In addition, by subjecting the polarizing film (primary polarizing film) in a state of being highly oriented and having a stabilized appearance through stretching treatment in boric acid solution and drying treatment to contact with an aqueous solvent, the degree of polarization is excessively lowered and wrinkles are formed. It is possible to suitably adjust the transmittance while avoiding the generation, dissolution, etc. of
一次偏光膜を得る工程においては、PVA系樹脂膜を染色処理およびホウ酸水中延伸処理に供した後に、水分率が15重量%以下となるまで乾燥させて、一次偏光膜を得る。一次偏光膜は、単層のPVA系樹脂膜を用いて作製されてもよく、PVA系樹脂層(PVA系樹脂膜)を含む二層以上の積層体を用いて作製されてもよい。二層以上の積層体を用いて作製された一次偏光膜は、水性溶媒との接触後においても、シワ等の発生を回避しつつ、優れた光学特性(代表的には、単体透過率および偏光度)を好適に維持し得る。 A-1. Step of obtaining the primary polarizing film In the step of obtaining the primary polarizing film, the PVA-based resin film is subjected to dyeing treatment and stretching treatment in boric acid solution, and then dried until the moisture content becomes 15% by weight or less. get The primary polarizing film may be produced using a single-layer PVA-based resin film, or may be produced using a laminate of two or more layers including a PVA-based resin layer (PVA-based resin film). A primary polarizing film produced using a laminate of two or more layers avoids the occurrence of wrinkles and the like even after contact with an aqueous solvent, and exhibits excellent optical properties (typically, single transmittance and polarization degree) can be suitably maintained.
二層以上の積層体を用いた一次偏光膜の作製は、例えば、ハロゲン化物とPVA系樹脂とを含むPVA系樹脂膜を、長尺状の熱可塑性樹脂基材との積層体の状態で、空中補助延伸処理、染色処理、ホウ酸水溶液中での延伸処理および乾燥収縮処理にこの順に供することを含む方法によって行われ得る。熱可塑性樹脂基材とPVA系樹脂膜との積層体は、例えば、長尺状の熱可塑性樹脂基材の片側に、ハロゲン化物とPVA系樹脂とを含むPVA系樹脂層(PVA系樹脂膜)を形成して積層体とすることによって得られる。乾燥収縮処理は、例えば、該長尺状の熱可塑性樹脂基材とPVA系樹脂膜との積層体を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%以上収縮させるとともに、該PVA系樹脂膜の水分率が15重量%以下となるまで乾燥させることを含む。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、PVA系樹脂の配向度が高く、優れた光学特性を有する一次偏光膜を得ることができる。 A-1-1. Production of a primary polarizing film using a laminate of two or more layers The production of a primary polarizing film using a laminate of two or more layers is, for example, a PVA-based resin film containing a halide and a PVA-based resin that is formed into a long shape. In the state of a laminate with a thermoplastic resin substrate, it can be subjected to an auxiliary stretching treatment in air, a dyeing treatment, a stretching treatment in an aqueous boric acid solution, and a drying shrinkage treatment in this order. A laminate of a thermoplastic resin substrate and a PVA-based resin film includes, for example, a PVA-based resin layer (PVA-based resin film) containing a halide and a PVA-based resin on one side of a long thermoplastic resin substrate. is obtained by forming a laminate. In the drying shrinkage treatment, for example, the laminate of the long thermoplastic resin substrate and the PVA-based resin film is heated while being transported in the longitudinal direction, thereby shrinking the laminate by 2% or more in the width direction, and the PVA-based resin film. It includes drying until the moisture content of the system resin film becomes 15% by weight or less. The content of the halide in the PVA-based resin layer is preferably 5 to 20 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of the PVA-based resin. The drying shrinkage treatment is preferably performed using a heating roll, and the temperature of the heating roll is preferably 60°C to 120°C. According to such a manufacturing method, it is possible to obtain a primary polarizing film having a high degree of orientation of the PVA-based resin and excellent optical properties.
熱可塑性樹脂基材とPVA系樹脂層との積層体を作製する方法としては、任意の適切な方法が採用され得る。好ましくは、熱可塑性樹脂基材の表面に、ハロゲン化物とPVA系樹脂とを含む塗布液を塗布し、乾燥することにより、熱可塑性樹脂基材上にPVA系樹脂層を形成する。上記のとおり、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。 A-1-1-1. Production of Laminate Any appropriate method can be adopted as a method for producing a laminate of a thermoplastic resin substrate and a PVA-based resin layer. Preferably, a coating liquid containing a halide and a PVA-based resin is applied to the surface of the thermoplastic resin substrate and dried to form a PVA-based resin layer on the thermoplastic resin substrate. As described above, the content of the halide in the PVA-based resin layer is preferably 5 to 20 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of the PVA-based resin.
特に、高い光学特性を得るためには、乾式延伸(補助延伸)とホウ酸水中延伸を組み合わせる、2段延伸の方法が選択される。2段延伸のように、補助延伸を導入することにより、熱可塑性樹脂基材の結晶化を抑制しながら延伸することができ、後のホウ酸水中延伸において熱可塑性樹脂基材の過度の結晶化により延伸性が低下するという問題を解決し、積層体をより高倍率に延伸することができる。さらには、熱可塑性樹脂基材上にPVA系樹脂を塗布する場合、熱可塑性樹脂基材のガラス転移温度の影響を抑制するために、通常の金属ドラム上にPVA系樹脂を塗布する場合と比べて塗布温度を低くする必要があり、その結果、PVA系樹脂の結晶化が相対的に低くなり、十分な光学特性が得られない、という問題が生じ得る。これに対して、補助延伸を導入することにより、熱可塑性樹脂基材上にPVA系樹脂を塗布する場合でも、PVA系樹脂の結晶性を高めることが可能となり、高い光学特性を達成することが可能となる。また、同時にPVA系樹脂の配向性を事前に高めることで、後の染色処理や延伸処理で水に浸漬された時に、PVA系樹脂の配向性の低下や溶解などの問題を防止することができ、高い光学特性を達成することが可能になる。 A-1-1-2. Aerial Auxiliary Stretching In order to obtain particularly high optical properties, a two-stage stretching method combining dry stretching (auxiliary stretching) and stretching in boric acid solution is selected. By introducing auxiliary stretching, such as two-step stretching, it is possible to stretch while suppressing crystallization of the thermoplastic resin substrate, and excessive crystallization of the thermoplastic resin substrate in the subsequent stretching in boric acid water. It is possible to solve the problem that stretchability is reduced by stretching, and stretch the laminate at a higher magnification. Furthermore, when applying the PVA-based resin on the thermoplastic resin substrate, in order to suppress the influence of the glass transition temperature of the thermoplastic resin substrate, compared to the case of applying the PVA-based resin on a normal metal drum As a result, the crystallization of the PVA-based resin becomes relatively low, which may cause a problem that sufficient optical properties cannot be obtained. On the other hand, by introducing auxiliary stretching, it is possible to increase the crystallinity of the PVA-based resin even when the PVA-based resin is applied onto a thermoplastic resin substrate, thereby achieving high optical properties. It becomes possible. At the same time, by increasing the orientation of the PVA-based resin in advance, it is possible to prevent problems such as deterioration of the orientation and dissolution of the PVA-based resin when it is immersed in water in the subsequent dyeing treatment or stretching treatment. , making it possible to achieve high optical properties.

である。 The stretching temperature for the in-air auxiliary stretching can be set to any appropriate value depending on the material for forming the thermoplastic resin base material, the stretching method, and the like. The stretching temperature is preferably the glass transition temperature (Tg) of the thermoplastic resin substrate or higher, more preferably the glass transition temperature (Tg) of the thermoplastic resin substrate + 10°C or higher, and particularly preferably Tg + 15°C or higher. On the other hand, the upper limit of the stretching temperature is preferably 170°C. By stretching at such a temperature, it is possible to suppress rapid crystallization of the PVA-based resin and suppress problems caused by the crystallization (for example, hindrance of orientation of the PVA-based resin layer due to stretching). can. The crystallization index of the PVA-based resin after auxiliary stretching in air is preferably 1.3 to 1.8, more preferably 1.4 to 1.7. The crystallization index of the PVA-based resin can be measured by the ATR method using a Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometer. Specifically, measurement is performed using polarized light as measurement light, and the crystallization index is calculated according to the following formula using the intensities at 1141 cm −1 and 1440 cm −1 of the obtained spectrum.

必要に応じて、空中補助延伸処理の後、水中延伸処理や染色処理の前に、不溶化処理を施す。上記不溶化処理は、代表的には、ホウ酸水溶液にPVA系樹脂層を浸漬することにより行う。不溶化処理を施すことにより、PVA系樹脂層に耐水性を付与し、水に浸漬した時のPVAの配向低下を防止することができる。当該ホウ酸水溶液の濃度は、水100重量部に対して、好ましくは1重量部~4重量部である。不溶化浴(ホウ酸水溶液)の液温は、好ましくは20℃~50℃である。 A-1-1-3. Insolubilization Treatment If necessary, an insolubilization treatment is performed after the auxiliary stretching treatment in the air and before the stretching treatment in water or the dyeing treatment. The insolubilization treatment is typically performed by immersing the PVA-based resin layer in an aqueous boric acid solution. The insolubilization treatment imparts water resistance to the PVA-based resin layer, and prevents deterioration of the orientation of the PVA when immersed in water. The concentration of the boric acid aqueous solution is preferably 1 to 4 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of water. The liquid temperature of the insolubilizing bath (boric acid aqueous solution) is preferably 20°C to 50°C.
上記染色処理は、代表的には、PVA系樹脂層を二色性物質(代表的には、ヨウ素)で染色することにより行う。具体的には、PVA系樹脂層にヨウ素を吸着させることにより行う。当該吸着方法としては、例えば、ヨウ素を含む染色液にPVA系樹脂層(積層体)を浸漬させる方法、PVA系樹脂層に当該染色液を塗工する方法、当該染色液をPVA系樹脂層に噴霧する方法等が挙げられる。好ましくは、染色液(染色浴)に積層体を浸漬させる方法である。ヨウ素が良好に吸着し得るからである。 A-1-1-4. Dyeing Treatment The dyeing treatment is typically performed by dyeing the PVA-based resin layer with a dichroic substance (typically iodine). Specifically, it is carried out by allowing the PVA-based resin layer to adsorb iodine. Examples of the adsorption method include a method of immersing the PVA-based resin layer (laminate) in a dyeing solution containing iodine, a method of coating the PVA-based resin layer with the dyeing solution, and a method of applying the dyeing solution to the PVA-based resin layer. A spraying method and the like can be mentioned. A preferred method is to immerse the laminate in a dyeing solution (dyeing bath). This is because iodine can be well adsorbed.
必要に応じて、染色処理の後、水中延伸処理の前に、架橋処理を施す。上記架橋処理は、代表的には、ホウ酸水溶液にPVA系樹脂層を浸漬させることにより行う。架橋処理を施すことにより、PVA系樹脂層に耐水性を付与し、後の水中延伸で、高温の水中へ浸漬した際のPVAの配向低下を防止することができる。当該ホウ酸水溶液の濃度は、水100重量部に対して、好ましくは1重量部~5重量部である。また、上記染色処理後に架橋処理を行う場合、さらに、ヨウ化物を配合することが好ましい。ヨウ化物を配合することにより、PVA系樹脂層に吸着させたヨウ素の溶出を抑制することができる。ヨウ化物の配合量は、水100重量部に対して、好ましくは1重量部~5重量部である。ヨウ化物の具体例は、上述のとおりである。架橋浴(ホウ酸水溶液)の液温は、好ましくは20℃~50℃である。 A-1-1-5. Crosslinking Treatment If necessary, a crosslinking treatment is applied after the dyeing treatment and before the underwater stretching treatment. The cross-linking treatment is typically performed by immersing the PVA-based resin layer in an aqueous solution of boric acid. The cross-linking treatment imparts water resistance to the PVA-based resin layer, and prevents deterioration of the orientation of the PVA when immersed in high-temperature water in the subsequent underwater stretching. The concentration of the boric acid aqueous solution is preferably 1 to 5 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of water. Moreover, when cross-linking treatment is carried out after the dyeing treatment, it is preferable to further add an iodide. By blending iodide, elution of iodine adsorbed on the PVA-based resin layer can be suppressed. The amount of iodide compounded is preferably 1 to 5 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of water. Specific examples of iodides are as described above. The liquid temperature of the cross-linking bath (boric acid aqueous solution) is preferably 20°C to 50°C.
水中延伸処理は、積層体を延伸浴に浸漬させて行う。水中延伸処理によれば、上記熱可塑性樹脂基材やPVA系樹脂層のガラス転移温度(代表的には、80℃程度)よりも低い温度で延伸し得、PVA系樹脂層を、その結晶化を抑えながら、高倍率に延伸することができる。その結果、優れた光学特性を有する偏光膜を製造することができる。 A-1-1-6. Underwater Stretching Treatment Underwater stretching treatment is performed by immersing the laminate in a stretching bath. According to the underwater stretching treatment, the thermoplastic resin substrate and the PVA-based resin layer can be stretched at a temperature lower than the glass transition temperature (typically, about 80° C.), and the PVA-based resin layer undergoes its crystallization. can be stretched at a high magnification while suppressing the As a result, a polarizing film having excellent optical properties can be produced.
上記乾燥収縮処理は、例えば、該長尺状の熱可塑性樹脂基材とPVA系樹脂膜との積層体を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%以上収縮させるとともに、該PVA系樹脂膜の水分率が15重量%以下となるまで乾燥させることを含む。安定した外観を得る観点から、水分率が12重量%以下、より好ましくは10重量%以下、さらに好ましくは1重量%~5重量%となるまで乾燥させることが好ましい。 A-1-1-7. Dry shrinkage treatment In the dry shrinkage treatment, for example, the laminate of the long thermoplastic resin substrate and the PVA-based resin film is heated while being transported in the longitudinal direction, thereby shrinking the laminate by 2% or more in the width direction. and drying until the water content of the PVA-based resin film becomes 15% by weight or less. From the viewpoint of obtaining a stable appearance, it is preferable to dry to a moisture content of 12% by weight or less, more preferably 10% by weight or less, and even more preferably 1% to 5% by weight.
好ましくは、水中延伸処理の後、乾燥収縮処理の前に、洗浄処理を施す。上記洗浄処理は、代表的には、ヨウ化カリウム水溶液にPVA系樹脂層を浸漬させることにより行う。 A-1-1-8. Other Treatments Preferably, a washing treatment is performed after the underwater stretching treatment and before the drying shrinkage treatment. The cleaning treatment is typically performed by immersing the PVA-based resin layer in an aqueous solution of potassium iodide.
単層のPVA系樹脂膜を用いた一次偏光膜の作製は、自己支持性を有する(すなわち、基材による支持を必要としない)長尺状のPVA系樹脂膜を染色およびホウ酸水中延伸(代表的には、ロール延伸機による一軸延伸)し、次いで、水分率が15重量%以下、好ましくは12重量%以下、より好ましくは10重量%以下、さらに好ましくは1重量%~5重量%となるまで乾燥させることによって行われ得る。上記染色は、例えば、PVA系樹脂膜をヨウ素水溶液に浸漬することにより行われる。上記一軸延伸の延伸倍率は、好ましくは3~7倍である。延伸は、染色処理後に行ってもよいし、染色しながら行ってもよい。また、延伸してから染色してもよい。必要に応じて、PVA系樹脂膜に、膨潤処理、架橋処理、洗浄処理等が施される。例えば、染色の前にPVA系樹脂膜を水に浸漬して水洗することで、PVA系樹脂膜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だけでなく、PVA系樹脂膜を膨潤させて染色ムラ等を防止することができる。 A-1-2. Production of primary polarizing film using single-layer PVA-based resin film Production of a primary polarizing film using a single-layer PVA-based resin film is self-supporting (that is, does not require support by a substrate). A strip-shaped PVA-based resin film is dyed and stretched in boric acid water (typically, uniaxially stretched by a roll stretching machine), and then the water content is 15% by weight or less, preferably 12% by weight or less, more preferably 10% by weight. This can be done by drying to a weight % or less, more preferably 1 to 5 weight %. The dyeing is performed by, for example, immersing the PVA-based resin film in an iodine aqueous solution. The draw ratio of the uniaxial drawing is preferably 3 to 7 times. Stretching may be performed after the dyeing treatment, or may be performed while dyeing. Moreover, you may dye after extending|stretching. If necessary, the PVA-based resin film is subjected to swelling treatment, cross-linking treatment, washing treatment, and the like. For example, by immersing the PVA-based resin film in water and washing it with water before dyeing, it is possible not only to wash away stains and anti-blocking agents on the surface of the PVA-based resin film, but also to swell the PVA-based resin film for dyeing. Unevenness and the like can be prevented.

The transmittance of the primary polarizing film (single transmittance: Ts) is preferably 41.5% or more, more preferably 42.0% or more, still more preferably 42.5% or more. On the other hand, the transmittance of the primary polarizing film is preferably 46.0% or less, more preferably 45.0% or less. The degree of polarization of the primary polarizing film is preferably 98.0% or more, more preferably 99.0% or more, still more preferably 99.9% or more. On the other hand, the degree of polarization of the primary polarizing film is preferably 99.998% or less. The transmittance is typically a Y value measured using an ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometer and subjected to visibility correction. The degree of polarization is typically obtained by the following formula based on the parallel transmittance Tp and the orthogonal transmittance Tc measured using an ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometer and subjected to visibility correction.
Degree of polarization (%) = {(Tp-Tc)/(Tp+Tc)} 1/2 × 100
C=R1-R0
R0=((1.50-1)2/(1.50+1)2)×(T1/100)
R1=((n1-1)2/(n1+1)2)×(T1/100)
ここで、R0は、屈折率が1.50である保護層を用いた場合の透過軸反射率であり、n1は使用する保護層の屈折率であり、T1は偏光膜の透過率である。例えば、表面屈折率が1.53である基材(シクロオレフィン系フィルム、ハードコート層付きフィルムなど)を保護層として用いる場合、補正量Cは約0.2%となる。この場合、測定により得られた透過率に0.2%を加算することで、表面の屈折率が1.53である偏光膜を屈折率が1.50である保護層を用いた場合の透過率に換算することが可能である。なお、上記式に基づく計算によれば、偏光膜の透過率T1を2%変化させたときの補正値Cの変化量は0.03%以下であり、偏光膜の透過率が補正値Cの値に与える影響は限定的である。また、保護層が表面反射以外の吸収を有する場合は、吸収量に応じて適切な補正を行うことができる。 In one embodiment, the transmittance of a thin polarizing film of 12 μm or less is typically the polarizing film (surface refractive index: 1.53) and the protective layer (protective film) (refractive index: 1.50 ) is measured using an ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometer. Depending on the refractive index of the surface of the polarizing film and/or the refractive index of the protective layer contacting the air interface, the reflectance at each layer interface may change, resulting in a change in the measured transmittance. . Thus, for example, if a protective layer with a refractive index other than 1.50 is used, the transmittance measurements may be corrected according to the refractive index of the surface of the protective layer that is in contact with the air interface. Specifically, the transmittance correction value C is expressed by the following formula using the reflectance R 1 (transmission axis reflectance) of polarized light parallel to the transmission axis at the interface between the protective layer and the air layer.
C=R 1 -R 0
R 0 = ((1.50−1) 2 /(1.50+1) 2 )×(T 1 /100)
R 1 = ((n 1 −1) 2 /(n 1 +1) 2 )×(T 1 /100)
Here, R 0 is the transmission axis reflectance when a protective layer having a refractive index of 1.50 is used, n 1 is the refractive index of the protective layer used, and T 1 is the transmittance of the polarizing film. is. For example, when a substrate having a surface refractive index of 1.53 (a cycloolefin film, a film with a hard coat layer, etc.) is used as the protective layer, the correction amount C is approximately 0.2%. In this case, by adding 0.2% to the transmittance obtained by the measurement, the transmittance when using a polarizing film with a surface refractive index of 1.53 and a protective layer with a refractive index of 1.50 It is possible to convert to a rate. According to the calculation based on the above formula, the amount of change in the correction value C when the transmittance T1 of the polarizing film is changed by 2 % is 0.03% or less, and the transmittance of the polarizing film is equal to the correction value C has a limited effect on the value of Moreover, when the protective layer has absorption other than surface reflection, appropriate correction can be performed according to the amount of absorption.

Step of Obtaining Secondary Polarizing Film In the step of obtaining the secondary polarizing film, the surface of the primary polarizing film is brought into contact with an aqueous solvent to change the transmittance of the primary polarizing film.

Further, for example, any suitable layer (protective layer, retardation layer, adhesive layer, etc.) is laminated on the exposed surface of the finally obtained polarizing film (e.g., secondary polarizing film) to protect the exposed surface. can include the step of
