Description

偏光子、偏光フィルム、光学フィルム、ならびに画像表示装置Polarizer, polarizing film, optical film, and image display device
 本発明は、少なくとも一方の表面に耐久性向上層を備える偏光子に関する。さらに本発明は、偏光子の少なくとも一方の面に透明保護フィルムが積層された偏光フィルムに関する。当該偏光フィルムはこれ単独で、またはこれを積層した光学フィルムとして液晶表示装置(LCD)、有機EL表示装置、CRT、PDPなどの画像表示装置を形成しうる。 The present invention relates to a polarizer having a durability improving layer on at least one surface. Further, the present invention relates to a polarizing film in which a transparent protective film is laminated on at least one surface of a polarizer. The polarizing film can form an image display device such as a liquid crystal display device (LCD), an organic EL display device, a CRT, and a PDP by itself or as an optical film obtained by laminating the polarizing film.
 時計、携帯電話、PDA、ノートパソコン、パソコン用モニタ、DVDプレーヤー、TVなどでは液晶表示装置が急激に市場展開している。液晶表示装置は、液晶のスイッチングによる偏光状態を可視化させたものであり、その表示原理から、偏光子が用いられる。特に、TVなどの用途では、ますます高輝度、高コントラスト、広い視野角が求められ、偏光フィルムにおいてもますます高透過率、高偏光度、高い色再現性などが求められている。 液晶 Liquid crystal display devices are rapidly developing in markets such as watches, mobile phones, PDAs, notebook computers, monitors for personal computers, DVD players, and TVs. The liquid crystal display device visualizes the polarization state by switching of the liquid crystal, and a polarizer is used from the display principle. In particular, in applications such as TVs, higher brightness, higher contrast, and wider viewing angles are required, and polarizing films are also required to have higher transmittance, higher degree of polarization, higher color reproducibility, and the like.
 偏光子としては、高透過率、高偏光度を有することから、例えばポリビニルアルコール(以下、単に「PVA」ともいう)にヨウ素を吸着させ、延伸した構造のヨウ素系偏光子が最も一般的に広く使用されている。一般的に偏光フィルムは、ポリビニルアルコール系の材料を水に溶かしたいわゆる水系接着剤によって、偏光子の両面に透明保護フィルムを貼り合わせたものが用いられている(下記特許文献1)。透明保護フィルムとしては、透湿度の高いトリアセチルセルロースなどが用いられる。前記水系接着剤を用いた場合(いわゆるウェットラミネーション)には、偏光子と透明保護フィルムとを貼り合わせた後に、乾燥工程が必要となる。 As a polarizer, for example, an iodine-based polarizer having a structure in which iodine is adsorbed on polyvinyl alcohol (hereinafter, also simply referred to as “PVA”) and stretched because it has a high transmittance and a high degree of polarization is most widely used. It is used. Generally, a polarizing film is used in which a transparent protective film is attached to both surfaces of a polarizer with a so-called aqueous adhesive obtained by dissolving a polyvinyl alcohol-based material in water (Patent Document 1 below). As the transparent protective film, triacetyl cellulose having high moisture permeability is used. When the water-based adhesive is used (so-called wet lamination), a drying step is required after bonding the polarizer and the transparent protective film.
 一方、前記水系接着剤の代わりに、活性エネルギー線硬化性接着剤が提案されている。活性エネルギー線硬化性接着剤を用いて偏光フィルムを製造する場合には、乾燥工程を必要としないため、偏光フィルムの生産性を向上させることができる。例えば、N-置換アミド系モノマーを硬化性成分として使用した、ラジカル重合型の活性エネルギー線硬化性接着剤が提案されている(下記特許文献2)。特許文献2に記載の活性エネルギー線硬化性接着剤を用いて形成された接着剤層は、例えば60℃温水に6時間浸漬後の色抜け、ハガレの有無を評価する耐水性試験に関しては、十分クリア可能である。しかしながら近年では、偏光フィルム用接着剤に対し、例えば水に浸漬(飽和)させた後の端部爪剥がしを行った場合のハガレの有無を評価する、より過酷な耐水性試験をクリアできる程の、さらなる耐水性の向上が求められつつある。 On the other hand, an active energy ray-curable adhesive has been proposed instead of the water-based adhesive. When a polarizing film is produced using an active energy ray-curable adhesive, a drying step is not required, so that the productivity of the polarizing film can be improved. For example, a radical polymerization type active energy ray-curable adhesive using an N-substituted amide monomer as a curable component has been proposed (Patent Document 2 below). The adhesive layer formed using the active energy ray-curable adhesive described in Patent Literature 2 has a sufficient water resistance test for evaluating the presence or absence of color loss and peeling after immersion in, for example, 60 ° C. hot water for 6 hours. Can be cleared.

 前記のとおり、偏光子としては一般に、PVAにヨウ素を吸着させ、延伸した構造のヨウ素系偏光子が使用される。本発明においては、偏光子が、その少なくとも一方の表面に耐久性向上層を備え、かかる耐久性向上層が炭素-炭素二重結合および環状骨格を有する化合物(A)を含有する硬化性組成物により形成されている。このため、加湿環境下でも偏光子の光学特性劣化が抑制できる。かかる効果が得られる理由は明らかではないが、偏光子が、化合物(A)を含有する硬化性組成物により形成された耐久性向上層を少なくとも一方の表面に備えるため、加湿環境下でも偏光子表面上に存在するヨウ素錯体を安定化できることが理由の一つとして考えられる。 As described above, an iodine-based polarizer having a structure in which iodine is adsorbed on PVA and stretched is generally used as the polarizer. In the present invention, the polarizer has a durability improving layer on at least one surface thereof, and the durability improving layer contains a compound (A) having a carbon-carbon double bond and a cyclic skeleton. Is formed. For this reason, the optical characteristics of the polarizer can be prevented from deteriorating even in a humid environment. Although the reason why such an effect is obtained is not clear, since the polarizer is provided with at least one surface of the durability improving layer formed of the curable composition containing the compound (A), the polarizer can be used even in a humid environment. One of the reasons is that the iodine complex existing on the surface can be stabilized.
 また、本発明に係る偏光子の少なくとも一方の面に透明保護フィルムが積層された偏光フィルムにおいて、例えば偏光子と透明保護フィルムとの間に接着剤層が介在する場合、加湿環境下であっても偏光フィルムの光学特性劣化が抑制できる。かかる効果が得られる理由は明らかではないが、耐久性向上層により、偏光子表面上に存在する水酸基などの官能基と接着剤層が有する官能基との間に形成された共有結合や水素結合の加水分解を抑制することができるため、偏光子表面上に存在するヨウ素錯体を安定化することができることが理由の一つとして考えられる。 Further, in a polarizing film having a transparent protective film laminated on at least one surface of the polarizer according to the present invention, for example, when an adhesive layer is interposed between the polarizer and the transparent protective film, the humid environment. Also, the deterioration of the optical characteristics of the polarizing film can be suppressed. The reason why such an effect is obtained is not clear, but a covalent bond or a hydrogen bond formed between the functional group such as a hydroxyl group present on the polarizer surface and the functional group of the adhesive layer by the durability improving layer. It can be considered as one of the reasons that it is possible to stabilize the iodine complex present on the surface of the polarizer since the hydrolysis of the iodine complex can be suppressed.
 なお、本発明に係る偏光フィルムは、少なくとも一方の表面に前記特定の耐久性向上層が設けられた偏光子を備えるものであれば、前記耐久性向上層上に透明保護フィルムを設けなくてもよい。かかる偏光フィルムでは、耐久性向上層が加湿環境下での偏光子の光学特性劣化を抑制しつつ、かつ透明保護フィルムの代わりに耐久性向上層が保護機能をも発揮する。 Note that the polarizing film according to the present invention does not need to provide a transparent protective film on the durability improving layer as long as the polarizing film includes the polarizer provided with the specific durability improving layer on at least one surface. Good. In such a polarizing film, the durability improving layer suppresses the deterioration of the optical properties of the polarizer in a humid environment, and the durability improving layer also exhibits a protective function instead of the transparent protective film.

Further, at least a part of the compound (A) may be copolymerized with another copolymerizable monomer. When at least a part of the compound (A) is contained in the curable composition in a polymerized state, for example, the curable composition is formed on at least one surface of the polarizer using a coating method described below. A layer may be provided, and if necessary, dried to form a durability improving layer.
 耐久性向上層中、化合物(A)の含有量が少なすぎると、加湿環境下において偏光子の光学特性の劣化が十分に抑制できない場合がある。したがって、耐久性向上層中、化合物(A)の含有量は、50重量%以上であることが好ましく、70重量%以上であることがより好ましく、80重量%以上であることがさらに好ましい。 と If the content of the compound (A) in the durability improving layer is too small, deterioration of the optical properties of the polarizer in a humid environment may not be sufficiently suppressed.

 硬化性組成物が化合物(A)に加えて重合開始剤を含有する場合であって、耐久性向上層が硬化性組成物の硬化物層により形成されたものである場合、化合物(A)およびその重合物が偏光子近傍に固定されることにより、偏光子の耐久向上性が高まる。その結果、偏光子の光学特性の劣化を好適に抑制できるため好ましい。硬化物層により耐久性向上層を形成する方法については、例えば化合物(A)および重合開始剤を少なくとも含有する硬化性組成物を偏光子に塗布し、後述する活性エネルギー線を照射することにより、硬化性組成物を硬化して硬化物層(耐久性向上層)を形成する方法が挙げられる。使用可能な活性エネルギー線については後述する。 In the case where the curable composition contains a polymerization initiator in addition to the compound (A), and when the durability improving layer is formed by the cured product layer of the curable composition, the compound (A) and the compound (A) By fixing the polymer in the vicinity of the polarizer, the durability of the polarizer is improved.

Form an agent layer. In the polymerization process, when a radical polymerization initiator having a hydrogen abstracting action is present, hydrogen is abstracted from the radical polymerizable compound having an active methylene group while the base polymer constituting the adhesive layer is formed, and the hydrogen is extracted to the methylene group. Radicals are generated. Then, the methylene group in which the radical has been generated reacts with the hydroxyl group of the polarizer such as PVA, and a covalent bond is formed between the adhesive layer and the polarizer. As a result, it is presumed that the adhesiveness of the adhesive layer of the polarizing film is significantly improved even in a non-dried state.

Preferably, irradiation is performed from the transparent protective film side. When irradiated from the side of the polarizer, the polarizer may be degraded by active energy rays (such as electron beams, ultraviolet rays, and visible rays).
 電子線硬化性において、電子線の照射条件は、上記活性エネルギー線硬化性接着剤組成物を硬化しうる条件であれば、任意の適切な条件を採用できる。例えば、電子線照射は、加速電圧が好ましくは5kV~300kVであり、さらに好ましくは10kV~250kVである。加速電圧が5kV未満の場合、電子線が接着剤まで届かず硬化不足となるおそれがあり、加速電圧が300kVを超えると、試料を通る浸透力が強すぎて、透明保護フィルムや偏光子にダメージを与えるおそれがある。照射線量としては、5~100kGy、さらに好ましくは10~75kGyである。照射線量が5kGy未満の場合は、接着剤が硬化不足となり、100kGyを超えると、透明保護フィルムや偏光子にダメージを与え、機械的強度の低下や黄変を生じ、所定の光学特性を得ることができない。 In the electron beam curability, any appropriate condition can be adopted as the irradiation condition of the electron beam as long as the active energy beam curable adhesive composition can be cured. For example, the electron beam irradiation has an acceleration voltage of preferably 5 kV to 300 kV, more preferably 10 kV to 250 kV. If the accelerating voltage is less than 5 kV, the electron beam may not reach the adhesive and curing may be insufficient. If the accelerating voltage exceeds 300 kV, the penetrating power through the sample is too strong, and the transparent protective film and the polarizer are damaged. May be given. The irradiation dose is 5 to 100 kGy, more preferably 10 to 75 kGy. If the irradiation dose is less than 5 kGy, the adhesive will be insufficiently cured, and if it exceeds 100 kGy, the transparent protective film and the polarizer will be damaged, resulting in a decrease in mechanical strength and yellowing, and obtaining predetermined optical characteristics. Can not.
 電子線照射は、通常、不活性ガス中で照射を行うが、必要であれば大気中や酸素を少し導入した条件で行ってもよい。透明保護フィルムの材料によるが、酸素を適宜導入することによって、最初に電子線があたる透明保護フィルム面にあえて酸素阻害を生じさせ、透明保護フィルムへのダメージを防ぐことができ、接着剤にのみ効率的に電子線を照射させることができる。 Electron beam irradiation is usually performed in an inert gas, but may be performed in the atmosphere or under a condition in which oxygen is slightly introduced, if necessary. Depending on the material of the transparent protective film, by properly introducing oxygen, it is possible to prevent oxygen from being applied to the surface of the transparent protective film to which the electron beam first strikes, thereby preventing damage to the transparent protective film, and using only the adhesive. An electron beam can be efficiently irradiated.
 本発明に係る偏光フィルムの製造方法では、活性エネルギー線として、波長範囲380nm~450nmの可視光線を含むもの、特には波長範囲380nm~450nmの可視光線の照射量が最も多い活性エネルギー線を使用することが好ましい。紫外線硬化性、可視光線硬化性において、紫外線吸収能を付与した透明保護フィルム(紫外線不透過型透明保護フィルム)を使用する場合、およそ380nmより短波長の光を吸収するため、380nmより短波長の光は活性エネルギー線硬化性接着剤組成物に到達せず、その重合反応に寄与しない。さらに、透明保護フィルムによって吸収された380nmより短波長の光は熱に変換され、透明保護フィルム自体が発熱し、偏光フィルムのカール・シワなど不良の原因となる。そのため、本発明において紫外線硬化性、可視光線硬化性を採用する場合、活性エネルギー線発生装置として380nmより短波長の光を発光しない装置を使用することが好ましく、より具体的には、波長範囲380~440nmの積算照度と波長範囲250~370nmの積算照度との比が100:0~100:50であることが好ましく、100:0~100:40であることがより好ましい。本発明に係る活性エネルギー線としては、ガリウム封入メタルハライドランプ、波長範囲380~440nmを発光するLED光源が好ましい。あるいは、低圧水銀灯、中圧水銀灯、高圧水銀灯、超高圧水銀灯、白熱電球、キセノンランプ、ハロゲンランプ、カーボンアーク灯、メタルハライドランプ、蛍光灯、タングステンランプ、ガリウムランプ、エキシマレーザーまたは太陽光などの紫外線と可視光線を含む光源を使用することができ、バンドパスフィルターを用いて380nmより短波長の紫外線を遮断して用いることもできる。偏光子と透明保護フィルムとの間の接着剤層の接着性能を高めつつ、偏光フィルムのカールを防止するためには、ガリウム封入メタルハライドランプを使用し、かつ380nmより短波長の光を遮断可能なバンドパスフィルターを介して得られた活性エネルギー線、またはLED光源を使用して得られる波長405nmの活性エネルギー線を使用することが好ましい。 In the method for producing a polarizing film according to the present invention, an active energy ray containing visible light having a wavelength range of 380 nm to 450 nm, particularly an active energy ray having the largest irradiation amount of visible light having a wavelength range of 380 nm to 450 nm, is used. Is preferred. In the case of using a transparent protective film provided with an ultraviolet absorbing ability (ultraviolet-transparent transparent protective film) in ultraviolet curability and visible light curability, light having a wavelength shorter than 380 nm is absorbed to absorb light having a wavelength shorter than about 380 nm. Light does not reach the active energy ray-curable adhesive composition and does not contribute to its polymerization reaction. Further, light having a wavelength shorter than 380 nm absorbed by the transparent protective film is converted into heat, and the transparent protective film itself generates heat, which causes defects such as curling and wrinkling of the polarizing film. Therefore, when ultraviolet curability and visible light curability are employed in the present invention, it is preferable to use a device that does not emit light having a wavelength shorter than 380 nm as an active energy ray generator, and more specifically, a wavelength range of 380. The ratio between the integrated illuminance of ~ 440 nm and the integrated illuminance of the wavelength range of 250 to 370 nm is preferably from 100: 0 to 100: 50, and more preferably from 100: 0 to 100: 40. As the active energy ray according to the present invention, a gallium-filled metal halide lamp or an LED light source emitting light in a wavelength range of 380 to 440 nm is preferable. Or UV light such as low pressure mercury lamp, medium pressure mercury lamp, high pressure mercury lamp, ultra high pressure mercury lamp, incandescent lamp, xenon lamp, halogen lamp, carbon arc lamp, metal halide lamp, fluorescent lamp, tungsten lamp, gallium lamp, excimer laser or sunlight A light source containing visible light can be used, and ultraviolet light having a wavelength shorter than 380 nm can be cut off using a bandpass filter. In order to prevent the curling of the polarizing film while improving the adhesive performance of the adhesive layer between the polarizer and the transparent protective film, a gallium-sealed metal halide lamp can be used, and light having a wavelength shorter than 380 nm can be blocked. It is preferable to use an active energy ray obtained through a band-pass filter or an active energy ray having a wavelength of 405 nm obtained using an LED light source.
 紫外線硬化性または可視光線硬化性において、紫外線または可視光線を照射する前に活性エネルギー線硬化性接着剤組成物を加温すること(照射前加温)が好ましく、その場合40℃以上に加温することが好ましく、50℃以上に加温することがより好ましい。また、紫外線または可視光線を照射後に活性エネルギー線硬化性接着剤組成物を加温すること(照射後加温)も好ましく、その場合40℃以上に加温することが好ましく、50℃以上に加温することがより好ましい。 In the case of ultraviolet curing or visible light curing, it is preferable to heat the active energy ray-curable adhesive composition before irradiation with ultraviolet light or visible light (heating before irradiation). It is preferable to heat to 50 ° C. or more. It is also preferable to heat the active energy ray-curable adhesive composition after irradiation with ultraviolet light or visible light (heating after irradiation). It is more preferable to warm.
 本発明で使用する活性エネルギー線硬化性接着剤組成物は、特に偏光子と波長365nmの光線透過率が5%未満である透明保護フィルムとを接着する接着剤層を形成する場合に好適に使用可能である。ここで、本発明に係る活性エネルギー線硬化性接着剤組成物は、上述した一般式(3)の光重合開始剤を含有することによって、UV吸収能を有する透明保護フィルム越しに紫外線を照射して、接着剤層を硬化形成することができる。よって、偏光子の両面にUV吸収能を有する透明保護フィルムを積層した偏光フィルムにおいても、接着剤層を硬化させることができる。ただし、当然ながら、UV吸収能を有さない透明保護フィルムを積層した偏光フィルムにおいても、接着剤層を硬化させることができる。なお、UV吸収能を有する透明保護フィルムとは、380nmの光に対する透過率が10%未満である透明保護フィルムを意味する。 The active energy ray-curable adhesive composition used in the present invention is suitably used particularly when an adhesive layer for bonding a polarizer and a transparent protective film having a light transmittance of less than 5% at a wavelength of 365 nm is less than 5%. It is possible. Here, the active energy ray-curable adhesive composition according to the present invention contains the photopolymerization initiator represented by the general formula (3), and is irradiated with ultraviolet light through a transparent protective film having UV absorbing ability. Thus, the adhesive layer can be formed by curing. Therefore, even in a polarizing film in which a transparent protective film having UV absorbing ability is laminated on both surfaces of the polarizer, the adhesive layer can be cured. However, as a matter of course, the adhesive layer can be cured even in a polarizing film in which a transparent protective film having no UV absorbing ability is laminated. In addition, the transparent protective film having UV absorption ability means a transparent protective film having a transmittance of less than 10% for light of 380 nm.
 透明保護フィルムへのUV吸収能の付与方法としては、透明保護フィルム中に紫外線吸収剤を含有させる方法や、透明保護フィルム表面に紫外線吸収剤を含有する表面処理層を積層させる方法が挙げられる。 UV Examples of a method for imparting UV absorbing ability to the transparent protective film include a method in which an ultraviolet absorbent is contained in the transparent protective film, and a method in which a surface treatment layer containing an ultraviolet absorbent is laminated on the surface of the transparent protective film.

If the line speed is too low, the productivity is poor, or the damage to the transparent protective film is too large, and a polarizing film that can withstand a durability test or the like cannot be produced. If the line speed is too high, the curing of the adhesive composition may be insufficient, and the desired adhesiveness may not be obtained.

 上記偏光フィルムにおいて、前記透明保護フィルムの透湿度が150g/m/24h以下であることが好ましい。かかる構成によれば、偏光フィルム中に空気中の水分が入り難く、偏光フィルム自体の水分率変化を抑制することができる。その結果、保存環境により生じる偏光フィルムのカールや寸法変化を抑えることができる。 In the polarizing film, it is preferable moisture permeability of the transparent protective film is not more than 150g / m 2 / 24h.

(Humidification durability test)
The transmittance and the degree of polarization of the manufactured polarizing film were measured using a spectral transmittance meter with an integrating sphere (Dot-3c, Murakami Color Research Laboratory). The degree of polarization P is such that the transmittance (parallel transmittance: Tp) when two identical polarizing films are overlapped so that their transmission axes are parallel and that the two transmission films are orthogonal to each other. It is determined by applying the combined transmittance (orthogonal transmittance: Tc) to the following equation. Degree of polarization P (%) = {(Tp−Tc) / (Tp + Tc)} 1/2 × 100
Each transmittance is represented by a Y value obtained by adjusting luminosity by a 2-degree field of view (C light source) according to JIS Z8701, with 100% of completely polarized light obtained through a Glan-Teller prism polarizer. The polarizer surface of this polarizing film is subjected to a corona treatment, and an acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive having a thickness of 20 μm is bonded thereto, and the other surface of the acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive is bonded to non-alkali glass. The initial value of the rate was measured. Next, this polarizing film with glass was put in an environment of 60 ° C. and 95% RH for 48 hours, and the degree of polarization of the polarizing film with glass after aging was measured. The value obtained by subtracting the initial degree of polarization P from the degree of polarization P after aging was defined as the degree of polarization change. The smaller the absolute value of the change in the degree of polarization, the better the humidification durability.
