Description

【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、液晶表示パネルを構成する液晶セルの光源側表面に貼着積層する積層偏光フィルムの製造方法に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
図1に示すように、液晶表示パネルを構成する液晶セルの光源側表面には、直線偏光フィルムが貼合されている。即ち、液晶セル10の光源側表面に、接着剤層12により直線偏光フィルム14が貼着積層され、液晶表示パネルが構成される。液晶表示パネルは、年々、画像がより鮮明であることや光源の消費電力をより低減することが要求されている。このため、液晶表示パネルの光源の消費電力を低減するために、直線偏光フィルムの光源側に、直線偏光フィルムの透過軸に平行でない光をいったん反射し、透過することにより、光源からの光を効率的に利用するための直線偏光分離フィルムを貼着積層した積層偏光フィルムが使用されつつある。この積層偏光フィルムは、現状は大きくても1辺が150cm程度である。
【0003】
図2には、積層偏光フィルム18の構成例を示した。直線偏光フィルム20と直線偏光分離フィルム22とが接着剤層24を介して貼着積層されている。直線偏光フィルム20の他面には、積層偏光フィルムを液晶セルに貼着するための接着剤層26並びに該接着剤層26を保護する剥離フィルム層28が設けられている。また直線偏光分離フィルムの反対面には、保護フィルム30が積層されている。保護フィルム30は、最終工程で剥離除去される。
【0004】
上記の構成を有する積層偏光フィルムは、直線偏光フィルムと直線偏光分離フィルムとを接着剤により積層する工程を経て製造される(例えば、特許文献1および特許文献2参照)。
【0005】
【特許文献1】

【特許文献2】
特開2000−275436号公報(段落[0034])
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかるに、上記工程を経て得られた積層偏光フィルムを放置すると、液晶セルに貼着する側である直線偏光フィルム側(図2におけるA面側)が凹となるようにカール(以下、「逆カール」と称する。)を発生し、この逆カールは積層偏光フィルムの1辺が8cm以上、特に20cm以上の場合に顕著であることが判明した。かかる大きな逆カールは、剥離フィルム28を剥離して液晶セル10に貼着する際に、接着面に気泡が残りやすくなり液晶パネルに不良を発生する原因となる。
【0006】
このため、積層偏光フィルムは実質的な逆カールを発生せず、カールしないか、或いはカールしても直線偏光フィルム側が凸となるカール(以下、「正カール」と称する。)となることが求められる。
【0007】
本発明の目的は、実質的な逆カールを発生することのない積層偏光フィルムの製造方法を提供することにある。
【0008】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明者らは、上記目的を達成すべく、実質的な逆カールを生じることのない積層偏光フィルムを得るべく鋭意研究したところ、直線偏光分離フィルムの水分率を一定範囲に調整した後に直線偏光フィルムと積層することにより、逆カールを発生することのない積層偏光フィルムが得られることを見出し、本発明を完成した。
【0009】
即ち、本発明は、直線偏光フィルムと直線偏光分離フィルムとが積層された積層偏光フィルムの製造方法であって、
前記直線偏光分離フィルムがポリエステルフィルムであり、前記直線偏光フィルムがポリビニルアルコール系フィルムとトリアセチルセルロースフィルムの積層フィルムであり、積層前に、直線偏光分離フィルムである前記ポリエステルフィルムの水分率を0.3〜0.8重量%に調整する水分率調整工程を有することを特徴とする。
【0010】
本発明の方法によって、実質的な逆カールのない積層偏光フィルムが得られる。ここで実質的な逆カールとは、液晶セルに貼着する際に気泡が残る等の不良を発生させる程度の逆カールを意味し、若干の逆カールは許容され、その程度は20インチサイズの積層偏光フィルムで、下記するカール量で約1〜2mmである。逆カール量が約3mm以上になると液晶パネルに不良を発生する原因となり、好ましくない。
【0011】
【発明の実施の形態】
本発明においては、直線偏光分離フィルムの水分率を0.3〜0.8重量%、より好ましくは0.4〜0.6重量%に調整した後に直線偏光フィルムとの積層を行う。水分率の調整は、直線偏光分離フィルムを乾燥状態から加湿して所定の水分率に調整できればよく、例えば、フィルムを水に浸漬する方法、水を霧状、ミスト状、シャワー状にて接触させる方法、高湿度状態のチャンバー内を通過させたり、原反を高湿度状態のチャンバー内に保存する方法等により行うことができる。
【0012】
水分率の調整方法としては、直線偏光分離フィルムを走行させながら、フィルム上に水分をミスト状に噴霧して行う方法が好ましく用いられる。水分を付着させたフィルムは巻き取り、静置することにより、フィルム全体が水分調整される。フィルムは一定速度で連続して走行させるのが好ましい。速度を変えて行うことによって、水分率を調整できる。
【0013】
直線偏光分離フィルムは、通常、保護フィルムが粘着した状態で取り扱われ、その場合は、水分を保護フィルム上に噴霧するのが好ましい。
【0014】
水分率は、一般に樹脂や無機粉体の水分率の測定に使用される測定方法により測定する。具体的には、測定対象物を加熱して水分を除去し、加熱前と加熱後の重量の差から水分率を求める。
【0015】
上述の発明においては、前記直線偏光分離フィルムが、ポリエステルフィルムであることが好ましい。
【0016】
直線偏光分離フィルムは、ポリエステル、特にポリエチレンナフタレートやポリエチレンナフタレート単位を主成分とする共重合体を原料として性能に優れたものが得られ、例えば、商品名「DBEF」(住友スリーエム社)として市販されている。このようなポリエステルからなる直線偏光分離フィルムは、製造後、そのまま原反として巻き取られて供給されるため、原反フィルムの水分率は実測すると0.1〜0.2重量%であり、その樹脂の飽和水分率(約0.8重量%)より低く、水分率の高い直線偏光フィルムと積層した時に水分の移行により逆カールがより発生やすいものと考えられる。
【0017】
なお、直線偏光分離フィルムは、上述したとおり、透過軸方向に平行な光を透過し、透過軸と直交する反射軸方向に平行な光を反射する機能を有するフィルムであり、反射型偏光フィルム、非吸収型偏光フィルム、あるいは反射された光が再利用され輝度が向上するので輝度上昇フィルムとも称される。
【0018】
一方、これに対して直線偏光フィルムは、透過軸方向に平行な光を透過し、透過軸と直交する吸収軸方向に平行な光を吸収する機能を有するフィルムであり、吸収型偏光フィルムとも称される。
【0019】
直線偏光フィルムは、公知の直線偏光フィルムを使用する。直線偏光フィルムは、通常トリアセチルセルロース(TAC)フィルムを主材料として構成され、好ましい構成としては、TACフィルムとポリビニルアルコール系フィルムとの積層フィルム、具体的にはTACフィルム/ポリビニルアルコール系フィルム/TACフィルムの少なくとも3層の構成を有するものが例示される。これら直線偏光フィルムを構成する樹脂材料は、いずれも極性が高く、飽和水分率の高い材料である。一般的に使用される上記のような多層構造の直線偏光フィルムは、それ自体のカールを抑制するために水分率は比較的高く、例えば2.5重量%程度に調整されている。このため、乾燥状態のポリエステル系直線偏光分離フィルムとの積層により、水分が直線偏光フィルムから直線偏光分離フィルム側に移行してカールが発生するものと考えられる。
【0020】
直線偏光分離フィルムの水分率を調整する水分率調整工程を設けることにより、得られる積層偏光フィルムが逆カールを生じにくくなる理由は明らかではないが、水分率が高い直線偏光フィルムから水分率の低い直線偏光分離フィルムに水分が移行することによる各フィルムの寸法変化が抑制されることがひとつの大きな原因であると推定される。
【0021】
通常、直線偏光分離フィルムの一方の面にポリエチレンテレフタレート等からなる保護フィルムが積層されている。直線偏光フィルムはこの保護フィルムが積層されている面と反対の面に積層される。保護フィルムは液晶セルに粘着した後に剥離除去される。
【0022】
図3に水分率調整工程の好適な形態として、直線偏光分離フィルムを走行させながら、フィルム上に水分をミスト状に噴霧して行う方法を模式図にて示した。直線偏光分離フィルム22は、ロール32から巻き戻されてミスト発生装置36を矢印方向に通過してミストを付着した状態で再びロール34に巻き取られる。前述のように、ミストは保護フィルム側に供給することが好ましい。図3に示した例では、ミスト発生装置36は2基設けられているが、2基に限定されるものではない。ミスト発生装置36には、カバー38が設けられていてミストが不要に広がることが防止し、最小限のミスト量で十分な水分調整が可能に構成されている。ミストは直線偏光分離フィルム22の片面から付着されるが、ロール34に巻き取ることにより、結果的に両面に付着することになる。
【0023】
【実施例】
以下、本発明の構成と効果を具体的に示す実施例等について説明する。
【0024】
なお、カール量は、直線偏光フィルム側を下にして平板上に置いたときに、積層偏光フィルムの四頂点の平板からの高さの平均値として求めた。プラスは正カール、マイナスは逆カールであることを示す。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a method for producing a laminated polarizing film that is laminated on a light source side surface of a liquid crystal cell constituting a liquid crystal display panel.
[0002]
[Prior art]
As shown in FIG. 1, a linearly polarizing film is bonded to the light source side surface of the liquid crystal cell constituting the liquid crystal display panel. That is, the linearly polarizing film 14 is adhered and laminated on the light source side surface of the liquid crystal cell 10 by the adhesive layer 12 to constitute a liquid crystal display panel. Liquid crystal display panels are required year by year to have clearer images and to further reduce the power consumption of the light source. For this reason, in order to reduce the power consumption of the light source of the liquid crystal display panel, light that is not parallel to the transmission axis of the linearly polarizing film is once reflected and transmitted to the light source side of the linearly polarizing film, so that the light from the light source is transmitted. A laminated polarizing film in which a linearly polarized light separating film for efficient use is laminated is being used. At present, this laminated polarizing film has a side of about 150 cm at most.
[0003]
In FIG. 2, the structural example of the laminated polarizing film 18 was shown. The linearly polarizing film 20 and the linearly polarized light separating film 22 are bonded and laminated via an adhesive layer 24. On the other surface of the linear polarizing film 20, an adhesive layer 26 for attaching the laminated polarizing film to the liquid crystal cell and a release film layer 28 for protecting the adhesive layer 26 are provided. A protective film 30 is laminated on the opposite surface of the linearly polarized light separating film. The protective film 30 is peeled and removed in the final step.
[0004]
The laminated polarizing film having the above-described configuration is manufactured through a process of laminating a linearly polarizing film and a linearly polarized light separating film with an adhesive (see, for example, Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2).
[0005]

[Patent Document 2]
JP 2000-275436 A (paragraph [0034])
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, when the laminated polarizing film obtained through the above steps is left as it is, the linearly polarizing film side (the A-surface side in FIG. 2), which is the side to be attached to the liquid crystal cell, is curled (hereinafter referred to as “reverse curling”). This reverse curl has been found to be prominent when one side of the laminated polarizing film is 8 cm or more, particularly 20 cm or more. Such large reverse curl causes bubbles to remain on the adhesive surface when the release film 28 is peeled off and attached to the liquid crystal cell 10, causing a defect in the liquid crystal panel.
[0006]
For this reason, the laminated polarizing film does not generate a substantial reverse curl and does not curl, or even if it is curled, the linearly polarizing film side is required to be a curl (hereinafter referred to as a “normal curl”). It is done.
[0007]
The objective of this invention is providing the manufacturing method of the laminated polarizing film which does not generate | occur | produce a substantial reverse curl.
[0008]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to achieve the above object, the present inventors have intensively studied to obtain a laminated polarizing film that does not cause substantial reverse curl. After adjusting the moisture content of the linearly polarized light separating film to a certain range, linearly polarized light is obtained. The inventors have found that a laminated polarizing film that does not generate reverse curl can be obtained by laminating with a film, and the present invention has been completed.
[0009]
That is, the present invention is a method for producing a laminated polarizing film in which a linearly polarizing film and a linearly polarized light separating film are laminated,
The linearly polarized light separating film is a polyester film, the linearly polarizing film is a laminated film of a polyvinyl alcohol film and a triacetyl cellulose film, and the moisture content of the polyester film that is a linearly polarized light separating film is set to 0. 0 before lamination. It has the moisture content adjustment process adjusted to 3 to 0.8 weight%, It is characterized by the above-mentioned.
[0010]
By the method of the present invention, a laminated polarizing film without substantial reverse curl can be obtained. Here, the substantial reverse curl means a reverse curl that causes a defect such as a bubble remaining when being stuck to a liquid crystal cell, and a slight reverse curl is allowed. The laminated polarizing film has a curl amount described below of about 1 to 2 mm. If the reverse curl amount is about 3 mm or more, it may cause a defect in the liquid crystal panel, which is not preferable.
[0011]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
In the present invention, the linearly polarized light separating film is laminated with the linearly polarizing film after adjusting the moisture content to 0.3 to 0.8% by weight, more preferably 0.4 to 0.6% by weight. The moisture content may be adjusted as long as the linearly polarized light separating film can be humidified from the dry state and adjusted to a predetermined moisture content. For example, the film is immersed in water, and the water is contacted in a mist, mist, or shower shape. It can be carried out by a method, a method of passing through a chamber in a high humidity state, a method of storing an original fabric in a chamber in a high humidity state, or the like.
[0012]
As a method for adjusting the moisture content, a method in which moisture is sprayed on the film in a mist form while the linearly polarized light separating film is running is preferably used. The film to which moisture has been attached is wound up and allowed to stand to adjust the moisture of the entire film. The film is preferably run continuously at a constant speed. The moisture content can be adjusted by changing the speed.
[0013]
The linearly polarized light separating film is usually handled in a state where the protective film is adhered, and in that case, it is preferable to spray moisture on the protective film.
[0014]
The moisture content is measured by a measurement method generally used for measuring the moisture content of a resin or inorganic powder. Specifically, the measurement object is heated to remove moisture, and the moisture content is determined from the difference in weight before and after heating.
[0015]
In the above-mentioned invention, it is preferable that the linearly polarized light separating film is a polyester film.
[0016]
The linearly polarized light separating film is obtained by using polyester, particularly polyethylene naphthalate or a copolymer mainly composed of polyethylene naphthalate unit as a raw material, and has, for example, a trade name “DBEF” (Sumitomo 3M) It is commercially available. Since the linearly polarized light separating film made of such a polyester is wound and supplied as it is after the production, the moisture content of the raw film is 0.1 to 0.2% by weight when measured. It is considered that reverse curl is more likely to occur due to the migration of moisture when laminated with a linear polarizing film having a moisture content lower than the saturated moisture content (about 0.8% by weight) of the resin.
[0017]
The linearly polarized light separating film is a film having a function of transmitting light parallel to the transmission axis direction and reflecting light parallel to the reflection axis direction orthogonal to the transmission axis, as described above. It is also referred to as a non-absorbing polarizing film or a brightness enhancement film because the reflected light is reused to improve the brightness.
[0018]
On the other hand, the linearly polarizing film is a film having a function of transmitting light parallel to the transmission axis direction and absorbing light parallel to the absorption axis direction perpendicular to the transmission axis, and is also referred to as an absorption polarizing film. Is done.
[0019]
As the linearly polarizing film, a known linearly polarizing film is used. The linearly polarizing film is usually composed of a triacetyl cellulose (TAC) film as a main material, and as a preferred structure, a laminated film of a TAC film and a polyvinyl alcohol film, specifically, a TAC film / polyvinyl alcohol film / TAC. What has the structure of the at least 3 layer of a film is illustrated. Any of the resin materials constituting these linearly polarizing films is a material having a high polarity and a high saturation moisture content. The linear polarizing film having a multilayer structure as described above generally used has a relatively high moisture content in order to suppress curling of itself, and is adjusted to, for example, about 2.5% by weight. For this reason, it is considered that moisture is transferred from the linearly polarized light film to the linearly polarized light separated film side to cause curling due to lamination with the dried polyester-based linearly polarized light separated film.
[0020]
Although it is not clear why the resulting laminated polarizing film is less likely to cause reverse curl by providing a moisture content adjusting step for adjusting the moisture content of the linearly polarized light separating film, the moisture content is low from a linearly polarizing film having a high moisture content. It is presumed that one major cause is that the dimensional change of each film due to the transfer of moisture to the linearly polarized light separating film is suppressed.
[0021]
Usually, a protective film made of polyethylene terephthalate or the like is laminated on one surface of the linearly polarized light separating film. The linearly polarizing film is laminated on the surface opposite to the surface on which the protective film is laminated. The protective film is peeled and removed after adhering to the liquid crystal cell.
[0022]
FIG. 3 schematically shows a method of spraying moisture in a mist form on a film while running a linearly polarized light separating film as a preferred embodiment of the moisture content adjusting step. The linearly polarized light separating film 22 is rewound from the roll 32, passes through the mist generator 36 in the direction of the arrow, and is wound around the roll 34 again with the mist attached thereto. As described above, the mist is preferably supplied to the protective film side. In the example shown in FIG. 3, two mist generating devices 36 are provided, but the number is not limited to two. The mist generating device 36 is provided with a cover 38 to prevent the mist from spreading unnecessarily, and to enable sufficient moisture adjustment with a minimum amount of mist. The mist is attached from one side of the linearly polarized light separating film 22, but as a result, the mist is attached to both sides by being wound on the roll 34.
[0023]
【Example】
Examples and the like specifically showing the configuration and effects of the present invention will be described below.
[0024]
The curl amount was determined as an average value of the height from the flat plate at the four vertices of the laminated polarizing film when the linear polarizing film side was placed on the flat plate. A plus indicates a positive curl and a minus indicates a reverse curl.
[0025]
Example 1
A linearly polarized light separating film “DBEF” made of polyethylene naphthalate with a thickness of 132 μm (manufactured by Sumitomo 3M Limited, a protective film of polyethylene terephthalate laminated on one side, moisture content: about 0.2% by weight) cut into 308 mm × 235 mm Five of these were prepared and each was left for 24 hours in an environment with a relative humidity of 80% and a temperature of 20 ° C. The water content after standing was 0.62% by weight (the water content was measured by peeling off the protective film). This linearly polarized light separating film was immediately put in a moisture-proof bag and sealed, taken out after 2 hours, and a linearly polarizing film was laminated on the surface where the protective film was not laminated to obtain a laminated polarizing film. An adhesion roller was used for lamination.
[0026]
The linearly polarizing film used has a water content of about 2.5% by weight, has a three-layer structure of TAC / polyvinyl alcohol film / TAC (80 μm / 25 μm / 80 μm), and is a 25 μm acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive. It had a layer.
[0027]
The obtained laminated polarizing film was sealed in a moisture-proof bag, taken out after the time shown in Table 1 at 20 ° C., and the curl amount was measured. The measurement results of the curl amount are shown in Table 1.
[0028]
(Example 2)
The linearly polarized light separating film “DBEF” was left for 24 hours in an environment with a relative humidity of 64% and a temperature of 22 ° C. The water content after standing was 0.50% by weight (the water content was measured by peeling off the protective film). A laminated polarizing film was produced in the same manner as in Example 1 except that this linearly polarized light separating film was used.
The obtained laminated polarizing film was sealed in a moisture-proof bag, taken out after the time shown in Table 1 at 20 ° C., and the curl amount was measured. The measurement results are shown in Table 1.
[0029]
(Comparative Example 1)
Five pieces of a linearly polarized light separating film “DBEF” having a thickness of 132 μm (water content 0.17% by weight) cut to 308 mm × 235 mm were prepared and left for 24 hours in an environment of relative humidity 24% and temperature 22 ° C. However, the moisture content remained at 0.17% by weight (the moisture content was measured by peeling off the protective film).
[0030]
A laminated polarizing film was produced in exactly the same manner as in Example 1 except that the film having a water content of 0.17% by weight was used as the linearly polarized light separating film.
The obtained laminated polarizing film was sealed in a moisture-proof bag, taken out after the time shown in Table 1 at 20 ° C., and the curl amount was measured. The measurement results of the curl amount are shown in Table 1.

From the results shown in Table 1, the laminated polarizing film of the present invention laminated with the linear polarizing film after humidifying the linearly polarized light separating film and adjusting the moisture content is positively curled and bonded to the liquid crystal cell. The laminated polarizing film of Comparative Example 1, which was a good product that did not contain air bubbles but was not provided with a moisture content adjusting step, caused reverse curling.
[0032]
(Example 3)
The moisture content of the linearly polarized light separation film was adjusted using the humidifier shown in FIG. While the linearly polarized light separating film 22 was continuously run at a constant speed with the protective film attached, water was sprayed on the protective film in a mist form, and was wound around another core as it was. The amount of moisture attached was changed by changing the running speed of the film. The wound film roll was allowed to stand for 2 days to obtain a linearly polarized light separating film with adjusted moisture content. The protective film of the linearly polarized light separation film was peeled off, and the moisture content was measured.
[0033]
The obtained linearly polarized light separation film with adjusted moisture content was immediately put in a moisture-proof bag, sealed, taken out after 2 hours and laminated with a linearly polarizing film in the same manner as in Example 1 on the surface where the protective film was not laminated. A laminated polarizing film having a size of 20 inches (420 mm × 318 mm) was obtained.
The obtained laminated polarizing film was sealed in a moisture-proof bag, taken out after 65 hours at 20 ° C., and the curl amount was measured. The measurement results of the curl amount (mm) are shown in Table 2.
[0034]
[Table 2]
Figure 0004399523
When the moisture content was 0.30% by weight, the curl amount was −1.4 mm, and the curl was slightly reversed, but this was within the allowable range, and the obtained laminated polarizing film could be used without any problem.
[0035]
【The invention's effect】
When adhering to a liquid crystal cell by the method of the present invention, a bubble remains on the adhesive surface, and a linearly polarizing film and a linearly polarized light separating film that do not generate substantial reverse curl that causes defects in the liquid crystal panel are formed. A laminated polarizing film is obtained.
