B-1.偏光子
偏光子としては、任意の適切な偏光子が採用され得る。偏光子は、代表的には、二層以上の積層体を用いて作製され得る。偏光子の製造方法については、偏光板の製造方法としてD項で後述する。
保護層は、上記のとおり、熱可塑性アクリル系樹脂(以下、単にアクリル系樹脂と称する)の有機溶媒溶液の塗布膜の固化物で構成されている。以下、保護層の構成成分について具体的に説明し、次いで、保護層の特性を説明する。
アクリル系樹脂(後述のように、2種以上のアクリル系樹脂のブレンドおよびアクリル系樹脂と他の樹脂とのブレンドを含む)のTgは、保護層に関して上記A項で説明したとおりである。
保護層は、上記のとおり、アクリル系樹脂の有機溶媒溶液の塗布膜の固化物で構成されている。このような塗布膜の固化物であれば、押出成形フィルムに比べて厚みを格段に薄くすることができる。保護層の厚みは、上記のとおり10μm以下であり、好ましくは7μm以下であり、より好ましくは5μm以下であり、さらに好ましくは3μm以下である。保護層の厚みの下限は、例えば1μmであり得る。また、理論的には明らかではないが、このような塗布膜の固化物は、熱硬化性樹脂または活性エネルギー線硬化性樹脂(例えば、紫外線硬化性樹脂)の硬化物に比べてフィルム成形時の収縮が小さい、および、残存モノマー等が含まれないのでフィルム自体の劣化が抑制され、かつ、残存モノマー等に起因する偏光板(偏光子)に対する悪影響を抑制することができるという利点を有する。さらに、水溶液または水分散体のような水系の塗布膜の固化物に比べて吸湿性および透湿性が小さいので加湿耐久性に優れるという利点を有する。その結果、加熱加湿環境下においても光学特性を維持し得る、耐久性に優れた偏光板(結果として、位相差層付偏光板)を実現することができる。

B-3-1.偏光子の製造方法
上記B-1項に記載の偏光子の製造方法は、長尺状の熱可塑性樹脂基材の片側に、ハロゲン化物とポリビニルアルコール系樹脂(PVA系樹脂)とを含むポリビニルアルコール系樹脂層(PVA系樹脂層)を形成して積層体とすること、および、積層体に、空中補助延伸処理と、染色処理と、水中延伸処理と、長手方向に搬送しながら加熱することにより幅方向に2%以上収縮させる乾燥収縮処理と、をこの順に施すことを含む。PVA系樹脂層におけるハロゲン化物の含有量は、好ましくは、PVA系樹脂100重量部に対して5重量部~20重量部である。乾燥収縮処理は、加熱ロールを用いて処理することが好ましく、加熱ロールの温度は、好ましくは、60℃~120℃である。このような製造方法によれば、上記のような偏光子を得ることができる。特に、ハロゲン化物を含むPVA系樹脂層を含む積層体を作製し、上記積層体の延伸を空中補助延伸及び水中延伸を含む多段階延伸とし、延伸後の積層体を加熱ロールで加熱することにより、優れた光学特性(代表的には、単体透過率および偏光度)を有するとともに、光学特性のバラつきが抑制された偏光子を得ることができる。具体的には、乾燥収縮処理工程において加熱ロールを用いることにより、積層体を搬送しながら、積層体全体に亘って均一に収縮することができる。これにより、得られる偏光子の光学特性を高めることができるだけでなく、光学特性に優れる偏光子を安定して生産することができ、偏光子の光学特性(特に、単体透過率)のバラつきを抑制することができる。以下、ハロゲン化物および乾燥収縮処理について説明する。これら以外の製造方法の詳細については、例えば特開2012-73580号公報に記載されている。当該公報は、その全体の記載が本明細書に参考として援用される。
ハロゲン化物とPVA系樹脂とを含むPVA系樹脂層は、ハロゲン化物とPVA系樹脂とを含む塗布液を熱可塑性樹脂基材上に塗布し、塗布膜を乾燥することにより形成され得る。塗布液は、代表的には、上記ハロゲン化物および上記PVA系樹脂を溶媒に溶解させた溶液である。溶媒としては、例えば、水、ジメチルスルホキシド、ジメチルホルムアミド、ジメチルアセトアミド、N-メチルピロリドン、各種グリコール類、トリメチロールプロパン等の多価アルコール類、エチレンジアミン、ジエチレントリアミン等のアミン類が挙げられる。これらは単独で、または、二種以上組み合わせて用いることができる。これらの中でも、好ましくは、水である。溶液のPVA系樹脂濃度は、溶媒100重量部に対して、好ましくは3重量部~20重量部である。このような樹脂濃度であれば、熱可塑性樹脂基材に密着した均一な塗布膜を形成することができる。
乾燥収縮処理は、ゾーン全体を加熱して行うゾーン加熱により行ってもよいし、搬送ロールを加熱する(いわゆる加熱ロールを用いる)ことにより行う(加熱ロール乾燥方式)こともできる。好ましくは、その両方を用いる。加熱ロールを用いて乾燥させることにより、効率的に積層体の加熱カールを抑制して、外観に優れた偏光子を製造することができる。具体的には、加熱ロールに積層体を沿わせた状態で乾燥することにより、上記熱可塑性樹脂基材の結晶化を効率的に促進させて結晶化度を増加させることができ、比較的低い乾燥温度であっても、熱可塑性樹脂基材の結晶化度を良好に増加させることができる。その結果、熱可塑性樹脂基材は、その剛性が増加して、乾燥によるPVA系樹脂層の収縮に耐え得る状態となり、カールが抑制される。また、加熱ロールを用いることにより、積層体を平らな状態に維持しながら乾燥できるので、カールだけでなくシワの発生も抑制することができる。この時、積層体は、乾燥収縮処理により幅方向に収縮させることにより、光学特性を向上させることができる。PVAおよびPVA/ヨウ素錯体の配向性を効果的に高めることができるからである。乾燥収縮処理による積層体の幅方向の収縮率は、好ましくは2%~10%であり、より好ましくは2%~8%であり、特に好ましくは4%~6%である。加熱ロールを用いることにより、積層体を搬送しながら連続的に幅方向に収縮させることができ、高い生産性を実現することができる。
上記B-3-1項で得られた積層体表面に、アクリル系樹脂の有機溶媒溶液を塗布して塗布膜を形成し、当該塗布膜を固化させることにより保護層が形成される。
C-1.単一層で構成される位相差層
位相差層が単一層で構成される場合、当該位相差層は、上記のとおり、Re(550)が例えば100nm~190nmであり、位相差層40の遅相軸と偏光子10の吸収軸とのなす角度が例えば40°~50°である。位相差層は、代表的には偏光板に反射防止特性を付与するために設けられ、1つの実施形態においてはλ/4板として機能し得る。位相差層は、上記のとおり、樹脂フィルムであってもよく液晶化合物の配向固化層であってもよい。
位相差層が樹脂フィルムである場合、当該樹脂フィルムは代表的には延伸フィルムである。この場合、位相差層の厚みは、好ましくは60μm以下であり、より好ましくは30μm~55μmである。位相差層の厚みがこのような範囲であれば、加熱時のカールを良好に抑制しつつ、貼り合わせ時のカールを良好に調整することができる。
位相差層が液晶化合物の配向固化層である場合、液晶化合物を用いることにより、得られる位相差層のnxとnyとの差を非液晶材料に比べて格段に大きくすることができるので、所望の面内位相差を得るための位相差層の厚みを格段に小さくすることができる。その結果、位相差層付偏光板のさらなる薄型化を実現することができる。本明細書において「配向固化層」とは、液晶化合物が層内で所定の方向に配向し、その配向状態が固定されている層をいう。なお、「配向固化層」は、後述のように液晶モノマーを硬化させて得られる配向硬化層を包含する概念である。本実施形態においては、代表的には、棒状の液晶化合物が位相差層の遅相軸方向に並んだ状態で配向している(ホモジニアス配向)。
上記のとおり、位相差層40が単一層で構成される場合には、好ましくは別の位相差層が設けられる。別の位相差層は、上記のとおり、屈折率特性がnz>nx=nyの関係を示す、いわゆるポジティブCプレートであり得る。別の位相差層としてポジティブCプレートを用いることにより、斜め方向の反射を良好に防止することができ、反射防止機能の広視野角化が可能となる。この場合、別の位相差層の厚み方向の位相差Rth(550)は、好ましくは-50nm~-300nm、より好ましくは-70nm~-250nm、さらに好ましくは-90nm~-200nm、特に好ましくは-100nm~-180nmである。ここで、「nx=ny」は、nxとnyが厳密に等しい場合のみならず、nxとnyが実質的に等しい場合も包含する。すなわち、別の位相差層の面内位相差Re(550)は10nm未満であり得る。
位相差層40が位相差層は第1層41と第2層42との積層構造を有する場合、第1層41および第2層42のいずれか一方がλ/4板として機能し、他方がλ/2板として機能し得る。例えば、第1層41がλ/2板として機能し、第2層42がλ/4板として機能する場合、第1層の面内位相差Re(550)は、上記のとおり例えば200nm~300nmであり、好ましくは230nm~290nmであり、より好ましくは250nm~280nmである。第2層の面内位相差Re(550)は、上記のとおり例えば100nm~190nmであり、好ましくは110nm~170nmであり、より好ましくは130nm~160nmである。第1層の遅相軸と偏光子の吸収軸とのなす角度は、上記のとおり例えば10°~20°であり、好ましくは12°~18°であり、より好ましくは約15°である。第2層の遅相軸と偏光子の吸収軸とのなす角度は、上記のとおり例えば70°~80°であり、好ましくは72°~78°であり、より好ましくは約75°である。このような構成であれば、理想的な逆波長分散特性に近い特性を得ることが可能であり、結果として、非常に優れた反射防止特性を実現することができる。
導電層は、任意の適切な成膜方法(例えば、真空蒸着法、スパッタリング法、CVD法、イオンプレーティング法、スプレー法等)により、任意の適切な基材上に、金属酸化物膜を成膜して形成され得る。金属酸化物としては、例えば、酸化インジウム、酸化スズ、酸化亜鉛、インジウム-スズ複合酸化物、スズ-アンチモン複合酸化物、亜鉛-アルミニウム複合酸化物、インジウム-亜鉛複合酸化物が挙げられる。なかでも好ましくは、インジウム-スズ複合酸化物(ITO)である。

なお、上記Ts、TpおよびTcは、JIS Z 8701の2度視野(C光源)により測定し、視感度補正を行ったY値である。また、TsおよびPは、実質的には偏光子の特性である。
次に、位相差層付偏光板を85℃および85%RHのオーブン内で48時間放置して加熱加湿し(加熱試験)、加熱試験前の単体透過率Ts0および加熱試験後の単体透過率Ts48から、下記式を用いて単体透過率変化量ΔTsを求めた。

1.偏光子/樹脂基材の積層体の作製
樹脂基材として、長尺状で、吸水率0.75%、Tg約75℃である、非晶質のイソフタル共重合ポリエチレンテレフタレートフィルム(厚み:100μm)を用いた。樹脂基材の片面に、コロナ処理を施した。

次いで、液温30℃の染色浴(水100重量部に対して、ヨウ素とヨウ化カリウムを1:7の重量比で配合して得られたヨウ素水溶液)に、最終的に得られる偏光子の単体透過率(Ts)が41.5%±0.1%となるように濃度を調整しながら60秒間浸漬させた(染色処理)。
次いで、液温40℃の架橋浴(水100重量部に対して、ヨウ化カリウムを3重量部配合し、ホウ酸を5重量部配合して得られたホウ酸水溶液)に30秒間浸漬させた(架橋処理)。
その後、積層体を、液温70℃のホウ酸水溶液(ホウ酸濃度4.0重量%)に浸漬させながら、周速の異なるロール間で縦方向(長手方向)に総延伸倍率が5.5倍となるように一軸延伸を行った(水中延伸処理)。
その後、積層体を液温20℃の洗浄浴(水100重量部に対して、ヨウ化カリウムを4重量部配合して得られた水溶液)に浸漬させた(洗浄処理)。

紫外線硬化型エポキシ系樹脂(ダイセル社製、製品名「セロキサイド2021P」)を用いたこと以外は実施例1と同様にして保護層(硬化物)を形成した。具体的には、当該エポキシ系樹脂95重量%および光重合開始剤(CPI-100P、サンアプロ社製)5重量%を配合した組成物を偏光子上に塗布し、空気雰囲気下で高圧水銀ランプを用いて積算光量500mJ/cm2で紫外線を照射し、硬化層(保護層)を形成した。保護層の厚みは3μmであり、Tgは95℃であり、ヨウ素吸着量は9重量%であった。この保護層を用いたこと以外は実施例1と同様にして位相差層付偏光板を作製した。得られた位相差層付偏光板を実施例1と同様の評価に供した。結果を表1に示す。
水系ポリエステル系樹脂(日本合成化学社製、製品名「ポリエスターWR905」)を用いたこと以外は実施例1と同様にして保護層(塗布膜の固化物)を形成した。保護層の厚みは3μmであり、ヨウ素吸着量は12重量%であった。この保護層を用いたこと以外は実施例1と同様にして位相差層付偏光板を作製した。得られた位相差層付偏光板を色抜けの評価に供したところ不良(「全抜け」)であったので、単体透過率および偏光度の評価は行わなかった。結果を表1に示す。
水系ポリウレタン系樹脂(第一工業製薬社製、製品名「スーパーフレックスSF210」)を用いたこと以外は実施例1と同様にして保護層(塗布膜の固化物)を形成した。保護層の厚みは3μmであり、Tgは107℃であり、ヨウ素吸着量は19重量%であった。この保護層を用いたこと以外は実施例1と同様にして位相差層付偏光板を作製した。得られた位相差層付偏光板を色抜けの評価に供したところ不良(「全抜け」)であったので、単体透過率および偏光度の評価は行わなかった。結果を表1に示す。
水系ポリウレタン系樹脂(ユニチカ社製、製品名「アローベースSE1200」)を用いたこと以外は実施例1と同様にして保護層(塗布膜の固化物)を形成した。保護層の厚みは3μmであり、ヨウ素吸着量は15重量%であった。この保護層を用いたこと以外は実施例1と同様にして位相差層付偏光板を作製した。得られた位相差層付偏光板を色抜けの評価に供したところ不良(「全抜け」)であったので、単体透過率および偏光度の評価は行わなかった。結果を表1に示す。
表1から明らかなように、本発明の実施例の位相差層付偏光板は、非常に薄いにもかかわらず、加熱加湿環境下においても光学特性の低下が抑制され、耐久性に優れているとともに、保護層形成後の収縮が起こらず、実用に耐え得る位相差層付偏光板である。さらに、本発明の実施例の位相差層付偏光板は、加湿試験後の正面反射率が非常に小さく、良好な反射防止特性を示した。これは、例えば有機EL表示装置のような金属層を有する画像表示装置に適用した場合に当該金属層による外光の映り込みを防止する効果があることを示している。
