Abstract
Description
本發明係關於一種光學積層體及圖像顯示裝置。The present invention relates to an optical laminated body and an image display device.
於圖像顯示裝置中,一般來說為了補償適於用途之光學特性,使用組合偏光元件與光學補償膜而成之各種光學積層體。作為此種光學積層體,例如提出了依次具備偏光元件、作為λ/2板之第一雙折射層、作為λ/4板之第二雙折射層、及折射率特性顯示nz>nx=ny之關係之第三雙折射層的橢圓偏光板(例如,參照專利文獻1)。 又,於圖像顯示裝置中,有時因顯示裝置自身或用於顯示裝置之反射體(例如觸摸面板部、金屬佈線)所導致之外界光反射、背景之映入等會成為問題。特別是,有機EL面板由於具有反射性高之金屬層,因此易產生外界光反射、背景之映入等問題。因此,探討了於圖像顯示面板之視認側配置光學積層體來降低圖像顯示裝置之反射亮度。但是,即使於圖像顯示裝置中採用專利文獻1記載之橢圓偏光板,亦難以充分地降低反射亮度,反射亮度之降低仍有改善之餘地。 先前技術文獻 專利文獻 Generally, in image display devices, various optical laminates composed of a combination of a polarizing element and an optical compensation film are used in order to compensate for optical characteristics suitable for the intended use. As such an optical laminated body, for example, it is proposed to have a polarizing element, a first birefringent layer as a λ/2 plate, a second birefringent layer as a λ/4 plate, and a refractive index characteristic showing nz>nx=ny in this order. An elliptical polarizing plate with a third birefringent layer (for example, see Patent Document 1). In addition, in an image display device, problems may arise such as reflection of external light or reflection of the background caused by the display device itself or a reflector (such as a touch panel part or metal wiring) used in the display device. In particular, organic EL panels have a highly reflective metal layer, so they are prone to problems such as external light reflection and background reflection. Therefore, it has been considered to arrange an optical laminate on the viewing side of the image display panel to reduce the reflection brightness of the image display device. However, even if the elliptically polarizing plate described in Patent Document 1 is used in an image display device, it is difficult to sufficiently reduce the reflection brightness, and there is still room for improvement in the reduction of reflection brightness.

(1) Refractive index (nx, ny, nz) "nx" is the refractive index in the direction in which the refractive index in the plane becomes maximum (that is, the slow axis direction), and "ny" is the refractive index in the direction orthogonal to the slow axis in the plane (i.e., the direction of the slow axis). That is, the refractive index in the fast axis direction), "nz" is the refractive index in the thickness direction. (2) In-plane phase difference (Re) "Re(λ)" is the in-plane phase difference measured at 23°C using light of wavelength λ nm. For example, "Re(550)" is the in-plane phase difference measured at 23°C using light with a wavelength of 550 nm. Re(λ) is calculated by the formula: Re(λ)=(nx-ny)×d when the thickness of the layer (film) is d(nm). Furthermore, in this specification, "the in-plane phase difference Re(λ) of the first optical compensation layer" may be referred to as "Re 1 (λ)", and "the in-plane phase difference Re(λ) of the second optical compensation layer λ)" is called "Re 2 (λ)", and "the in-plane phase difference Re(λ) of the third optical compensation layer" is called "Re 3 (λ)". (3) Phase difference in the thickness direction (Rth) "Rth(λ)" is the phase difference in the thickness direction measured at 23°C using light of wavelength λ nm. For example, "Rth(550)" is the phase difference in the thickness direction measured at 23°C using light with a wavelength of 550 nm. Rth(λ) is calculated by the formula: Rth(λ)=(nx-nz)×d when the thickness of the layer (film) is d(nm). Furthermore, in this specification, "the phase difference Rth (λ) in the thickness direction of the first optical compensation layer" is sometimes referred to as "Rth 1 (λ)", and "the phase difference in the thickness direction of the second optical compensation layer Rth (λ)" is called "Rth 2 (λ)", and "the phase difference Rth (λ) in the thickness direction of the third optical compensation layer" is called "Rth 3 (λ)". (4) Nz coefficient The Nz coefficient is calculated by Nz=Rth/Re. (5) Substantially parallel or orthogonal. The expressions "substantially orthogonal" and "approximately orthogonal" include the case where the angle between the two directions is 90°±3°. "Substantially parallel" and "approximately parallel""This expression includes the case where the angle formed by the two directions is 0°±3°. Furthermore, "intersecting in a manner that is not substantially orthogonal" means that the angle formed by the two directions is not substantially orthogonal and is not substantially parallel. More specifically, the expression "intersecting in a substantially non-orthogonal manner" includes the case where the angle between the two directions exceeds 3° and does not reach 87°, and the case where the angle exceeds 93° and does not reach 177°, Preferably it is 5° or more and 85° or less, or 95° or more and 175° or less.
A.光學積層體之整體構成 圖1為本發明一個實施方式之光學積層體之概略剖視圖。圖示例之光學積層體100依次具備:包含偏光元件41之偏光板40;折射率特性顯示nx>ny之關係之第一光學補償層10;折射率特性顯示nz>nx=ny之關係之第二光學補償層20;及折射率特性顯示nx>ny之關係之第三光學補償層30。第一光學補償層10及/或第三光學補償層30之折射率特性顯示nx>ny≧nz之關係。第一光學補償層10之面內相位差Re 1(550)及第三光學補償層30之面內相位差Re 3(550)分別為10 nm以上且220 nm以下,較佳為30 nm以上且200 nm以下。偏光元件41之吸收軸方向與第一光學補償層10之慢軸方向以實質上不正交之方式交叉。第一光學補償層10、第二光學補償層20及第三光學補償層30滿足下述式(1)。 [數2] (式(1)中,Rth 1(550)表示第一光學補償層之厚度方向之相位差;Rth 2(550)表示第二光學補償層之厚度方向之相位差;Rth 3(550)表示第三光學補償層之厚度方向之相位差;Re 1(550)表示第一光學補償層之面內相位差;Re 3(550)表示第三光學補償層之面內相位差)。 將具有此種構成之光學積層體應用於圖像顯示裝置中時,可以謀求降低圖像顯示裝置之反射亮度。 再者,光學積層體於具備面內相位差Re超過220 nm之光學補償層(尤其是λ/2板)時,難以謀求該光學補償層之薄化,材料使用量之降低亦困難。進而,面內相位差Re超過220 nm之光學補償層(尤其是λ/2板)有配向角不均一之虞,偏光元件之吸收軸方向與該光學補償層之慢軸方向之軸偏移可能增大。又,即使為同等程度之軸偏移,相位差值越大,則對光學補償之影響變得越大。因此,於具備此種光學補償層(λ/2板)之光學積層體中,難以如本發明實施方式之上述光學積層體那樣謀求薄化且謀求降低圖像顯示裝置之反射亮度。 A. Overall structure of optical laminate FIG. 1 is a schematic cross-sectional view of an optical laminate according to one embodiment of the present invention. The optical laminated body 100 in the illustrated example includes in this order: a polarizing plate 40 including a polarizing element 41; a first optical compensation layer 10 having a refractive index characteristic showing the relationship nx>ny; and a first optical compensation layer 10 having a refractive index characteristic showing the relationship nz>nx=ny. the second optical compensation layer 20; and the third optical compensation layer 30 whose refractive index characteristics show the relationship nx>ny. The refractive index characteristics of the first optical compensation layer 10 and/or the third optical compensation layer 30 show the relationship nx>ny≧nz. The in-plane phase difference Re 1 (550) of the first optical compensation layer 10 and the in-plane phase difference Re 3 (550) of the third optical compensation layer 30 are respectively 10 nm or more and 220 nm or less, preferably 30 nm or more and Below 200 nm. The absorption axis direction of the polarizing element 41 intersects with the slow axis direction of the first optical compensation layer 10 in a substantially non-orthogonal manner. The first optical compensation layer 10, the second optical compensation layer 20, and the third optical compensation layer 30 satisfy the following formula (1). [Number 2] (In formula (1), Rth 1 (550) represents the phase difference in the thickness direction of the first optical compensation layer; Rth 2 (550) represents the phase difference in the thickness direction of the second optical compensation layer; Rth 3 (550) represents the phase difference in the thickness direction of the second optical compensation layer.

When the optical laminate having such a structure is applied to an image display device, the reflection brightness of the image display device can be reduced. Furthermore, when the optical laminate has an optical compensation layer (especially a λ/2 plate) with an in-plane retardation Re exceeding 220 nm, it is difficult to thin the optical compensation layer and reduce the amount of material used. Furthermore, an optical compensation layer (especially a λ/2 plate) with an in-plane phase difference Re exceeding 220 nm may have uneven alignment angles, and the absorption axis direction of the polarizing element may be offset from the slow axis direction of the optical compensation layer. increase. In addition, even if the axis deviation is of the same degree, the larger the phase difference value is, the greater the impact on optical compensation will be. Therefore, in the optical laminate provided with such an optical compensation layer (λ/2 plate), it is difficult to achieve thinning and to reduce the reflection brightness of the image display device as in the optical laminate according to the embodiment of the present invention.

以下,對構成光學積層體之各構件進行說明。Each member constituting the optical laminated body will be described below.
B.偏光板 B-1.偏光元件 作為偏光元件41,可以採用任意適當之偏光元件。例如,形成偏光元件之樹脂膜可以為單層之樹脂膜,亦可以為兩層以上之積層體。 B.Polarizing plate B-1.Polarizing element As the polarizing element 41, any appropriate polarizing element can be used. For example, the resin film forming the polarizing element may be a single-layer resin film or a laminate of two or more layers.
作為由單層之樹脂膜構成之偏光元件之具體例,可例舉:對聚乙烯醇(PVA)系膜、部分縮甲醛化PVA系膜、對乙烯-乙酸乙烯酯共聚物系部分皂化膜等親水性高分子膜實施了利用碘、二色性染料等二色性物質之染色處理及延伸處理者、PVA之脫水處理物或聚氯乙烯之脫鹽酸處理物等多烯系配向膜等。從光學特性優異之方面考慮,可較佳地使用利用碘對PVA系膜進行染色並進行單軸延伸而獲得之偏光元件。Specific examples of the polarizing element composed of a single-layer resin film include: polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)-based films, partially formalized PVA-based films, para-ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer-based partially saponified films, etc. Hydrophilic polymer membranes are dyed and stretched using dichroic substances such as iodine and dichroic dyes, and polyene-based alignment films such as dehydrated PVA or dehydrochloric acid-treated polyvinyl chloride are used. From the viewpoint of excellent optical properties, a polarizing element obtained by dyeing a PVA-based film with iodine and uniaxially stretching it can be preferably used.
上述利用碘進行之染色例如藉由將PVA系膜浸漬於碘水溶液中來進行。上述單軸延伸之延伸倍率較佳為3倍以上且7倍以下。延伸可以於染色處理後進行,亦可以一邊染色一邊進行。又,還可於延伸後進行染色。根據需要,對PVA系膜實施膨潤處理、交聯處理、洗淨處理、乾燥處理等。例如,藉由於染色前將PVA系膜浸漬於水中進行水洗,不僅可洗淨PVA系膜表面之污漬或抗黏連劑,亦可使PVA系膜膨潤而防止染色不均等。The above-mentioned dyeing with iodine is performed, for example, by immersing the PVA-based film in an iodine aqueous solution. The stretching ratio of the above-mentioned uniaxial stretching is preferably 3 times or more and 7 times or less. Extending can be performed after dyeing or while dyeing. In addition, dyeing may be performed after stretching. As necessary, the PVA film is subjected to swelling treatment, cross-linking treatment, cleaning treatment, drying treatment, etc. For example, by immersing the PVA film in water and washing it before dyeing, not only can stains or anti-adhesive agents on the surface of the PVA film be washed away, but the PVA film can also be swollen to prevent uneven dyeing.
作為使用積層體而獲得之偏光元件之具體例,可例舉:使用樹脂基材與積層於該樹脂基材上之PVA系樹脂層(PVA系樹脂膜)之積層體或樹脂基材與塗佈形成於該樹脂基材上之PVA系樹脂層之積層體所獲得之偏光元件。使用樹脂基材與塗佈形成於該樹脂基材上之PVA系樹脂層之積層體所獲得的偏光元件例如可藉由如下方式製作:將PVA系樹脂溶液塗佈於樹脂基材上,使其乾燥而於樹脂基材上形成PVA系樹脂層,而獲得樹脂基材與PVA系樹脂層之積層體;及對該積層體進行延伸及染色,將PVA系樹脂層製成偏光元件。本發明之一個實施方式中,較佳於樹脂基材之單側形成包含鹵化物及聚乙烯醇系樹脂之聚乙烯醇系樹脂層。關於延伸,就代表而言,包括將積層體浸漬於硼酸水溶液中來進行延伸。進而,延伸根據需要可進而包括於硼酸水溶液中進行延伸之前將積層體於高溫(例如95℃以上)下進行空中延伸。此外,於本發明之一個實施方式中,較佳將積層體供至藉由一邊於長度方向上進行搬送一邊進行加熱而使其於寬度方向上收縮2%以上的乾燥收縮處理。就代表性而言,本實施方式之製造方法包括對積層體依次實施空中輔助延伸處理、染色處理、水中延伸處理、及乾燥收縮處理。藉由導入輔助延伸,即便於熱塑性樹脂上塗佈PVA時,亦可提高PVA之結晶性,而能夠達成高光學特性。又,藉由同時事先提高PVA之配向性,於隨後之染色步驟或延伸步驟中浸漬於水中時,可防止PVA之配向性下降或者溶解等問題,而能夠達成高光學特性。進而,於將PVA系樹脂層浸漬於液體中時,與PVA系樹脂層不含鹵化物時相比,可以抑制聚乙烯醇分子之配向混亂及配向性之降低。藉此,可以提高經過染色處理及水中延伸處理等將積層體浸漬於液體中進行之處理步驟所獲得之偏光元件之光學特性。進而,藉由利用乾燥收縮處理使積層體於寬度方向上收縮,可以提高光學特性。所得之樹脂基材/偏光元件之積層體可直接使用(即,可將樹脂基材作為偏光元件之保護層),亦可自樹脂基材/偏光元件之積層體剝離樹脂基材,於該剝離面上根據目的積層任意適當之保護層來使用。此種偏光元件之製造方法之詳細情況例如記載於日本專利特開2012-73580號公報、日本專利第6470455號中。該等公報之全部記載作為參考被援引至本說明書中。Specific examples of polarizing elements obtained using a laminate include a laminate using a resin base material and a PVA-based resin layer (PVA-based resin film) laminated on the resin base material, or a resin base material and coating A polarizing element obtained by a laminate of PVA-based resin layers formed on the resin base material. A polarizing element obtained using a laminate of a resin base material and a PVA-based resin layer coated on the resin base material can be produced, for example, by applying a PVA-based resin solution to the resin base material. Drying to form a PVA-based resin layer on the resin base material to obtain a laminate of the resin base material and the PVA-based resin layer; and stretching and dyeing the laminate to make the PVA-based resin layer into a polarizing element. In one embodiment of the present invention, it is preferable to form a polyvinyl alcohol-based resin layer containing a halide and a polyvinyl alcohol-based resin on one side of the resin base material. Stretching typically involves immersing the laminate in a boric acid aqueous solution and stretching it. Furthermore, the stretching may further include stretching the laminate in the air at a high temperature (for example, 95° C. or higher) before stretching in a boric acid aqueous solution, if necessary. Furthermore, in one embodiment of the present invention, it is preferable to subject the laminated body to a drying and shrinkage process in which the laminate is heated while being transported in the longitudinal direction to shrink the laminate by 2% or more in the width direction. Typically, the manufacturing method of this embodiment includes sequentially performing an air-assisted stretching process, a dyeing process, an underwater stretching process, and a drying shrinkage process on the laminate. By introducing auxiliary stretching, even when PVA is coated on thermoplastic resin, the crystallinity of PVA can be improved and high optical properties can be achieved. In addition, by improving the alignment of PVA in advance at the same time, when immersed in water in the subsequent dyeing step or stretching step, problems such as decrease in alignment or dissolution of PVA can be prevented, and high optical properties can be achieved. Furthermore, when the PVA-based resin layer is immersed in a liquid, compared with when the PVA-based resin layer does not contain a halide, the alignment disorder of polyvinyl alcohol molecules and the decrease in alignment can be suppressed. This can improve the optical properties of the polarizing element obtained by immersing the laminate in a liquid, such as dyeing treatment and water stretching treatment. Furthermore, by shrinking the laminated body in the width direction by drying and shrinking treatment, the optical properties can be improved. The obtained laminated body of the resin base material/polarizing element can be used directly (that is, the resin base material can be used as a protective layer of the polarizing element), or the resin base material can be peeled off from the laminated body of the resin base material/polarizing element. Use any suitable protective layer on the surface according to the purpose. Details of the manufacturing method of such a polarizing element are described in, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2012-73580 and Japanese Patent No. 6470455.

Second optical compensation layer In the illustrated example, the second optical compensation layer 20 is disposed between the first optical compensation layer 10 and the third optical compensation layer 30 . More specifically, the second optical compensation layer 20 is arranged adjacent to the first optical compensation layer 10 and the third optical compensation layer 30 respectively. In this specification, "arranged adjacently" means being laminated directly or laminated only through an adhesive layer (for example, an adhesive layer or an adhesive layer). That is, it means that no other optical functional layer is interposed between the first optical compensation layer 10 and the second optical compensation layer 20 and between the second optical compensation layer 20 and the third optical compensation layer 30 . The light transmittance of the second optical compensation layer 20 at a wavelength of 550 nm is preferably more than 80%, more preferably more than 85%, and further preferably more than 90%. The theoretical upper limit of light transmittance is 100%, but due to surface reflection due to the difference in refractive index between air and the retardation film, the upper limit of the achievable light transmittance is approximately 94%. The thickness of the second optical compensation layer 20 is set in such a way that desired optical properties can be obtained. The thickness of the second optical compensation layer 20 is typically 0.5 μm or more, typically 10 μm or less, preferably 8 μm or less, and further preferably 5 μm or less.
第二光學補償層20之折射率特性如上所述顯示nz>nx=ny之關係。顯示nz>nx=ny之折射率特性之層(膜)有時被稱作「正C板」等。 第二光學補償層20代表性地由包含固定成垂直配向之液晶材料之膜(以下為垂直配向液晶膜)構成。能夠垂直配向之液晶材料(液晶化合物)可以為液晶單體,亦可以為液晶聚合物。液晶材料(液晶化合物)較佳為具有聚合性,更佳為具有光聚合性。作為該液晶化合物之具體例,可例舉日本專利特開2002-333642號公報之[0020]~[0028]記載之液晶化合物。 The refractive index characteristics of the second optical compensation layer 20 show the relationship nz>nx=ny as described above. A layer (film) showing the refractive index characteristic of nz>nx=ny is sometimes called a "positive C plate" or the like. The second optical compensation layer 20 is typically composed of a film including a liquid crystal material fixed in a vertical alignment (hereinafter referred to as a vertical alignment liquid crystal film). The liquid crystal material (liquid crystal compound) capable of vertical alignment can be a liquid crystal monomer or a liquid crystal polymer. The liquid crystal material (liquid crystal compound) preferably has polymerizability, and more preferably has photopolymerizability. Specific examples of the liquid crystal compound include liquid crystal compounds described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2002-333642 [0020] to [0028].
作為此種垂直配向液晶膜之製備方法,可以採用任意適當之製備方法。例如,將包含液晶材料及溶劑之塗敷液塗敷於基材(例如,樹脂基材)後,加熱塗膜,使液晶材料以液晶狀態垂直配向。之後,對垂直配向之液晶材料照射例如光(紫外線等),使液晶材料聚合或交聯,將液晶材料之配向性固定化。藉此,獲得垂直配向液晶膜。 又,藉由調整配向處理條件(加熱溫度、加熱時間),可以將第二光學補償層之Rth 2(550)調整至上述範圍。 加熱溫度例如為60℃以上,較佳為70℃以上,例如為300℃以下,較佳為200℃以下。加熱時間例如為10秒鐘以上,較佳為20秒鐘以上,例如為2小時以下,較佳為30分鐘以下。配向處理條件若為上述範圍,則可以穩定地形成垂直配向。 As a preparation method of such a vertically aligned liquid crystal film, any appropriate preparation method can be adopted. For example, after a coating liquid containing a liquid crystal material and a solvent is applied to a substrate (eg, a resin substrate), the coating film is heated to vertically align the liquid crystal material in a liquid crystal state. Thereafter, the vertically aligned liquid crystal material is irradiated with light (ultraviolet, etc.) to polymerize or crosslink the liquid crystal material, thereby fixing the alignment of the liquid crystal material. Thereby, a vertically aligned liquid crystal film is obtained. In addition, by adjusting the alignment treatment conditions (heating temperature, heating time), the Rth 2 (550) of the second optical compensation layer can be adjusted to the above range. The heating temperature is, for example, 60°C or higher, preferably 70°C or higher, and is, for example, 300°C or lower, preferably 200°C or lower. The heating time is, for example, 10 seconds or more, preferably 20 seconds or more, for example, 2 hours or less, preferably 30 minutes or less. If the alignment treatment conditions are within the above range, vertical alignment can be stably formed.

First optical compensation layer The first optical compensation layer 10 is located between the polarizing plate 40 and the second optical compensation layer 20 and is arranged adjacent to the polarizing plate 40 . In the illustrated example, the first optical compensation layer 10 is arranged adjacent to the polarizing element 41 .

As the thermoplastic resin, it is preferable to use a polymer showing negative birefringence. By using a polymer showing negative birefringence, a retardation film having a refractive index ellipsoid of nz≧nx>ny can be easily obtained.

作為上述顯示負雙折射之聚合物,亦可較佳地使用具有下述通式(I)所示之重複單元之聚合物。此種聚合物可以顯示更高之負雙折射且耐熱性、機械強度更優異。此種聚合物例如可以藉由使用N-苯基取代馬來醯亞胺來得到,該N-苯基取代馬來醯亞胺係導入了至少於鄰位具有取代基之苯基作為起始原料之馬來醯亞胺系單體之N取代基而成。 [化1] As the polymer showing negative birefringence, a polymer having a repeating unit represented by the following general formula (I) can also be preferably used. This kind of polymer can show higher negative birefringence and has better heat resistance and mechanical strength. Such a polymer can be obtained, for example, by using N-phenyl-substituted maleimide, which introduces at least a phenyl group having a substituent at the ortho position as a starting material.

作為上述顯示負雙折射之聚合物並不限於上述,例如還可以使用如日本專利特開2005-350544號公報等中所揭示之環狀烯烴系共聚物。進而,還可以較佳地使用日本專利特開2005-156862號公報、日本專利特開2005-227427號公報等中所揭示之包含聚合物及無機微粒之組合物。又,作為顯示負雙折射之聚合物,可以單獨地使用一種,還可以混合使用兩種以上。進而,還可以藉由共聚、分枝、交聯、分子末端修飾(或封端)及立體規則改性等對其等進行改性而使用。The polymer showing negative birefringence is not limited to the above. For example, a cyclic olefin-based copolymer disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2005-350544 and the like can also be used. Furthermore, a composition containing a polymer and inorganic fine particles disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2005-156862, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 227427, etc. can also be preferably used. In addition, as a polymer showing negative birefringence, one type may be used alone, or two or more types may be mixed and used. Furthermore, they can also be used by modifying them by copolymerization, branching, cross-linking, molecular terminal modification (or capping), stereoregular modification, etc.
作為此種高分子膜之成形方法,可以採用任意適當之成形方法。成形條件可以根據所使用之樹脂之組成或種類、成形加工法等適當設定。As a method of forming such a polymer film, any appropriate forming method can be used. Molding conditions can be appropriately set depending on the composition or type of resin used, the molding processing method, and the like.
對應於折射率特性顯示nz≧nx>ny之關係之第一光學補償層之相位差膜(延伸膜)可以藉由於任意之適當延伸條件下對上述高分子膜進行延伸來獲得。 作為延伸方法之具體例,可例舉:縱向單軸延伸法、橫向單軸延伸法、縱橫逐次雙軸延伸法、縱橫同時雙軸延伸法。可較佳地使用縱向單軸延伸法、縱橫逐次雙軸延伸法、縱橫同時雙軸延伸法。對於上述顯示負雙折射之聚合物而言,由於如上所述,延伸方向之折射率相對地減小,故而於為縱向單軸延伸法時,於高分子膜之搬送方向具有快軸(與搬送方向正交之方向之折射率成為nx)。為縱橫逐次雙軸延伸法、縱橫同時雙軸延伸法時,根據縱、橫之延伸倍率之比,搬送方向、寬度方向均可成為慢軸。具體而言,當相對地增大縱(搬送)方向之延伸倍率時,橫(寬度)方向變為慢軸;當相對地增大橫(寬度)方向之延伸倍率時,縱(搬送)方向變為慢軸。 The retardation film (stretched film) of the first optical compensation layer corresponding to the refractive index characteristic showing the relationship nz≧nx>ny can be obtained by stretching the above-mentioned polymer film under any appropriate stretching conditions. Specific examples of the stretching method include a longitudinal uniaxial stretching method, a transverse uniaxial stretching method, a longitudinal and transverse sequential biaxial stretching method, and a longitudinal and transverse simultaneous biaxial stretching method. The longitudinal uniaxial stretching method, the longitudinal and transverse sequential biaxial stretching method, and the longitudinal and transverse simultaneous biaxial stretching method can be preferably used. For the above-mentioned polymer showing negative birefringence, since the refractive index in the stretching direction is relatively reduced as described above, when the longitudinal uniaxial stretching method is used, the polymer film has a fast axis in the transport direction (corresponding to the transport direction). The refractive index in the direction orthogonal to the direction becomes nx). In the case of the longitudinal and transverse sequential biaxial stretching method or the longitudinal and transverse simultaneous biaxial stretching method, both the conveying direction and the width direction can become the slow axis according to the ratio of the longitudinal and transverse stretching magnifications. Specifically, when the stretch ratio in the longitudinal (conveyance) direction is relatively increased, the transverse (width) direction becomes the slow axis; when the stretch ratio in the transverse (width) direction is relatively increased, the longitudinal (conveyance) direction becomes is the slow axis.
又,藉由調整高分子膜之厚度(原片厚度)、延伸溫度及延伸倍率,可將第一光學補償層之Re 1(550)及Rth 1(550)調整至上述範圍。 高分子膜之厚度(原片厚度)代表性地為5 μm以上,較佳為10 μm以上,代表性地為50 μm以下,較佳為40 μm以下。 延伸溫度(延伸高分子膜時之延伸烘箱內之溫度)較佳為高分子膜之玻璃轉移溫度(Tg)附近。具體而言,較佳為(Tg-10)℃~(Tg+30)℃,進而較佳為Tg~(Tg+25)℃,特佳為(Tg+5)℃~(Tg+20)℃。當延伸溫度過低時,有相位差值或慢軸之方向變得不均勻、或者高分子膜發生結晶化(白濁)之虞。另一方面,當延伸溫度過高時,有高分子膜熔解、或相位差之顯現變得不足之虞。延伸溫度代表性地為120℃以上且170℃以下。再者,玻璃轉移溫度可以根據JIS K 7121-1987利用DSC法求出。 延伸倍率可以根據高分子膜之組成、揮發性成分等之種類、揮發性成分等之殘留量、所需之相位差值等設定為任意適當之值。較佳為1.1倍以上且3.0倍以下。又,延伸時之進給速度從延伸裝置之機械精度、穩定性等觀點出發,較佳為0.5 m/分鐘~20 m/分鐘。 In addition, by adjusting the thickness of the polymer film (original film thickness), stretching temperature, and stretching ratio, Re 1 (550) and Rth 1 (550) of the first optical compensation layer can be adjusted to the above ranges. The thickness of the polymer film (original sheet thickness) is typically 5 μm or more, preferably 10 μm or more, and is typically 50 μm or less, preferably 40 μm or less. The stretching temperature (the temperature in the stretching oven when stretching the polymer film) is preferably near the glass transition temperature (Tg) of the polymer film. Specifically, (Tg-10)°C to (Tg+30)°C is preferred, Tg to (Tg+25)°C is more preferred, and (Tg+5)°C to (Tg+20)°C is particularly preferred. When the stretching temperature is too low, the phase difference value or the direction of the slow axis may become uneven, or the polymer film may crystallize (white turbidity). On the other hand, when the stretching temperature is too high, the polymer film may melt or the phase difference may become insufficiently expressed. The elongation temperature is typically 120°C or more and 170°C or less. In addition, the glass transition temperature can be calculated|required by the DSC method based on JIS K 7121-1987. The stretching ratio can be set to any appropriate value according to the composition of the polymer film, the type of volatile components, the residual amount of volatile components, etc., the required phase difference value, etc. Preferably it is 1.1 times or more and 3.0 times or less. In addition, the feed speed during stretching is preferably 0.5 m/min to 20 m/min from the viewpoint of mechanical accuracy and stability of the stretching device.
以上,對使用顯示負雙折射之聚合物獲得相位差膜之方法進行了敍述,但相位差膜亦可以使用顯示正雙折射之聚合物獲得。作為使用顯示正雙折射之聚合物獲得相位差膜之方法,例如可以使用日本專利特開2000-231016號公報、日本專利特開2000-206328號公報、日本專利特開2002-207123號公報中所揭示之增大厚度方向之折射率的延伸方法。具體地可例舉於含有顯示正雙折射之聚合物之膜之單面或兩面上接著熱收縮性膜並進行加熱處理之方法。於因加熱處理產生之熱收縮性膜之收縮力之作用下使該膜收縮,藉由使該膜之長度方向及寬度方向收縮,可以增大厚度方向之折射,可以獲得具有nz>nx>ny之折射率橢球之相位差膜。The method of obtaining a retardation film using a polymer showing negative birefringence has been described above, but the retardation film can also be obtained using a polymer showing positive birefringence. As a method of obtaining a retardation film using a polymer showing positive birefringence, for example, those disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open Nos. 2000-231016, 2000-206328, and 2002-207123 can be used. An extension method for increasing the refractive index in the thickness direction is disclosed. A specific example is a method of attaching a heat shrinkable film to one or both sides of a film containing a polymer showing positive birefringence and subjecting it to heat treatment. By shrinking the heat-shrinkable film in the length direction and width direction due to the shrinkage force generated by the heat treatment, the refraction in the thickness direction can be increased, and nz>nx>ny can be obtained. The retardation film of the refractive index ellipsoid.
如上所述,折射率特性顯示nz≧nx>ny之關係之第一光學補償層亦可以使用顯示負雙折射之聚合物來製造。一般來說,當使用顯示正雙折射之聚合物時,於可供選擇之聚合物之種類多之方面具有優點;當使用顯示負雙折射之聚合物時,與使用顯示正雙折射之聚合物之情況相比,由於其延伸方法,於可簡便地獲得慢軸方向之均勻性優異之相位差膜之方面具有優點。As mentioned above, the first optical compensation layer whose refractive index characteristics show the relationship nz≧nx>ny can also be manufactured using a polymer showing negative birefringence. Generally speaking, when using a polymer showing positive birefringence, it has the advantage of having a wide variety of polymers to choose from; when using a polymer showing negative birefringence, it is better to use a polymer showing positive birefringence. Compared with this case, the stretching method has an advantage in that a retardation film with excellent uniformity in the slow axis direction can be easily obtained.

As the resin forming the polymer film, any appropriate resin can be used. Specific examples include resins constituting a positive birefringent film such as nordecene-based resin, polycarbonate-based resin, cellulose-based resin, polyvinyl alcohol-based resin, and polyurethane-based resin. Among these, nordecene-based resins and polycarbonate-based resins are preferred.

Next, it was immersed in a crosslinking bath (a boric acid aqueous solution prepared by mixing 3 parts by mass of potassium iodide and 5 parts by mass of boric acid with respect to 100 parts by mass of water) with a liquid temperature of 40° C. for 30 seconds (crosslinking treatment). Thereafter, the laminated body was immersed in a boric acid aqueous solution with a liquid temperature of 70° C. (boric acid concentration: 4 wt%, potassium iodide concentration: 5 wt%), while being placed between rollers with different circumferential speeds in the longitudinal direction (length direction). Uniaxial stretching (water stretching treatment) is performed at a stretching ratio of 5.5 times. Thereafter, the laminated body was immersed in a cleaning bath (an aqueous solution prepared by mixing 4 parts by mass of potassium iodide with respect to 100 parts by mass of water) having a liquid temperature of 20° C. (washing treatment). Thereafter, while drying in an oven maintained at about 90°C, it was brought into contact with a SUS heated roller whose surface temperature was maintained at about 75°C (drying shrinkage treatment). In this way, a polarizing element with a thickness of approximately 5 μm is formed on the resin base material, and a laminate having a resin base material/polarizing element structure is obtained. An HC-TAC film (thickness: 20 μm) was bonded as a protective layer on the surface of the polarizing element of the obtained laminate (the surface opposite to the resin base material). Then, the resin base material is peeled off to obtain a polarizing plate having a protective layer/polarizing element structure.
