比較例1の偏光フィルムの作成において、薄型偏光フィルムを作製した後、さらに、薄型偏光フィルムの偏光子面にポリビニルアルコール系接着剤にて厚さ40μmの位相差フィルム(日本ゼオン社製のゼオノアフィルム,正面位相差52nm,厚み位相差125nm)を貼りつけて、位相差フィルム付偏光フィルムを作製した。
次いで、比較例1と同様の粘着剤組成物を用いて、比較例1と同様にして、位相差フィルム付偏光フィルムの位相差フィルム側に粘着剤層を形成して、粘着剤層付(位相差フィルム付)偏光フィルムを作製した。
Samsung社製の液晶TV(UN48JU6350F)から液晶パネル(VAモードの液晶セルを含む液晶パネル)を取出し、さらに、液晶セルから視認側の粘着剤層付偏光フィルムを取り除いた。前記粘着剤層付偏光フィルムを取り除いた液晶セルの部分へ、上記で作製した粘着剤層付(位相差フィルム付)偏光フィルムの粘着剤層からセパレータを剥離した後、当該粘着剤層付(位相差フィルム付)偏光フィルムの粘着剤層を貼りつけて、VAモードの液晶パネルを作製した。
参考比較例1において、粘着剤組成物として、アクリル系ポリマー溶液の固形分100部に対して、さらに、ポルフィリン系色素(山本化成社製の商品名PD-320:波長595nmに極大吸収波長を有する)0.25部を配合したものを用いたこと以外は参考比較例1と同様に粘着剤層付(位相差フィルム付)偏光フィルムを作製し、さらに当該粘着剤層付(位相差フィルム付)偏光フィルムを用いてVAモードの液晶パネルを作製した。
各例で用いた粘着剤組成物を、全光線透過率93.3%、ヘイズ0.1%の無アルカリガラスの片面に、アプリケータで均一に塗工した後、155℃の空気循環式恒温オーブンで2分間乾燥することにより行い、厚さ20μmの粘着剤層を形成したものを、ヘイズメーター(村上色彩技術研究所製,MH-150)により、ヘイズを測定した。ヘイズメーターによる測定にあたり、粘着剤層側が光源側になるように配置した。ヘイズ値は、無アルカリガラスのヘイズ値が0.1%であるため、測定値から0.1%を引いた値をヘイズ値とした。
各例で作製した液晶パネルを、元の液晶TVに戻した後、暗室において、液晶TVの黒表示時および白表示時の正面輝度を、色彩輝度計((株)トプコンテクノハウス製のSR-UL1)を用いて測定した。(白表示時の輝度/黒表示時の輝度)からコントラストを求めた。表1には、色素を有していない粘着剤層を用いた場合(比較例1、参考比較例1)のコントラストを100%とした場合の、コントラスの指標(%)についても示す。
各例で作製した液晶パネルについて、コニカミノルタ製の商品名「CM-2600d」を用いて、D65光源にて、正反射を含む(SCI)方式にて測定した。測定温度は23℃とした。繰り返し回数2回の平均値を測定値とした。
