤層付偏光フィルムの製造方法、光学積層体の製造方法Method for producing piece protective polarizing film with transparent resin layer, method for producing polarizing film with pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, method for producing optical laminate
　本発明は、透明樹脂層付の片保護偏光フィルムの製造方法に関する。また、本発明は、前記透明樹脂層付の片保護偏光フィルムの透明樹脂層上に粘着剤層が形成された粘着剤層付偏光フィルムの製造方法、当該粘着剤層付偏光フィルムを用いた光学積層体の製造方法に関する。本発明の製造方法により得られた透明樹脂層付の片保護偏光フィルム、粘着剤層付偏光フィルムは、単独で、又はこれを積層した光学積層体として、液晶表示装置（ＬＣＤ）、有機ＥＬ表示装置等の画像表示装置を形成し得る。 This invention relates to the manufacturing method of the piece protection polarizing film with a transparent resin layer. The present invention also provides a method for producing a polarizing film with a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer in which a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is formed on the transparent resin layer of the piece-protecting polarizing film with a transparent resin layer, and an optical device using the polarizing film with a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer. The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a laminate. The single protective polarizing film with a transparent resin layer and the polarizing film with a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer obtained by the production method of the present invention are used alone or as an optical laminated body obtained by laminating them, as a liquid crystal display (LCD), an organic EL display An image display device such as a device can be formed.
　時計、携帯電話、ＰＤＡ、ノートパソコン、パソコン用モニタ、ＤＶＤプレーヤー、ＴＶ等では、液晶表示装置が急激に市場展開している。液晶表示装置は、液晶のスイッチングによる偏光状態を可視化させたものであり、その表示原理から、偏光子が用いられる。 In watches, mobile phones, PDAs, notebook computers, personal computer monitors, DVD players, TVs, etc., liquid crystal display devices are expanding rapidly. The liquid crystal display device visualizes the polarization state by switching of the liquid crystal, and a polarizer is used from the display principle.
　偏光子としては、高透過率、高偏光度を有することから、例えば、ポリビニルアルコールフィルムにヨウ素を吸着させ、延伸した構造のヨウ素系偏光子が最も一般的に広く使用されている。このような偏光子は、機械的強度が極端に弱く、熱や水分により収縮してしまい偏光機能が顕著に低下してしまう短所をもっている。従って、得られた偏光子は、直ちに、接着剤が塗工された保護フィルムと接着剤を介して貼り合わせられて、偏光フィルムとして用いられている。 As the polarizer, since it has a high transmittance and a high degree of polarization, for example, an iodine-based polarizer having a stretched structure in which iodine is adsorbed on a polyvinyl alcohol film is most widely used. Such a polarizer has a disadvantage that the mechanical strength is extremely weak, and the polarizing function is remarkably lowered due to contraction due to heat and moisture. Therefore, the obtained polarizer is immediately bonded to the protective film coated with the adhesive via the adhesive and used as a polarizing film.
　一方、液晶表示装置等の画像表示装置は、薄型化がすすんでおり、偏光フィルムについても薄型化が要求されている。そのため、薄型化は偏光子についても行われている。また、薄型化は、偏光子の片側にのみ保護フィルムを設け、他の片側には保護フィルムを設けていない片保護偏光フィルムを用いることにより行うことができる。このような片保護偏光フィルムは、偏光子の両面に保護フィルムを設けた両保護偏光フィルムに比べると、保護フィルムが一枚少ないため、薄化型を図ることができる。 On the other hand, image display devices such as liquid crystal display devices are becoming thinner, and the polarizing film is also required to be thinner. Therefore, thinning is also performed for the polarizer. Moreover, thickness reduction can be performed by providing a protective film only on one side of the polarizer and using a single protective polarizing film not provided with a protective film on the other side. Such a single-protective polarizing film can be thinned because there is less protective film than both protective polarizing films provided with protective films on both sides of the polarizer.
　一方、片保護偏光フィルムは、熱衝撃による耐久性が不十分なため、偏光子側に保護層
（透明樹脂層）を設けたものが提案されている（例えば、特許文献１、２参照）。 On the other hand, since the single-protective polarizing film has insufficient durability due to thermal shock, a film provided with a protective layer (transparent resin layer) on the polarizer side has been proposed (for example, see Patent Documents 1 and 2).
　また、偏光性積層フィルムを製造する方法として、基材フィルムの幅方向の両端から内側にそれぞれ０．５ｃｍ以上の領域において樹脂溶液を塗布しない未塗布部分を設けて樹脂層を形成し、得られた積層フィルムから前記未塗布部分を切断して除去し、その後、延伸処理、染色処理を施して、偏光性積層フィルムを製造する方法が提案されている（例えば、特許文献３参照）。 In addition, as a method for producing a polarizing laminated film, a resin layer is formed by providing an uncoated portion where a resin solution is not applied in each region of 0.5 cm or more from both ends in the width direction of the base film. There has been proposed a method for producing a polarizing laminated film by cutting and removing the uncoated portion from the laminated film, and then performing a stretching treatment and a dyeing treatment (see, for example, Patent Document 3).

　特許文献１、２において、片保護偏光フィルムに保護層（透明樹脂層）が形成されているが、このような偏光フィルムはカールすることが多く、得られた偏光フィルムを搬送した際に、偏光フィルム端部に折れが発生したり、当該折れに起因して破断が発生したり、また、他部材に積層時に揉まれ等の不具合が発生する場合があった。 In Patent Documents 1 and 2, a protective layer (transparent resin layer) is formed on a single protective polarizing film. However, such a polarizing film often curls, and when the obtained polarizing film is conveyed, the polarizing layer is polarized. In some cases, the film ends may break, breakage may occur due to the breaks, and other members may have problems such as being pinched during lamination.
　特許文献３の偏光性積層フィルムの製造方法では、未塗布部分を０．５ｃｍ以上設け、当該未塗布部分を削除することにより、得られたフィルムの反り返り現象を抑制するものである。特許文献３の方法では、未塗布部分を削除する工程が必要であり、製造工程が煩雑になるものであった。 In the method for producing a polarizing laminated film of Patent Document 3, an uncoated portion is provided by 0.5 cm or more, and the uncoated portion is deleted, thereby suppressing the warping phenomenon of the obtained film. In the method of Patent Document 3, a process of deleting an uncoated part is necessary, and the manufacturing process becomes complicated.
　従って、本発明においては、カール発生を抑制することができる透明樹脂層付の片保護偏光フィルムの製造方法を提供することを目的とする。さらに、本発明は、粘着剤層付偏光フィルムの製造方法、光学積層体の製造方法を提供することを目的とする。 Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a method for producing a piece protective polarizing film with a transparent resin layer that can suppress the occurrence of curling. Furthermore, an object of this invention is to provide the manufacturing method of the polarizing film with an adhesive layer, and the manufacturing method of an optical laminated body.
