Description

硬化膜形成組成物、配向材および位相差材Cured film forming composition, alignment material and retardation material
 本発明は液晶分子を配向させる硬化膜形成組成物、配向材および位相差材に関する。特に本発明は、円偏光メガネ方式の3Dディスプレイに用いられるパターニングされた位相差材や、有機ELディスプレイの反射防止膜として使用される円偏光板に用いられる位相差材を作製するのに有用な硬化膜形成組成物、配向材および位相差材に関する。 The present invention relates to a cured film-forming composition for aligning liquid crystal molecules, an alignment material, and a retardation material. In particular, the present invention is useful for producing a patterned retardation material used in a 3D display of a circularly polarized glasses system, and a retardation material used in a circularly polarizing plate used as an antireflection film of an organic EL display. The present invention relates to a cured film-forming composition, an alignment material, and a retardation material.
 円偏光メガネ方式の3Dディスプレイの場合、液晶パネル等の画像を形成する表示素子の上に位相差材が配置されるのが通常である。この位相差材は、位相差特性の異なる2種類の位相差領域がそれぞれ複数、規則的に配置されており、パターニングされた位相差材を構成している。尚、以下、本明細書においては、このような位相差特性の異なる複数の位相差領域を配置するようにパターン化された位相差材をパターン化位相差材と称する。 In the case of a circularly polarizing glasses 3D display, a retardation material is usually disposed on a display element such as a liquid crystal panel that forms an image. In this retardation material, a plurality of two types of retardation regions having different retardation characteristics are regularly arranged, and constitute a patterned retardation material. Hereinafter, in the present specification, a retardation material patterned so as to dispose a plurality of retardation regions having different retardation characteristics as described above will be referred to as a patterned retardation material.
 パターン化位相差材は、例えば、特許文献1に開示されるように、重合性液晶からなる位相差材料を光学パターニングすることで作製することができる。重合性液晶からなる位相差材料の光学パターニングは、液晶パネルの配向材形成で知られている光配向技術を利用する。すなわち、基板上に光配向性の材料からなる塗膜を設け、これに偏光方向が異なる2種類の偏光を照射する。そして、液晶の配向制御方向の異なる2種類の液晶配向領域が形成された配向材として光配向膜を得る。この光配向膜の上に重合性液晶を含む溶液状の位相差材料を塗布し、重合性液晶の配向を実現する。その後、配向された重合性液晶を硬化してパターン化位相差材を形成する。 The patterned retardation material can be produced, for example, by optically patterning a retardation material composed of a polymerizable liquid crystal as disclosed in Patent Document 1. The optical patterning of the retardation material made of a polymerizable liquid crystal utilizes a photoalignment technique known for forming an alignment material of a liquid crystal panel. That is, a coating film made of a photoalignable material is provided on a substrate, and two types of polarized light having different polarization directions are irradiated to this. Then, a photo alignment film is obtained as an alignment material in which two types of liquid crystal alignment regions having different alignment control directions of liquid crystals are formed. A solution-like retardation material containing a polymerizable liquid crystal is coated on the photoalignment film to realize the alignment of the polymerizable liquid crystal. Thereafter, the oriented polymerizable liquid crystal is cured to form a patterned retardation material.
 有機ELディスプレイの反射防止膜は、直線偏光板、1/4波長位相差板により構成され、画像表示パネルのパネル面に向かう外来光を直線偏光板により直線偏光に変換し、続く1/4波長位相差板により円偏光に変換する。ここでこの円偏光による外来光は、画像表示パネルの表面等で反射するものの、この反射の際に偏光面の回転方向が逆転する。その結果、この反射光は、到来時とは逆に、1/4波長位相差板より、直線偏光板により遮光される方向の直線偏光に変換された後、続く直線偏光板により遮光され、その結果、外部への出射が著しく抑制される。 The anti-reflection film of the organic EL display is composed of a linear polarizer and a quarter-wave retarder, and the extraneous light directed to the panel surface of the image display panel is converted into linearly polarized light by the linear polarizer, and the subsequent quarter-wave The light is converted to circularly polarized light by a retardation plate. Here, although the extraneous light by this circularly polarized light is reflected by the surface of the image display panel or the like, the rotational direction of the polarization plane is reversed at the time of this reflection. As a result, the reflected light is converted by the 1⁄4 wavelength retardation plate into linearly polarized light in the direction to be blocked by the linear polarization plate and then blocked by the subsequent linear polarization plate, contrary to the time of arrival. As a result, outgoing radiation to the outside is significantly suppressed.
 この1/4波長位相差板に関して、特許文献2には、1/2波長板、1/4波長板を組み合わせて1/4波長位相差板を構成することにより、この光学フィルムを逆分散特性により構成する方法が提案されている。この方法の場合、カラー画像の表示に供する広い波長帯域において、正の分散特性による液晶材料を使用して逆分散特性により光学フィルムを構成することができる。 With regard to this quarter-wave retarder, Patent Document 2 describes that this optical film has reverse dispersion characteristics by constituting a quarter-wave retarder by combining a half-wave plate and a quarter-wave plate. A method of configuring by In this method, it is possible to construct an optical film with reverse dispersion characteristics using a liquid crystal material with positive dispersion characteristics in a wide wavelength band for displaying a color image.
 また近年、この位相差層に適用可能な液晶材料として、逆分散特性を備えるものが提案されている(特許文献3、4)。このような逆分散特性の液晶材料によれば、1/2波長板、1/4波長板を組み合わせて2層の位相差層により1/4波長位相差板を構成する代わりに、位相差層を単層により構成して逆分散特性を確保することができ、これにより広い波長帯域において所望の位相差を確保することが可能な光学フィルムを簡易な構成により実現することができる。 Further, in recent years, as a liquid crystal material applicable to this retardation layer, one having an inverse dispersion characteristic has been proposed (Patent Documents 3 and 4). According to the liquid crystal material having such an inverse dispersion characteristic, instead of forming a 1⁄4 wavelength retardation plate by combining 2 layers of a 1⁄2 wavelength plate and a 1⁄4 wavelength plate, it is possible to use a retardation layer Can be secured by a single layer to ensure reverse dispersion characteristics, whereby an optical film capable of securing a desired retardation in a wide wavelength band can be realized with a simple configuration.
 液晶を配向させるためには配向層が用いられる。配向層の形成方法としては、例えばラビング法や光配向法が知られており、光配向法はラビング法の問題点である静電気や塵の発生がなく、定量的な配向処理の制御ができる点で有用である。 An alignment layer is used to align the liquid crystal. As a method of forming an alignment layer, for example, a rubbing method or a photo-alignment method is known, and the photo-alignment method is capable of quantitative control of alignment processing without generating static electricity and dust which are problems of the rubbing method. Useful for
 光配向法を用いた配向材形成では、利用可能な光配向性の材料として、側鎖にシンナモイル基およびカルコン基等の光二量化部位を有するアクリル樹脂やポリイミド樹脂等が知られている。これらの樹脂は、偏光UV照射することにより、液晶の配向を制御する性能(以下、液晶配向性とも言う。)を示すことが報告されている(特許文献5~特許文献7を参照。)。 In the alignment material formation using the photoalignment method, an acrylic resin, a polyimide resin, etc. which have photodimerization sites, such as a cinnamoyl group and a chalcone group, in a side chain as an available photoalignment property material are known. It has been reported that these resins exhibit the ability to control the alignment of liquid crystals (hereinafter also referred to as liquid crystal alignment) by irradiating polarized UV light (see Patent Documents 5 to 7).
 また、配向層には、液晶配向能の他、液晶層との密着性が要求される。例えば、配向層とこの上に形成された液晶層との密着力が不十分な場合、位相差フィルムの製造に含まれる巻き取り工程等において、上記液晶層が剥離してしまうことがある。 In addition to the liquid crystal alignment ability, the alignment layer is required to have adhesion to the liquid crystal layer. For example, when the adhesion between the alignment layer and the liquid crystal layer formed thereon is insufficient, the liquid crystal layer may be peeled off in the winding step or the like included in the production of the retardation film.
