- the optical film according to Comparative Example 1 had a low pencil hardness due to a low blending ratio of (meth)acrylic monomer.
- the optical film according to Comparative Example 2 had large curls and low flexibility due to the large blending ratio of the (meth)acrylic monomer.
- the optical film according to Comparative Example 3 had a low pencil hardness due to the high blending ratio of the thiol compound.
- the optical film according to Comparative Example 4 had large curls and low flexibility because the (meth)acrylic polymer and thiol compound were not blended.
- the optical film according to Comparative Example 5 had low pencil hardness because it did not contain a (meth)acrylic monomer.

- the optical film according to Comparative Example 10 had low pencil hardness due to the use of a bifunctional (meth)acrylic monomer.
- the optical film according to Comparative Example 11 had increased curl and decreased flexibility due to the use of a low molecular weight polymerizable compound instead of the (meth)acrylic polymer. This is considered to be because a long chain (meth)acrylic polymer was not blended into the composition for forming the hard coat layer, so a polymer network serving as a skeleton was not formed.
- the optical film according to Comparative Example 12 had a low pencil hardness due to the use of a polymerizable compound with a molecular weight of 100,000 as the (meth)acrylic polymer. This is considered to be because the molecular weight of the (meth)acrylic polymer used was too large, which deteriorated the compatibility of the composition for forming a hard coat layer, resulting in unevenness of each component.
- the optical film according to Comparative Example 13 had a reduced pencil hardness due to the thin film thickness of the hard coat layer.
- the optical film according to Comparative Example 14 had large curls and low flexibility due to the thick hard coat layer.
- the present invention can be used for optical films used in image display devices.

例えば、特許文献1には、透明基材の片面または両面に、(メタ)アクリレート末端基を有するデンドリマー化合物、(メタ)アクリレート末端基を有する多面体オリゴマーシルセスキオキサン化合物、光開始剤及び溶剤を含む組成物を用いてコーティング層を形成したハードコーティングフィルムが記載されている。
For example, Patent Document 1 discloses that a dendrimer compound having a (meth)acrylate end group, a polyhedral oligomer silsesquioxane compound having a (meth)acrylate end group, a photoinitiator, and a solvent are coated on one or both sides of a transparent substrate. A hard coating film is described in which a coating layer is formed using a composition comprising:
特許文献2には、多官能アクリレート系モノマー、アクリレート系オリゴマー、アクリレート系弾性高分子及び光開始剤を含有する樹脂組成物を硬化させて形成した偏光子保護フィルムが記載されている。
Patent Document 2 describes a polarizer protective film formed by curing a resin composition containing a polyfunctional acrylate monomer, an acrylate oligomer, an acrylate elastic polymer, and a photoinitiator.

近年、表示画面の大型化と機器サイズの小型化とを両立するため、画像表示装置を折り畳み可能に構成した携帯端末が開発されている。折り畳み可能な画像表示装置に用いる光学フィルムには、硬度が高いことに加え、高い屈曲性が求められる。しかしながら、一般的に、硬度と屈曲性はトレードオフの関係にあり、高硬度材料ほど屈曲性が劣るという問題があった。
In recent years, in order to simultaneously increase the size of the display screen and reduce the size of the device, mobile terminals with foldable image display devices have been developed. Optical films used in foldable image display devices are required to have high flexibility in addition to high hardness. However, there is generally a trade-off relationship between hardness and flexibility, and there has been a problem in that the harder the material is, the worse the flexibility is.
また、樹脂フィルム上にアクリル系樹脂の硬化層を設けた光学フィルムには、硬化時の収縮によりカールが発生する。光学フィルムのカールは高硬度アクリル系材料を使用した場合に強く現れる。高硬度アクリル系材料の一部を低カール性アクリル系材料に置換することも考えられるが、この場合、カールは抑制されるが、硬度が低下するという問題があった。
Further, in an optical film in which a cured layer of acrylic resin is provided on a resin film, curling occurs due to shrinkage during curing. Curling of optical films appears strongly when using high hardness acrylic materials. It is also possible to replace a portion of the high-hardness acrylic material with a low-curl acrylic material, but in this case, although curling is suppressed, there is a problem in that the hardness decreases.
それ故に、本発明は、高屈曲性と高硬度とを有し、カールが低減された光学フィルム及びこれを用いた画像表示装置を提供することを目的とする。
Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide an optical film having high flexibility and high hardness and reduced curling, and an image display device using the same.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below. In this specification, "(meth)acrylate" is a generic term for both acrylate and methacrylate, and "(meth)acryloyl" is a generic term for both acryloyl and methacryloyl. Similarly, "(meth)acrylic" is a generic term for both acrylic and methacrylic.
図1は、実施形態に係る光学フィルムの概略構成を示す断面図である。
FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view showing a schematic configuration of an optical film according to an embodiment.
光学フィルム1は、透明基材2と、透明基材2の一方の面に積層されたハードコート層3とを備える。
The optical film 1 includes a transparent base material 2 and a hard coat layer 3 laminated on one surface of the transparent base material 2.
透明基材2は、光学フィルムの基体となるフィルムであり、可視光線の透過性に優れる材料により形成される。透明基材の形成材料としては、トリアセチルセルロース、ポリエチレンナフタレート、ポリエチレンテレフタレート、シクロオレフィンポリマー、ポリカーボネート、ポリアクリレート、ポリイミド及びポリアミド等を利用できる。透明基材2の厚みは特に限定されないが、例えば、10~200μmであることが好ましい。
The transparent base material 2 is a film that serves as the base of the optical film, and is made of a material that has excellent transparency for visible light. As the material for forming the transparent base material, triacetyl cellulose, polyethylene naphthalate, polyethylene terephthalate, cycloolefin polymer, polycarbonate, polyacrylate, polyimide, polyamide, etc. can be used. The thickness of the transparent base material 2 is not particularly limited, but is preferably 10 to 200 μm, for example.
透明基材2の表面には、他の層との密着性を向上させるために、表面改質処理を施しても良い。表面改質処理としては、アルカリ処理、コロナ処理、プラズマ処理、スパッタ処理、界面活性剤やシランカップリング剤等の塗布、Si蒸着等を例示できる。
The surface of the transparent base material 2 may be subjected to surface modification treatment in order to improve adhesion with other layers. Examples of the surface modification treatment include alkali treatment, corona treatment, plasma treatment, sputtering treatment, application of a surfactant or silane coupling agent, Si vapor deposition, and the like.
ハードコート層3は、光学フィルム1に硬度を付与する層である。ハードコート層3は、(A)1分子中に3以上の(メタ)アクリロイル基を有する(メタ)アクリルモノマーと、(B)1分子中に2以上の(メタ)アクリロイル基を有し、重量平均分子量が15000~50000である(メタ)アクリルポリマーと、(C)チオール化合物とを所定の割合で含有する組成物を透明基材2に塗布し、硬化させることによって形成することができる。ハードコート層3の膜厚は、3~20μmであることが好ましい。ハードコート層3の膜厚が3μm未満の場合、ハードコート層3の硬度が不足するため好ましくない。一方、ハードコート層3の厚みが30μmを超える場合、光学フィルム1の屈曲性が低下すると共に、硬化時の収縮によるカールが大きくなるため好ましくない。
The hard coat layer 3 is a layer that imparts hardness to the optical film 1. The hard coat layer 3 consists of (A) a (meth)acrylic monomer having three or more (meth)acryloyl groups in one molecule, and (B) having two or more (meth)acryloyl groups in one molecule; It can be formed by applying a composition containing a (meth)acrylic polymer having an average molecular weight of 15,000 to 50,000 and a (C) thiol compound in a predetermined ratio to the transparent substrate 2 and curing it. The thickness of the hard coat layer 3 is preferably 3 to 20 μm. If the thickness of the hard coat layer 3 is less than 3 μm, the hardness of the hard coat layer 3 will be insufficient, which is not preferable. On the other hand, if the thickness of the hard coat layer 3 exceeds 30 μm, it is not preferable because the flexibility of the optical film 1 decreases and curling due to shrinkage during curing increases.

(メタ)アクリルモノマーは、主として、ハードコート層に硬度を付与する成分である。(メタ)アクリルモノマーとしては、1分子中に3以上の(メタ)アクリロイル基を有する化合物を使用する。2官能以下の(メタ)アクリルモノマーを使用した場合、硬度が十分に発現しない。3官能以上の(メタ)アクリルモノマーの配合割合は、ハードコート層形成用組成物の固形分の60~90質量%とする。3官能以上の(メタ)アクリルモノマーの配合割合が、60質量%未満の場合、ハードコート層の硬度が十分に発現しない可能性がある。一方、3官能以上の(メタ)アクリルモノマーの配合割合が90%を超える場合、カールが強く現れると共に屈曲性が悪化する。 (A) (Meth) Acrylic Monomer The (meth) acrylic monomer is a component that mainly imparts hardness to the hard coat layer. As the (meth)acrylic monomer, a compound having three or more (meth)acryloyl groups in one molecule is used. If a (meth)acrylic monomer with less than two functionalities is used, hardness will not be sufficiently developed. The blending ratio of the trifunctional or higher-functional (meth)acrylic monomer is 60 to 90% by mass of the solid content of the composition for forming a hard coat layer. If the blending ratio of the trifunctional or higher functional (meth)acrylic monomer is less than 60% by mass, the hard coat layer may not exhibit sufficient hardness. On the other hand, if the blending ratio of the trifunctional or higher functional (meth)acrylic monomer exceeds 90%, curling will appear strongly and flexibility will deteriorate.

Examples include polyfunctional (meth)acrylate compounds substituted with .
また、(メタ)アクリルモノマーとして、ウレタン(メタ)アクリレートも使用できる。ウレタン(メタ)アクリレートとしては、例えば、ポリエステルポリオールにイソシアネートモノマー、もしくはプレポリマーを反応させて得られた生成物に水酸基を有する(メタ)アクリレートモノマーを反応させることによって得られるものを挙げることができる。
Additionally, urethane (meth)acrylate can also be used as the (meth)acrylic monomer.

ウレタン(メタ)アクリレートの例としては、ペンタエリスリトールトリアクリレートヘキサメチレンジイソシアネートウレタンプレポリマー、ジペンタエリスリトールペンタアクリレートヘキサメチレンジイソシアネートウレタンプレポリマー、ペンタエリスリトールトリアクリレートトルエンジイソシアネートウレタンプレポリマー、ジペンタエリスリトールペンタアクリレートトルエンジイソシアネートウレタンプレポリマー、ペンタエリスリトールトリアクリレートイソホロンジイソシアネートウレタンプレポリマー、ジペンタエリスリトールペンタアクリレートイソホロンジイソシアネートウレタンプレポリマー等が挙げられる。

(メタ)アクリルモノマーとして、上述した化合物のいずれか1種を用いても良いし、2種以上を組み合わせて用いても良い。
As the (meth)acrylic monomer, any one of the above-mentioned compounds may be used, or two or more thereof may be used in combination.
(メタ)アクリルモノマーの具体例として、例えば、共栄社化学製のライトアクリレートPE-3A(ペンタエリスリトールトリアクリレート)、ライトアクリレートTMP-A(トリメチロールプロパントリアクリレート)、ライトアクリレートDPE-6A(ジペンタエリスリトールヘキサアクリレート)を使用することができる。
Specific examples of (meth)acrylic monomers include light acrylate PE-3A (pentaerythritol triacrylate), light acrylate TMP-A (trimethylolpropane triacrylate), and light acrylate DPE-6A (dipentaerythritol triacrylate) manufactured by Kyoeisha Chemical Co., Ltd. Hexaacrylate) can be used.
(B)(メタ)アクリルポリマー
(メタ)アクリルポリマーは、主として、低カール性と屈曲性を付与する成分である。(メタ)アクリルポリマーとしては、1分子中に2以上の(メタ)アクリロイル基を有し、重量平均分子量が15000~50000である化合物を使用することができる。2官能以上の(メタ)アクリルポリマーは、相互に絡み合ってネットワークを形成する。この(メタ)アクリルポリマーのネットワークがバインダーの骨格となることにより、カールを抑制し、屈曲性を向上させることができる。また、(メタ)アクリルポリマーのネットワークの隙間には、上述した(メタ)アクリルモノマーが入り込み、ポリマー間を架橋する。この結果、重合密度が高まり、硬度が向上する。(メタ)アクリルポリマーの重量平均分子量が15000未満の場合、(メタ)アクリルポリマーが上述したネットワークを十分に構成できず、カール抑止能と屈曲性が低下するため好ましくない。一方、(メタ)アクリルポリマーの重量平均分子量が50000を超える場合、ハードコート層形成用組成物の相溶性が悪化するため好ましくない。 (B) (Meth) Acrylic Polymer The (meth) acrylic polymer is a component that mainly provides low curling properties and flexibility. As the (meth)acrylic polymer, a compound having two or more (meth)acryloyl groups in one molecule and a weight average molecular weight of 15,000 to 50,000 can be used. The (meth)acrylic polymers having two or more functionalities are entangled with each other to form a network. This (meth)acrylic polymer network serves as the skeleton of the binder, thereby suppressing curling and improving flexibility. Furthermore, the above-mentioned (meth)acrylic monomer enters the gaps in the network of (meth)acrylic polymers and crosslinks the polymers. As a result, the polymerization density increases and the hardness improves. When the weight average molecular weight of the (meth)acrylic polymer is less than 15,000, it is not preferable because the (meth)acrylic polymer cannot sufficiently form the above-mentioned network, resulting in a decrease in curl suppression ability and flexibility. On the other hand, when the weight average molecular weight of the (meth)acrylic polymer exceeds 50,000, the compatibility of the composition for forming a hard coat layer deteriorates, which is not preferable.

On the other hand, when the weight average molecular weight of the (meth)acrylic polymer exceeds 50,000, the compatibility of the composition for forming a hard coat layer deteriorates, which is not preferable.
2官能以上の(メタ)アクリルポリマーの配合割合は、ハードコート層形成用組成物の固形分の5~35質量%とする。2官能以上の(メタ)アクリルポリマーの配合割合が5質量%未満の場合、十分な低カール性と屈曲性が得られなくなるため好ましくない。一方、2官能以上の(メタ)アクリルポリマーの配合割合が35質量%を超える場合、ハードコート層の硬度が低下するため好ましくない。
The blending ratio of the (meth)acrylic polymer having two or more functionalities is 5 to 35% by mass of the solid content of the composition for forming a hard coat layer. If the blending ratio of the (meth)acrylic polymer having two or more functionalities is less than 5% by mass, it is not preferable because sufficient low curling properties and flexibility cannot be obtained. On the other hand, if the blending ratio of the (meth)acrylic polymer having two or more functionalities exceeds 35% by mass, it is not preferable because the hardness of the hard coat layer decreases.
(メタ)アクリルポリマーとして、例えば、側鎖に(メタ)アクリロイルと水酸基を有する、共栄社化学製のSMP-250AP(アクリル当量:240~260g/eq、重量平均分子量:20000~30000)、SMP-360AP(アクリル当量:350~370g/eq、重量平均分子量:20000~30000)、SMP-550AP(アクリル当量:540~560g/eq、重量平均分子量:20000~30000)を使用することができる。
Examples of (meth)acrylic polymers include SMP-250AP (acrylic equivalent: 240 to 260 g/eq, weight average molecular weight: 20,000 to 30,000) and SMP-360AP manufactured by Kyoeisha Chemical, which have (meth)acryloyl and hydroxyl groups in the side chains. (acrylic equivalent: 350 to 370 g/eq, weight average molecular weight: 20,000 to 30,000), SMP-550AP (acrylic equivalent: 540 to 560 g/eq, weight average molecular weight: 20,000 to 30,000) can be used.
(C)チオール化合物
チオール化合物は、硬化助剤として働く成分である。チオール化合物の配合割合は、ハードコート層形成用組成物の固形分の0.5~9質量%とする。チオール化合物は、比較的少量の添加により、(メタ)アクリルモノマー及び(メタ)アクリルポリマーの硬化性を高め、ハードコート層の硬度を向上させることができる。チオール化合物は、特に(メタ)アクリルモノマーの硬化性を向上させる。 (C) Thiol compound The thiol compound is a component that acts as a curing aid. The blending ratio of the thiol compound is 0.5 to 9% by mass of the solid content of the composition for forming a hard coat layer. When added in a relatively small amount, the thiol compound can enhance the curability of the (meth)acrylic monomer and (meth)acrylic polymer, and can improve the hardness of the hard coat layer. Thiol compounds particularly improve the curability of (meth)acrylic monomers.

When added in a relatively small amount, the thiol compound can enhance the curability of the (meth)acrylic monomer and (meth)acrylic polymer, and can improve the hardness of the hard coat layer. Thiol compounds particularly improve the curability of (meth)acrylic monomers.
また、チオール化合物の添加により、バインダーマトリックス内にメルカプト基が導入されるため、低カール性及び屈曲性を向上させる。低カール性及び屈曲性を向上させるため、チオール化合物として、一分子中に2以上のメルカプト基を有する化合物を使用することが好ましい。
Additionally, the addition of a thiol compound introduces mercapto groups into the binder matrix, thereby improving low curling properties and flexibility. In order to improve low curl properties and flexibility, it is preferable to use a compound having two or more mercapto groups in one molecule as the thiol compound.
チオール化合物の配合割合が0.5質量%未満の場合、配合割合が少ないことにより、低カール性と屈曲性の向上効果が小さくなるため好ましくない。また、チオール化合物の配合割合が少ない場合、硬化助剤としての機能が不十分となる。一方、チオール化合物の配合割合が9質量%を超える場合、低カール性及び屈曲性は更に良化するが、ハードコート層の硬度が著しく低下するため好ましくない。
If the blending ratio of the thiol compound is less than 0.5% by mass, it is not preferable because the low blending ratio reduces the effect of improving curl resistance and flexibility. Moreover, when the blending ratio of the thiol compound is small, the function as a curing aid becomes insufficient. On the other hand, when the blending ratio of the thiol compound exceeds 9% by mass, the low curling property and flexibility are further improved, but the hardness of the hard coat layer is significantly reduced, which is not preferable.
チオール化合物の具体例として、例えば、昭和電工製のカレンズMT(登録商標)BD-1(1,4-ビス(3-メルカプトブチリルオキシ)ブタン)やカレンズMT(登録商標)PE-1(ペンタエリスリトールテトラキス(3-メルカプトブチレート))を使用することができる。
Specific examples of thiol compounds include, for example, Karenz MT (registered trademark) BD-1 (1,4-bis(3-mercaptobutyryloxy)butane) and Karenz MT (registered trademark) PE-1 (pentafluoride) manufactured by Showa Denko. Erythritol tetrakis (3-mercaptobutyrate)) can be used.
(D)光重合開始剤
ハードコート層形成用組成物には、紫外線による重合硬化を可能とするため、光重合開始剤を添加する。光重合開始剤としては、アセトフェノン系、ベンゾフェノン系、チオキサントン系、ベンゾイン、ベンゾインメチルエーテル等のラジカル重合開始剤を好適に使用することができる。例えば、光重合開始剤として、2,2-エトキシアセトフェノン、1-ヒドロキシシクロヘキシルフェニルケトン、2,2-ジメトキシ-フェニルアセトフェノン、ジベンゾイル、ベンゾイン、ベンゾインメチルエーテル、ベンゾインエチルエーテル、p-クロロベンゾフェノン、p-メトキシベンゾフェノン、ミヒラーケトン、アセトフェノン、2-クロロチオキサントン等を使用できる。これらのうち1種類を単独で使用しても良いし、2種類以上を組み合わせて使用して良い。市販されている光重合開始剤として、例えば、IGM RESIN製のOmnirad 184(1-ヒドロキシシクロヘキシルフェニルケトン)やOmnirad 651(2,2-ジメトキシ-フェニルアセトフェノン)を使用することができる。光重合開始剤の配合割合は、ハードコート層形成用組成物の固形分の0.1~10.0質量%であることが好ましい。 (D) Photopolymerization initiator A photopolymerization initiator is added to the composition for forming a hard coat layer in order to enable polymerization and curing by ultraviolet rays. As the photopolymerization initiator, radical polymerization initiators such as acetophenone, benzophenone, thioxanthone, benzoin, and benzoin methyl ether can be suitably used. For example, as a photopolymerization initiator, 2,2-ethoxyacetophenone, 1-hydroxycyclohexylphenyl ketone, 2,2-dimethoxy-phenylacetophenone, dibenzoyl, benzoin, benzoin methyl ether, benzoin ethyl ether, p-chlorobenzophenone, p- Methoxybenzophenone, Michler's ketone, acetophenone, 2-chlorothioxanthone, etc. can be used. One type of these may be used alone, or two or more types may be used in combination.

表1に、実施例及び比較例に係るハードコート層形性用組成物の組成と、鉛筆硬度、カール及び屈曲性の評価結果を示す。
Table 1 shows the compositions of the compositions for forming hard coat layers according to Examples and Comparative Examples, and the evaluation results of pencil hardness, curling, and flexibility.
表1に示すように、実施例1~6に係る光学フィルムは、鉛筆硬度、カール及び屈曲性のいずれも○以上の評価であり、鉛筆硬度、カール及び屈曲性の全てが良好であった。
As shown in Table 1, the optical films according to Examples 1 to 6 were evaluated as ○ or higher in pencil hardness, curl, and flexibility, and were all good in pencil hardness, curl, and flexibility.
比較例1に係る光学フィルムは、(メタ)アクリルモノマーの配合割合が少ないことにより、鉛筆硬度が低くなった。
The optical film according to Comparative Example 1 had a low pencil hardness due to a low blending ratio of (meth)acrylic monomer.
比較例2に係る光学フィルムは、(メタ)アクリルモノマーの配合割合が多いことにより、カールが大きくなり、屈曲性が低くなった。
The optical film according to Comparative Example 2 had large curls and low flexibility due to the large blending ratio of the (meth)acrylic monomer.
比較例3に係る光学フィルムは、チオール化合物の配合割合が多いことにより、鉛筆硬度が低くなった。
The optical film according to Comparative Example 3 had a low pencil hardness due to the high blending ratio of the thiol compound.
比較例4に係る光学フィルムは、(メタ)アクリルポリマー及びチオール化合物が配合されていないことにより、カールが大きくなり、屈曲性が低くなった。
The optical film according to Comparative Example 4 had large curls and low flexibility because the (meth)acrylic polymer and thiol compound were not blended.
比較例5に係る光学フィルムは、(メタ)アクリルモノマーが配合されていないことにより、鉛筆硬度が低くなった。
The optical film according to Comparative Example 5 had low pencil hardness because it did not contain a (meth)acrylic monomer.
比較例6及び7に係る光学フィルムは、(メタ)アクリルポリマーが配合されていないことにより、カールが大きくなり、屈曲性が低くなった。
The optical films according to Comparative Examples 6 and 7 had large curls and low flexibility because the (meth)acrylic polymer was not blended.
比較例8に係る光学フィルムは、チオール化合物が配合されていないハードコート層形成用組成物を用いてハードコート層を形成したものである。比較例8と実施例4((メタ)アクリルモノマー及び(メタ)アクリルポリマーの配合割合がほぼ同じ)との対比からわかるように、ハードコート層形成用組成物にチオール化合物が添加されていないことにより、カールが大きくなり、屈曲性が低くなった。また、比較例8における(メタ)アクリルモノマーの配合割合は、実施例4よりも多いが、ハードコート層形成用組成物に硬化助剤として働くチオール化合物が添加されていないために、実施例4と比べて鉛筆硬度が低下した。
In the optical film according to Comparative Example 8, a hard coat layer was formed using a hard coat layer forming composition that did not contain a thiol compound. As can be seen from the comparison between Comparative Example 8 and Example 4 (the blending ratios of (meth)acrylic monomer and (meth)acrylic polymer are almost the same), no thiol compound was added to the hard coat layer forming composition. This resulted in larger curls and lower flexibility. In addition, although the blending ratio of the (meth)acrylic monomer in Comparative Example 8 is higher than that in Example 4, since a thiol compound that acts as a curing aid is not added to the composition for forming a hard coat layer, Example 4 Pencil hardness decreased compared to
比較例9に係る光学フィルムは、チオール化合物が配合されていないハードコート層形成用組成物を用いてハードコート層を形成したものである。比較例9と実施例1((メタ)アクリルモノマー及び(メタ)アクリルポリマーの配合割合がほぼ同じ)との対比からわかるように、ハードコート層形成用組成物に硬化助剤として働くチオール化合物が添加されていないことにより、実施例1と比べて鉛筆硬度が低下した。尚、比較例9において、カール及び屈曲性の評価が「○」であるのは、硬度と引き換えにカール及び屈曲性を悪化させる(メタ)アクリルモノマーの配合量が実施例1とほぼ同量であり、比較例8よりも少ないためである。
In the optical film according to Comparative Example 9, the hard coat layer was formed using a hard coat layer forming composition that did not contain a thiol compound. As can be seen from the comparison between Comparative Example 9 and Example 1 (the proportions of (meth)acrylic monomer and (meth)acrylic polymer are almost the same), the hard coat layer forming composition contains a thiol compound that acts as a curing aid. Since it was not added, the pencil hardness was lower than in Example 1. In addition, in Comparative Example 9, the evaluation of curl and flexibility is "○" because the amount of (meth)acrylic monomer that worsens curl and flexibility in exchange for hardness is almost the same as in Example 1. This is because it is smaller than Comparative Example 8.
比較例10に係る光学フィルムは、2官能の(メタ)アクリルモノマーを使用したことにより、鉛筆硬度が低くなった。
The optical film according to Comparative Example 10 had low pencil hardness due to the use of a bifunctional (meth)acrylic monomer.
比較例11に係る光学フィルムは、(メタ)アクリルポリマーの代わりに低分子量の重合性化合物を使用したことにより、カールが大きくなり、屈曲性が低くなった。これは、ハードコート層形成用組成物に長鎖の(メタ)アクリルポリマーが配合されていないために、骨格となるポリマーのネットワークが形成されなかったためと考えられる。
The optical film according to Comparative Example 11 had increased curl and decreased flexibility due to the use of a low molecular weight polymerizable compound instead of the (meth)acrylic polymer. This is considered to be because a long chain (meth)acrylic polymer was not blended into the composition for forming the hard coat layer, so a polymer network serving as a skeleton was not formed.
比較例12に係る光学フィルムは、(メタ)アクリルポリマーとして分子量が10万の重合性化合物を使用したことにより、鉛筆硬度が低くなった。これは、使用した(メタ)アクリルポリマーの分子量が大きすぎることにより、ハードコート層形成用組成物の相溶性が悪化し、各成分の偏りが生じたからであると考えられる。
The optical film according to Comparative Example 12 had a low pencil hardness due to the use of a polymerizable compound with a molecular weight of 100,000 as the (meth)acrylic polymer. This is considered to be because the molecular weight of the (meth)acrylic polymer used was too large, which deteriorated the compatibility of the composition for forming a hard coat layer, resulting in unevenness of each component.
比較例13に係る光学フィルムは、ハードコート層の膜厚が薄いことにより、鉛筆硬度が低下した。
The optical film according to Comparative Example 13 had a reduced pencil hardness due to the thin film thickness of the hard coat layer.
比較例14に係る光学フィルムは、ハードコート層の膜厚が厚いことにより、カールが大きくなり、屈曲性が低くなった。
The optical film according to Comparative Example 14 had large curls and low flexibility due to the thick hard coat layer.
