Description

  The present invention relates to an optical laminate that includes an excellent hard coat layer and an antireflection layer, suppresses the generation of interference fringes, and is excellent in antistatic properties, transparency, and adhesion.

  Conventionally, a method of coating a plastic film used for various displays with an acrylic UV resin or the like in order to add hardness and attaching a hard coat property has been used. However, although the hardness of the plastic film is improved by these methods, there is a problem that the plastic film and the acrylic UV resin are easily charged, and there is a problem that dust or dust adheres at the time of operation or use, and the improvement of the charging property is strong. It is requested.

  In order to improve these problems, various conductive materials have been added. However, the addition of the conductive material causes a difference in refractive index between the base material and the hard coat, resulting in interference fringes. End up.

  Several inventions have been made so far. First, in order to reduce the difference in refractive index between the base material and the hard coat layer, an intermediate layer is provided between the base material and the hard coat layer (see Patent Document 1). ) Only reduces the interference fringes and does not completely eliminate them.

  Moreover, in the method of laminating a transparent conductive layer, a hard coat layer, a high refractive index layer, and a low refractive index layer in order on a substrate (see Patent Document 2), the conductive layer is interposed between the substrate and the hard coat layer. There is also a problem that it is difficult to express conductivity because it exists.

  Furthermore, an optical film (see Patent Document 3) is also proposed in which a hard coat layer is formed by applying a hard coat layer to a substrate using a resin containing a solvent that dissolves or swells the substrate. However, the solvent that dissolves or swells the base material often inhibits the dispersion of the conductive material (particularly metal oxide fine particles), and it is difficult to produce a conductive hard coat layer without interference fringes.

  As another patent, a quaternary ammonium salt has also been proposed as a conductive material other than metal oxide fine particles (see Patent Document 4). However, this quaternary ammonium salt has humidity dependency as its conductivity. There is a problem as an effective conductive material.

  Further, there is Patent Document 5 as a similar technique, but since the low refractive index layer is an inorganic material layer produced by a so-called sol-gel method, the adhesion at the interface between the organic layer and the inorganic layer is low, and the adhesion to the hard coat layer is low. It is necessary to add a property improving ingredient.

Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2000-1111760 JP 2003-39586 A JP 2003-205563 A JP 2009-86660 A JP 2006-035493 A JP 2001-233611 A JP 7-133105 A JP 2002-79616 A JP 2006-106714 A

  When the conductive material in the hard coat layer is 1 part by weight or less, sufficient conductivity is not exhibited, and when it is 10 parts by weight or more, coloring and optical scattering are caused by the metal oxide fine particles, and the optical laminate is formed. As a result, it will not exhibit sufficient functions.

  The hard coat layer (12) is formed by a wet coating method, such as a dip coating method, a spin coating method, a flow coating method, a spray coating method, a roll coating method, a gravure roll coating method, an air doctor coating method, a blade.

The microgravure coating method is preferably used because it is particularly necessary to form a thin and uniform layer. In addition, when it becomes necessary to form a thick layer, a die coating method can be used.

As a curing method for forming the hard coat layer (12), for example, ultraviolet irradiation, heating or the like can be used. In the case of ultraviolet irradiation, a high pressure mercury lamp, a halogen lamp, a xenon lamp, a fusion lamp, or the like can be used. The amount of ultraviolet irradiation is usually 100 mJ / cm ² or more and 800 mJ / cm ² or less.

  The hard coat layer having a thickness of 3 μm or more provides sufficient strength, but is preferably in the range of 5 μm to 10 μm from the viewpoint of coating accuracy and handling. This is because if the thickness is 10 μm or more, warpage, distortion, and bending of the substrate due to curing shrinkage occur. Furthermore, it is very preferable for the hard coat layer to have a film thickness in the range of 5 μm to 7 μm.

  As the solvent 1, as a solvent for dissolving or swelling the cellulose film surface, dibutyl ether, dimethoxymethane, dimethoxyethane, diethoxyethane, propylene oxide, 1,4-dioxane, 1,3-dioxolane, 1,3,5 -Ethers such as trioxane, tetrahydrofuran, anisole and phenetole; ketones such as acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, diethyl ketone, dipropyl ketone, diisobutyl ketone, cyclopentanone, cyclohexanone, methylcyclohexanone and methylcyclohexanone; and ethyl formate and formic acid Esters such as propyl, n-pentyl formate, methyl acetate, ethyl acetate, methyl propionate, ethyl propion brew, n-pentyl acetate, and γ-ptyrolactone; Ruserosorubu, cellosolve, butyl cellosolve, cellosolve such as cellosolve acetate.

  If the solvent 1 is 70 parts by weight or less, it is not sufficient to dissolve and swell the cellulosic film surface, causing a decrease in the adhesion of the hard coat layer. On the other hand, when the solvent 1 is 95 parts by weight or more, the conductive material becomes unstable in the coating liquid, and problems such as aggregation of fine particles occur.

Therefore, it is desirable that the refractive index is low.

  Examples of the low refractive index particles (132) in the low refractive index layer include the use of fine particles having voids. The fine particles having voids are a structure in which fine particles are filled with gas and / or a porous structure containing gas. It is a fine particle that forms a fine structure and has a refractive index that is inversely proportional to the gas occupancy in the fine particle compared to the original refractive index of the fine particle.

  Also included are fine particles capable of forming a nanoporous structure inside and / or at least part of the surface depending on the form, structure, aggregated state, and dispersed state of the fine particles inside the coating. The low refractive index layer using these fine particles can adjust the refractive index to 1.30 or more and 1.45 or less.

Moreover, the hollow silica fine particle obtained by the manufacturing method described in patent document 7, patent document 8, and patent document 9 may be sufficient.

  Since hollow silica fine particles having voids are easy to manufacture and have high hardness themselves, when mixed with a binder to form a low refractive index layer, the layer strength is improved and the refractive index is 1.20 or more and 1 It is possible to adjust within a range of about 45 or less.

  The average particle size of the hollow silica fine particles is preferably 5 nm to 300 nm, the lower limit is 8 nm, the upper limit is more preferably 100 nm, the lower limit is 10 nm, and the upper limit is further preferably 80 nm.

  When the average particle diameter of the fine particles is within this range, excellent transparency can be imparted to the low refractive index layer. The hollow silica fine particles are usually used in an amount of 0.1 to 500 parts by weight, preferably 10 to 200 parts by weight, based on 100 parts by weight of the matrix resin in the low refractive index layer.

  In the formation of the low refractive index layer, as the low refractive index layer forming resin (131), a polyfunctional monomer containing two or more (meth) acryloyl groups in one molecule, hollow silica fine particles, And, if necessary, a solution or dispersion obtained by dissolving or dispersing an additive (polymerization initiator, antistatic agent, antiglare agent, etc.) in a solvent as the composition for forming a low refractive index layer, and depending on the composition A low refractive index layer can be obtained by forming a coating film and curing it by ultraviolet irradiation or heating. In addition, well-known things can be used for additives, such as a polymerization initiator, an antistatic agent, and an anti-glare agent.

  The polyfunctional monomer containing two or more (meth) acryloyl groups in one molecule of the low refractive index layer forming resin is described in the ionizing radiation curable resin used in forming the hard coat layer. Resin etc. which can be used can be used.

  The low refractive index layer (13) is usually applied after diluted in a volatile solvent.

You may use these individually or in combination of 2 or more types. Of these, methyl isobutyl ketone, methyl ethyl ketone, isopropyl alcohol (IPA), n-butanol, s-butanol, t-butanol, PGME, and PGMEA are preferable. Moreover, the preparation method of a composition should just be able to mix a component uniformly, should just implement according to a well-known method, and can carry out mixing and dispersion | distribution using a well-known apparatus.

  The low refractive index layer is coated on the hard coat layer that has been surface-treated by the wet coating method described above, and the solvent in the coating film is volatilized by heating and drying, and thereafter heating, ultraviolet irradiation, electron beam irradiation, etc. And cure the coating. The low refractive index layer is preferably formed using a microgravure method in the same manner as the hard coat layer forming method.
