Description

光学フィルム、剥離方法及び光学表示パネルの製造方法Optical film, peeling method, and manufacturing method of optical display panel
 本発明は、第1剥離フィルム、機能フィルムおよび第2剥離フィルムがこの順に積層されている枚葉状のフィルム積層体に関する。 The present invention relates to a sheet-like film laminate in which a first release film, a functional film, and a second release film are laminated in this order.
 また本発明は、前記フィルム積層体に係る第1剥離フィルムの剥離方法に関する。さらには、本発明は前記フィルム積層体を用いる光学表示パネルの製造方法に関する。 Moreover, this invention relates to the peeling method of the 1st peeling film which concerns on the said film laminated body. Furthermore, this invention relates to the manufacturing method of the optical display panel using the said film laminated body.
 機能フィルムは、各種用途に供されるまで、その両面を剥離フィルムで保護される場合がある。例えば、偏光フィルム等の光学フィルムは、その片面に液晶セル等の光学セルに貼着するための粘着剤層が設けられた粘着剤層付光学フィルムとして用いられる場合には、一般的に、前記粘着剤層には貼り合わせに適用されるまで剥離フィルム(離型フィルム)が仮着されている。一方、光学フィルムの他の片面には、他の剥離フィルム(表面保護フィルム)が仮着されている。このような、離型フィルムおよび表面保護フィルムを有する粘着剤層付光学フィルムは光学表示パネルに適用されるが、その際には、まず、前記粘着剤層付光学フィルムから離型フィルムを剥離して露出した粘着剤層を光学セルに貼り合わせる。貼り合された粘着剤層付光学フィルムには表面保護フィルムがそのまま貼り合されている。 The functional film may be protected with a release film on both sides until it is used for various purposes. For example, when an optical film such as a polarizing film is used as an optical film with an adhesive layer provided with an adhesive layer for adhering to an optical cell such as a liquid crystal cell on one side, generally, A release film (release film) is temporarily attached to the adhesive layer until it is applied for bonding. On the other hand, another release film (surface protective film) is temporarily attached to the other surface of the optical film. Such an optical film with an adhesive layer having a release film and a surface protective film is applied to an optical display panel. In this case, first, the release film is peeled from the optical film with an adhesive layer. The pressure-sensitive adhesive layer exposed is bonded to the optical cell. The surface protective film is directly bonded to the bonded optical film with the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer.
 前記貼り合わせは、例えば、巻回体から繰り出して、搬送された粘着剤層付光学フィルムを、離型フィルムを剥離して露出した粘着剤層を介して光学セルの表面に貼り合せる方式(以下、「ロール・トゥ・パネル方式」ともいう。特許文献1)がある。また、枚葉状態にした粘着剤層付光学フィルムを、離型フィルムを剥離して露出した粘着剤層を介して光学セルに貼り付ける方式(以下、「シート・トゥ・パネル方式」ともいう。)がある。 The bonding is, for example, a method in which the optical film with the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer fed out from the wound body is bonded to the surface of the optical cell via the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer exposed by peeling off the release film (hereinafter referred to as the adhesive layer). Also referred to as “roll-to-panel method.” Patent Document 1). In addition, a method of attaching the optical film with the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer in a single wafer state to the optical cell through the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer exposed by peeling off the release film (hereinafter also referred to as “sheet-to-panel method”). )
 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(特許文献2)。また、偏光フィルムの薄型化は、偏光子の片面にのみ保護フィルムを設け、他の片面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。当該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 (Patent Document 2). Further, the polarizing film can be thinned by using a single protective polarizing film in which a protective film is provided only on one side of the polarizer and no protective film is provided on the other side. The single-protective polarizing film can be a thin type because the protective film is less than one protective polarizing film provided with protective films on both sides of the polarizer.

 前記離型フィルムおよび表面保護フィルムを有する粘着剤層付光学フィルム(例えば、粘着剤層付偏光フィルム)から離型フィルムを剥離する際には、通常、前記粘着剤層付光学フィルムの表面保護フィルム側を固定した状態で、離型フィルムが剥離される。しかし、近年、表面保護フィルムを糊残りなく容易に剥離できる態様への要望が増しており、表面保護フィルムの剥離力は益々低減されている。本来であれば、剥離順序の観点からは、先に剥離される離型フィルムが、後に剥離される表面保護フィルムに比べて剥離力が十分に小さくなる(剥離し易い)ように設計されていることが望ましい。しかし、近年においては、離型フィルムの剥離力に比べて、表面保護フィルムの剥離力が十分に大きくないか、あるいは表面保護フィルムの剥離力の方が小さく設計された粘着剤層付光学フィルムが提案されていることが新たに判明した。そのため、離型フィルムの剥離時に、離型フィルムと粘着剤層の界面ではなく、光学フィルム(例えば、偏光フィルム)と表面保護フィルムの界面において剥離が生じてしまう問題が生じている。前記問題は、例えば、表面保護フィルムの剥離力と離型フィルムの剥離力を略同じにすれば解決可能である。しかし、離型フィルムには、光学フィルムと光学セルの密着力を確保するために、所定以上の剥離力が求められるため、離型フィルムの剥離力を表面保護フィルムの剥離力と略同じに設計した場合には、光学フィルムと光学セルの密着力が低下するか、表面保護フィルムの剥離力の低減要求に応えられなくなる。特に、前記問題は、シート・トゥ・パネル方式において、所定厚み以下(例えば、厚みが60μm以下)の薄型の偏光フィルムを有する枚葉状の粘着剤層付偏光フィルムから離型フィルムを剥離する時に顕在化することが分かった。 When peeling a release film from an optical film with an adhesive layer having a release film and a surface protective film (for example, a polarizing film with an adhesive layer), the surface protective film of the optical film with an adhesive layer is usually used. With the side fixed, the release film is peeled off. However, in recent years, there has been an increasing demand for a mode in which the surface protective film can be easily peeled without any adhesive residue, and the peel strength of the surface protective film has been further reduced. Originally, from the viewpoint of the peeling order, the release film that is peeled first is designed so that the peeling force is sufficiently small (easy to peel) compared to the surface protective film that is peeled later. It is desirable. However, in recent years, the optical film with an adhesive layer designed so that the peel strength of the surface protective film is not sufficiently large or the peel strength of the surface protective film is smaller than the peel strength of the release film. It was newly discovered that it was proposed. Therefore, when the release film is peeled off, there is a problem that peeling occurs not at the interface between the release film and the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer but at the interface between the optical film (for example, a polarizing film) and the surface protective film. The problem can be solved, for example, by making the peeling force of the surface protective film and the peeling force of the release film substantially the same. However, the release film is required to have a peeling force that exceeds a predetermined level in order to ensure the adhesion between the optical film and the optical cell. Therefore, the release film is designed to have the same release force as that of the surface protective film. In this case, the adhesive force between the optical film and the optical cell is reduced, or the demand for reducing the peeling force of the surface protective film cannot be met. In particular, the above problem is apparent when a release film is peeled from a sheet-like polarizing film with a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer having a thin polarizing film of a predetermined thickness or less (for example, a thickness of 60 μm or less) in a sheet-to-panel system. I found out that
 本発明は、機能フィルムの両面に第1剥離フィルムおよび第2剥離フィルムを有する枚葉状のフィルム積層体であって、薄型の機能フィルムを用いた場合であっても、第1剥離フィルム(初めに剥離を行う側の剥離フィルム)を容易に剥離することができるフィルム積層体を提供することを目的とする。 The present invention is a sheet-like film laminate having a first release film and a second release film on both sides of a functional film, and even when a thin functional film is used, It is an object of the present invention to provide a film laminate capable of easily peeling off a peeling film on the side to be peeled.

 前記フィルム積層体において、前記第1剥離フィルムおよび第2剥離フィルムとしては、いずれも表面保護フィルムを用いることができる。 In the film laminate, a surface protective film can be used as the first release film and the second release film.

Moreover, this invention is a process (1) which prepares the said film laminated body,
A step (2) of peeling the first release film from the film laminate, and
It is related with the manufacturing method of the optical display panel which has the process (3) which affixes the side of the adhesive layer for functional films of the said film laminated body from which the said 1st peeling film peeled to the one surface of an optical cell.

 本発明のフィルム積層体は、機能フィルムの両面に第1剥離フィルム(前記フィルム積層体において初めに剥離される剥離フィルム)および第2剥離フィルム(前記第1剥離フィルムを剥離した後に剥離される剥離フィルム)を有し、第1剥離フィルムには第2剥離フィルムよりも、剛軟性試験における剛軟度(mm)が大きいものを用いている。かかるフィルム積層体の設計によって、第1剥離フィルムを剥離する際には、機能フィルムの断面方向のせん断力が、機能フィルムと第2剥離フィルムの界面よりも、第1剥離フィルムの界面に、大きく加わるようになると考えられる。その結果、機能フィルムの厚みが110μm以下であって腰(弾性率)が弱い場合(更には、第1剥離フィルムの剥離力に比べて、第2剥離フィルムの剥離力が小さい場合)にも、機能フィルムと第2剥離フィルムの界面での剥離を生じることなく、シート・トゥ・パネル方式において、枚葉状のフィルム積層体から第1剥離フィルムを容易に剥離することができる。 The film laminate of the present invention has a first release film (a release film that is peeled first in the film laminate) and a second release film (a peel that is peeled off after the first release film is peeled) on both sides of the functional film. The first release film has a higher bending resistance (mm) in the bending resistance test than the second release film. By peeling off the first release film by the design of the film laminate, the shear force in the cross-sectional direction of the functional film is larger at the interface of the first release film than at the interface of the functional film and the second release film. It is thought that it will come to join. As a result, even when the thickness of the functional film is 110 μm or less and the waist (elastic modulus) is weak (further, when the peeling force of the second peeling film is smaller than the peeling force of the first peeling film), In the sheet-to-panel system, the first release film can be easily peeled from the sheet-like film laminate without causing peeling at the interface between the functional film and the second release film.

 以下に本発明のフィルム積層体Fを、図面を参照しながら説明する。図1乃至図5は、フィルム積層体Fの断面模式図である。フィルム積層体Fは、第1剥離フィルム1、機能フィルムA、および第2剥離フィルム2がこの順に積層されている構成である。 Hereinafter, the film laminate F of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. 1 to 5 are schematic cross-sectional views of the film laminate F.

The first release film 1 has a first base film, and the second release film 2 has a second base film.
 図2、図3の態様において、第1剥離フィルム1は、実用に供されるまで機能フィルム用粘着剤層Bを保護する離型フィルムとして用いられる。前記第1剥離フィルム1は、第1基材フィルムを有する他に、例えば、機能フィルム用粘着剤層Bからの剥離性を高めるために、第1基材フィルムの機能フィルム用粘着剤層Bを貼り合わせる側に剥離処理層等を設けることができる(図示せず)。なお、第1基材フィルムに剥離処理層等を設けない場合には、第1基材フィルムの厚みが第1剥離フィルム1の厚みに対応する。 2 and 3, the first release film 1 is used as a release film for protecting the functional film pressure-sensitive adhesive layer B until practical use. In addition to having the first base film, the first release film 1 includes, for example, the functional film pressure-sensitive adhesive layer B of the first base film in order to enhance the peelability from the functional film pressure-sensitive adhesive layer B. A peeling treatment layer or the like can be provided on the side to be bonded (not shown).

FIG. 1 conceptually shows the case where the second release film 2 is a self-adhesive film. When the second release film 2 is a self-adhesive film, the thickness of the self-adhesive film corresponds to the thickness of the second base film.
 図3では、機能フィルムAが、偏光子a1の片面にのみ保護フィルムa2を有する片保護偏光フィルムである場合が示されている。なお、図3では片保護偏光フィルムにおける偏光子a1の側に機能フィルム用粘着剤層Bを有する場合が例示されているが、片保護偏光フィルムは、保護フィルムa2の側に機能フィルム用粘着剤層Bを有するように配置することもできる。なお、図2の機能フィルムAとしては、例えば、各種光学フィルムを用いることができ、偏光子a1の両面に保護フィルムa2を有する両保護偏光フィルムを用いることができる。 FIG. 3 shows a case where the functional film A is a piece protective polarizing film having the protective film a2 only on one side of the polarizer a1. In addition, in FIG. 3, although the case where it has the adhesive layer B for functional films in the polarizer a1 side in the piece protection polarizing film is illustrated, the piece protection polarizing film is the adhesive for functional films on the protection film a2 side. It can also be arranged to have layer B. In addition, as the functional film A of FIG. 2, various optical films can be used, for example, and both protective polarizing films which have the protective film a2 on both surfaces of the polarizer a1 can be used.
 図4、図5では、機能フィルムAの片面に第1剥離フィルム1を表面保護フィルムとして設け、他の片面に、第2剥離フィルム2を表面保護フィルムとして設ける態様である。 4 and 5 are embodiments in which the first release film 1 is provided as a surface protective film on one side of the functional film A, and the second release film 2 is provided as a surface protective film on the other side.
 図4、図5の態様において、第1剥離フィルム1は、第1基材フィルム11および表面保護フィルム用粘着剤層12を有する場合が例示されている。図4、図5では、第1剥離フィルム1の表面保護フィルム用粘着剤層12側が、機能フィルムAに貼り合されている。一方、図4、図5の態様において、第2剥離フィルム2は、図2、図3と同様に、第2基材フィルム21および表面保護フィルム用粘着剤層22を有する場合が例示されている。 4 and FIG. 5, the case where the 1st peeling film 1 has the 1st base film 11 and the adhesive layer 12 for surface protection films is illustrated. 4 and 5, the surface protective film pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 12 side of the first release film 1 is bonded to the functional film A. On the other hand, in the embodiment of FIGS. 4 and 5, the second release film 2 is illustrated as having the second base film 21 and the surface protective film pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 22 as in FIGS. 2 and 3. .
 図5では、機能フィルムAが、機能基材フィルムa3の両面に表面処理層a4を有する場合が例示されている。なお、図5の機能フィルムAとしては、例えば、各種光学フィルムを用いることができ、機能基材フィルムa3の片面にのみ表面処理層a4を有するものを用いることができる。 FIG. 5 illustrates the case where the functional film A has the surface treatment layer a4 on both surfaces of the functional substrate film a3. In addition, as the functional film A of FIG. 5, various optical films can be used, for example, and what has the surface treatment layer a4 only on the single side | surface of the functional base film a3 can be used.
 本発明のフィルム積層体は、第1剥離フィルム1の剛軟性試験における第1剛軟度(mm)が、第2剥離フィルム2の剛軟性試験における第2剛軟度(mm)よりも大きくなるように、前記第1剥離フィルムおよび第2剥離フィルムが選択される。前記第1剛軟度(mm)と第2剛軟度(mm)はそれらの差が10mm以上であることが、剥離精度の安定性(ピックアップ試験において)の点から好ましく、さらには20mm以上、さらには30mm以上であることが好ましい。 In the film laminate of the present invention, the first stiffness (mm) in the stiffness test of the first release film 1 is greater than the second stiffness (mm) in the stiffness test of the second release film 2. Thus, the first release film and the second release film are selected. The difference between the first bending resistance (mm) and the second bending resistance (mm) is preferably 10 mm or more from the viewpoint of the stability of the peeling accuracy (in the pickup test), and further 20 mm or more, Furthermore, it is preferable that it is 30 mm or more.
 前記第1剥離フィルム1、前記第2剥離フィルム2はいずれも最終的には剥離されるものであり、第1剥離フィルム1の剥離力(1)、前記第2剥離フィルム2の剥離力(2)はそれぞれに、好適な剥離力に設計するのが好ましい。例えば、図2、図3の態様において、剥離力(1)は、機能フィルム用粘着剤層Bに対する第1剥離フィルム1の剥離力であり、図4、図5の態様において、剥離力(1)は、機能フィルムAに対する第1剥離フィルム1の剥離力である。剥離力(2)は、機能フィルムAに対する第2剥離フィルム2の剥離力である。 Both the first release film 1 and the second release film 2 are finally peeled off. The peel force (1) of the first peel film 1 and the peel force (2 of the second peel film 2) ) Is preferably designed to have a suitable peeling force. For example, in the embodiments of FIGS. 2 and 3, the peel force (1) is the peel force of the first release film 1 with respect to the functional film pressure-sensitive adhesive layer B. In the embodiments of FIGS. ) Is the peeling force of the first release film 1 with respect to the functional film A. The peeling force (2) is the peeling force of the second release film 2 with respect to the functional film A.
 前記剥離力(1)は、加工時の端部浮き防止の観点から0.03N/25mm以上であるのが好ましい。さらには、0.05~0.5N/25mmであることが好ましく、さらには0.1~0.3N/25mmであることが好ましい。また、前記剥離力(2)は、簡易な剥離の観点から0.2N/25mm以下であることが好ましく、さらには0.01~0.1N/25mmであることが好ましく、さらには0.01~0.05N/25mmであることが好ましい。 The peeling force (1) is preferably 0.03 N / 25 mm or more from the viewpoint of preventing end lifting during processing. Furthermore, it is preferably 0.05 to 0.5 N / 25 mm, more preferably 0.1 to 0.3 N / 25 mm. Further, the peeling force (2) is preferably 0.2 N / 25 mm or less, more preferably 0.01 to 0.1 N / 25 mm, and further preferably 0.01 from the viewpoint of simple peeling. It is preferable to be 0.05 N / 25 mm.
 本発明のフィルム積層体Fは、第1剥離フィルム1の剥離力(1)が、前記第2剥離フィルム2の剥離力(2)以上の場合に好適に適用される。特に、前記剥離力(1)が、前記剥離力(2)より大きい設計の場合に好適に適用される。本発明のフィルム積層体Fは、前記剥離力(2)に対する前記剥離力(1)の値{剥離力(1)/剥離力(2)}は、1.1倍以上の場合、さらには1.5倍以上である場合に好適である。 The film laminate F of the present invention is suitably applied when the peel force (1) of the first peel film 1 is greater than or equal to the peel force (2) of the second peel film 2. In particular, the present invention is suitably applied to the case where the peeling force (1) is designed to be larger than the peeling force (2). In the film laminate F of the present invention, the value {peeling force (1) / peeling force (2)} of the peel force (1) with respect to the peel force (2) is 1.1 times or more, and further 1 It is suitable when it is 5 times or more.
 本発明のフィルム積層体Fは、第1剥離フィルム1の第1基材フィルムの厚みが、第2剥離フィルム2の第2基材フィルムの厚みよりも大きいことが好ましい。フィルム基材の剛軟度は、フィルム厚みにより影響を受け、フィルム厚みが大きくなるほど剛軟度は大きくなる傾向がある。従って、第1基材フィルムの厚みを、第2基材フィルムの厚みよりも大きくなるように設計することで、第1剥離フィルムの第1剛軟度を第2剥離フィルムの第2剛軟度よりも大きくなるように調整することができる。特に、第1基材フィルムと第2基材フィルムが同じ形成材料の場合には、前記厚みによる剛軟度の調整が容易である。 In the film laminate F of the present invention, the thickness of the first base film of the first release film 1 is preferably larger than the thickness of the second base film of the second release film 2. The bending resistance of the film substrate is affected by the film thickness, and the bending resistance tends to increase as the film thickness increases. Therefore, by designing the thickness of the first base film to be larger than the thickness of the second base film, the first bending degree of the first peeling film is changed to the second bending degree of the second peeling film. It can be adjusted to be larger. In particular, when the first base film and the second base film are the same forming material, the bending resistance can be easily adjusted by the thickness.
 なお、第1、第2剥離フィルムにおける剥離処理層等の各種処理層や、表面保護フィルムとして用いる場合の表面保護フィルム用粘着剤層等は、剛軟度に及ぼす影響は殆どない。そのため、第1剥離フィルムの第1剛軟度は第1基材フィルムの材質、厚さにより、第2剥離フィルムの第2剛軟度は第2基材フィルムの材質、厚さにより決定される。 In addition, the various treatment layers such as the release treatment layers in the first and second release films and the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer for the surface protection film when used as the surface protection film have little influence on the bending resistance. Therefore, the first bending resistance of the first release film is determined by the material and thickness of the first base film, and the second bending resistance of the second release film is determined by the material and thickness of the second base film. .
 前記第1剥離フィルムの第1基材フィルムの厚みは、通常、40~240μmが好ましく、さらに好ましくは45~230μm、さらに好ましくは50~220μmである。一方、前記第2剥離フィルムの第2基材フィルムの厚みは、通常、5~150μmが好ましく、さらに好ましくは10~100μmである。 The thickness of the first base film of the first release film is usually preferably 40 to 240 μm, more preferably 45 to 230 μm, and further preferably 50 to 220 μm. On the other hand, the thickness of the second base film of the second release film is usually preferably 5 to 150 μm, more preferably 10 to 100 μm.

 機能フィルムは、厚み(総厚み)が110μm以下のものを用いる。機能フィルムの厚みは、95μm以下が好ましく、さらには80μm以下が好ましい。機能フィルムの厚みが110μm以下の場合に、シート・トゥ・パネル方式において、第1剥離フィルムの剥離時に、第1剥離フィルムと機能フィルムの界面ではなく、機能フィルムと第2剥離フィルムの界面において剥離が生じやすく、本発明は、当該厚みの機能フィルムへ好適に適用される。 The functional film having a thickness (total thickness) of 110 μm or less is used. The thickness of the functional film is preferably 95 μm or less, and more preferably 80 μm or less.

The present invention is preferably applied to a functional film having the thickness.
 <偏光フィルム>
 前記光学フィルムとしては、偏光フィルムが好適に用いられる。偏光フィルムを用いる場合には、厚み(総厚み)が60μm以下の偏光フィルムを用いるのが好ましい。前記偏光フィルムの厚みは薄型化の観点から55μm以下、さらには50μm以下のものを用いることができる。なお、偏光フィルムの構成としては、例えば、(1)偏光子の両面に保護フィルムがこの順に積層されている構成(両保護偏光フィルム)、(2)偏光子の片面にのみ保護フィルムが積層されている構成(片保護偏光フィルム)等が挙げられる。

 偏光子は、ポリビニルアルコール系樹脂を用いたものが使用される。偏光子としては、例えば、ポリビニルアルコール系フィルム、部分ホルマール化ポリビニルアルコール系フィルム、エチレン・酢酸ビニル共重合体系部分ケン化フィルム等の親水性高分子フィルムに、ヨウ素や二色性染料の二色性物質を吸着させて一軸延伸したもの、ポリビニルアルコールの脱水処理物やポリ塩化ビニルの脱塩酸処理物等ポリエン系配向フィルム等が挙げられる。これらの中でも、ポリビニルアルコール系フィルムとヨウ素などの二色性物質からなる偏光子が好適である。
≪Polarizer≫
A polarizer using a polyvinyl alcohol-based resin is used. Examples of polarizers include dichroic iodine and dichroic dyes on hydrophilic polymer films such as polyvinyl alcohol films, partially formalized polyvinyl alcohol films, and ethylene / vinyl acetate copolymer partially saponified films. Examples thereof include polyene-based oriented films such as those obtained by adsorbing substances and uniaxially stretched, polyvinyl alcohol dehydrated products and polyvinyl chloride dehydrochlorinated products. Among these, a polarizer composed of a polyvinyl alcohol film and a dichroic material such as iodine is preferable.
 ポリビニルアルコール系フィルムをヨウ素で染色し一軸延伸した偏光子は、例えば、ポリビニルアルコールをヨウ素の水溶液に浸漬することによって染色し、元長の3~7倍に延伸することで作製することができる。必要に応じてホウ酸や硫酸亜鉛、塩化亜鉛等を含んでいても良いし、ヨウ化カリウムなどの水溶液に浸漬することもできる。さらに必要に応じて染色前にポリビニルアルコール系フィルムを水に浸漬して水洗してもよい。ポリビニルアルコール系フィルムを水洗することでポリビニルアルコール系フィルム表面の汚れやブロッキング防止剤を洗浄することができるほかに、ポリビニルアルコール系フィルムを膨潤させることで染色のムラなどの不均一を防止する効果もある。延伸はヨウ素で染色した後に行っても良いし、染色しながら延伸しても良いし、また延伸してからヨウ素で染色しても良い。ホウ酸やヨウ化カリウムなどの水溶液や水浴中でも延伸することができる。 A polarizer obtained by dyeing a polyvinyl alcohol film with iodine and uniaxially stretching it can be produced, for example, by dyeing polyvinyl alcohol in an aqueous iodine solution and stretching it 3 to 7 times the original length. If necessary, it may contain boric acid, zinc sulfate, zinc chloride, or the like, or may be immersed in an aqueous solution such as potassium iodide. Further, if necessary, the polyvinyl alcohol film may be immersed in water and washed before dyeing. In addition to washing the polyvinyl alcohol film surface with dirt and anti-blocking agents by washing the polyvinyl alcohol film with water, it also has the effect of preventing unevenness such as uneven coloring by swelling the polyvinyl alcohol film. is there. Stretching may be performed after dyeing with iodine, may be performed while dyeing, or may be dyed with iodine after stretching. The film can be stretched even in an aqueous solution such as boric acid or potassium iodide or in a water bath.
 偏光子の厚みは、薄型化の観点から10μm以下であるのが好ましく、さらには8μm以下、さらには7μm以下、さらには6μm以下であるのが好ましい。一方、偏光子の厚みは2μm以上、さらには3μm以上であるのが好ましい。このような薄型の偏光子は、厚みムラが少なく、視認性が優れており、また寸法変化が少ないため熱衝撃に対する耐久性に優れる。一方、厚み10μm以下の偏光子を含む偏光フィルムは、フィルムの腰(弾性率)が顕著に低くなるため、シート・トゥ・パネル方式において、離型フィルムの剥離時に、離型フィルムと粘着剤層の界面ではなく、偏光フィルムと表面保護フィルムの界面において剥離が特に生じやすく、本発明は、当該偏光フィルムに特に好適である。 The thickness of the polarizer is preferably 10 μm or less from the viewpoint of thinning, more preferably 8 μm or less, further 7 μm or less, and further preferably 6 μm or less. On the other hand, the thickness of the polarizer is preferably 2 μm or more, and more preferably 3 μm or more. Such a thin polarizer has less thickness unevenness, excellent visibility, and less dimensional change, and therefore excellent durability against thermal shock. On the other hand, since a polarizing film including a polarizer having a thickness of 10 μm or less has a significantly low elasticity (elastic modulus), the release film and the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer are peeled off when the release film is peeled off in the sheet-to-panel method. Peeling is particularly likely to occur at the interface between the polarizing film and the surface protective film rather than at the interface of the present invention, and the present invention is particularly suitable for the polarizing film.
