Description

偏光板及びこれを用いた表示装置Polarizing plate and display device using the same
 本発明は、偏光板及びこれを用いた表示装置に関する。 The present invention relates to a polarizing plate and a display device using the same.
 表示装置に用いられる偏光板には、主にポリビニルアルコール(PVA)が使用されている。PVAは耐水性が極めて悪いため、両面に保護フィルムが貼り合わされる。偏光板の保護フィルムには、従来、トリアセチルセルロース(TAC)フィルムにハードコート層を積層した、透湿度が300~1000g/m/day程度のハードコートフィルムが使用されてきたが、高温高湿の過酷条件下では、PVAの吸水を防ぎきれずに劣化を引き起こすという問題であった。 Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) is mainly used for polarizing plates used in display devices. Since PVA has extremely poor water resistance, protective films are attached to both sides. Conventionally, a hard coat film with a moisture permeability of about 300 to 1000 g/m 2 /day, which is a triacetyl cellulose (TAC) film laminated with a hard coat layer, has been used as a protective film for a polarizing plate. Under harsh humid conditions, the problem was that PVA could not be completely prevented from absorbing water, causing deterioration.
 そこで、TACに代えて、シクロオレフィンポリマー(COP)や、ポリエチレンテレフタレート(PET)を用いた保護フィルムの開発が進められ、保護フィルムの透湿度は、5~100g/m/day程度まで低減されてきた。 Therefore, instead of TAC, protective films using cycloolefin polymer (COP) and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) are being developed, and the moisture permeability of the protective film has been reduced to about 5 to 100 g/m 2 /day. It's here.

 近年、車載用途などで、極めて高い温湿度での耐久性を有する偏光板が求められている。高温湿度環境下において、保護フィルムの水蒸気バリア性が高すぎると、外部からの水分の侵入はないものの、基材や、保護フィルムの貼り合わせに用いた粘着剤から発生した水分が、偏光板中に留まり劣化を引き起こすという事例が観測されている。 In recent years, there has been a demand for polarizing plates that can withstand extremely high temperatures and humidity for automotive applications and the like. In a high temperature and humidity environment, if the water vapor barrier properties of the protective film are too high, moisture will not infiltrate from the outside, but moisture generated from the base material and the adhesive used to bond the protective film will leak onto the polarizing plate. Cases have been observed in which the particles remain inside and cause deterioration.
 また、車載用ディスプレイの面積が拡大していると共に、使用用途も拡張されており、平面部だけでなく、曲面部にもディスプレイが採用されるケースも生じている。こういった背景から、偏光板の薄型化・高屈曲性が求められている。 In addition, the area of in-vehicle displays is expanding, and the applications for which they are used are also expanding, and there are cases where displays are being used not only on flat surfaces but also on curved surfaces. Against this background, there is a demand for thinner polarizing plates and higher flexibility.
 それ故に、本発明は、薄膜かつ高屈曲でありながら、高温高湿環境における耐久性を備えた偏光板及びこれを用いた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 a polarizing plate that is thin and highly flexible, yet has durability in high temperature and high humidity environments, and a display device using the same.

 保護フィルムAの厚み(総厚み)は、50μm未満であることが好ましい。ハードコート層3を外側にして偏光板10を屈曲させた場合、ハードコート層3の表面に応力が集中する。保護フィルムAの厚みが50μm以上の場合、偏光板10を屈曲させた際にハードコート層3にクラックが生じやすくなる。 The thickness (total thickness) of the protective film A is preferably less than 50 μm. When the polarizing plate 10 is bent with the hard coat layer 3 facing outside, stress is concentrated on the surface of the hard coat layer 3. When the thickness of the protective film A is 50 μm or more, cracks are likely to occur in the hard coat layer 3 when the polarizing plate 10 is bent.
 また、保護フィルムA(ハードコートフィルム)の鉛筆硬度は3H以上であることが好ましい。保護フィルムAの鉛筆硬度が3H以上である場合、偏光板の表面硬度が良好であり、耐久性が向上する。 Furthermore, the pencil hardness of the protective film A (hard coat film) is preferably 3H or higher. When the pencil hardness of the protective film A is 3H or more, the surface hardness of the polarizing plate is good and the durability is improved.
 保護フィルムAに用いるTACフィルム2の厚み及びハードコート層3の膜厚は、保護フィルムAの層厚みが50μmである限り、特に限定されないが、一例として、TACフィルム2の厚みは、25~40μmであり、ハードコート層3の膜厚は、5~10μmである。 The thickness of the TAC film 2 and the hard coat layer 3 used in the protective film A are not particularly limited as long as the layer thickness of the protective film A is 50 μm, but as an example, the thickness of the TAC film 2 is 25 to 40 μm. The thickness of the hard coat layer 3 is 5 to 10 μm.
 保護フィルムBは、シクロオレフィンポリマー(COP)、ポリエチレンテレフタレート(PET)及びポリメチルメタクリレート(PMMA)のいずれかからなるフィルム低透湿性のフィルムである。保護フィルムBは、例えば、紫外線硬化性の接着剤を介して偏光子1に貼り合わされる。保護フィルムBの厚みは、特に限定されないが、10~100μmであることが好ましい。 The protective film B is a low moisture permeable film made of cycloolefin polymer (COP), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), or polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA). The protective film B is bonded to the polarizer 1 via, for example, an ultraviolet curable adhesive. The thickness of the protective film B is not particularly limited, but is preferably 10 to 100 μm.
 尚、表示装置において、保護フィルムBが表示パネル側に配置され、保護フィルムAのハードコート層が視認側(表示パネルとは反対側)に配置される。 Note that in the display device, the protective film B is placed on the display panel side, and the hard coat layer of the protective film A is placed on the viewing side (opposite side to the display panel).
 保護フィルムAのTACフィルムは、接着剤として水糊(PVA水溶液)を用いて偏光子1のPVAフィルムに貼り合わされる。尚、TACフィルムとPVAフィルムとの密着性を確保するため、貼り合わせの前に保護フィルムAに鹸化処理が施される。保護フィルムAの偏光子1への貼り合わせに水糊を用いるため、乾燥工程を経た後においても、接着剤層中及びTACフィルム中には水分が含まれ得る。保護フィルムA及びBの両方を透湿度の低いフィルムを用いて構成した場合、外部からの水分の侵入は抑制されるものの、夏場の車内等の極めて高温な環境下において、接着剤及び/またはTACフィルムに含まれていた水分が偏光板10内に留まり続けるため、偏光子1の劣化を引き起こす。
 そこで、本実施形態に係る偏光板10においては、保護フィルムAの透湿度と保護フィルムBの透湿度とに差を設け、かつ、保護フィルムA及び保護フィルムBの透湿度をそれぞれ特定の範囲とすることによって、接着剤及び/またはTACフィルム由来の水分による偏光子1の劣化を抑制する。
The TAC film of the protective film A is bonded to the PVA film of the polarizer 1 using water glue (PVA aqueous solution) as an adhesive. Note that in order to ensure the adhesion between the TAC film and the PVA film, the protective film A is saponified before lamination. Since water glue is used to attach the protective film A to the polarizer 1, water may be contained in the adhesive layer and the TAC film even after the drying process. If both protective films A and B are made of films with low moisture permeability, the intrusion of moisture from the outside will be suppressed, but adhesive and/or TAC Moisture contained in the film continues to remain in the polarizing plate 10, causing deterioration of the polarizer 1.
Therefore, in the polarizing plate 10 according to the present embodiment, a difference is provided between the water vapor permeability of the protective film A and the water vapor permeability of the protective film B, and the water vapor permeability of the protective film A and the protective film B is set within a specific range. By doing so, deterioration of the polarizer 1 due to moisture derived from the adhesive and/or the TAC film is suppressed.
 具体的に、40℃90%RHにおける保護フィルムA及びBの透湿度をそれぞれTA及びTBとすると、TA及びTBは以下の条件(1)及び(2)を同時に満足する。尚、透湿度TA及びTBはいずれも、JIS Z 0208:1976に規定される、防湿包装材料の透湿度試験法(カップ法)に準拠して測定した値である。
  240g/m/day>TA>70g/m/day ・・・(1)
  70g/m/day≧TB ・・・(2)
Specifically, if the moisture permeability of the protective films A and B at 40° C. and 90% RH is TA and TB, respectively, TA and TB satisfy the following conditions (1) and (2) at the same time. The moisture permeability TA and TB are both values measured in accordance with the moisture permeability test method (cup method) for moisture-proof packaging materials specified in JIS Z 0208:1976.
240g/m 2 /day>TA>70g/m 2 /day...(1)
70g/m 2 /day≧TB...(2)
 本実施形態に係る偏光板10は、上記の条件(1)及び(2)を同時に満足することにより、外部から偏光板内部への水分の侵入を抑制しつつ、例えば、85℃の高温環境下に晒された場合に、保護フィルムAと偏光子1との貼り合わせに用いた接着剤及び/または保護フィルムAのTACフィルムから発生した水分を外部に排出させることができる。 By satisfying the above conditions (1) and (2) at the same time, the polarizing plate 10 according to the present embodiment can be used in a high-temperature environment of, for example, 85° C. while suppressing the intrusion of moisture from the outside into the inside of the polarizing plate. When exposed to water, moisture generated from the adhesive used to bond the protective film A and the polarizer 1 and/or the TAC film of the protective film A can be discharged to the outside.
 以上説明したように、本実施形態に係る偏光板10は、上記条件(1)及び(2)を満足する保護フィルムA及び保護フィルムBを備える。この構成により、表示パネル側に配置される保護フィルムBは水分の出入りをほぼ遮断する。一方、視認側に配置される保護フィルムAは、外部から偏光板10内部への水分の侵入を抑制しつつ、極めて高温な環境下において、偏光板10内部で発生した水分の放出を可能とする。したがって、本実施形態に係る偏光板10においては、高温環境下で用いられた場合に、偏光板10の内部で発生した水分が留まらないため、偏光子の劣化を抑制し、より長期に渡って偏光板10の光学性能を維持することが可能となる。 As explained above, the polarizing plate 10 according to the present embodiment includes the protective film A and the protective film B that satisfy the above conditions (1) and (2). With this configuration, the protective film B disposed on the display panel side substantially blocks moisture from entering and exiting. On the other hand, the protective film A disposed on the viewing side suppresses the intrusion of moisture from the outside into the inside of the polarizing plate 10 and allows the moisture generated inside the polarizing plate 10 to be released in an extremely high temperature environment. . Therefore, when the polarizing plate 10 according to the present embodiment is used in a high-temperature environment, the moisture generated inside the polarizing plate 10 does not remain, so deterioration of the polarizer is suppressed and the polarizer can be used for a longer period of time. It becomes possible to maintain the optical performance of the polarizing plate 10.
 また、保護フィルムAの厚みが50μm未満であるため、偏光板10の薄膜化が可能であると共に、偏光板10の屈曲時にハードコート層3にクラックが発生することを抑制し、耐屈曲性を向上できる。 In addition, since the thickness of the protective film A is less than 50 μm, it is possible to make the polarizing plate 10 thinner, and it also suppresses the occurrence of cracks in the hard coat layer 3 when the polarizing plate 10 is bent, thereby improving the bending resistance. You can improve.
 したがって、本実施形態によれば、薄膜かつ高屈曲でありながら、高温高湿環境における耐久性を備えた偏光板10を提供できる。 Therefore, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to provide a polarizing plate 10 that is thin and highly flexible, yet has durability in a high temperature and high humidity environment.
 本実施形態に係る偏光板10は、液晶パネルや有機ELパネル等の画像表示パネルと組み合わせて画像表示装置を構成するのに利用することができる。画像表示装置は、タッチパネルを備えても良い。本実施形態に係る偏光板10は、高い屈曲性と高温高湿環境における耐久性を兼ね備えるので、車内の曲面部に設ける画像表示装置として好適に利用できる。 The polarizing plate 10 according to this embodiment can be used to configure an image display device in combination with an image display panel such as a liquid crystal panel or an organic EL panel. The image display device may include a touch panel. Since the polarizing plate 10 according to the present embodiment has both high flexibility and durability in high temperature and high humidity environments, it can be suitably used as an image display device provided on a curved surface inside a car.
 以下、本発明を具体的に実施した実施例を説明する。 Examples in which the present invention was specifically implemented will be described below.
 重合性材料、疎水性材料、光重合開始剤及び溶剤を表1に示す割合で含有するハードコート層形成用組成物を調整した。ハードコート層形成用組成物の全固形分中のジヒドロシクロペンタジエチルアクリレートの割合は、以下の通りである。

・Composition 2: 45%
・Composition 3: 90%
・Composition 4: 9%
・Composition 5: 0%
 調整したハードコート層形成用組成物を厚み40μmのTACフィルム(商品名:TJ25 富士フイルム社製)に、ワイヤーバーコーターを用いて硬化後の膜厚が表2に記載の値となるように塗布した。60℃のオーブン内で1分間加熱して塗膜を乾燥させた後、UV硬化装置において窒素雰囲気下(酸素濃度500ppm以下)、積算光量が100mJ/cmとなるように紫外線を照射して塗膜を硬化させ、保護フィルムA(ハードコートフィルム)を作製した。また、厚み26μmのCOPフィルムを保護フィルムBとした。 The prepared composition for forming a hard coat layer was applied to a 40 μm thick TAC film (product name: TJ25 manufactured by Fujifilm) using a wire bar coater so that the film thickness after curing would be the value shown in Table 2. did. After drying the coating film by heating it in an oven at 60°C for 1 minute, it was irradiated with ultraviolet rays in a UV curing device under a nitrogen atmosphere (oxygen concentration 500 ppm or less) so that the cumulative light amount was 100 mJ/cm 2 . The film was cured to produce a protective film A (hard coat film). Moreover, a COP film with a thickness of 26 μm was used as a protective film B.
 保護フィルムAのTACフィルム面と偏光子とを水糊を用いて貼り合わせて乾燥させた後、紫外線硬化性接着剤を用いて偏光子に保護フィルムBを貼り合わせ、紫外線を照射することにより紫外線硬化性接着剤を硬化させ、偏光板を得た。 After bonding the TAC film surface of protective film A and a polarizer using water glue and drying, bonding protective film B to the polarizer using an ultraviolet curable adhesive and irradiating it with ultraviolet rays. The curable adhesive was cured to obtain a polarizing plate.
 (透湿度)
 偏光子に貼り合わせる前の保護フィルムAの透湿度TA及び保護フィルムBの透湿度TBを、JIS Z 0208:1976に規定される、防湿包装材料の透湿度試験法(カップ法)に準拠して、40℃90RH%の条件で測定した。
(moisture permeability)
The moisture permeability TA of the protective film A and the moisture permeability TB of the protective film B before being laminated to the polarizer were determined in accordance with the moisture permeability test method for moisture-proof packaging materials (cup method) specified in JIS Z 0208:1976. , 40°C and 90RH%.
 (耐屈曲性)
 保護フィルムAを3cm×10cmの大きさにカットしたサンプルを作製し、所定の径の鉄棒(マンドレル)にハードコート層が外側となるように巻き付け、表面にクラックが生じない鉄棒の最小径を耐屈曲性の評価値とした。
(Bending resistance)
A sample of protective film A was cut into a size of 3 cm x 10 cm, and then wrapped around an iron rod (mandrel) of a predetermined diameter with the hard coat layer on the outside. This was used as an evaluation value for flexibility.
 (鉛筆硬度)
 鉛筆(三菱鉛筆株式会社製 uni、3H)及びクレメンス型引っ掻き試験機(HA-301、テスター産業株式会社製)を用いて、荷重500g、引っ掻き速度0.5mm/secの条件で、保護フィルムAのハードコート層表面の引っ掻き試験を行った。5枚のサンプルで引っ掻き試験を行い、ハードコート層表面に傷が認められたサンプルが2枚以上あった場合をNG、それ以外をOKと評価した。
(Pencil hardness)
Using a pencil (uni, 3H, manufactured by Mitsubishi Pencil Co., Ltd.) and a Clemens scratch tester (HA-301, manufactured by Tester Sangyo Co., Ltd.), the protective film A was tested under the conditions of a load of 500 g and a scratching speed of 0.5 mm/sec. A scratch test was conducted on the surface of the hard coat layer. A scratch test was conducted on five samples, and the cases where two or more samples had scratches on the surface of the hard coat layer were evaluated as NG, and the others were evaluated as OK.
 (高温高湿耐久試験後の偏光板の偏光度)
 各実施例及び各比較例に係る偏光板を85℃85%RHの恒温槽に投入し、投入から240時間後及び500時間後の偏光度を測定した。尚、偏光度は、積分球付き吸光光度計(日本分光株式会社製「V7100」)により測定した値に対して、JIS Z 8701の2度視野(C光源)により視感度補正を行うことで算出した。
(Degree of polarization of polarizing plate after high temperature and high humidity durability test)
The polarizing plate according to each Example and each Comparative Example was placed in a constant temperature bath at 85° C. and 85% RH, and the degree of polarization was measured 240 hours and 500 hours after the addition. The degree of polarization is calculated by correcting the visual sensitivity using the 2-degree field of view (C light source) of JIS Z 8701 on the value measured with an absorbance photometer with an integrating sphere (V7100, manufactured by JASCO Corporation). did.
 表2に、各実施例及び各比較例に係る保護フィルムA及びBの諸特性と、偏光板の偏光度の測定値(初期値、高温高湿耐久試験前及び後)を示す。 Table 2 shows various properties of the protective films A and B according to each Example and each Comparative Example, and measured values of the degree of polarization of the polarizing plate (initial value, before and after the high temperature and high humidity durability test).
 実施例1~7に係る偏光板は、保護フィルムAの透湿度TA及び保護フィルムBの透湿度TBが上記の条件(1)及び(2)を満足するものであるため、85℃85%RHの恒温槽に500時間投入された後でも、高い偏光度の値を示した。また、保護フィルムAの層厚みが50μm未満であるため、2mm径のマンドレルに巻き付けた場合でも、ハードコート層表面にクラックが生じず、耐屈曲性が優れていた。また、保護フィルムAがハードコート層を有するため、ハードコート層を設けていない比較例12及び13と比べて表面硬度も優れていた。 Since the polarizing plates according to Examples 1 to 7 satisfy the above conditions (1) and (2), the water vapor permeability TA of the protective film A and the water vapor permeability TB of the protective film B satisfy the above conditions (1) and (2). Even after being placed in a constant temperature bath for 500 hours, it showed a high degree of polarization. Moreover, since the layer thickness of the protective film A was less than 50 μm, even when it was wound around a mandrel with a diameter of 2 mm, no cracks were generated on the surface of the hard coat layer, and the bending resistance was excellent. Moreover, since the protective film A had a hard coat layer, the surface hardness was also excellent compared to Comparative Examples 12 and 13, which did not have a hard coat layer.
 これに対して、比較例1においては、保護フィルムAの層厚みが50μmであるため、2mm系のマンドレルに巻き付けた場合、ハードコート層表面にクラックが発生し、実施例と比べて保護フィルムAの耐屈曲性が劣っていた。 On the other hand, in Comparative Example 1, since the layer thickness of the protective film A is 50 μm, cracks occur on the surface of the hard coat layer when it is wound around a 2 mm mandrel. The bending resistance was poor.
 比較例2に係る偏光板は、保護フィルムAの透湿度TAが高いために、外部からの水分の侵入を十分に抑制できず、85℃、85%RHの恒温槽に500時間投入された後の偏光度が実施例と比べて低下した。 The polarizing plate according to Comparative Example 2 was unable to sufficiently suppress the intrusion of moisture from the outside due to the high moisture permeability TA of the protective film A, and after being placed in a constant temperature bath at 85° C. and 85% RH for 500 hours. The degree of polarization of the sample was lower than that of the example.
 比較例3~6に係る偏光板は、保護フィルムAのハードコート層中の脂環式構造を有する(メタ)アクリレート由来の構成単位が少ないために、耐屈曲性が十分に発現せず、実施例と比べて保護フィルムAの耐屈曲性が劣っていた。尚、比較例3~6と同じ組成物でハードコート層を形成した比較例2の保護フィルムAが実施例と同様の耐屈曲性を示したのは、比較例2の保護フィルムAの層厚みが相対的に薄く、ハードコート層表面の応力集中が抑制されたためと考えられる。 The polarizing plates according to Comparative Examples 3 to 6 did not have sufficient bending resistance due to the small number of structural units derived from (meth)acrylate having an alicyclic structure in the hard coat layer of the protective film A. The bending resistance of the protective film A was inferior to that of the example. It should be noted that the reason why the protective film A of Comparative Example 2, in which the hard coat layer was formed with the same composition as Comparative Examples 3 to 6, exhibited the same bending resistance as that of the example was due to the layer thickness of the protective film A of Comparative Example 2. This is thought to be because the hard coat layer was relatively thin and stress concentration on the surface of the hard coat layer was suppressed.
 比較例7~9に係る偏光板は、保護フィルムAの透湿度TAが高いために、外部からの水分の侵入を十分に抑制できず、85℃、85%RHの恒温槽に500時間投入された後の偏光度が実施例と比べて低下した。また、比較例8及び9に係る偏光板は、保護フィルムAのハードコート層中に脂環式構造を有する(メタ)アクリレート由来の構成単位が含まれていないために、耐屈曲性が十分に発現せず、実施例と比べて保護フィルムAの耐屈曲性が劣っていた。尚、比較例8及び9と同じ組成物でハードコート層を形成した比較例7の保護フィルムAが実施例と同様の耐屈曲性を示したのは、比較例7の保護フィルムAの層厚みが相対的に薄く、ハードコート層表面の応力集中が抑制されたためと考えられる。 The polarizing plates according to Comparative Examples 7 to 9 were unable to sufficiently suppress the intrusion of moisture from the outside due to the high moisture permeability TA of the protective film A, and were placed in a constant temperature bath at 85° C. and 85% RH for 500 hours. The degree of polarization after the test was lower than that of the example. In addition, the polarizing plates according to Comparative Examples 8 and 9 did not have sufficient bending resistance because the hard coat layer of the protective film A did not contain a (meth)acrylate-derived structural unit having an alicyclic structure. This did not occur, and the bending resistance of the protective film A was inferior to that of the examples. It should be noted that the reason why the protective film A of Comparative Example 7, in which the hard coat layer was formed with the same composition as Comparative Examples 8 and 9, exhibited the same bending resistance as that of the example was due to the layer thickness of the protective film A of Comparative Example 7. This is thought to be because the hard coat layer was relatively thin and stress concentration on the surface of the hard coat layer was suppressed.
 比較例10及び11に係る偏光板は、保護フィルムAのハードコート層中に脂環式構造を有する(メタ)アクリレート由来の構成単位が含まれていないために、耐屈曲性が十分に発現せず、実施例と比べて保護フィルムAの耐屈曲性が劣っていた。 The polarizing plates according to Comparative Examples 10 and 11 did not have sufficient bending resistance because the hard coat layer of the protective film A did not contain a (meth)acrylate-derived structural unit having an alicyclic structure. First, the bending resistance of the protective film A was inferior to that of the examples.
 比較例12及び13に係る偏光板は、85℃、85%RHの恒温槽に500時間投入された後の偏光度が実施例と比べて低下した。これは、保護フィルムAの透湿度TAが低過ぎるために、高温高湿下に晒された場合に、保護フィルムA及び/または接着剤(水糊)に含まれていた水分が偏光板内に留まり続け、この結果、偏光子の劣化が生じたものと考えられる。また、比較例12及び13の保護フィルムAは、ハードコート層が設けられていないため、実施例と比べて表面硬度が劣っていた。 The degree of polarization of the polarizing plates according to Comparative Examples 12 and 13 after being placed in a constant temperature bath at 85° C. and 85% RH for 500 hours was lower than that of the example. This is because the moisture permeability TA of the protective film A is too low, so when exposed to high temperature and high humidity, the moisture contained in the protective film A and/or the adhesive (water paste) enters the polarizing plate. It is thought that the polarizer continued to remain there, and as a result, the polarizer deteriorated. Moreover, since the protective films A of Comparative Examples 12 and 13 were not provided with a hard coat layer, the surface hardness was inferior to that of the Examples.
 本発明は、表示装置に用いる偏光板として利用することができ、特に、車載用途等の高温環境下で用いられる表示装置の偏光板として好適である。 The present invention can be used as a polarizing plate for display devices, and is particularly suitable as a polarizing plate for display devices used in high-temperature environments such as in-vehicle applications.
