流延工程では、ドープ移送部1によって流延ダイ2に送液されたドープを、無限に移送する回転駆動ステンレス鋼製エンドレスベルトよりなる支持体3上の流延位置に流延ダイ2から流延する。そして、支持体3は、流延されたドープ(流延ドープ)を支持しながら搬送する。これにより、支持体3上に流延膜(ウェブ)5が形成される。 (S2: casting process)
In the casting step, the dope fed to the
上記の流延工程にて、支持体3上でウェブ5が剥離可能な膜強度となるまで乾燥固化あるいは冷却凝固させた後、剥離工程では、ウェブ5を、自己支持性を持たせたまま、支持体3から剥離ロール4によって剥離する。 (S3: peeling step)
In the above casting step, after the
ここで、残留溶媒量を測定する際の加熱処理とは、115℃で1時間の加熱処理を行うことを表す。 Residual solvent amount (mass%) = (mass before heat treatment of web−mass after heat treatment of web) / (mass after heat treatment of web) × 100
Here, the heat treatment at the time of measuring the amount of residual solvent means that heat treatment is performed at 115 ° C. for one hour.
支持体3から剥離ロール4によって剥離されたウェブ5は、乾燥装置6にて乾燥される。乾燥装置6内では、複数の搬送ロールによってウェブ5が搬送され、その間にウェブ5が乾燥される。乾燥装置6での乾燥方法は、特に制限はなく、一般的に熱風、赤外線、加熱ロール、マイクロ波等を用いてウェブ5を乾燥させる。簡便さの点から、熱風でウェブ5を乾燥させる方法が好ましい。なお、第1乾燥工程は、必要に応じて行われればよい。 (S4; first drying step)
The
延伸工程では、乾燥装置6にて乾燥されたウェブ5を、テンター7によって延伸する。このときの延伸方向としては、フィルム搬送方向(MD方向;Machine Direction)、フィルム面内で上記搬送方向に垂直な幅手方向(TD方向;Transverse Direction)、これらの両方向、のいずれかである。延伸工程では、ウェブ5の両側縁部をクリップ等で固定して延伸するテンター方式が、フィルムの平面性や寸法安定性を向上させるために好ましい。なお、テンター7内では、延伸に加えて乾燥を行ってもよい。 (S5 stretching step)
In the stretching step, the
必要に応じてテンター7にて延伸されたウェブ5は、乾燥装置8にて乾燥される。乾燥装置8内では、複数の搬送ロールによってウェブ5が搬送され、その間にウェブ5が乾燥される。乾燥装置8での乾燥方法は、特に制限はなく、一般的に熱風、赤外線、加熱ロール、マイクロ波等を用いてウェブ5を乾燥させる。簡便さの点から、熱風でウェブ5を乾燥させる方法が好ましい。なお、乾燥装置8に入る前に、ウェブ5の幅手両端部を大まかに切断する工程を行ってもよい。 (S6: second drying step)
The
乾燥装置8と巻取装置11との間には、切断部9およびエンボス加工部10がこの順で配置されている。切断部9では、製膜された光学フィルムFを搬送しながら、その幅手方向の両端部を、スリッターによって切断する切断工程が行われる。光学フィルムFにおいて、両端部の切断後に残った部分は、フィルム製品となる製品部を構成する。一方、光学フィルムFから切断された部分は、シュータにて回収され、再び原材料の一部としてフィルムの製膜に再利用される。 (S7: cutting step, S8: embossing step)
The
最後に、エンボス加工が終了した光学フィルムFを、巻取装置11によって巻き取り、光学フィルムFの元巻(フィルムロール)を得る。すなわち、巻取工程では、光学フィルムFを搬送しながら巻芯に巻き取ることにより、フィルムロールが製造される。光学フィルムFの巻き取り方法は、一般に使用されているワインダーを用いればよく、定トルク法、定テンション法、テーパーテンション法、内部応力一定のプログラムテンションコントロール法等の張力をコントロールする方法があり、それらを使い分ければよい。光学フィルムFの巻長は、1000~15000mであることが好ましい。また、その際の幅は1000~3200mm幅であることが望ましく、膜厚は10~60μmであることが望ましい。 (S9: winding step)
Finally, the optical film F on which the embossing has been completed is wound up by the winding
次に、上述したドープ移送工程の詳細について説明する。ドープ移送工程では、溶解性パラメータ(Solubility Parameter)としてのSP値が10.5(MPa)1/2以下である樹脂を溶解釜21で溶媒に溶解させてドープを作製し、上記ドープを中間釜22を介して流延ダイ2に移送する。中間釜22では、ドープが一時的に保持され、これによって、ドープ中の空気や泡が抜かれる。溶解釜21内のドープは、導管23の中を通って中間釜22に移送され、中間釜22内のドープは、導管24の中を通って流延ダイ2に移送される。また、中間釜22と流延ダイ2との間には、少なくとも1つの熱交換器25が設けられている。熱交換器25では、導管24が加熱媒体または冷却媒体によって加熱または冷却され、これによって、導管24の中を通るドープ、つまり、中間釜22から流延ダイ2に向かって流れるドープが加熱または冷却される。中間釜22と流延ダイ2との間に熱交換器25を複数設置した場合は、上記ドープを一旦加熱してから冷却したり、一旦冷却してから加熱することが可能となる。 [Details of the dope transfer process]
Next, details of the above-described dope transfer step will be described. In the dope transferring step, a resin having an SP value as a solubility parameter (Solubility Parameter) of 10.5 (MPa) 1/2 or less is dissolved in a solvent in a dissolving
溶解度パラメータ値(SP値)=(△E/V)1/2
ここで、△Eは凝集エネルギー密度を表す。Vは分子容(モル体積)を表す。 Here, the above SP value will be described. The SP value is a value represented by the square root of the molecular cohesion energy, which is described in Polymer Hand Book (Second Edition), Chapter IV, Solubility Parameter Values, and is used. However, in the present application, the unit is (MPa) 1/2 and shows a value at 25 ° C. In addition, about what has no description of data, R. F. It can be calculated by the method described in Fedors, Polymer Engineering Science, 14, p147 (1974). That is, it can be basically calculated according to the following equation.
Solubility parameter value (SP value) = (△ E / V) 1/2
Here, ΔE represents the cohesive energy density. V represents molecular volume (molar volume).

However,

It is. In addition, the temperature change of the dope that satisfies the conditional expression (4) can be realized by heating or cooling the dope flowing in the

である。シクロオレフィン系樹脂を用いた溶液製膜では、条件式(4a)をさらに満足することにより、低粘度の領域によるウェブ表面のレベリング効果により、膜厚偏差および位相差偏差の両方を確実に低減することが可能となる。 In particular, when a dope in which a cycloolefin-based resin is dissolved in a solvent is used, it is preferable that the following conditional expression (4a) is satisfied. That is,
(4a) 10 ° C. ≦ Tmax−Tmin ≦ 15 ° C.
It is. In the solution casting using a cycloolefin-based resin, by further satisfying the conditional expression (4a), both the film thickness deviation and the phase difference deviation are surely reduced by the leveling effect of the web surface by the low viscosity region. It becomes possible.

(膜厚偏差)
実施例1~16の光学フィルム1~16、および比較例1~6の光学フィルム21~26について、デジマチックシックネスゲージ(ミツトヨ製)を用いて、幅手方向の膜厚を測定した。膜厚の測定は、得られた1.0m幅のフィルムに対して、左端部から右端部まで、幅手方向に沿って100mm間隔で行って厚みのバラツキ(幅手方向におけるフィルム厚みの最大値と最小値との差)を求めた。そして、この測定を長手方向の50mごとに3回行い、その平均値を求めた。そして、以下の評価基準に基づいて、厚みのバラツキ(膜厚偏差)について評価した。なお、厚みバラツキは、小さいほうが好ましい。
《評価基準》

1:厚みバラツキが5μm以上である(かなり不良である)。 <Evaluation>
(Thickness deviation)
With respect to the
"Evaluation criteria"
5: Thickness variation is less than 1 μm (very good).
4: Thickness variation is 1 μm or more and less than 2 μm (very good).
3: The thickness variation is 2 μm or more and less than 3 μm (good).

実施例1~16の光学フィルム1~16、および比較例1~6の光学フィルム21~26について、Ro測定装置(Axometrics製 AXOSCAN-AFM-2000x500H)を用いて、幅手方向において面内位相差(リタデーション)Roを測定した。Ro測定は、上述の厚みバラツキの測定と同様にして行った。 (Phase difference deviation)
For the
《評価基準》
5:Roバラツキが1nm未満である(非常に良好である)。

3:Roバラツキが2nm以上3nm未満である(良好である)。
2:Roバラツキが3nm以上5nm未満である(不良である)。
1:Roバラツキが5nm以上である(かなり不良である)。 That is, the measurement of Ro is performed on the obtained film having a width of 1.0 m from the left end to the right end at intervals of 100 mm along the width direction, and the variation of Ro (the maximum value of Ro in the width direction) is measured. (Difference between the minimum value and the minimum value). This measurement was performed three times every 50 m in the longitudinal direction, and the average value was obtained. Then, the variation (phase difference deviation) of Ro was evaluated based on the following evaluation criteria. It is preferable that the variation of Ro is smaller.
"Evaluation criteria"
5: The variation in Ro is less than 1 nm (very good).
4: The variation in Ro is 1 nm or more and less than 2 nm (very good).
3: Ro variation is 2 nm or more and less than 3 nm (good).
2: The variation in Ro is 3 nm or more and less than 5 nm (poor).
1: Ro variation is 5 nm or more (very bad).
(1)T1>T2>T3
(2)T1-T3≦25℃
(3)5℃<T2-T3<15℃
である。この場合、COP等の低SP値の樹脂を用いて溶液製膜を行う場合でも、ドープに高粘度の領域と低粘度の領域とを共存させることができるため、流延時の局所的な風による影響等を低減しながら、ドープにおける流動性の高い低粘度の領域の移動によってドープの表面全体をレベリングすることができる。これにより、膜厚偏差および位相差偏差の発生を低減できていると考えられる。 On the other hand, in Examples 1 to 16, good results were obtained for the film thickness deviation and the phase difference deviation. In Examples 1 to 16, all of T1, T2, and T3 satisfy the following conditional expressions (1) to (3). That is,
(1) T1>T2> T3
(2) T1-T3 ≦ 25 ° C.
(3) 5 ° C <T2-T3 <15 ° C
It is. In this case, even when a solution casting is performed using a resin having a low SP value such as COP, a high-viscosity region and a low-viscosity region can coexist in the dope. While reducing the influence and the like, the entire surface of the dope can be leveled by the movement of the region having high fluidity and low viscosity in the dope. Thus, it is considered that the occurrence of the film thickness deviation and the phase difference deviation can be reduced.
(4)5℃<Tmax-Tmin<30℃
を満足するように、中間釜と流延ダイとの間でドープ温度を上昇または下降させているため、ドープ中で低粘度の領域と高粘度の領域とがバランスよく混ざり合い、これによって、低粘度の領域によるドープ(ウェブ)の表面のレベリング効果を高めることができているためと考えられる。 Further, in Examples 1 to 15, the film thickness deviation and the phase difference deviation are further reduced as compared with Example 16. In Examples 1 to 15, the following conditional expression (4):
(4) 5 ° C <Tmax-Tmin <30 ° C
In order to satisfy the above, the dope temperature is raised or lowered between the intermediate pot and the casting die, so that the low-viscosity region and the high-viscosity region are mixed in the dope in a well-balanced manner. It is considered that the leveling effect of the surface of the dope (web) by the region of the viscosity was enhanced.
(4a)10℃≦Tmax-Tmin≦15℃
をさらに満足していることにより、低粘度の領域によるウェブ表面のレベリング効果がさらに向上しているためと考えられる。 Above all, in Examples 9 to 11, the effect of reducing the film thickness deviation and the phase difference deviation is the highest. In Examples 9 to 11, in solution casting using a cycloolefin-based resin, the following conditional expression (4a):
(4a) 10 ° C. ≦ Tmax−Tmin ≦ 15 ° C.
This is probably because the leveling effect of the web surface by the low-viscosity region is further improved by satisfying the following.
