Abstract
Description
以下、本発明の第1の実施形態に係る保護フィルム、積層体、偏光板、および画像表示装置について、図面を参照しながら説明する。本明細書において、「フィルム」、「シート」等の用語は、呼称の違いのみに基づいて、互いから区別されるものではない。したがって、例えば、「フィルム」は、シートとも呼ばれるような部材も含む意味で用いられる。また、本明細書における「光透過性」とは、光を透過させる性質を意味し、例えば、全光線透過率が50%以上、好ましくは70%以上、より好ましくは80%以上、特に好ましくは90%以上であることを含む。光透過性とは、必ずしも透明である必要はなく、半透明であってもよい。図1は本実施形態に係る保護フィルムの概略構成図であり、図2(A)~図2(C)および図3(A)~図3(C)は本実施形態に係る保護フィルムの製造工程を模式的に示した図である。
図1に示される積層体10は、保護フィルム20と、保護フィルム20に積層された離型フィルム30とを備えている。
保護フィルム20は、基材を備えていない、すなわち基材レスの保護フィルムである。本明細書における「基材」とは、保護フィルムを形成するための支持体となる熱可塑性樹脂またはガラスからなるフィルムまたはシートを意味する。基材としては、例えば、トリアセチルセルロース等のセルロースアシレート基材、シクロオレフィンポリマー基材、ポリカーボネート基材、アクリル基材、ポリエチレンテレフタレート基材等のポリエステル基材、またはガラス基材が挙げられる。なお、離型フィルム30は、最終的には保護フィルム20から剥離されるものであるので、保護フィルム20の一部を構成するものではない。
コア層21は、硬化物からなる樹脂を含む層である。コア層21を形成する樹脂として、硬化物からなる樹脂を用いているのは、この樹脂の代わりに、熱可塑性樹脂のような溶剤乾燥型樹脂を用いてコア層を形成した場合には、コア層が柔らかくなりすぎてしまい、保護フィルムの鉛筆硬度が低くなってしまうからである。
コア層21に含まれる樹脂は、上記したように、硬化物からなる樹脂であるが、このような樹脂の中でも、電離放射線重合性化合物の硬化物(重合体)からなる樹脂が好ましい。電離放射線重合性化合物は、電離放射線の照射により重合反応し得る電離放射線重合性官能基を1以上有する化合物である。電離放射線重合性官能基としては、例えば、(メタ)アクリロイル基、ビニル基、アリル基等のエチレン性不飽和基が挙げられる。なお、「(メタ)アクリロイル基」とは、「アクリロイル基」および「メタクリロイル基」の両方を含む意味である。また、電離放射線重合性化合物を重合する際に照射される電離放射線としては、可視光線、紫外線、X線、電子線、α線、β線、およびγ線が挙げられる。
紫外線吸収剤は、紫外線を吸収する機能を有している。紫外線吸収剤としては、特に限定されないが、例えば、トリアジン系紫外線吸収剤、ベンゾフェノン系紫外線吸収剤、及び、ベンゾトリアゾール系紫外線吸収剤等が挙げられる。
レベリング剤とは、コア層の表面張力が不均一となることによって生じる、ハジキ、凹み、ピンホール、ユズハダ等の欠陥を防止し、表面を滑らかにする添加剤を意味する。レベリング剤は、特に限定されないが、ポリエーテル基、ポリウレタン基、エポキシ基、カルボキシル基、アクリレート基、メタクリレート基、カルビノール基又は水酸基を有する化合物等が挙げられる。上記レベリング剤は、ポリエーテル基、ポリウレタン基、エポキシ基、カルボキシル基、アクリレート基、メタクリレート基、カルビノール基又は水酸基を主鎖の末端(片末端、両末端)に有していてもよく、側鎖に有していてもよく、主鎖の末端及び側鎖に有していてもよい。レベリング剤としては、ポリエーテル基、ポリウレタン基、エポキシ基、カルボキシル基、アクリレート基、メタクリレート基、カルビノール基又は水酸基を有する化合物であれば、特に限定されず、例えば、シリコーン系、フッ素系、シリコーン/フッ素混合系、アクリル系、メタクリル系、芳香族系のレベリング剤を挙げることができる。
接着性向上層22は、接着剤との接着性を向上させるための層である。本明細書においては、「接着性向上層」とは、以下の方法によって接着剤との間の界面の剥離強度を測定したときに、剥離強度が1N以上となる層を意味するものとする。具体的には、まず、基材レスの保護フィルムが偏光板に組み込まれていない場合には、ポリビニルアルコール系接着剤(ポリビニルアルコール樹脂(製品名「PVA-117」、クラレ社製)を純水にて固形分5%に希釈したポリビニルアルコール水溶液)を介して、偏光子の一方の面に鹸化処理後の基材レスの保護フィルムを貼り付け、また偏光子の他方の面にトリアセチルセルロース基材を貼り付けて、基材レスの保護フィルムを偏光板に組み込む。そして、この偏光板を用いて、偏光板における基材レスの保護フィルム側の表面を寺岡製作所製の両面テープ「751B」により、ガラス板に、ガラス板から偏光板がはみ出すように貼り付ける。その後、ガラス板からはみ出した偏光板をチャックにて掴み、180度の角度で375mm/minの速度で引張り試験を行い、その時の接着剤と基材レスの保護フィルムにおける接着剤に接している層の界面の剥離強度を測定する。なお、ストローク量(引っ張り長さ)100mm~200mmの間を平均化した強度を剥離強度する。一方、基材レスの保護フィルムが偏光板に組み込まれている場合には、この偏光板を用いて、偏光板における基材レスの保護フィルム側の表面を寺岡製作所製の両面テープ「751B」により、ガラス板に、ガラス板から偏光板がはみ出すように貼り付ける。そして、上記と同様の手順で、剥離強度を測定する。基材レスの保護フィルムにおいて、接着剤に接している層がコア層である場合、接着剤とコア層の界面の剥離強度は、100mN以下であるので、コア層上に接着剤と接している層が存在し、かつ接着剤とこの層との剥離強度が1N以上である場合には、この層によって接着剤との接着性が向上していると判断できるので、この層は接着性向上層であると言える。
接着性向上層用組成物における電離放射線重合性化合物としては、分子内に電離放射線重合性官能基を1以上有する化合物であればよいが、分子内に電離放射線重合性官能基を2以上有する多官能電離放射線重合性化合物であることが好ましい。多官能電離放射線重合性化合物を用いることにより、接着性向上層22の耐擦傷性を向上させることができるとともに、コア層21との密着性がより確保できる。また、コア層に紫外線吸収剤を添加すると、紫外線吸収剤がコア層から接着性向上層に移り、接着性向上層の表面に析出する傾向があるが、接着性向上層用組成物に多官能電離放射線重合性化合物を用いることにより、接着性向上層における架橋密度が高くなるので、紫外線吸収剤の析出を抑制することができる。多官能電離放射線重合性化合物は、分子内に電離放射線重合性官能基を2以上有することが好ましく、3以上有することがより好ましい。
シランカップリング剤は、反応性官能基および加水分解性基を有する有機ケイ素化合物である。反応性官能基は、多官能電離放射線重合性化合物等と反応し得る基であり、反応性官能基としては、ビニル基、エポキシ基、スチリル基、(メタ)アクリロイル基、アミノ基、ウレイド基、チオール基、スルフィド基およびイソシアネート基からなる群から選択される1種以上の官能基が挙げられる。これらの中でも、コア層21との密着性の観点から、(メタ)アクリロイル基が好ましい。
本明細書における「光透過性機能層」とは、光透過性を有し、かつ保護フィルムにおいて、何らかの機能を発揮することを意図された層である。具体的には、光透過性機能層は、例えば、ハードコート性、または反射防止性等の機能を発揮するための層が挙げられる。光透過性機能層は、単層のみならず、2層以上積層されたものであってもよい。光透過性機能層が2層以上積層されたものである場合、それぞれの層が有する機能は同じであってもよいが、異なっていてもよい。本実施形態においては、光透過性機能層23が、ハードコート性を有する層、すなわちハードコート層である場合について説明する。
光透過性機能層23に含まれる樹脂は、上記したように電離放射線重合性化合物の硬化物からなるものが好ましいが、電離放射線重合性化合物としては、電離放射線重合性モノマー、電離放射線重合性オリゴマー、または電離放射線重合性プレポリマーが挙げられ、これらを適宜調整して用いることができる。電離放射線重合性化合物としては、電離放射線重合性モノマーと、電離放射線重合性オリゴマーまたは電離放射線重合性プレポリマーとの組み合わせが好ましい。
電離放射線重合性モノマーとしては、電離放射線重合性官能基を2つ(すなわち、2官能)以上有する多官能モノマーが好ましい。電離放射線重合性モノマーとしては、アルキレンオキサイド変性、ウレタン変性、エポキシ変性、またはアルコキシ変性等の変性基を導入した電離放射線重合性モノマーが挙げられる。これらの中でも、離型フィルムからの剥離性が良く、またタック性を有し、かつ機械的強度の高い保護フィルムを得る観点から、アルキレンオキサイド変性(メタ)アクリレートが好ましい。アルキレンオキサイドとしては、メチレンオキサイド、エチレンオキサイド、プロピレンオキサイド、ブチレンオキサイド等が挙げられる。
電離放射線重合性オリゴマーとしては、ウレタン(メタ)アクリレート、ポリエステル(メタ)アクリレート、エポキシ(メタ)アクリレート、メラミン(メタ)アクリレート、ポリフルオロアルキル(メタ)アクリレート、シリコーン(メタ)アクリレート等のオリゴマー等が挙げられる。
電離放射線重合性プレポリマーとしては10000以上80000以下が好ましく、10000以上40000以下がより好ましい。重量平均分子量が80000を超える場合は、粘度が高いため塗工適性が低下してしまい、得られる保護フィルムの外観が悪化するおそれがある。電離放射線重合性プレポリマーとしては、ウレタン(メタ)アクリレート、ポリエステル(メタ)アクリレート、エポキシ(メタ)アクリレート、メラミン(メタ)アクリレート、ポリフルオロアルキル(メタ)アクリレート、シリコーン(メタ)アクリレート等のプレポリマー等が挙げられる。これらの中でもコア層との層間密着性を高める観点から、ウレタンアクリレートプレポリマーが好ましい。
無機粒子は、光透過性機能層23の機械的強度や鉛筆強度を向上させるための成分であり、無機粒子としては、例えば、シリカ(SiO2)粒子、アルミナ粒子、チタニア粒子、酸化スズ粒子、アンチモンドープ酸化スズ(略称:ATO)粒子、酸化亜鉛粒子等の無機酸化物粒子が挙げられる。これらの中でも、硬度をより高める観点からシリカ粒子が好ましく、シリカ粒子の中でも、異形シリカ粒子がより好ましい。球形シリカ粒子を用いる場合、球形シリカ粒子の粒子径が小さいほど、光透過性機能層の硬度が高くなる。これに対し、異形シリカ粒子は、市販されている最も小さい粒子径の球形シリカ粒子ほど小さくなくとも、この球形シリカと同等の硬度を達成することができる。
光透過性機能層23に含まれるレベリング剤としては、コア層21の欄で記載したレベリング剤と同様であるので、ここでは説明を省略するものとする。レベリング剤の含有量は、光透過性機能層23を形成するための硬化性組成物(以下、この組成物を「機能層用組成物」と称する。)中の樹脂固形分100質量部に対して、0.01質量部以上5質量部以下であることが好ましい。レベリング剤の含有量をこの範囲内にすることにより、より平坦性に優れた光透過性機能層23の表面23Bを得ることができる。
離型フィルム30は、保護フィルム20から剥離することによって、保護フィルム20を後述する偏光板に転写するためのものである。離型フィルム30は、光透過性であってもよいが、偏光板に保護フィルム20を転写した後に、離型フィルム30は剥離されるので、光透過性でなくともよい。
積層体10および保護フィルム20は、例えば、以下のようにして作製することができる。まず、離型フィルム30の一方の面30Aに光透過性機能層用組成物を塗布し、乾燥させて、図2(A)に示されるように光透過性機能層用組成物の塗膜24を形成する。
溶剤としては、例えば、アルコール類(メタノール、エタノール、プロパノール、イソプロパノール、n-ブタノール、s-ブタノール、t-ブタノール、ベンジルアルコール、PGME、エチレングリコール等)、ケトン類(アセトン、メチルエチルケトン(MEK)、シクロヘキサノン、メチルイソブチルケトン、ジアセトンアルコール、シクロヘプタノン、ジエチルケトン等)、エーテル類(1,4-ジオキサン、ジオキソラン、ジイソプロピルエーテルジオキサン、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(蟻酸メチル、酢酸メチル、酢酸エチル、酢酸プロピル、酢酸ブチル、乳酸エチル等)、セロソルブ類(メチルセロソルブ、エチルセロソルブ、ブチルセロソルブ等)、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)、またはこれらの混合物が挙げられる。
重合開始剤は、光または熱により分解されて、ラジカルを発生させて硬化性樹脂前駆体の重合(架橋)を開始または進行させる成分である。光透過性機能層用組成物に用いられる重合開始剤は、光重合開始剤(例えば、光ラジカル重合開始剤、光カチオン重合開始剤、光アニオン重合開始剤)が挙げられる。
保護フィルム20は、例えば、偏光板に組み込んで使用することができる。図4は本実施形態に係る保護フィルムを組み込んだ偏光板の概略構成図である。図4に示されるように偏光板40は、偏光子41と、偏光子41の一方の面に接着剤42を介して貼り合わせられた基材レスの保護フィルム20と、偏光子41の他方の面に接着剤43を介して貼り合わせられた保護フィルム44とを備えている。なお、偏光板40は、一方の保護フィルムが基材レスの保護フィルム20となっているが、両方の保護フィルムが基材レスの保護フィルム20であってもよい。
偏光子41は、ヨウ素または二色性色素により染色し、一軸延伸させたポリビニルアルコール系樹脂フィルムが挙げられる。ポリビニルアルコール系樹脂としては、ポリ酢酸ビニル系樹脂を鹸化したものを用いることができる。ポリ酢酸ビニル系樹脂としては、酢酸ビニルの単独重合体であるポリ酢酸ビニルの他、酢酸ビニルとそれに共重合可能な他の単量体との共重合体等が挙げられる。酢酸ビニルに共重合可能な他の単量体としては、例えば、不飽和カルボン酸類、オレフィン類、ビニルエーテル類、不飽和スルホン酸類、アンモニウム基を有するアクリルアミド類等が挙げられる。
偏光子41と保護フィルム20、および偏光子41と保護フィルム44を貼り合わせるための接着剤としては、水系接着剤や電離放射線硬化性接着剤が挙げられる。本明細書における「水系接着剤」とは、水溶液、あるいは水分散エマルション等の形で液状化して塗工し、水を乾燥させて固化し接着する形態の接着剤を意味する。水系接着剤としては、ポリビニルアルコール系接着剤、エポキシ系接着剤、アクリル系接着剤等が挙げられる。これらの中でも、一般的に、偏光子の貼り合わせには、ポリビニルアルコール系接着剤が用いられる。また、「電離放射線硬化性接着剤」とは、電離放射線重合性化合物を含む接着組成物に電離放射線を照射して接着する形態の接着剤を意味する。水系接着剤や電離放射線硬化性接着剤としては、従来から知られている水系接着剤や電離放射線硬化性接着剤を用いることが可能である。
保護フィルム44は偏光子41を保護するためのフィルムである。保護フィルム44は保護フィルム20を形成するための支持体となるものではないので、本明細書における「基材」には該当しない。
偏光板40は、例えば、以下のようにして作製することができる。図5(A)~図5(C)は本実施形態に係る偏光板の製造工程を模式的に示した図である。まず、図5(A)に示されるように、積層体10の接着性向上層22に接着剤42が接するように、積層体10と偏光子41の一方の面とを接着剤42を介して積層する。一方で、偏光子41の他方の面と保護フィルム44とを接着剤43を介して積層する。ここで、積層体10と偏光子41の一方の面とを接着剤42を介して積層する前に、積層体10に鹸化処理を施しておくのが好ましい。コア層21や光透過性機能層23にレベリング剤を添加すると、レベリング剤が移動して、接着性向上層22の表面22A付近に存在し、接着剤42との接着性を低下させるおそれがあるが、積層体10に鹸化処理を施すと、接着性向上層22の表面22A付近に存在するレベリング剤を除去することができるので、接着性をより向上させることができる。
保護フィルム20や偏光板40は、例えば、画像表示装置に組み込んで使用することが可能である。図6は、本実施形態に係る画像表示装置の概略構成図である。図6に示されるように、画像表示装置50は、主に、画像を表示するための表示パネル60と、表示パネル60よりも観察者側に配置されたタッチパネル70と、表示パネル60とタッチパネル70との間に介在した接着剤80とを備えている。本実施形態においては、表示パネル60が有機発光ダイオードを用いた表示パネルであるので、画像表示装置50がバックライト装置を備えていないが、表示パネル(表示素子)の種類によってはバックライト装置を備えていなくともよい。
表示パネル60は、図6に示されるように、表示素子61と、表示素子61よりも観察者側に配置された偏光板40と、表示素子61と偏光板40との間に介在した接着剤62とを備えている。
タッチパネル70は、センサ部90と、センサ部90より観察者側に配置されたカバーガラス100と、センサ部90とカバーガラス100とを固定するための透明粘着層101とを備えている。タッチパネル70は、センサ部90を備えていればよく、カバーガラス100、透明粘着層101を備えていなくともよい。なお、本実施形態のタッチパネルは、表示素子61上に配置されているが(オンセル構造)、表示素子61中にタッチパネルが存在していてもよい(インセル構造)。
センサ部90は、タッチパネル70のセンサとして機能する部分である。センサ部90としては、特に限定されないが、例えば、投影型静電容量方式に用いられるセンサが挙げられる。図6に示されるセンサ部90は、パターニングされた導電層92が設けられた基材フィルム91と、パターニングされた導電層93が設けられた基材フィルム91とを、透明粘着層94を介して積層した構造となっている。
図6に示される基材フィルム91は、光透過性基材95と、光透過性基材95の一方の面上に設けられたハードコート層96と、ハードコート層96上に設けられた高屈折率層97と、高屈折率層97上に設けられた低屈折率層98と、光透過性基材95の他方の面上に積層されたハードコート層99とを備えている。
導電層92、93の形状は特に限定されないが、例えば、正方形状やストライプ状が挙げられる。導電層92、93は取出パターン(図示せず)を介して端子部(図示せず)に接続されている。導電層92、93は、透明導電材料から構成された例を示しているが、導電層はメッシュ状の導線から構成することが可能である。透明導電材料としては、スズドープ酸化インジウム(ITO)、アンチモンドープ酸化スズ(ATO)、酸化亜鉛、酸化インジウム(In2O3)、アルミニウムドープ酸化亜鉛(AZO)、ガリウムドープ酸化亜鉛(GZO)、酸化スズ、酸化亜鉛-酸化スズ系、酸化インジウム-酸化スズ系、酸化亜鉛-酸化インジウム-酸化マグネシウム系などの金属酸化物等が挙げられる。導線の材料としては、銀、銅、アルミニウム、またはこれらの合金等の遮光性のある金属材料が挙げられる。
接着剤80は、表示パネル60とタッチパネル70との間に介在し、かつ表示パネル60とタッチパネル70の両方に接着されている。これにより、表示パネル60とタッチパネル70とが固定されている。接着剤62、80は、電離放射線重合性化合物を含む硬化性接着組成物(例えば、OCR:optically clear resin)の硬化物から構成されている。
以下、本発明の第2の実施形態に係る光学フィルム、積層体、偏光板、および画像表示装置について、図面を参照しながら説明する。図7は本実施形態に係る光学フィルムの概略構成図であり、図8(A)~図8(C)および図9(A)~図9(C)は本実施形態に係る光学フィルムの製造工程を模式的に示した図である。
図7に示される積層体110は、光学フィルム120と、光学フィルム120に積層された離型フィルム130とを備えている。
光学フィルム120は、基材を備えていない、すなわち基材レスの光学フィルムである。なお、離型フィルム130は、最終的には光学フィルム120から剥離されるものであるので、光学フィルム120の一部を構成するものではない。
コア層121は、硬化物からなるバインダ樹脂と、バインダ樹脂中に分散された紫外線吸収剤(UVA)とを含んでいる。コア層121の添加剤や膜厚は、コア層21と同様であるので、ここでは説明を省略するものとする。
バインダ樹脂は、上記したように、硬化物からなる樹脂である。樹脂は、第1の実施形態の欄で説明したコア層21を構成する樹脂と同様であるので、ここでは説明を省略するものとする。
紫外線吸収剤は、第1の実施形態の欄で説明した紫外線吸収剤と同様であるので、ここでは説明を省略するものとする。
レベリング剤は、第1の実施形態の欄で説明したレベリング剤と同様であるので、ここでは説明を省略するものとする。
析出抑制層122は、紫外線吸収剤の析出を抑制するための層である。析出抑制層122は、紫外線吸収剤の析出を抑制できる層であれば、特に限定されない。ここで、析出抑制層に該当するか否かは、光学フィルムにおいて、光学フィルムを80℃、相対湿度90%の環境下で24時間放置する耐湿熱性試験を行い、耐湿熱性試験前の光学フィルムのヘイズ値に対する耐湿熱性試験後の光学フィルムのヘイズ値の比が10以下であるか否かによって判断することができる。すなわち、コア層上に何らかの層が存在する場合において、耐湿熱性試験前の光学フィルムのヘイズ値に対する耐湿熱性試験後の光学フィムルのヘイズ値の比が10以下である場合には、コア層上の何らかの層は析出抑制層に該当するものとする。ヘイズ値は、JIS K7136:2000に準拠して、ヘイズメーター(製品名「HM-150」、村上色彩技術研究所製)を用いて、求めることができる。ヘイズ値は、3回測定して得られた値の算術平均値とする。耐湿熱性試験前の光学フィルム120のヘイズ値に対する耐湿熱性試験後の光学フィルム120のヘイズ値の比は5以下であることが好ましく、3以下であることがより好ましい。
樹脂は、上記したように多官能電離放射線重合性化合物の硬化物からなるものであることが好ましいが、「多官能電離放射線重合性化合物」とは、分子内に電離放射線重合性官能基を2以上有する化合物である。多官能電離放射線重合性化合物としては、多官能電離放射線重合性モノマー、多官能電離放射線重合性オリゴマー、多官能電離放射線重合性プレポリマー、またはこれらの混合物が挙げられる。多官能電離放射線重合性化合物は、分子内に電離放射線重合性官能基を3以上有することがより好ましい。多官能電離放射線重合性モノマーの重量平均分子量は、1000未満であることが好ましく、多官能電離放射線重合性オリゴマーまたは多官能電離放射線重合性プレポリマーの重量平均分子量は、1000以上20000以下であることが好ましい。
シランカップリング剤は、第1の実施形態の欄で説明したシランカップリング剤と同様であるので、ここでは説明を省略するものとする。
光透過性機能層123におけるコア層121側の面123Aとは反対側の面123B(以下、この面を「光透過性機能層の表面」と称する。)は、光学フィルム120の他方の表面120Bをなしている。光透過性機能層123の表面123Bの1μm角(1μm×1μm)および5μm角(5μm×5μm)の領域内おいては、算術平均粗さ(Ra)がそれぞれ0.5nm以上1.5nm以下であり、最大高さ(Rz)がそれぞれ4nm以上20nm以下であり、最大山高さ(Rp)がそれぞれ2nm以上15nm以下となっていることが好ましい。なお、上記以外も、光透過性機能層123は、第1の実施形態の欄で説明した光透過性機能層23と同様となっているので、ここでは説明を省略するものとする。
離型フィルム130は、光学フィルム120から剥離することによって、光学フィルム120を後述する偏光板に転写するためのものである。離型フィルム130は、離型フィルム30と同様であるので、ここでは説明を省略するものとする。
積層体110および光学フィルム120は、例えば、以下のようにして作製することができる。まず、離型フィルム130の一方の面130Aに光透過性機能層用組成物を塗布し、乾燥させて、図8(A)に示されるように光透過性機能層用組成物の塗膜124を形成する。光透過性機能層用組成物は、第1の実施形態の欄で説明した光透過性機能層用組成物と同様であるので、ここでは説明を省略するものとする。
光学フィルム120は、例えば、偏光板に組み込んで使用することができる。図10は本実施形態に係る光学フィルムを組み込んだ偏光板の概略構成図である。図10に示されるように偏光板140は、偏光子141と、偏光子141の一方の面に接着剤142を介して貼り合わせられた光学フィルム120と、偏光子141の他方の面に接着剤143を介して貼り合わせられた保護フィルム144とを備えている。
偏光子141は、第1の実施形態の欄で説明した偏光子41と同様であるので、ここでは説明を省略するものとする。
偏光子141と光学フィルム120、および偏光子141と保護フィルム144を貼り合わせるための接着剤142、143としては、水系接着剤や電離放射線硬化性接着剤が挙げられる。
保護フィルム144は、第1の実施形態の欄で説明した保護フィルム44と同様であるので、ここでは説明を省略するものとする。
偏光板140は、例えば、以下のようにして作製することができる。図11(A)~図11(C)は本実施形態に係る偏光板の製造工程を模式的に示した図である。まず、図11(A)に示されるように、積層体110の析出抑制層122に接着剤142が接するように、積層体110と偏光子141の一方の面とを接着剤142を介して積層する。一方で、偏光子141の他方の面と保護フィルム144とを接着剤143を介して積層する。ここで、積層体110と偏光子141の一方の面とを接着剤142を介して積層する前に、積層体110に鹸化処理を施しておくのが好ましい。コア層121や光透過性機能層123にレベリング剤を添加すると、レベリング剤が移動して、析出抑制層122の表面122A付近に存在し、接着剤142との接着性を低下させるおそれがあるが、積層体110に鹸化処理を施すと、析出抑制層122の表面122A付近に存在するレベリング剤を除去することができるので、接着性をより向上させることができる。
光学フィルム120や偏光板140は、例えば、画像表示装置に組み込んで使用することが可能である。図12は、本実施形態に係る画像表示装置の概略構成図である。図12に示されるように、画像表示装置150は、主に、画像を表示するための表示パネル160と、表示パネル160よりも観察者側に配置されたタッチパネル70と、表示パネル160とタッチパネル70との間に介在した接着剤80とを備えている。本実施形態においては、表示パネル160が有機発光ダイオードを用いた表示パネルであるので、画像表示装置50がバックライト装置を備えていないが、表示パネル(表示素子)の種類によってはバックライト装置を備えていなくともよい。なお、図12において、図6と同じ符号が付されている部材は、図6に示されている部材と同じものであるので、説明を省略するものとする。
表示パネル160は、図12に示されるように、表示素子61と、表示素子61よりも観察者側に配置された偏光板140と、表示素子61と偏光板140との間に介在した接着剤62とを備えている。

実施例A1~A5および比較例A1~A6に係る保護フィルムならびに実施例B1~B4および比較例B1~B9に係る光学フィルムにおいて、80℃、相対湿度90%の環境下で24時間放置する耐湿熱性試験を行い、保護フィルムおよび光学フィルムにおける耐湿熱性試験の前後のヘイズ値(全ヘイズ値)をそれぞれ測定した。ヘイズ値は、JIS K7136:2000に準拠して、ヘイズメーター(製品名「HM-150」、村上色彩技術研究所製)を用いて、求めた。また、実施例B1~B4および比較例B1~B9に係る光学フィルムにおいては、耐湿熱性試験前の光学フィルムのヘイズ値に対する耐湿熱性試験後の光学フィルムのヘイズ値の比を求めた。なお、耐熱性試験は保護フィルムおよび光学フィルムに離型フィルムが付いた積層体の状態で行われ、ヘイズ測定の際には、積層体から離型フィルムを剥離し、保護フィルム単体および光学フィルム単体とした状態でヘイズを測定した。また、比較例A7に係る保護フィルムにおいては、基材レスの保護フィルムを用いていないので、ヘイズ測定の対象外とした。ヘイズ値は、3回測定して得られた値の算術平均値とした。
実施例A1~A5、B1~B4及び比較例A1~A7、B9で得られた偏光板におけるハードコート層の表面ならびに比較例B8に係る偏光板におけるセルローストリアセテートフィルムの表面において、原子間力顕微鏡(製品名「WET-9400」、島津製作所製)を用いて測定エリア1μm角および5μm角でそれぞれ表面形状を観察し、観察した表面形状のデータからRa、Rz、Rpを測定した。Ra、RzおよびRpの定義はJIS B0601:2001に従うものとする。具体的には、まず、各偏光板において、少なくとも目視で異常のない箇所(大きい異物や擦りキズ等がない箇所)をランダムに3箇所選び出し、5mm角にカットして、それぞれ、3つのサンプルを得た。一方で、直径15mmおよび厚み1mmの平坦な円形の金属板を複数枚用意し、それぞれの金属板に、日新EM株式会社製のカーボン両面テープを貼り付けた。そのテープ上に1つのサンプルを、サンプルの表面(光学フィルムや偏光フィルムの表面)が上側となるようにそれぞれ貼り付けた。そして、テープとサンプルの接着を確実なものとするために、サンプル付き金属板をデシケーターの中で一晩放置した。一晩放置後、サンプル付き金属板を原子間力顕微鏡(製品名「WET-9400」、島津製作所製)の測定台の上に磁石で固定し、タッピングモードにて、測定エリア1μm角および5μm角で、原子間力顕微鏡により表面形状を観察した。そして、観察したデータから原子間力顕微鏡に内蔵されている面解析ソフトを用いて、Ra、Rz、Rpを算出した。なお、面解析時における縦のスケールは20nmとした。観察は室温で行い、カンチレバーとしてはNanoWorld社製のNCHR-20を使用した。また、観察に際しては、1つのサンプルに対して、ランダムに5箇所を選び、3サンプル×5箇所(計15点)について、それぞれ表面形状を観察した。得られた15点のデータ全てにおいて、原子間力顕微鏡に内蔵の面解析ソフトを用いてRa、Rz、Rpを算出し、15点の算術平均値をそれぞれのサンプルのRa、Rz、Rpとした。
実施例A1~A5で得られた鹸化処理後の保護フィルムにおける接着性向上層の表面、比較例A1~A4で得られた鹸化処理後の保護フィルムにおけるコア層の表面、比較例A5、A6で得られた鹸化処理後の保護フィルムにおけるコート層の表面、実施例B1~B4に係る光学フィルムにおける鹸化処理後の析出抑制層の表面、比較例B1~B3、B8、B9に係る光学フィルムにおける鹸化処理後のコア層の表面において、JIS R3257:1999に記載の静滴法に従って25℃での水に対する接触角を、顕微鏡式接触角計(製品名「CA-QIシリーズ」、協和界面科学株式会社製)を用いて、測定した。水に対する接触角は、3回測定して得られた値の算術平均値とした。なお、比較例A7に係る偏光板においては、基材レスの保護フィルムを用いていないので、接触角測定の対象外とした。
実施例A1~A5、B1~B4及び比較例A1~A7、B1~B7、B9で得られた偏光板におけるハードコート層の表面ならびに比較例B8に係る偏光板のセルローストリアセテートフィルムにおいて、JIS R3257:1999に記載の静滴法に従って25℃での水に対する接触角を、顕微鏡式接触角計(製品名「CA-QIシリーズ」、協和界面科学株式会社製)を用いて、測定した。水に対する接触角は、3回測定して得られた値の算術平均値とした。
実施例A1~A5及び比較例A1~A7で得られた偏光板におけるハードコート層の表面を、原子間力顕微鏡(製品名「WET-9400」、島津製作所製)を用いて観察し、評価した。評価基準は以下の通りとした。
○:表面が均一かつ平坦であった。
×:表面において多少凹凸が確認され、または表面において凹凸が際立っていた。
実施例A1~A5および比較例A1~A7で得られた偏光板におけるハードコート層の表面の鉛筆硬度を測定した。具体的には、偏光板を温度25℃、相対湿度60%の条件で2時間調湿した後、JIS S6006が規定する試験用鉛筆を用いて、偏光板におけるハードコート層の表面においてJIS K5600-5-4:1999に規定する鉛筆硬度試験を行なった。鉛筆硬度の測定の際には、鉛筆に750gの荷重をかけながら、鉛筆を速度1mm/秒で移動させた。鉛筆硬度は、鉛筆硬度試験においてハードコート層の表面に傷が付かなかった最も高い硬度とした。なお、鉛筆硬度の測定の際には、硬度が異なる鉛筆を複数本用いて行うが、鉛筆1本につき5回鉛筆硬度試験を行い、5回のうち4回以上蛍光灯下で偏光板の表面を透過観察した際に偏光板の表面に傷が視認されなかった場合には、この硬度の鉛筆においては偏光板の表面に傷が付かなかったと判断した。
