本発明の偏光板保護フィルムは、さらに酸化防止剤、可塑剤、微粒子、帯電防止剤、剥離剤、増粘剤等のその他の添加剤を含んでもよい。
中でも、本発明の効果をより高める観点から、酸化防止剤及び微粒子を用いることが好ましい。
本発明の偏光板保護フィルムは、酸化防止剤を含有することが好ましい。酸化防止剤は劣化防止剤ともいわれ、例えば、フィルム中の残留溶媒量のハロゲンやリン酸系可塑剤のリン酸等によりフィルムが分解するのを遅らせたり、防いだりする役割を有する。
本発明の偏光板保護フィルムは、微粒子を含有することが好ましい。
本発明の偏光板保護フィルムは必要に応じて、他の色素化合物として紫外線吸収剤を含有することもできる。
本発明の偏光板保護フィルムの製造方法としては、通常のインフレーション法、T-ダイ法、カレンダー法、切削法、流延法、エマルジョン法、ホットプレス法等の製造法が使用できるが、着色抑制、異物欠点の抑制、ダイラインなどの光学欠点の抑制などの観点から製膜方法は、溶液流延法と溶融流延法が好ましく、特に溶液流延法であることが、加工工程での温度が低く、このため種々の添加剤を用いることによる高機能化付与の観点からより好ましい。以下、本発明に好ましい「溶液流延法」について説明する。
(1)熱可塑性樹脂を含む成膜成分と、添加される化合物(D)及び任意の添加剤と溶媒とを含むドープを得る工程
(2)得られたドープを支持体上に流延した後、乾燥及び剥離して、膜状物を得る工程
(3)得られた膜状物を、必要に応じて延伸しながら乾燥させる工程
(4)得られた偏光板保護フィルムを巻き取って、ロール体を得る工程
熱可塑性樹脂を含む成膜成分と、添加される化合物(D)及び酸化防止剤や微粒子等の添加剤を溶媒に溶解又は分散させて、ドープを調製する。
得られたドープを、支持体上に流延する。ドープの流延は、流延ダイから吐出させて行うことができる。
なお、残留溶媒量を測定する際の加熱処理とは、140℃、30分の加熱処理をいう。
得られた膜状物を乾燥させる。乾燥は、一段階で行ってもよいし、多段階で行ってもよい。また、乾燥は、必要に応じて延伸しながら行ってもよい。
予備乾燥温度(延伸前の乾燥温度)は、延伸温度よりも高い温度でありうる。具体的には、熱可塑性樹脂のガラス転移温度をTgとしたとき(Tg-50)~(Tg+50)℃であることが好ましい。予備乾燥温度が(Tg-50)℃以上であると、溶媒を適度に揮発させやすいため、搬送性(ハンドリング性)を高めやすく、(Tg+50)℃以下であると、溶媒が揮発しすぎないため、この後の延伸工程における延伸性が損なわれにくい。初期乾燥温度は、(a)テンター延伸機やローラーで搬送しながら非接触加熱型で乾燥させる場合は、延伸機内温度又は熱風温度などの雰囲気温度として測定されうる。
延伸は、求められる光学特性、例えばリターデーション値に応じて行えばよく、少なくとも一方の方向に延伸することが好ましく、互いに直交する二方向に延伸(例えば、膜状物の幅方向(TD方向)と、それと直交する搬送方向(MD方向)の二軸延伸)してもよい。
残留溶媒量をより低減させる観点から、延伸後に得られた膜状物をさらに乾燥させることが好ましい。例えば、延伸後に得られた膜状物を、ロールなどで搬送しながらさらに乾燥させることが好ましい。
得られた偏光板保護フィルムは、長尺状であることが好ましい。長尺状の偏光板保護フィルムは、ロール状に巻き取られて、ロール体となる。
本発明の別の実施形態である薄膜偏光板保護フィルムの製造方法は、1)薄膜偏光板保護フィルム用溶液を得る工程と、2)得られた薄膜偏光板保護フィルム用溶液を、支持体の表面に付与する工程と、3)付与された薄膜偏光板保護フィルム用溶液から溶媒を除去して、薄膜偏光板保護フィルムを形成する工程とを有する。
薄膜偏光板保護フィルム用溶液を得る工程は、前述の「ドープ」を調製する工程と同じであり、参照することができる。
次いで、得られた薄膜偏光板保護フィルム用溶液を、支持体の表面に付与する。具体的には、得られた薄膜偏光板保護フィルム用溶液を、支持体の表面に塗布する。支持体と薄膜偏光板保護フィルムの積層体は、「積層フィルム」ともいう。
支持体は、薄膜偏光板保護フィルム形成時に支持するものであり、通常、樹脂フィルムを含む。支持体の膜厚は、50μm以下であることが好ましい。支持体の膜厚は、薄膜だがある程度の強度(腰や剛性)が支持体として必要であることから、好ましくは、15~45μmの範囲であり、より好ましくは20~40μmの範囲内である。
次いで、支持体に付与された薄膜偏光板保護フィルム用溶液から溶媒を除去して、薄膜偏光板保護フィルムを形成する。
得られた帯状の薄膜偏光板保護フィルムを、その幅方向に直交する方向にロール状に巻き取り、ロール体とする。
本発明に用いられる薄膜偏光板保護フィルムの製造は、例えば図4に示される製造装置によって行うことができる。
薄膜偏光板保護フィルムは、薄膜偏光板保護フィルム用溶液を塗布して得られることから、当該溶液に由来する溶媒が残留していることがある。残留溶媒量は、使用溶媒・塗布液濃度、薄膜偏光板保護フィルムの乾燥に当てる風速、乾燥温度・時間、乾燥室の条件(外気か内気循環か)、塗布時のバックロールの加熱温度等によって制御しうる。
具体的には、薄膜偏光板保護フィルムの残留溶媒量は、800ppm未満であることがより好ましく、500~700ppm未満であることが、薄膜偏光板保護フィルムのカールバランスを考慮するとより好ましい。また、支持体にも溶媒が残存するような溶媒・塗布プロセスを選ぶことで、支持体と薄膜偏光板保護フィルムとの接着性が向上する。支持体の残存溶媒量としては10~100ppmの範囲が好ましい。
偏光子層は、一定方向の偏波面の光だけを通す素子層である。偏光子層としては、例えば、ポリビニルアルコール系フィルム、部分ホルマール化ポリビニルアルコール系フィルム、エチレン・酢酸ビニル共重合体系部分ケン化フィルム等の親水性高分子フィルムに、ヨウ素や二色性染料の二色性物質を吸着させて一軸延伸したもの、ポリビニルアルコールの脱水処理物やポリ塩化ビニルの脱塩酸処理物等ポリエン系配向フィルム等が挙げられる。これらの中でも、ポリビニルアルコール系フィルムとヨウ素等の二色性物質からなる偏光子層が好適である。これらの偏光子層の厚さは特に制限されないが、一般的に5~80μm程度である。
位相差フィルムは、位相差を有し、光学補償層として機能し得るもののいずれも用いることができる。位相差を有する透明フィルムを用いる場合、その位相差特性は、光学補償に必要とされる値に適宜調整することができる。
ポリカーボネート樹脂としては、特に限定なく種々のものを使用でき、化学的性質及び物性の点から、芳香族ポリカーボネート樹脂が好ましく、特に、フルオレン骨格を有するポリカーボネートや、ビスフェノールA系ポリカーボネート樹脂が好ましい。その中でも、ビスフェノールAにベンゼン環、シクロヘキサン環、及び脂肪族炭化水素基等を導入したビスフェノールA誘導体を用いたものがより好ましい。さらに、ビスフェノールAの中央の炭素に対して、非対称に上記官能基が導入された誘導体を用いて得られた、単位分子内の異方性を減少させた構造のポリカーボネート樹脂が特に好ましい。
位相差フィルムは、上で説明した偏光板保護フィルムと同様に、溶融流延法、溶液流延法、カレンダー成形法等の公知の成形方法により製造できる。溶融流延法、溶液流延法を用いることが好ましく、溶液流延法が特に好ましい。
偏光子層と偏光板保護フィルム及び偏光子層と位相差フィルムとは、例えば、後述する粘着剤層を介して接着されることが好ましい。粘着剤層は、水系粘着剤を乾燥させて得られる層であってもよいし、活性線硬化性粘着剤の硬化物層であってもよい。また、粘着剤層には、金属化合物フィラーを含有させることができる。
粘着剤層は、本発明に用いられる偏光板に任意に設けられる。粘着剤層を有することで、当該偏光板を有機EL素子の視認側に貼合した有機EL表示装置を作製する際の作業性が向上する。図3に断面図を示す偏光板10Aは、偏光板が粘着剤層を有する場合の一例である。偏光板10Aは、位相差フィルムの偏光子層とは反対側に粘着剤層を有する。
偏光子層と偏光板保護フィルム及び偏光子層と位相差フィルムとは、例えば、接着剤層を介して接着されることもできる。接着剤層は、水系接着剤を乾燥させて得られる層であってもよいし、活性線硬化性接着剤の硬化物層であってもよい。また、接着剤層には、金属化合物フィラーを含有させることができる。
偏光板の別の実施態様としては、図2の偏光板10Bで示すようにハードコート層を有し、当該偏光板は、視認側からハードコート層4、偏光板保護フィルム1、偏光子層2、位相差フィルム3となるように積層することで得られる。
ハードコート層4は、JISK5600-2014に規定される鉛筆硬度試験で「HB」以上の硬度を示すことが好ましく、該硬度を得るために活性線硬化性樹脂の硬化物を含有することが好ましい。活性線硬化性樹脂としては、エチレン性不飽和二重結合を有するモノマーを含む成分が好ましく用いられる。活性線硬化性樹脂としては、紫外線硬化性樹脂や電子線硬化性樹脂が挙げられるが、紫外線照射により硬化する樹脂が、機械的膜強度(耐擦傷性、鉛筆硬度)に優れる点から好ましい。
プライマー層を構成する材料としては、偏光板保護フィルムとハードコート層又は偏光子層との密着性及び接着性を改善し得る任意の材料を用いることができる。また、材料の特性としては、密着性・接着性以外に、透明性、熱安定性などに優れることが好ましい。このような材料としては、ポリウレタン、ポリオレフィン、ポリエステル、ポリ塩化ビニリデン、アクリル系ポリマー、変性シリコーン系ポリマー、スチレンブタジエンゴム、カルボジイミド化合物、イソシアネート等で構成される樹脂が挙げられる。
本発明に用いられる偏光板において、本発明に係る色素化合物(化合物(D))を含有する層の光透過率は以下の範囲にあることが好ましい。
化合物(D)を含む層の波長390nmにおける光透過率は、9%以下であることが好ましく、7%以下であることがより好ましく、5%以下であることがさらに好ましく、3%以下であることが特に好ましい。波長390nmにおける光透過率が前記範囲であることにより、入射する紫外線をより高度に遮断することができるため、有機EL素子の劣化を著しく抑制することができるため、好ましい。
本発明に用いられる偏光板においては、波長380nmにおける光透過率が、9%以下であることが好ましく、7%以下であることがより好ましく、5%以下であることがさらに好ましく、3%以下であることが特に好ましい。また、偏光板の波長400nmにおける光透過率は、20%以下であることが好ましく、15%以下であることが好ましく、10%以下であることがより好ましい。
本発明の偏光板保護フィルムを具備した偏光板は、液晶表示装置(LCD)、有機EL表示装置(OLED)やタッチパネル等の各種表示装置に用いることができる。特に、有機EL表示装置の円偏光板として本発明に係る偏光板を用いることが好ましい。
(最大吸収波長の測定)
実施例で用いる色素化合物(以下、化合物(D)という。)の最大吸収波長は、株式会社島津製作所製紫外可視分光光度計UV-2450を用いて、色素化合物のクロロホルム中での吸収スペクトルを測定することによって求め、表Iに記載した。表中「化合物1」とは、本発明に係る式1で表される構造を有する化合物である。

微粒子;ポリマーシランカップリング剤被覆シリカ 100質量部
上記ポリマーシランカップリング剤被覆シリカは次のように作製した。容器にメタクリル酸メチル(共栄社化学(株)製:ライトエステルM)30mL、3-メルカプトプロピルトリメトキシシラン(信越化学(株)製:KBM-803)1mLと溶媒としてテトラヒドロフラン100mL、重合開始剤としてアゾイソブチロニトリル(関東化学(株)製:AIBN)50mgを添加し、N2ガスで置換した後、80℃で3時間加熱してポリマーシランカップリング剤を調製した。得られたポリマーシランカップリング剤の分子量は16000であった。なお、分子量の測定は、ゲルパーミエーションクロマトグラフィー装置で測定した。
上記で作製したプライマー層付きの偏光板保護フィルムのハードコート層側プライマー層上に、上記で調液したハードコート層形成用組成物をバーコーターでドライ膜厚が2.5μmになるように塗布し、50℃の乾燥炉で40秒間ドライヤー乾燥させて溶媒を揮発させた。そして、この状態で酸素濃度が1.0体積%以下の雰囲気になるよう窒素パージしながら、紫外線ランプを用いて照射部の照度が100mW/cm2で、照射量を0.2J/cm2として塗布層を硬化させ、ハードコート層付き偏光板保護フィルムを作製した。
実施例1と同様にして、上記ハードコート層付き偏光板保護フィルム、偏光子層及び位相差フィルムを用いて偏光板を作製し、それぞれ以下の離型フィルムを剥離した粘着剤層を介して、偏光板と有機EL素子と貼合し、有機EL表示装置201~227を作製し評価した。
アクリル酸2-エチルヘキシル(2EHA)78質量部、N-ビニル-2-ピロリドン(NVP)18質量部、及びアクリル酸2-ヒドロキシエチル(HEA)15質量部から構成されるモノマー混合物に、光重合開始剤として、1-ヒドロキシシクロヘキシルフェニルケトン(商品名:イルガキュア184、BASFジャパン(株)製)0.035質量部、2,2-ジメトキシ-1,2-ジフェニルエタン-1-オン(商品名:イルガキュア651、BASFジャパン(株)製)0.035質量部を配合した後、粘度(計測条件:BH粘度計No.5ローター、10rpm、測定温度30℃)が約20Pa・sになるまで紫外線を照射して、上記モノマー成分の一部が重合したプレポリマー組成物(重合率:8%)を得た。次に、該プレポリマー組成物に、ヘキサンジオールジアクリレート(HDDA)0.15質量部、シランカップリング剤(商品名:KBM-403、信越化学工業(株)製)0.3質量部を添加して混合し、アクリル系粘着剤組成物(a)を得た。
粘着剤組成物を、位相差フィルム上に、粘着剤層形成後の厚さが150μmとなるように塗布し、次いで、該粘着剤組成物層の表面に、離型フィルムを貼り合わせた。その後、照度:6.5mW/cm2、光量:1500mJ/cm2、ピーク波長:350nmの条件で紫外線照射を行い、粘着剤組成物層を光硬化させて、粘着剤層を形成した。
〈4〉発光ロスの評価
光透過率は、JIS K 7375:2008「プラスチック-全光線透過率及び全光線反射率の求め方」に従って、分光光度計(日立ハイテクサイエンス製U-3300)を用いて測定した。なお、光透過率が85%以上であるときに「◎」とし、80%以上85%未満であるときに「〇」とし、80%未満のときは「△」とした。光透過率が80%以上であるときは、発光ロスが小さいといえる。
上記作製した有機EL表示装置について、耐光性試験を行った。
(ただし、A0はキセノンランプ照射前の発光輝度、A100はキセノンランプ照射後の発光輝度である。)
なお、「発光輝度変化率」は値が大きいほど、表示素子の耐光性が高いことを示す。耐光性は、下記基準により評価した。
B:発光輝度変化率が80%以上、90%未満
C:発光輝度変化率が70%以上、80%未満
D:発光輝度変化率が70%未満
以上の層構成及び評価結果を、下記表IIIに示す。
