Description

Antiglare film and polarizing plate having the same
Technical Field
The present invention relates to an antiglare film useful for image display equipment, and more particularly, to an antiglare film that can provide reliable antiglare properties at low haze.
Background
With the increasing development of display technology, image display devices such as Liquid Crystal Displays (LCDs), organic light emitting diode displays (OLEDs), etc., demands for display performance such as high contrast ratio, wide viewing angle, high luminance, thin, large, high definition, and additional function diversification have been widely put forward.
In general, the display is used in an environment where an external light source is mostly present, which generates a reflection effect on the surface of the panel to cause glare and further reduce the visual and organoleptic viewing effects, so that an optical film with a surface treatment, such as an antiglare film or an antireflection film, is usually required to be added on the surface of the display to modulate light, reduce reflection and reduce the influence of the reflected light of external clutter on the displayed image.
In order to provide an antiglare film with excellent antiglare properties in a bright room environment and with high contrast in a dark room environment, a method is known in which a low-haze antiglare film can be developed using small-particle-diameter organic fine particles to achieve high contrast. In the related art, it has been suggested to apply an antiglare layer containing organic fine particles on a transparent substrate, and to form an uneven structure on a film surface when the organic fine particles are applied by aggregating the organic fine particles with nano particles to provide antiglare properties and achieve a low glare effect. However, the aggregation of organic microparticles and nanoparticles is not easily controlled, which tends to cause a less-than-expected uneven structure on the film surface, resulting in a decrease in antiglare properties or an increase in optical rotation. Further, an antiglare layer containing organic fine particles having a large particle diameter and/or micron-sized silica particles is coated on a transparent substrate, and the haze is high due to a strong light diffusion effect by the fine particles, so that an antiglare film having a low haze but good antiglare property is not provided.
Accordingly, there is a need for an antiglare film that has low haze but provides satisfactory antiglare properties.

Furthermore, the monofunctional unsaturated monomer may optionally be a chain transfer agent having vinyl groups for controlling the molecular weight, such as 2, 4-dicyanopent-1-ene, 2, 4-dicyano-4-methylpent-1-ene, 2, 4-diphenyl-4-methylpent-1-ene, 2-cyano-4-methyl-4-phenyl-pent-1-ene, dimethyl 2, 2-dimethyl-4-methylenepentane-1, 5-dicarboxylic acid, dibutyl 2, 2-dimethyl-4-methylenepentane-1, 5-dicarboxylic acid, and the like.

When the relative ratio of the silica nanoparticles to the surfactant containing an acrylate-ether group is outside the above range, the size of the floccules of the silica nanoparticles cannot be controlled, and the antiglare film has defects such as low antiglare property, excessive haze, and appearance of the film surface. Furthermore, in a preferred embodiment of the antiglare film of the present invention, the relative weight ratio of the silica nanoparticles of the antiglare layer to the acrylate-ether group-containing surfactant is preferably from 0.5 to 80.
In the antiglare film of the present invention, the micron-sized floccules of the silica nanoparticles in the antiglare layer may be reagglomerated, disaggregated, or aggregated into a co-continuous network structure, and reagglomeration may help to improve the antiglare property again without reagglomerating and affecting the antiglare property.
In still another embodiment of the antiglare film of the present invention, other silica nanoparticles having a higher degree of hydrophobic modification may be added to the antiglare layer without affecting the physical properties of the antiglare film, so that the silica nanoparticles have a large difference in polarity from the resin and are distributed on the surface of the antiglare layer, thereby adjusting the physical properties of the antiglare film surface, for example, adding silica nanoparticles resistant to surface scratches.
In the antiglare film of the present invention, the acrylic binder resin used for the antiglare layer comprises a (meth) acrylate composition and an initiator, wherein the (meth) acrylate composition in the acrylic binder resin comprises 35 to 50 parts by weight of a urethane (meth) acrylate oligomer having a functionality of between 6 and 15, 12 to 20 parts by weight of a (meth) acrylate monomer having a functionality of 3 to 6, and 1.5 to 12 parts by weight of a (meth) acrylate monomer having a functionality of less than 3.
