Description

附載體薄膜之透明導電性薄膜及使用其之觸控面板Transparent conductive film with carrier film and touch panel using the same

本發明關於包含透明導電性薄膜與載體薄膜的附載體薄膜之透明導電性薄膜及使用其之觸控面板,為尤其防止電阻值異常及膜剝離之有用技術。The present invention relates to a transparent conductive film with a carrier film including a transparent conductive film and a carrier film, and a touch panel using the same, and is a useful technique for particularly preventing abnormal resistance values and film peeling.

背景技術   於觸控面板等之領域中,近年來日益追求其薄型化,伴隨於此亦希望透明導電性薄膜本身之薄型化。作為一般的觸控面板之方式,可列舉電阻膜方式、靜電容方式等。近年來,觸控面板大多採用之靜電容方式,廣泛使用聚對苯二甲酸乙二酯(PET)作為透明導電性薄膜之基材薄膜,因為具有可撓性、加工性優異,且耐衝擊性優異、為輕量等優點。BACKGROUND ART In the field of touch panels and the like, thickness reduction has been increasingly pursued in recent years, and along with this, the thickness reduction of the transparent conductive film itself is also desired. Examples of a general touch panel method include a resistive film method and a capacitive method. In recent years, the capacitive method of most touch panels is widely used. Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is widely used as the base film of transparent conductive films, because of its flexibility, excellent processability, and impact resistance. Excellent and lightweight.

隨著基材薄膜之薄型化,為了確保製造步驟階段中之基材薄膜之處理性,在基材薄膜之與透明導電層相反之面側經由黏著劑層貼合之表面保護薄膜之必要性提高。一般而言,表面保護薄膜與基材薄膜相同,廣泛使用PET。With the thinning of the substrate film, in order to ensure the rationality of the substrate film in the manufacturing step stage, the necessity of a surface protective film bonded via an adhesive layer on the side of the substrate film opposite to the transparent conductive layer has increased. . In general, the surface protection film is the same as the base film, and PET is widely used.

於專利文獻1中揭示有一種非晶質透明導電性積層體,其於以PET作為基材之透明導電性薄膜上,在未形成透明導電層之面側利用黏著劑層貼合並積層以PET作為基材之保護薄膜。Patent Document 1 discloses an amorphous transparent conductive laminated body, which is laminated on a transparent conductive film using PET as a substrate, and an adhesive layer is laminated on the surface side where the transparent conductive layer is not formed, and the laminated layer is made of PET. Protective film for substrate.

另一方面,用於靜電容方式之觸控面板電極用之ITO(銦錫複合氧化物),為形成高感度、高解析度之圖案,需要較低的表面電阻值。於專利文獻2中揭示有一種積層體,其於以PET作為薄膜基材之透明導電性薄膜上積層有保護薄膜。使用ITO作為透明導電體層時,雖然藉由利用加熱使ITO結晶化而使之低電阻化,但於該專利文獻2中進一步沈積四價金屬元素之氧化物之比例較大之銦系複合氧化物,沈積氧化銦或四價金屬元素之氧化物之比例較小之銦系複合氧化物,使ITO膜低電阻化。On the other hand, ITO (Indium Tin Composite Oxide) for touch panel electrodes of the electrostatic capacitance method requires a low surface resistance value in order to form a pattern with high sensitivity and high resolution. Patent Document 2 discloses a laminated body in which a protective film is laminated on a transparent conductive film using PET as a film substrate. When ITO is used as a transparent conductor layer, although ITO is crystallized by heating to reduce its resistance, in Patent Document 2 is further deposited an indium-based composite oxide having a large proportion of an oxide of a tetravalent metal element. Indium-based composite oxides with a small proportion of indium oxide or oxides of tetravalent metal elements are deposited to reduce the resistance of the ITO film.

發明概要   發明欲解決之問題 然而,PET薄膜由於在基材本身含有較多水分,受到該水分的影響,而無法充分地進行透明導電膜之結晶化。即,由於受到該水分的影響阻礙透明導電膜之結晶成長,不僅結晶化速度變慢,且電阻值上升或變動,發生透明導電性薄膜之電阻值異常、或透明導電膜與基材之密接性降低,於界面發生膜剝離。本發明者們進行研究發現:如此之薄膜水分量的影響,不僅來自於透明導電性薄膜之基材,在透明導電性薄膜結合有保護薄膜之形態中,來自於保護薄膜尤其大。SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, since the PET film contains a large amount of water in the base material, and is affected by the water, the transparent conductive film cannot be sufficiently crystallized. In other words, the crystalline growth of the transparent conductive film is hindered by the influence of the moisture, which not only slows down the crystallization rate, but also increases or changes the resistance value, causing abnormalities in the resistance value of the transparent conductive film or the adhesion between the transparent conductive film and the substrate Lowered, and film peeling occurred at the interface. The present inventors conducted research and found that the influence of the moisture content of such a film is not only from the base material of the transparent conductive film, but also from the protective film in the form where the transparent conductive film is combined with the protective film.

因此,本發明之目的在於提供一種附載體薄膜之透明導電性薄膜及使用其之觸控面板,其藉由控制附載體薄膜之透明導電性薄膜之保護薄膜之含水量,而防止透明導電性薄膜之電阻值異常,並且提高透明導電膜與基材之密接性,防止膜剝離。Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a transparent conductive film with a carrier film and a touch panel using the same, which can prevent the transparent conductive film by controlling the moisture content of the protective film of the transparent conductive film with a carrier film. The resistance value is abnormal, and the adhesion between the transparent conductive film and the substrate is improved to prevent the film from peeling.

用以解決問題之方法   本發明者們為解決上述問題而致力於研究,結果發現藉由採用下述構成可達成上述目的,終完成本發明。Means for Solving the Problems The present inventors have been working hard to solve the above problems, and as a result, have found that the above-mentioned objects can be achieved by adopting the following constitutions, and the present invention has finally been completed.

即,本發明之附載體薄膜之透明導電性薄膜,其特徵在於包含:透明導電性薄膜,包含透明樹脂薄膜及透明導電膜;以及載體薄膜,包含配置於前述透明導電性薄膜之形成有前述透明樹脂薄膜之面側之黏著劑層及保護薄膜;前述透明導電膜為銦錫複合氧化物,前述保護薄膜之含水量每10mm×10mm為1.0×10-3 g以下。再者,於不特別說明時,本發明中之各種物性值為利用實施例等中採用之方法所測定之值。That is, the transparent conductive film with a carrier film of the present invention includes a transparent conductive film including a transparent resin film and a transparent conductive film; and a carrier film including the transparent film formed on the transparent conductive film. The adhesive layer and the protective film on the front side of the resin film; the transparent conductive film is an indium tin composite oxide, and the moisture content of the protective film is 1.0 × 10 -3 g or less per 10mm × 10mm. In addition, unless otherwise specified, various physical property values in the present invention are values measured by a method used in the examples and the like.

藉由本發明之附載體薄膜之透明導電性薄膜,可防止透明導電性薄膜之電阻值異常,並且提高透明導電膜與基材之密接性,防止膜剝離。電阻值異常及膜剝離之機制雖然尚不明確,但認為原因如下。關於電阻值異常,認為尤其是受到保護薄膜之含水量的影響。其理由為,利用濺鍍透明導電膜之前的退火、除氣過程而進行基材的除氣,因此以水分、釋氣較少之狀態構成透明樹脂薄膜,相對於此,於後續步驟貼合之保護薄膜之水分直接影響製作完成之透明導電膜。進而,若保護薄膜含有較多水分,不但透明導電膜之結晶化無法充分進行、無法獲得所期望之電阻值,亦使面內電阻值之不均惡化。認為其原因為,由於基材所吸附之水分或接觸電漿等時所產生之氣體等作為雜質而作用,阻礙結晶成長。關於膜剝離(密接性),推測為於透明導電膜與基材(透明樹脂薄膜等)之界面進行氧化反應,藉此於界面附近局部地產生結晶性變形(晶格常數改變),因此密接性降低、發生膜剝離。即,認為因水分的影響,於透明導電膜與基材之界面進行氧化,因此密接性降低、發生膜剝離。The transparent conductive film with a carrier film according to the present invention can prevent abnormal resistance values of the transparent conductive film, improve the adhesion between the transparent conductive film and the substrate, and prevent film peeling. Although the mechanism of abnormal resistance value and film peeling is not clear, the reason is thought to be as follows. Regarding the abnormal resistance value, it is thought that it is particularly affected by the moisture content of the protective film. The reason is that the substrate is degassed by the annealing and degassing process before the transparent conductive film is sputtered. Therefore, a transparent resin film is formed in a state of less moisture and outgassing. The moisture of the protective film directly affects the completed transparent conductive film. Furthermore, if the protective film contains a large amount of water, not only does the crystallization of the transparent conductive film not proceed sufficiently, the desired resistance value cannot be obtained, but also unevenness in the in-plane resistance value is deteriorated. This is considered to be because the moisture adsorbed on the base material or the gas generated when contacting the plasma etc. acts as an impurity and hinders crystal growth. Regarding film peeling (adhesiveness), it is presumed that an oxidation reaction occurs at the interface between the transparent conductive film and the substrate (transparent resin film, etc.), thereby locally causing crystalline deformation (change in lattice constant) in the vicinity of the interface. Reduction and film peeling. That is, it is considered that due to the influence of moisture, the interface between the transparent conductive film and the substrate is oxidized, so that the adhesiveness is reduced and film peeling occurs.

本發明中之透明樹脂薄膜宜具有:第1硬化樹脂層,設置於前述透明導電膜之面側;及第2硬化樹脂層,設置於與前述透明導電膜相反之面側。由於在透明樹脂薄膜之兩面形成有硬化樹脂層,故在形成透明導電膜及圖案化或朝電子機器之搭載等各步驟中不易受損傷。The transparent resin film in the present invention preferably includes: a first hardened resin layer provided on a surface side of the transparent conductive film; and a second hardened resin layer provided on a surface side opposite to the transparent conductive film. Since the hardened resin layers are formed on both sides of the transparent resin film, it is difficult to be damaged in each step of forming a transparent conductive film, patterning, or mounting on an electronic device.

本發明之附載體薄膜之透明導電性薄膜宜於第1硬化樹脂層與前述透明導電膜之間進而具備一層以上之光學調整層。由於藉由光學調整層可控制折射率,故即使在將ITO膜圖案化時亦可減低圖案形成部與圖案開口部之反射率差,不易看見透明導電膜圖案,於觸控面板等顯示裝置中之視認性變得良好。The transparent conductive film with a carrier film of the present invention is preferably provided with one or more optical adjustment layers between the first cured resin layer and the transparent conductive film. Since the refractive index can be controlled by the optical adjustment layer, even when the ITO film is patterned, the difference in reflectance between the pattern forming portion and the pattern opening portion can be reduced, and it is difficult to see the transparent conductive film pattern. In a display device such as a touch panel The visibility becomes good.

本發明中之保護薄膜之厚度宜為1μm~150μm。由於保護薄膜之厚度越薄,越可進而抑制保護薄膜之含水量,充分進行透明導電膜之結晶化,故可更確實地防止透明導電性薄膜之電阻值異常,且可更提高透明導電膜與基材之密接性,防止膜剝離。又,藉由設為前述範圍,可提高捲對捲製法之易搬送性。The thickness of the protective film in the present invention is preferably 1 μm to 150 μm. As the thickness of the protective film is thinner, the moisture content of the protective film can be further suppressed, and the transparent conductive film can be fully crystallized, so that the abnormal resistance value of the transparent conductive film can be prevented more reliably, and the transparent conductive film and the The adhesiveness of the substrate prevents the film from peeling. Moreover, by setting it as the said range, the easy conveyance property of a roll-to-roll method can be improved.

本發明中之保護薄膜宜由環烯烴系樹脂或聚碳酸酯系樹脂構成。藉此,由於可使用含水率較低之樹脂,可進一步控制保護薄膜之含水量,充分進行透明導電膜之結晶化,故可更確實地防止透明導電性薄膜之電阻值異常,且可更提高透明導電膜與基材之密接性,防止膜剝離。The protective film in the present invention is preferably composed of a cycloolefin-based resin or a polycarbonate-based resin. As a result, a resin with a lower moisture content can be used, the moisture content of the protective film can be further controlled, and the transparent conductive film can be fully crystallized. Therefore, the abnormal resistance value of the transparent conductive film can be prevented more reliably, and the resistance can be further improved. The adhesion between the transparent conductive film and the substrate prevents the film from peeling.

本發明中之保護薄膜之水分率宜為0.50重量%以下。藉此,由於可使用含水率較低之保護薄膜,可進一步控制保護薄膜之含水量,充分進行透明導電膜之結晶化,故可更確實地防止透明導電性薄膜之電阻值異常,且可更提高透明導電膜與基材之密接性,防止膜剝離。The moisture content of the protective film in the present invention is preferably 0.50% by weight or less. As a result, a protective film with a lower moisture content can be used, the moisture content of the protective film can be further controlled, and the transparent conductive film can be fully crystallized, so that the abnormal resistance value of the transparent conductive film can be prevented more reliably, and Improve the adhesion between the transparent conductive film and the substrate, and prevent the film from peeling.

於本發明中,宜於保護薄膜之與形成有前述黏著劑層之面成相反之面側進一步具備導電層。藉此,可抗靜電,可抑制不必要電氣之影響。In the present invention, it is preferable that the protective film further includes a conductive layer on a surface side opposite to the surface on which the adhesive layer is formed. This makes it possible to resist static electricity and suppress unnecessary electrical influences.

本發明之觸控面板宜包含前述附載體薄膜之透明導電性薄膜。藉此,由於可更確實地防止透明導電性薄膜之電阻值異常,且可提高透明導電膜與基材之密接性,防止膜剝離,故可形成穩定之高感度、高解析度之圖案,且使觸控面板之顯示裝置之視認性等品質提高。The touch panel of the present invention preferably includes the aforementioned transparent conductive film with a carrier film. As a result, the abnormal resistance value of the transparent conductive film can be prevented more reliably, the adhesion between the transparent conductive film and the substrate can be improved, and the film can be prevented from peeling off. Therefore, a stable high-sensitivity and high-resolution pattern can be formed, and The quality of visibility of the display device of the touch panel is improved.

於透明樹脂薄膜,亦可對表面預先實施濺鍍、電暈放電、噴火、紫外線照射、電子束照射、化學變化、氧化等蝕刻處理或底層塗佈處理,使與形成於透明樹脂薄膜上之硬化樹脂層或透明導電膜等之密接性提高。又,於形成硬化樹脂層或透明導電膜之前,亦可視需要藉由溶劑洗淨或超音波洗淨等將透明樹脂薄膜表面除塵、清淨化。On the transparent resin film, the surface can also be subjected to an etching treatment such as sputtering, corona discharge, flame spraying, ultraviolet irradiation, electron beam irradiation, chemical change, oxidation, or undercoating treatment in advance to harden the formed on the transparent resin film. Adhesiveness of a resin layer or a transparent conductive film is improved. In addition, before forming the hardened resin layer or the transparent conductive film, the surface of the transparent resin film may be dust-removed and cleaned by solvent cleaning or ultrasonic cleaning, if necessary.

由製造透明性較高、外觀品質優異之透明導電性薄膜等且提高於捲對捲製法中之易搬送性之觀點而言,透明樹脂薄膜之厚度宜為20~150μm之範圍內、較佳為25~100μm之範圍內、更佳為30~80μm之範圍內。若透明樹脂薄膜之厚度為未達上述範圍之下限,有機械強度不足、將薄膜基材以捲筒狀之形式連續地形成硬化樹脂層或透明導電膜之操作變得困難之情形。另一方面,若厚度超過上述範圍之上限,則有不能提升透明導電性薄膜等之耐擦傷性或作為觸控面板用之點擊特性之情形。From the viewpoint of manufacturing a transparent conductive film having high transparency and excellent appearance quality and improving ease of transportability in a roll-to-roll method, the thickness of the transparent resin film is preferably within a range of 20 to 150 μm, and more preferably The range is 25 to 100 μm, and more preferably 30 to 80 μm. If the thickness of the transparent resin film is less than the lower limit of the above range, the mechanical strength may be insufficient, and it may be difficult to continuously form the film substrate in a roll shape to form a hardened resin layer or a transparent conductive film. On the other hand, if the thickness exceeds the upper limit of the above range, the scratch resistance of a transparent conductive film or the like or the click characteristics for a touch panel may not be improved.

透明樹脂薄膜之含水量宜每10mm×10mm為5.0×10-3 g以下、較佳每10mm×10mm為3.0×10-3 g以下、更佳每10mm×10mm為1.0×10-3 g以下。藉此,由於可進一步控制透明樹脂薄膜之含水量,充分進行透明導電膜之結晶化,故可更確實地防止透明導電性薄膜之電阻值異常,且更提高透明導電膜與基材之密接性,防止膜剝離。The moisture content of the transparent resin film is preferably 5.0 × 10 -3 g per 10 mm × 10 mm, preferably 3.0 × 10 -3 g per 10 mm × 10 mm, and more preferably 1.0 × 10 -3 g per 10 mm × 10 mm. Thereby, since the moisture content of the transparent resin film can be further controlled and the transparent conductive film can be fully crystallized, abnormal resistance values of the transparent conductive film can be prevented more reliably, and the adhesion between the transparent conductive film and the substrate can be further improved. To prevent film peeling.

透明樹脂薄膜之水分率宜為0.50重量%以下、較佳為0.40重量%以下、更佳為0.30重量%以下。The moisture content of the transparent resin film is preferably 0.50% by weight or less, preferably 0.40% by weight or less, and more preferably 0.30% by weight or less.

(硬化樹脂層)   硬化樹脂層包含:第1硬化樹脂層,設置於透明樹脂薄膜之透明導電膜之面側;及第2硬化樹脂層,設置於與透明導電膜相反之面側。在透明樹脂薄膜脆弱而容易受傷時,因為在形成透明導電膜及透明導電膜之圖案化或朝電子機器之搭載等各步驟中容易受損傷,故如上所述宜於透明樹脂薄膜之兩面形成第1硬化樹脂層及第2硬化樹脂層。(Hardened resin layer) The hardened resin layer includes: a first hardened resin layer provided on the surface side of the transparent conductive film of the transparent resin film; and a second hardened resin layer provided on the surface side opposite to the transparent conductive film. When the transparent resin film is fragile and easy to be injured, it is easy to be damaged during the steps of forming the transparent conductive film and the patterning of the transparent conductive film or mounting on the electronic device, so it is appropriate to form the first and second sides of the transparent resin film as described above. 1 hardened resin layer and 2 hardened resin layer.

硬化樹脂層是藉由使硬化型樹脂等硬化而獲得之層。作為所使用之樹脂並無特別限制,可使用製成硬化樹脂層形成後之皮膜具有充分之強度、具有透明性者,可列舉:熱硬化型樹脂、紫外線硬化型樹脂、電子束硬化型樹脂、二液混合型樹脂等。其等中,又以藉由紫外線照射之硬化處理,以簡單的加工操作即可有效率地形成硬化樹脂層之紫外線硬化型樹脂為佳。The cured resin layer is a layer obtained by curing a curable resin or the like. The resin to be used is not particularly limited, and a film having sufficient strength and transparency after the formation of the cured resin layer can be used, and examples thereof include thermosetting resin, ultraviolet curing resin, electron beam curing resin, Two-liquid mixed resin. Among these, a UV-curing resin that can efficiently form a hardened resin layer by a simple processing operation with a hardening treatment by ultraviolet irradiation is preferred.

作為紫外線硬化型樹脂,可列舉:聚酯系、丙烯酸系、胺甲酸乙酯系、醯胺系、聚矽氧系、環氧系等各種樹脂,包含紫外線硬化型之單體、低聚物、聚合物等。較佳使用之紫外線硬化型樹脂為丙烯酸系樹脂、環氧系樹脂或胺甲酸乙酯系樹脂,更佳為丙烯酸系樹脂或胺甲酸乙酯系樹脂。Examples of the UV-curable resin include polyester, acrylic, urethane-based, ammonium-based, silicone-based, and epoxy-based resins, and include UV-curable monomers, oligomers, Polymer, etc. The ultraviolet curing resin that is preferably used is an acrylic resin, an epoxy resin or a urethane resin, more preferably an acrylic resin or a urethane resin.

硬化樹脂層亦可包含粒子。藉由於硬化樹脂層中調配粒子,可於硬化樹脂層之表面形成***,可對透明導電性薄膜適當地賦與抗黏著性。The hardened resin layer may also contain particles. By arranging particles in the hardened resin layer, bumps can be formed on the surface of the hardened resin layer, and anti-adhesion properties can be appropriately imparted to the transparent conductive film.

作為上述粒子,可無特別限制地使用各種金屬氧化物、玻璃、塑膠等具有透明性者。例如可列舉:氧化矽、氧化鋁、氧化鈦、氧化鋯、氧化鈣等無機系粒子、由聚甲基丙烯酸甲酯、聚苯乙烯、聚胺甲酸乙酯、丙烯酸系樹脂、丙烯酸-苯乙烯共聚物等丙烯酸-苯乙烯系樹脂、苯代三聚氰胺、三聚氰胺、聚碳酸酯等各種聚合物所形成之交聯或未交聯之有機系粒子、或聚矽氧系粒子等。前述粒子可適當選擇一種或二種以上使用,但以有機系粒子為佳。由折射率之觀點,作為有機系粒子宜為丙烯酸系樹脂及丙烯酸-苯乙烯系樹脂。As the particles, those having transparency such as various metal oxides, glass, and plastics can be used without particular limitation. Examples include inorganic particles such as silica, alumina, titania, zirconia, and calcium oxide; polymethylmethacrylate, polystyrene, polyurethane, acrylic resin, and acrylic-styrene copolymerization. Crosslinked or uncrosslinked organic particles, or polysiloxane particles, which are formed from various polymers such as acrylic-styrene resin, benzene melamine, melamine, and polycarbonate. One or two or more of the particles may be appropriately selected and used, but organic particles are preferred. From the viewpoint of refractive index, the organic particles are preferably acrylic resins and acrylic-styrene resins.

粒子之直徑可考慮硬化樹脂層之***突出度或與***以外之平坦區域之厚度之關係等而適當設定,並無特別限定。再者,由對透明導電性薄膜充分地賦與抗黏著性且充分地抑制霧度之上升之觀點而言,粒子之直徑宜為0.1~5μm、較佳為0.5~4μm。再者,於本說明書中,所謂「直徑」指表示粒子分布之極大值之粒徑,藉由使用流動式粒子像分析裝置(Sysmex公司製、製品名「FPTA-3000S」)於特定條件下(Sheath液:乙酸乙酯、測定模式:HPF測定、測定方式:總計數)進行測定而求得。測定試料使用將粒子以乙酸乙酯稀釋成1.0重量%,使用超音波洗淨機均勻地分散後之試料。The diameter of the particles can be appropriately set in consideration of the protrusion degree of the hardened resin layer or the relationship with the thickness of a flat area other than the protrusion, and is not particularly limited. In addition, from the viewpoint of sufficiently imparting anti-adhesion to the transparent conductive film and sufficiently suppressing the increase in haze, the diameter of the particles is preferably 0.1 to 5 μm, and more preferably 0.5 to 4 μm. In addition, in this specification, the "diameter" means a particle diameter indicating the maximum value of particle distribution, and a flow-type particle image analyzer (manufactured by Sysmex, product name "FPTA-3000S") is used under specific conditions ( Sheath solution: ethyl acetate, measurement mode: HPF measurement, measurement method: total count). For the measurement sample, the particles were diluted to 1.0% by weight with ethyl acetate and uniformly dispersed using an ultrasonic cleaner.

粒子之含量宜相對於樹脂組成物之固體成分100重量份為0.05~1.0重量份,較佳為0.1~0.5重量份,更佳為0.1~0.2重量份。若硬化樹脂層中之粒子之含量較少,有難以形成足以對硬化樹脂層之表面賦與抗黏著性及易滑性的***之傾向。另一方面,若粒子之含量過多,則有因為粒子所致之光散射而使透明導電性薄膜之霧度變高、視認性降低之傾向。又,若粒子之含量過多,有於形成硬化樹脂層時(溶液之塗佈時)產生線條、損及視認性或透明導電膜之電性特性變得不均一之情形。The content of the particles is preferably 0.05 to 1.0 parts by weight, preferably 0.1 to 0.5 parts by weight, and more preferably 0.1 to 0.2 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of the solid content of the resin composition. If the content of the particles in the hardened resin layer is small, it is difficult to form a swell sufficient to impart anti-adhesion and slipperiness to the surface of the hardened resin layer. On the other hand, when the content of the particles is too large, the haze of the transparent conductive film tends to increase due to light scattering by the particles, and the visibility tends to decrease. In addition, if the content of the particles is too large, lines may be formed during the formation of the hardened resin layer (at the time of application of the solution), the visibility or the electrical characteristics of the transparent conductive film may become uneven.

硬化樹脂層可藉由如下方式而獲得,即:將包含各硬化型樹脂與視需要添加之粒子、交聯劑、起啟劑、增感劑等之樹脂組成物塗佈於透明樹脂薄膜上,於樹脂組成物包含溶劑時,進行溶劑之乾燥,藉由應用熱、活性能量線或該兩者中之任一者使之硬化。熱可使用空氣循環式烘箱或IR加熱器等周知機構,但並不限定於此等方法。作為活性能量線之例,有紫外線、電子束、伽瑪射線等,但並無特別限定。The hardened resin layer can be obtained by coating a transparent resin film with a resin composition containing each hardening resin and particles, a cross-linking agent, a starter, a sensitizer, and the like added as needed, When the resin composition contains a solvent, the solvent is dried, and the resin composition is hardened by applying heat, active energy rays, or both. For the heat, a well-known mechanism such as an air circulation oven or an IR heater may be used, but it is not limited to these methods. Examples of active energy rays include ultraviolet rays, electron beams, and gamma rays, but they are not particularly limited.

硬化樹脂層可使用上述材料,藉由溼式塗佈法、凹版塗佈法或棒塗法等塗佈法、真空蒸鍍法、濺鍍法、離子鍍敷法等而形成。例如,形成含有氧化錫之氧化銦(ITO)作為透明導電膜時,若作為底層之硬化樹脂層之表面為平滑,亦可縮短透明導電膜之結晶化時間。由此觀點,硬化樹脂層宜藉由溼式塗佈法而製膜。The hardened resin layer can be formed using the above-mentioned materials by a coating method such as a wet coating method, a gravure coating method, or a bar coating method, a vacuum evaporation method, a sputtering method, an ion plating method, or the like. For example, when forming indium oxide (ITO) containing tin oxide as a transparent conductive film, if the surface of the hardened resin layer as the bottom layer is smooth, the crystallization time of the transparent conductive film can also be shortened. From this viewpoint, it is preferable that the hardened resin layer be formed into a film by a wet coating method.

硬化樹脂層之厚度宜為0.5μm~5μm、較佳為0.7μm~3μm、最佳為0.8μm~2μm。若硬化樹脂層之厚度為前述範圍,可防止受傷或防止硬化樹脂層之硬化收縮中之薄膜皺褶,可防止觸控面板等之視認性惡化。The thickness of the hardened resin layer is preferably 0.5 μm to 5 μm, preferably 0.7 μm to 3 μm, and most preferably 0.8 μm to 2 μm. If the thickness of the hardened resin layer is in the aforementioned range, it is possible to prevent injuries or to prevent film wrinkles during hardening shrinkage of the hardened resin layer, and to prevent deterioration of visibility of a touch panel or the like.

(光學調整層)   於第1硬化樹脂層與透明導電膜之間可進一步包含一層以上之光學調整層。再者,於未形成第1硬化樹脂層時,於透明樹脂薄膜與透明導電膜之間可包含一層以上之光學調整層。光學調整層是用於提升透明導電性薄膜之穿透率、或於將透明導電膜圖案化時可減低圖案殘留之圖案部與圖案不殘留之開口部之間的穿透率差及反射率差,可獲得視認性優異之透明導電性薄膜。(Optical adjustment layer) Between the first hardened resin layer and the transparent conductive film, one or more optical adjustment layers may be further included. When the first cured resin layer is not formed, one or more optical adjustment layers may be included between the transparent resin film and the transparent conductive film. The optical adjustment layer is used to improve the transmittance of a transparent conductive film or to reduce the difference in transmittance and reflectance between a pattern portion where a pattern remains and an opening portion where a pattern does not remain when the transparent conductive film is patterned. A transparent conductive film with excellent visibility can be obtained.

光學調整層宜包含黏合劑樹脂與微粒子。作為光學調整層所包含之黏合劑樹脂,可列舉:丙烯酸系樹脂、胺甲酸乙酯系樹脂、三聚氰胺系樹脂、醇酸系樹脂、矽氧烷系聚合物、有機矽烷縮合物等,以包含丙烯酸系樹脂之紫外線硬化型樹脂為佳。The optical adjustment layer should preferably contain a binder resin and fine particles. Examples of the binder resin included in the optical adjustment layer include acrylic resins, urethane resins, melamine resins, alkyd resins, siloxane polymers, and organic silane condensation products. The resin is preferably an ultraviolet curing resin.

光學調整層之折射率宜為1.6~1.8、較佳為1.61~1.78、更佳為1.62~1.75。藉此,可減低穿透率差及反射率差,可獲得視認性優異之透明導電性薄膜。The refractive index of the optical adjustment layer is preferably 1.6 to 1.8, preferably 1.61 to 1.78, and more preferably 1.62 to 1.75. Thereby, the difference in transmittance and the difference in reflectance can be reduced, and a transparent conductive film having excellent visibility can be obtained.

光學調整層亦可具有平均粒徑為1nm~500nm之微粒子。光學調整層中之微粒子之含量宜為0.1重量%~90重量%。用於光學調整層之微粒子之平均粒徑,如上所述宜為1nm~500nm之範圍、較佳為5nm~300nm。又,光學調整層中之微粒子之含量較佳為10重量%~80重量%、更佳為20重量%~70重量%。藉由於光學調整層中含有微粒子,可容易進行光學調整層本身之折射率調整。The optical adjustment layer may have fine particles having an average particle diameter of 1 to 500 nm. The content of the fine particles in the optical adjustment layer is preferably 0.1% by weight to 90% by weight. As mentioned above, the average particle diameter of the fine particles used in the optical adjustment layer is preferably in the range of 1 nm to 500 nm, and more preferably 5 nm to 300 nm. The content of the fine particles in the optical adjustment layer is preferably 10% by weight to 80% by weight, and more preferably 20% by weight to 70% by weight. Since the optical adjustment layer contains fine particles, the refractive index adjustment of the optical adjustment layer itself can be easily performed.

作為形成微粒子之無機氧化物,例如可列舉:氧化矽(二氧化矽)、中空奈米二氧化矽、氧化鈦、氧化鋁、氧化鋅、氧化錫、氧化鋯、氧化鈮等微粒子。此等中,以氧化矽(二氧化矽)、氧化鈦、氧化鋁、氧化鋅、氧化錫、氧化鋯、氧化鈮之微粒子為佳,氧化鋯為較佳。此等可單獨使用一種,亦可併用二種以上。Examples of the inorganic oxide that forms fine particles include fine particles such as silicon oxide (silicon dioxide), hollow nanometer silica, titanium oxide, aluminum oxide, zinc oxide, tin oxide, zirconia, and niobium oxide. Among these, fine particles of silicon oxide (silicon dioxide), titanium oxide, aluminum oxide, zinc oxide, tin oxide, zirconia, and niobium oxide are preferable, and zirconia is more preferable. These may be used alone or in combination of two or more.

光學調整層可含有其他無機物。作為無機物可列舉:NaF(1.3)、Na3 AlF6 (1.35)、LiF(1.36)、MgF2 (1.38)、CaF2 (1.4)、BaF2 (1.3)、BaF2 (1.3)、LaF3 (1.55)、CeF(1.63)等(括弧內之數值表示折射率)。The optical adjustment layer may contain other inorganic substances. Examples of the inorganic substance include NaF (1.3), Na 3 AlF 6 (1.35), LiF (1.36), MgF 2 (1.38), CaF 2 (1.4), BaF 2 (1.3), BaF 2 (1.3), LaF 3 ( 1.55), CeF (1.63), etc. (the values in parentheses indicate the refractive index).

光學調整層可使用上述材料,藉由溼式塗佈法、凹版塗佈法或棒塗法等塗佈法、真空蒸鍍法、濺鍍法、離子鍍敷法等而形成。例如,形成含有氧化錫之氧化銦(ITO)作為透明導電膜時,若作為底層之光學調整層之表面為平滑,亦可縮短透明導電層之結晶化時間。由此觀點,光學調整層宜藉由溼式塗佈法而製膜。The optical adjustment layer can be formed by using the above-mentioned materials by a coating method such as a wet coating method, a gravure coating method, or a bar coating method, a vacuum evaporation method, a sputtering method, an ion plating method, or the like. For example, when forming indium oxide (ITO) containing tin oxide as a transparent conductive film, if the surface of the optical adjustment layer as a bottom layer is smooth, the crystallization time of the transparent conductive layer can also be shortened. From this viewpoint, it is preferable that the optical adjustment layer is formed by a wet coating method.

光學調整層之厚度宜為40nm~150nm、較佳為50nm~130nm、更佳為70nm~120nm。若光學調整層之厚度過小,難以成為連續被膜。又,若光學調整層之厚度過大,則有透明導電性薄膜之透明性降低或容易產生裂紋之傾向。The thickness of the optical adjustment layer is preferably 40 nm to 150 nm, preferably 50 nm to 130 nm, and more preferably 70 nm to 120 nm. If the thickness of the optical adjustment layer is too small, it becomes difficult to form a continuous film. When the thickness of the optical adjustment layer is too large, the transparency of the transparent conductive film tends to decrease or cracks tend to occur.

(透明導電膜)   透明導電膜亦可設置於透明樹脂薄膜上,但較佳為設置於透明樹脂薄膜之一面側所設置之第1硬化樹脂層上或光學調整層上。透明導電膜之構成材料只要包含無機物即可,並無特別限定,可適當地使用選自由銦、錫、鋅、鎵、銻、鈦、矽、鋯、鎂、鋁、金、銀、銅、鈀、鎢所組成之群中之至少一種金屬之金屬氧化物。於該金屬氧化物中,亦可視需要進一步包含上述群所示之金屬原子。例如宜使用銦錫複合氧化物(ITO)、含有銻之氧化錫(ATO)等。(Transparent conductive film) The transparent conductive film may be provided on the transparent resin film, but it is preferably provided on the first hardened resin layer or the optical adjustment layer provided on one side of the transparent resin film. The constituent material of the transparent conductive film is not particularly limited as long as it contains an inorganic substance, and may be appropriately selected from the group consisting of indium, tin, zinc, gallium, antimony, titanium, silicon, zirconium, magnesium, aluminum, gold, silver, copper, and palladium. A metal oxide of at least one metal in the group consisting of tungsten. The metal oxide may further include a metal atom represented by the above group as necessary. For example, indium tin composite oxide (ITO), antimony-containing tin oxide (ATO), and the like are preferably used.

透明導電膜之厚度並無特別限制,但為了形成其表面電阻為1×103 Ω/□以下之具有良好導電性之連續被膜,宜將厚度設為10nm以上。膜厚若過厚由於會造成透明性降低等,故宜為15~35nm、較佳為20~30nm之範圍內。若透明導電膜之厚度未達10nm,則膜表面之電阻變高且難以形成連續被膜。又,若透明導電膜之厚度超過35nm,則有造成透明性降低等情形。The thickness of the transparent conductive film is not particularly limited, but in order to form a continuous conductive film having a good surface conductivity of 1 × 10 3 Ω / □ or less, the thickness should be set to 10 nm or more. If the film thickness is too thick, it may cause a decrease in transparency, etc., so it is preferably within a range of 15 to 35 nm, and more preferably 20 to 30 nm. If the thickness of the transparent conductive film is less than 10 nm, the resistance on the surface of the film becomes high and it is difficult to form a continuous film. In addition, if the thickness of the transparent conductive film exceeds 35 nm, the transparency may be reduced.

透明導電膜之形成方法並無特別限定,可採用先前周知之方法。具體而言,例如可例示真空蒸鍍法、濺鍍法、離子鍍敷法等乾式製程。又,亦可根據需要之膜厚採用適當的方法。The method for forming the transparent conductive film is not particularly limited, and a conventionally known method can be adopted. Specifically, for example, a dry process such as a vacuum deposition method, a sputtering method, or an ion plating method can be exemplified. Further, an appropriate method may be adopted according to the required film thickness.

透明導電膜可視需要實施加熱退火處理(例如大氣環境下於80~150℃進行10~90分鐘左右)而結晶化。藉由使透明導電膜結晶化,除了將透明導電膜低電阻化外,亦提高透明性及耐久性。使非晶質之透明導電膜轉換為結晶質之方法並無特別限定,可使用空氣循環式烘箱或IR加熱器等。The transparent conductive film may be heat-annealed (for example, at a temperature of 80 to 150 ° C. for about 10 to 90 minutes) and crystallized if necessary. By crystallizing the transparent conductive film, in addition to reducing the resistance of the transparent conductive film, transparency and durability are also improved. The method for converting an amorphous transparent conductive film into a crystalline material is not particularly limited, and an air circulating oven or an IR heater can be used.

關於「結晶質」之定義,是將於透明樹脂薄膜上形成有透明導電膜之透明導電性薄膜於20℃、濃度5重量%之鹽酸中浸漬15分鐘後,水洗及乾燥,以測量儀對15mm間之端子間電阻進行測定,當端子間電阻不超過10kΩ時,表示ITO膜朝結晶質之轉換完成。再者,表面電阻值之測定可依據JIS K7194藉由四端子法而測定。The definition of "crystalline" is that a transparent conductive film formed with a transparent conductive film on a transparent resin film is immersed in hydrochloric acid at 20 ° C and a concentration of 5% by weight for 15 minutes, and then washed and dried with a measuring instrument for 15mm The resistance between the terminals is measured. When the resistance between the terminals does not exceed 10kΩ, it means that the conversion of the ITO film to the crystalline is complete. The surface resistance value can be measured by a four-terminal method in accordance with JIS K7194.

又,透明導電膜亦可藉由蝕刻等而圖案化。關於透明導電膜之圖案化,可使用先前周知之光微影法之技術進行。作為蝕刻液,宜使用酸。作為酸,例如可列舉:氯化氫、溴化氫、硫酸、硝酸、磷酸等無機酸、醋酸等有機酸及此等之混合物、以及其等之水溶液。例如於靜電容方式之觸控面板或矩陣式之電阻膜方式之觸控面板所使用之透明導電性薄膜中,宜將透明導電膜圖案化成條紋狀。再者,藉由蝕刻將透明導電膜圖案化時,若先進行透明導電膜之結晶化,則有難以藉由蝕刻進行圖案化之情形。因此,透明導電膜之退火處理宜於將透明導電膜圖案化之後進行。The transparent conductive film may be patterned by etching or the like. The patterning of the transparent conductive film can be performed by a technique known in the prior art, the photolithography method. As the etching solution, an acid is preferably used. Examples of the acid include inorganic acids such as hydrogen chloride, hydrogen bromide, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, and phosphoric acid; organic acids such as acetic acid; mixtures thereof; and aqueous solutions thereof. For example, in a transparent conductive film used in a capacitive touch panel or a matrix resistive touch panel, the transparent conductive film should be patterned into stripes. Furthermore, when the transparent conductive film is patterned by etching, if the transparent conductive film is crystallized first, it may be difficult to perform patterning by etching. Therefore, the annealing treatment of the transparent conductive film is preferably performed after patterning the transparent conductive film.

<載體薄膜>   載體薄膜包含配置於透明導電性薄膜之形成有前述透明樹脂薄膜之面側之黏著劑層與保護薄膜,將透明導電性薄膜與載體薄膜貼合,形成附載體薄膜之透明導電性薄膜。將載體薄膜自附載體薄膜之透明導電性薄膜剝離時,黏著劑層可與保護薄膜一同剝離,亦可僅剝離保護薄膜。<Carrier film> The carrier film includes an adhesive layer and a protective film disposed on the transparent conductive film on which the transparent resin film is formed, and the transparent conductive film and the carrier film are laminated to form a transparent conductive film with a carrier film. film. When the carrier film is peeled from the transparent conductive film with the carrier film, the adhesive layer may be peeled together with the protective film, or only the protective film may be peeled.

(保護薄膜)   保護薄膜在與波長板或偏光板等其他薄膜積層時被剝離而廢棄,但考量利用輥進行捲取等之處理性、含水量等,作為形成保護薄膜之材料,例如可列舉與前述透明樹脂薄膜之材料相同者。由視認性變得良好之方面來看,較佳為聚酯系樹脂、環烯烴系樹脂、聚碳酸酯系樹脂,但由高透明性、低吸水性、水分阻斷性、熱穩定性、等方性等觀點來看,尤佳為非晶性樹脂之環烯烴系樹脂或聚碳酸酯系樹脂。聚酯系樹脂、環烯烴系樹脂及聚碳酸酯系樹脂之具體例,如同前述透明樹脂薄膜所記載,但考量水分率自其中進行選擇。藉此,由於可使用含水率較低之保護薄膜,可進一步控制保護薄膜之含水量,充分進行透明導電膜之結晶化,故可更確實地防止透明導電性薄膜之電阻值異常,且更提高透明導電膜與基材之密接性,防止膜剝離。(Protective film) Protective film is peeled off and discarded when laminated with other films such as wavelength plate or polarizing plate. However, considering the rationality and moisture content of the film, such as winding with a roller, examples of materials for forming protective films include The materials of the transparent resin film are the same. From the standpoint of good visibility, polyester resins, cycloolefin resins, and polycarbonate resins are preferred, but from high transparency, low water absorption, moisture blocking properties, thermal stability, etc. From the viewpoints of squareness and the like, a cycloolefin-based resin or a polycarbonate-based resin of an amorphous resin is particularly preferred. Specific examples of the polyester-based resin, the cycloolefin-based resin, and the polycarbonate-based resin are as described in the above-mentioned transparent resin film, but the moisture content is selected from them. As a result, a protective film with a lower moisture content can be used, the moisture content of the protective film can be further controlled, and the crystallization of the transparent conductive film can be fully performed, so that the abnormal resistance value of the transparent conductive film can be prevented more reliably and improved The adhesion between the transparent conductive film and the substrate prevents the film from peeling.

保護薄膜亦可與透明樹脂薄膜相同,對表面預先實施濺鍍、電暈放電、噴火、紫外線照射、電子束照射、化學變化、氧化等蝕刻處理或底層塗佈處理,使與保護薄膜上之黏著劑層等之密接性提高。又,於形成黏著劑層之前,亦可視需要藉由溶劑洗淨或超音波洗淨等將保護薄膜表面除塵、清淨化。The protective film may be the same as the transparent resin film, and the surface is previously subjected to an etching treatment such as sputtering, corona discharge, fire spray, ultraviolet irradiation, electron beam irradiation, chemical change, oxidation, or an undercoating treatment, so as to adhere to the protective film. Adhesiveness of the agent layer is improved. In addition, before the formation of the adhesive layer, the surface of the protective film may be dust-removed and cleaned by solvent cleaning or ultrasonic cleaning, if necessary.

保護薄膜之含水量宜每10mm×10mm為1.0×10-3 g以下、較佳每10mm×10mm為0.9×10-3 g以下、更佳每10mm×10mm為0.5×10-3 g以下。再者,於此之水分量由於實測值隨著環境而變動,故宜於提供給濺鍍製膜或結晶化步驟之時點滿足前述範圍。藉此,可防止透明導電性薄膜之電阻值異常,且提高透明導電膜與基材之密接性,防止膜剝離。又,藉此由於不需要為去除水分而作為前處理之通過加熱步驟等之成膜前之除氣處理,故生產效率提高。The moisture content of the protective film should be 1.0 × 10 -3 g or less per 10mm × 10mm, preferably 0.9 × 10 -3 g or less per 10mm × 10mm, and more preferably 0.5 × 10 -3 g or less per 10mm × 10mm. Furthermore, since the amount of water measured here varies with the environment, it is suitable to satisfy the aforementioned range at the time when it is supplied to the sputtering film formation or crystallization step. Thereby, abnormal resistance value of the transparent conductive film can be prevented, the adhesion between the transparent conductive film and the substrate can be improved, and the film can be prevented from peeling off. In addition, this eliminates the need for a degassing treatment before film formation by a heating step or the like as a pretreatment to remove moisture, thereby improving production efficiency.

保護薄膜之水分率(含水率)宜為0.50重量%以下、較佳為0.40重量%以下、更佳為0.30重量%以下。藉此,由於可使用含水率較低之保護薄膜,可進一步控制保護薄膜之含水量,充分進行透明導電膜之結晶化,故可更確實地防止透明導電性薄膜之電阻值異常,且更提高透明導電膜與基材之密接性,防止膜剝離。The moisture content (water content) of the protective film is preferably 0.50% by weight or less, preferably 0.40% by weight or less, and more preferably 0.30% by weight or less. As a result, a protective film with a lower moisture content can be used, the moisture content of the protective film can be further controlled, and the crystallization of the transparent conductive film can be fully performed, so that the abnormal resistance value of the transparent conductive film can be prevented more reliably and improved The adhesion between the transparent conductive film and the substrate prevents the film from peeling.

保護薄膜之厚度宜為1~150μm、較佳為2~120μm、更佳為5~100μm。由於保護薄膜之厚度越薄,越可進而抑制保護薄膜之含水量,充分進行透明導電膜之結晶化,故可更確實地防止透明導電性薄膜之電阻值異常,且可更提高透明導電膜與基材之密接性,防止膜剝離。藉由設為前述範圍,可提高捲對捲製法之易搬送性。又,自於捲對捲製法中防止透明導電性薄膜積層體之破裂之觀點來看,保護薄膜之厚度宜為透明樹脂薄膜之厚度以上。The thickness of the protective film is preferably 1 to 150 μm, preferably 2 to 120 μm, and more preferably 5 to 100 μm. As the thickness of the protective film is thinner, the moisture content of the protective film can be further suppressed, and the transparent conductive film can be fully crystallized, so that the abnormal resistance value of the transparent conductive film can be prevented more reliably, and the transparent conductive film and the The adhesiveness of the substrate prevents the film from peeling. By setting it as the said range, the easy conveyance property of a roll-to-roll method can be improved. In addition, from the viewpoint of preventing cracking of the transparent conductive film laminate in the roll-to-roll method, the thickness of the protective film is preferably equal to or greater than the thickness of the transparent resin film.
