本発明に係る活性エネルギー線硬化型形成材は、前記ラジカル重合性化合物に係る硬化性成分に加えて、(メタ)アクリルモノマーを重合してなるアクリル系オリゴマーを含有することができる。活性エネルギー線硬化型形成材中にアクリル系オリゴマーを含有することで、前記補強膜に活性エネルギー線を照射・硬化させる際の硬化収縮を低減し、補強膜と、偏光子との界面応力を低減することができる。硬化収縮を十分に抑制するためには、硬化性成分の全量100重量部に対して、アクリル系オリゴマーの含有量は、20重量部以下であることが好ましく、15重量部以下であることがより好ましい。形成材中のアクリル系オリゴマーの含有量が多すぎると、該形成材に活性エネルギー線を照射した際の反応速度の低下が激しく、硬化不良となる場合がある。一方、硬化性成分の全量100重量部に対して、アクリル系オリゴマーを3重量部以上含有することが好ましく、5重量部以上含有することがより好ましい。 <Acrylic oligomer>

In order to sufficiently suppress the curing shrinkage, the content of the acrylic oligomer is preferably 20 parts by weight or less and more preferably 15 parts by weight or less with respect to 100 parts by weight of the total amount of the curable component. preferable. When the content of the acrylic oligomer in the forming material is too large, the reaction rate when the forming material is irradiated with active energy rays is drastically reduced, which may result in poor curing. On the other hand, the acrylic oligomer is preferably contained in an amount of 3 parts by weight or more, more preferably 5 parts by weight or more, based on 100 parts by weight of the total amount of the curable component.
上記活性エネルギー線硬化型形成材において、光酸発生剤を含有することができる。上記活性エネルギー線硬化型形成材に、光酸発生剤を含有する場合、光酸発生剤を含有しない場合に比べて、補強膜の耐水性および耐久性を飛躍的に向上することができる。光酸発生剤は、下記一般式(3)で表すことができる。 <Photo acid generator>
The active energy ray-curable forming material may contain a photoacid generator. When the active energy ray-curable forming material contains a photoacid generator, the water resistance and durability of the reinforcing film can be dramatically improved as compared with a case where no photoacid generator is contained. The photoacid generator can be represented by the following general formula (3).
前記硬化型形成材は、活性エネルギー線硬化型形成材または熱硬化型形成材として用いられる。活性エネルギー線硬化型形成材では、電子線硬化型、紫外線硬化型、可視光線硬化型の態様で用いることができる。 <Curing of forming material>
The curable forming material is used as an active energy ray curable forming material or a thermosetting forming material. The active energy ray curable forming material can be used in an electron beam curable type, an ultraviolet curable type, or a visible light curable type.
活性エネルギー線硬化型形成材では、偏光子に活性エネルギー線硬化型形成材を塗工した後、活性エネルギー線(電子線、紫外線、可視光線など)を照射し、活性エネルギー線硬化型形成材を硬化して補強膜を形成する。活性エネルギー線(電子線、紫外線、可視光線など)の照射方向は、任意の適切な方向から照射することができる。好ましくは、補強膜側から照射する。 ≪Active energy ray curing type≫
In the active energy ray curable forming material, after applying the active energy ray curable forming material to the polarizer, the active energy ray (electron beam, ultraviolet ray, visible light, etc.) is irradiated, and the active energy ray curable forming material is applied. Curing to form a reinforcing film. The irradiation direction of active energy rays (electron beam, ultraviolet ray, visible light, etc.) can be irradiated from any appropriate direction. Preferably, irradiation is performed from the reinforcing film side.
電子線硬化型において、電子線の照射条件は、上記活性エネルギー線硬化型形成材を硬化しうる条件であれば、任意の適切な条件を採用できる。例えば、電子線照射は、加速電圧が好ましくは5kV~300kVであり、さらに好ましくは10kV~250kVである。加速電圧が5kV未満の場合、電子線が補強膜最深部まで届かず硬化不足となるおそれがあり、加速電圧が300kVを超えると、試料を通る浸透力が強すぎて、偏光子にダメージを与えるおそれがある。照射線量としては、5~100kGy、さらに好ましくは10~75kGyである。照射線量が5kGy未満の場合は、接着剤が硬化不足となり、100kGyを超えると、偏光子にダメージを与え、機械的強度の低下や黄変を生じ、所定の光学特性を得ることができない。 ≪Electron beam curing type≫
In the electron beam curable type, any appropriate condition can be adopted as the electron beam irradiation condition as long as the active energy ray curable forming material can be cured. For example, in the electron beam irradiation, the acceleration voltage is preferably 5 kV to 300 kV, and more preferably 10 kV to 250 kV. If the acceleration voltage is less than 5 kV, the electron beam may not reach the deepest part of the reinforcing film and may be insufficiently cured. If the acceleration voltage exceeds 300 kV, the penetrating force through the sample is too strong and damages the polarizer. There is a fear. The irradiation dose is 5 to 100 kGy, more preferably 10 to 75 kGy. When the irradiation dose is less than 5 kGy, the adhesive is insufficiently cured, and when it exceeds 100 kGy, the polarizer is damaged, resulting in a decrease in mechanical strength and yellowing, and the predetermined optical characteristics cannot be obtained.
活性エネルギー線として、波長範囲380nm~450nmの可視光線を含むもの、特には波長範囲380nm~450nmの可視光線の照射量が最も多い活性エネルギー線を使用することが好ましい。活性エネルギー線としては、ガリウム封入メタルハライドランプ、波長範囲380~440nmを発光するLED光源が好ましい。あるいは、低圧水銀灯、中圧水銀灯、高圧水銀灯、超高圧水銀灯、白熱電球、キセノンランプ、ハロゲンランプ、カーボンアーク灯、メタルハライドランプ、蛍光灯、タングステンランプ、ガリウムランプ、エキシマレーザーまたは太陽光などの紫外線と可視光線を含む光源を使用することができ、バンドパスフィルターを用いて380nmより短波長の紫外線を遮断して用いることもできる。 ≪Ultraviolet curing type, visible light curing type≫
It is preferable to use an active energy ray containing visible light having a wavelength range of 380 nm to 450 nm, particularly an active energy ray having the largest irradiation amount of visible light having a wavelength range of 380 nm to 450 nm. As the active energy ray, a gallium-filled metal halide lamp and an LED light source that emits light in the wavelength range of 380 to 440 nm are preferable. Or low pressure mercury lamp, medium pressure mercury lamp, high pressure mercury lamp, ultra high pressure mercury lamp, incandescent lamp, xenon lamp, halogen lamp, carbon arc lamp, metal halide lamp, fluorescent lamp, tungsten lamp, gallium lamp, excimer laser or sunlight A light source including visible light can be used, and ultraviolet light having a wavelength shorter than 380 nm can be blocked using a band pass filter.
一方、熱硬化型形成材では、偏光子に塗布した後に、加熱することにより、熱重合開始剤により重合を開始して、硬化物層(補強膜)を形成する。加熱温度は、熱重合開始剤に応じて設定されるが、60~200℃程度、好ましくは80~150℃である。 ≪Thermosetting type≫
On the other hand, in a thermosetting type forming material, after applying to a polarizer, by heating, polymerization is started by a thermal polymerization initiator to form a cured product layer (reinforcing film). The heating temperature is set according to the thermal polymerization initiator, but is about 60 to 200 ° C., preferably 80 to 150 ° C.
