根據本發明,因為硼酸處理步驟前利用2段以上的染色浴進行染色,可得染色不均減少之碘系偏光薄膜。又於染色浴中行一軸延伸,具有使皺紋產生頻率減少,染色處理後的步驟可降低張力,提高生產性的效果。According to the present invention, it is possible to obtain an iodine-based polarizing film having reduced dyeing unevenness by dyeing with a dye bath of two or more stages before the boric acid treatment step. Further, the one-axis stretching in the dyeing bath has a frequency of reducing wrinkles, and the step after the dyeing treatment can reduce the tension and improve the productivity.

具體地,藉由於2段以上的染色浴進行一軸延伸,且在最初的染色浴的延伸倍率比第2段以後的染色浴的總延伸倍率高,特別是乾燥時薄膜寬度的收縮狀態變小(通常稱為乾燥頸(neck-in)),在乾燥爐產生皺紋的頻率變少。Specifically, the one-axis stretching is performed by the dye bath of two or more stages, and the stretching ratio of the first dye bath is higher than the total stretch ratio of the dye bath after the second stage, and in particular, the shrinkage state of the film width during drying becomes small ( Often referred to as a neck-in, the frequency of wrinkles in the drying oven is reduced.

而且,特別是藉由於2段以上的染色浴進行一軸延伸,且在最後的染色浴的延伸倍率比其之前的染色浴的總延伸倍率高,硼酸處理步驟以後的步驟,即使降低附加的張力以防止薄膜收縮,薄膜也難以緩和,提高生產性。而且,張力低時因減少傳送薄膜用的導輪的軸承等的負擔,提高裝置的耐久性,保存管理變得容易。Moreover, in particular, by one-axis stretching by a dye bath of two or more stages, and the stretching ratio of the dye bath in the last dye bath is higher than the total stretch ratio of the dye bath before it, the step after the boric acid treatment step, even if the additional tension is lowered Preventing shrinkage of the film, the film is also difficult to relax, and productivity is improved. Further, when the tension is low, the load on the bearing of the guide roller for transporting the film or the like is reduced, and the durability of the device is improved, and the storage management is facilitated.

藉由將本發明所得偏光板、光學層合體使用於液晶顯 示裝置,可得薄型高品質的液晶顯示。By using the polarizing plate and the optical laminate obtained by the present invention for liquid crystal display The display device can obtain a thin high-quality liquid crystal display.

以下,詳細說明本發明。Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail.

形成本發明的聚乙烯醇系薄膜之聚乙烯醇系樹脂,通常為例如聚乙酸乙烯酯類樹脂皂化之物質。皂化度通常約85莫耳%以上,較佳約為90莫耳%以上,更好約為99莫耳%~100莫耳%。作為聚乙酸乙烯酯類樹脂,除乙酸乙烯酯為單聚合物之聚乙酸乙烯酯外,乙酸乙烯酯以及可與其共聚合之其他單量體的共聚合物,例如乙烯-乙酸乙烯酯共聚合物等。作為可與其共聚合之其他單量體,例如不飽和羧酸類、烯烴類、乙烯醚類、不飽和磺酸類等。聚乙烯醇系樹脂的聚合度為1000~10000,較佳為1500~5000的程度。The polyvinyl alcohol-based resin which forms the polyvinyl alcohol-based film of the present invention is usually a material which is saponified by, for example, a polyvinyl acetate-based resin. The degree of saponification is usually about 85 mol% or more, preferably about 90 mol% or more, more preferably about 99 mol% to 100 mol%. As a polyvinyl acetate-based resin, in addition to polyvinyl acetate which is a single polymer of polyvinyl acetate, vinyl acetate and other mono-complex copolymers copolymerizable therewith, such as ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer Wait. As other monomer types copolymerizable therewith, for example, unsaturated carboxylic acids, olefins, vinyl ethers, unsaturated sulfonic acids, and the like. The degree of polymerization of the polyvinyl alcohol-based resin is from 1,000 to 10,000, preferably from 1,500 to 5,000.

這些聚乙烯醇系樹脂也可為變性而得,例如可使用醛類變性之聚乙烯縮甲醛、聚乙烯縮乙醛、聚乙烯縮丁醛等。通常製造偏光薄膜的起始材料,使用厚度約20μm~100μm、較佳為30μm~80μm的聚乙烯醇系樹脂薄膜之未延伸薄膜。工業上,薄膜的寬度實用上約為1500mm~4000mm。These polyvinyl alcohol-based resins may be obtained by denaturation, and for example, aldehyde-modified polyvinyl formal, polyvinyl acetal, polyvinyl butyral or the like may be used. A starting material for a polarizing film is usually produced, and an unstretched film of a polyvinyl alcohol-based resin film having a thickness of about 20 μm to 100 μm, preferably 30 μm to 80 μm, is used. Industrially, the width of the film is practically about 1500 mm to 4000 mm.

該未延伸薄膜依序進行膨脹處理、碘染色處理、硼酸處理、水洗處理,最後乾燥得到聚乙烯醇系偏光薄膜的厚度,例如約5~50μm的程度。The unstretched film is sequentially subjected to expansion treatment, iodine dyeing treatment, boric acid treatment, water washing treatment, and finally dried to obtain a thickness of the polyvinyl alcohol-based polarizing film, for example, about 5 to 50 μm.

本發明的偏光薄膜的製造方法,大致分為2種製造方 法,第一為聚乙烯醇系薄膜在空氣或不活性氣體中一軸延伸後,依序進行膨脹處理、碘染色處理、硼酸處理、水洗處理之溶液處理,最後進行乾燥的方法。第二為未延伸的聚乙烯醇系薄膜,於水溶液依序進行膨脹處理、碘染色處理、硼酸處理、水洗處理之溶液處理,在硼酸處理步驟以及/或其前一步驟,溼式下進行一軸延伸,最後進行乾燥的方法。The method for producing a polarizing film of the present invention is roughly classified into two types of manufacturers. First, the first method is a method in which a polyvinyl alcohol-based film is stretched in the air or an inert gas, and then subjected to a swelling treatment, an iodine dyeing treatment, a boric acid treatment, a water washing treatment, and finally a drying method. The second is an unstretched polyvinyl alcohol-based film, which is subjected to an expansion treatment in an aqueous solution, an iodine dyeing treatment, a boric acid treatment, and a water-washing treatment, and is subjected to a wet process in a boric acid treatment step and/or a previous step thereof. Extend and finally dry.

在任一種方法,一軸延伸可以由一個步驟進行,也可由2個以上的步驟進行,由複數的步驟進行較佳。延伸方法,可採用習知的方法,例如傳送薄膜的2個夾輪間賦予轉速差進行延伸之滾輪間延伸,如日本專利第2731813號公報記載之熱滾輪延伸法、拉寬機延伸法等。而且,基本上步驟的順序如上述,處理槽的數目、處理條件等並無限制。In either method, the one-axis extension can be performed in one step or in two or more steps, and the plurality of steps are preferably performed. The stretching method can be carried out by a conventional method such as stretching between the two pinch wheels of the transfer film to extend the difference in the number of revolutions, such as the hot roller stretching method and the stretcher stretching method described in Japanese Patent No. 2731813. Further, the order of the basic steps is as described above, and the number of processing tanks, processing conditions, and the like are not limited.

而且,上述步驟中可自由***沒有記載的作為其他目的之步驟。作為該步驟的例子,如硼酸處理後,浸漬於不含硼酸之碘化物水溶液(碘化物處理)或浸漬於不含硼酸之氯化鋅水溶液(鋅處理)的步驟等。Further, in the above steps, steps which are not described as other objects can be freely inserted. As an example of this step, after the boric acid treatment, it is immersed in a boric acid-free iodide aqueous solution (iodide treatment) or a step of immersing in a boric acid-free zinc chloride aqueous solution (zinc treatment).

膨脹步驟之目的在於除去薄膜表面的異物、除去薄膜中的可塑劑、賦予下一步驟易染色的特性、薄膜的可塑化等。處理條件係在可達成這些目的的範圍,且不產生基材薄膜極度溶解、不透明等狀態的範圍內決定。首先氣體中膨脹延伸的薄膜的情況,例如約20℃~70℃,較佳為30℃~60℃的水溶液中浸漬薄膜。薄膜的浸漬時間為30秒~300 秒,更好為60秒~240秒的程度。首先膨脹未延伸的原結構薄膜的情況,例如約10℃~50℃,較佳為20℃~40℃的水溶液中浸漬薄膜。薄膜的浸漬時間為30秒~300秒,更好為60秒~240秒的程度。The purpose of the expansion step is to remove foreign matter on the surface of the film, to remove the plasticizer in the film, to impart dyeability to the next step, to plasticize the film, and the like. The treatment conditions are determined within a range in which these objects can be achieved, and are not determined in a state in which the base film is extremely dissolved or opaque. First, in the case of a film which is expanded and extended in a gas, for example, a film is immersed in an aqueous solution of about 20 ° C to 70 ° C, preferably 30 ° C to 60 ° C. Film immersion time is 30 seconds ~ 300 Seconds, preferably 60 seconds to 240 seconds. When the unstructured original structural film is first expanded, for example, the film is immersed in an aqueous solution of about 10 ° C to 50 ° C, preferably 20 ° C to 40 ° C. The immersion time of the film is from 30 seconds to 300 seconds, more preferably from 60 seconds to 240 seconds.

於膨脹處理步驟,因薄膜的寬度方向膨脹容易產生皺紋等的問題,使用擴張滾輪(expander roll)、螺旋滾輪(spiral roll)、頂輥(crown roll)、交叉導輥(cross guider)、彎曲棒(bend bar)、拉寬夾(tenter crip)等習知拉寬裝置,除去薄膜的皺紋且傳送薄膜較佳。以安定槽中薄膜的傳送為目的,可在膨脹槽中以水中淋浴控制水流,併用EPC裝置(邊緣位置控制裝置:檢查薄膜的端部,防止薄膜蛇行的裝置)等。於本步驟,因在薄膜行走的方向薄膜也膨脹擴大,為使傳送方向的薄膜無鬆弛現象,例如設計控制處理槽前後的傳送滾輪的速度等方式較佳。而且,使用的膨脹處理槽,除純水外,也可使用添加0.01重量%~10重量%範圍之硼酸(記載於日本公開專利特開平10-153709號公報)、氯化物(記載於日本公開專利特開平06-281816號公報)、無機酸、無機鹽、水溶性有機溶劑、醇類等之水溶液。In the expansion treatment step, problems such as wrinkles are likely to occur due to expansion in the width direction of the film, and an expander roll, a spiral roll, a crown roll, a cross guide, and a bending rod are used. A conventional stretching device such as a bend bar or a tenter crip removes wrinkles of the film and preferably transports the film. For the purpose of conveying the film in the stability tank, the water flow can be controlled by showering in the expansion tank, and an EPC device (edge position control device: the end portion of the film is inspected to prevent the film from being meandering) and the like can be used. In this step, the film is also expanded and expanded in the direction in which the film travels, and in order to prevent the film in the transport direction from being slack, for example, it is preferable to design a speed of the transfer roller before and after the control groove. In addition, in the expansion treatment tank to be used, in addition to the pure water, boric acid in the range of 0.01% by weight to 10% by weight (described in Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. Hei 10-153709) and chloride (described in Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication) can be used. JP-A-06-281816), an aqueous solution of an inorganic acid, an inorganic salt, a water-soluble organic solvent, or an alcohol.

碘的染色處理步驟之目的在薄膜上吸附、配向碘。處理條件係在可達成這些目的的範圍,且不產生基材薄膜極度溶解、不透明等狀態的範圍內決定。於本發明,特別設置2段以上的染色浴依序進行碘染色。2段~4段之染色浴為適當。The purpose of the iodine dyeing treatment step is to adsorb and align iodine on the film. The treatment conditions are determined within a range in which these objects can be achieved, and are not determined in a state in which the base film is extremely dissolved or opaque. In the present invention, in particular, two or more stages of dyeing baths are provided for iodine dyeing. The dye bath for the 2nd to 4th segments is appropriate.

染色浴也可包含硼酸。添加硼酸的情況,因包含碘而與下述的硼酸處理區別。對100重量部的水,包含約0.003重量部以上的碘,溫度約40℃以下之染色浴。The dye bath can also contain boric acid. The case of adding boric acid is distinguished from the following boric acid treatment by containing iodine. For 100 parts by weight of water, a dye bath containing about 0.003 parts by weight or more of iodine and a temperature of about 40 ° C or less is contained.

各染色浴的濃度,以重量比碘/碘化鉀/水=約0.003~0.2/約0.1~10/100,較佳為約0.003~0.1/約0.1~3.0/100。碘元素的含量,各染色浴可相同,或者在上述範圍內依染色處理的順序遞減或遞增。The concentration of each dye bath is iodine/potassium iodide/water = about 0.003 to 0.2/about 0.1 to 10/100, preferably about 0.003 to 0.1/about 0.1 to 3.0/100. The content of the iodine element may be the same for each dye bath or may be decreased or increased in the order of the dyeing treatment within the above range.

各染色浴的碘化鉀濃度,調整使其依染色處理的順序變高較佳。碘化鉀濃度在各染色浴相同或依處理順序變低的情況,長時間運轉時,破壞溶液濃度的平衡,無法安定地保持偏光薄膜的品質。亦即,由於隨處理後段側染色浴的碘化鉀濃度變高,為了減少後段側染色浴碘化鉀濃度,而丟棄溶液,水必然不足夠。這是經濟上的損失,增加環境的負荷。相對地,調整使其從最初開始碘化鉀濃度依處理順序變高,長時間運轉時,即使後段側染色浴的碘化鉀濃度變高,也可防止破壞溶液濃度的平衡。The concentration of potassium iodide in each dye bath is adjusted to be higher in order of dyeing treatment. When the concentration of potassium iodide is the same in each dye bath or in the order of treatment, the balance of the concentration of the solution is broken when the operation is performed for a long period of time, and the quality of the polarizing film cannot be stably maintained. That is, since the concentration of potassium iodide in the dyeing bath at the rear side of the treatment becomes high, in order to reduce the concentration of potassium iodide in the dye bath at the back side, the solution is discarded, and the water is inevitably insufficient. This is an economic loss that increases the load on the environment. In contrast, it is adjusted so that the potassium iodide concentration increases from the beginning to the processing order, and even when the long-time operation is performed, even if the potassium iodide concentration of the dyeing bath in the subsequent stage becomes high, the balance of the concentration of the destruction solution can be prevented.

此外,也可使用其他碘化物代替碘化鉀,例如碘化鋅等。而且,也可其他碘化物與碘化鉀並用。即使是這些情況,碘化物濃度,調整使其依染色處理的順序變高較佳。而且,也可與碘化物以外的化合物共存,例如硼酸、氯化鋅、氯化鈷等。添加硼酸的情況,因包含碘而與下述的硼酸處理區分。對100重量部的水,包含約0.003重量部以上的碘之染色浴。特別是只在最後的染色浴添加硼酸較佳。由此,偏光薄膜的表面狀態良好,染色不均(mura)變 少。添加於最後的染色浴之硼酸濃度,對100重量部的水,為約0.05~2.0重量部。In addition, other iodides may be used instead of potassium iodide, such as zinc iodide. Moreover, other iodides may be used in combination with potassium iodide. Even in these cases, the iodide concentration is adjusted so that the order of the dyeing treatment becomes higher. Further, it may coexist with a compound other than iodide, such as boric acid, zinc chloride, cobalt chloride or the like. The case of adding boric acid is distinguished from the following boric acid treatment by containing iodine. For 100 parts by weight of water, a dye bath containing about 0.003 parts by weight or more of iodine is contained. In particular, it is preferred to add boric acid only in the final dye bath. Thereby, the surface state of the polarizing film is good, and the dyeing unevenness (mura) changes. less. The boric acid concentration added to the final dye bath is about 0.05 to 2.0 parts by weight for 100 parts by weight of water.

各染色浴之染色處理,例如約10℃~40℃、較佳為約20℃~35℃的溫度,進行約30秒~600秒、較佳為約60秒~300秒的浸漬處理。The dyeing treatment of each dye bath is carried out, for example, at a temperature of about 10 ° C to 40 ° C, preferably about 20 ° C to 35 ° C, for about 30 seconds to 600 seconds, preferably about 60 seconds to 300 seconds.

於本發明,在各染色浴進行一軸延伸時,在各染色浴分別單獨調整延伸倍率較佳。因此,例如於各染色浴的入口側以及出口側分別設置夾輪,可改變兩夾輪間的旋轉速度比較好。而且,除可個別調整延伸倍率,也可於染色浴中以及/或槽的出入口處設置擴張滾輪(expander roll)、螺旋滾輪(spiral roll)、頂輥(crown roll)、交叉導輥(cross guider)、彎曲棒(bend bar)等,進行一軸延伸。而且,膨脹處理後、染色處理前聚乙烯醇系薄膜也可進行溼式延伸處理,而且必要時各染色浴之間也可進行一軸延伸,或者各染色浴之間也可設置水洗槽。In the present invention, when the dye bath is subjected to one-axis stretching, it is preferred to separately adjust the stretching ratio in each dye bath. Therefore, for example, a clip wheel is provided on the inlet side and the outlet side of each dye bath, and the rotation speed between the two pinch wheels can be changed. Moreover, in addition to the individual adjustment of the stretching ratio, an expander roll, a spiral roll, a crown roll, a cross guide roller may be provided in the dye bath and/or at the entrance and exit of the tank. ), a bend bar, etc., for one-axis extension. Further, the polyvinyl alcohol-based film may be subjected to a wet stretching treatment after the expansion treatment or before the dyeing treatment, and if necessary, one-axis stretching may be performed between the respective dye baths, or a water washing tank may be provided between the dye baths.

在2段以上的各染色浴進行一軸延伸的情況,延伸倍率無特別限制,但採用以下2個態樣中任一個較佳。In the case where the dyeing baths of two or more stages are subjected to one-axis stretching, the stretching ratio is not particularly limited, but any of the following two aspects is preferable.

(1)在最初的染色浴之延伸倍率比第2段以後的染色浴的總延伸倍率高。因此,因水洗後的乾燥時乾燥頸變小,在乾燥爐產生皺紋的頻率變少。具體地,最初的染色浴之延伸倍率約1.1~3.0倍的範圍內,且第2段以後的染色浴的總延伸倍率的約1.05~2.0倍的程度較佳。(1) The stretching ratio in the first dye bath is higher than the total stretching ratio of the dye bath after the second stage. Therefore, the drying neck is reduced during drying after washing, and the frequency of wrinkles in the drying furnace is reduced. Specifically, the stretching ratio of the first dye bath is in the range of about 1.1 to 3.0 times, and the total stretching ratio of the dye bath after the second stage is preferably about 1.05 to 2.0 times.

(2)在最後的染色浴的延伸倍率比在其之前的染色浴的總延伸倍率高。因此,硼酸處理步驟以後的步驟難以 緩和薄膜,提高生產性。具體地,最後的染色浴之延伸倍率約1.05~2.0倍的範圍內,且在其之前的染色浴的總延伸倍率為約1.1~3.0倍的程度較佳。(2) The stretching ratio in the final dye bath is higher than the total stretching ratio of the dye bath before it. Therefore, the steps after the boric acid treatment step are difficult Relieve the film and improve productivity. Specifically, the stretching ratio of the final dye bath is in the range of about 1.05 to 2.0 times, and the total stretching ratio of the dye bath before it is preferably about 1.1 to 3.0 times.

硼酸處理係碘染色過的聚乙烯醇系薄膜浸漬於水100重量部含有約1~10重量部硼酸的水溶液。於硼酸水溶液包含約1~30重量部的碘化物較佳。作為碘化物,例如碘化鉀、碘化鋅等,而且也可與碘化物以外的化合物例如氯化鋅、氯化鈷、氯化鋯、硫代硫酸鈉、亞硫酸鉀、硫酸鈉等共存。The boric acid-treated iodine-dyed polyvinyl alcohol-based film is immersed in an aqueous solution containing about 1 to 10 parts by weight of boric acid in 100 parts by weight of water. The iodide containing about 1 to 30 parts by weight of the aqueous boric acid solution is preferred. The iodide may be, for example, potassium iodide or zinc iodide, or may be present in combination with a compound other than iodide such as zinc chloride, cobalt chloride, zirconium chloride, sodium thiosulfate, potassium sulfite, sodium sulfate or the like.

該硼酸處理係除為了交鏈的耐水化以外,為調整色調(防止帶藍色等)等而進行。為了交鏈的耐水化的情況,必要時除硼酸外,或與硼酸一起,使用乙二醛、戊二醛等的交鏈劑。This boric acid treatment is carried out in order to adjust the color tone (to prevent bluing, etc.) in addition to the water resistance of the cross-linking. In order to prevent hydration of the cross-linking, a crosslinking agent such as glyoxal or glutaraldehyde may be used in addition to boric acid or with boric acid if necessary.

而且,為了耐水化之硼酸處理,也有稱為交鏈處理、固定化處理等名稱的情況。為了調整色調進行硼酸處理的情況,如此之硼酸處理也有稱為補色處理、再染色處理等名稱。而且以下的說明,為了耐水化之硼酸處理以及為了調整色調之硼酸處理,任一種單獨皆稱為硼酸處理。Further, in the case of boric acid treatment which is resistant to hydration, there are cases where the name is called a cross-linking treatment or an immobilization treatment. In order to adjust the color tone to perform boric acid treatment, such a boric acid treatment may also be referred to as a complementary color treatment or a re-dye treatment. Further, in the following description, any one of them is referred to as a boric acid treatment for the boric acid treatment for hydration resistance and the boric acid treatment for adjusting the color tone.

硼酸處理根據其目的改變硼酸以及碘化物的濃度、處理槽的溫度下進行。沒有特別區分為了耐水化之硼酸處理以及為了調整色調之硼酸處理,依據以下的條件進行。The boric acid treatment is carried out in accordance with the purpose of changing the concentration of boric acid and iodide and the temperature of the treatment tank. There is no particular distinction between boric acid treatment for hydration resistance and boric acid treatment for adjusting the color tone, and the following conditions were carried out.

原結構薄膜在進行膨脹、染色、硼酸處理的情況,硼酸處理以交鏈的耐水化為目的時,使用水100重量部含約3~10重量部的硼酸、約1~20重量部的碘化物之硼酸處理 槽,通常在約50~70℃、較佳為55~65℃的溫度下進行。浸漬時間通常為30~600秒的程度,較佳為約60~420秒,更好為約90~300秒。When the original structure film is subjected to expansion, dyeing, or boric acid treatment, and boric acid treatment is used for the purpose of water resistance of the cross-linking, 100 parts by weight of water contains about 3 to 10 parts by weight of boric acid and about 1 to 20 parts by weight of iodide. Boric acid treatment The tank is usually carried out at a temperature of about 50 to 70 ° C, preferably 55 to 65 ° C. The immersion time is usually from 30 to 600 seconds, preferably from about 60 to 420 seconds, more preferably from about 90 to 300 seconds.

此外,預先延伸的薄膜進行染色、硼酸處理的情況,硼酸處理槽的溫度通常為約50~85℃、較佳為55~80℃的溫度。Further, in the case where the pre-stretched film is subjected to dyeing or boric acid treatment, the temperature of the boric acid treatment tank is usually about 50 to 85 ° C, preferably 55 to 80 ° C.

在為了耐水化之硼酸處理後,也可進行為了調整色調之硼酸處理。為了該目的,使用水100重量部含約1~5重量部的硼酸、約3~30重量部的碘化物之硼酸處理槽,通常在約10~45℃的溫度下進行。浸漬時間通常為3~300秒的程度,較佳為約10~240秒。為了調整色調之硼酸處理,與為了耐水化之硼酸處理比較,通常在較低的硼酸濃度、較高的碘化物濃度、較低的溫度下進行。After the boric acid treatment for water resistance, a boric acid treatment for adjusting the color tone can also be performed. For this purpose, a boric acid treatment tank containing about 1 to 5 parts by weight of boric acid and about 3 to 30 parts by weight of iodide in 100 parts by weight of water is usually used at a temperature of about 10 to 45 °C. The immersion time is usually from 3 to 300 seconds, preferably from about 10 to 240 seconds. The boric acid treatment for adjusting the hue is generally carried out at a lower boric acid concentration, a higher iodide concentration, and a lower temperature than the boric acid treatment for hydration resistance.

這些硼酸處理可以複數個步驟進行,通常2~5個步驟進行較多。於該情況,使用的各硼酸處理槽的水溶液組成、溫度可在上述範圍內相同或相異皆可。上述為了耐水化之硼酸處理、為了調整色調之硼酸處理可分別以複數個步驟進行。於硼酸處理步驟,與染色步驟同樣地,可進行薄膜的延伸。最終的總延伸倍率約為4.5~7.0倍,較佳為5.0~6.5倍。These boric acid treatments can be carried out in a plurality of steps, usually in 2 to 5 steps. In this case, the aqueous solution composition and temperature of each of the boric acid treatment tanks used may be the same or different within the above range. The boric acid treatment for the hydration resistance and the boric acid treatment for adjusting the color tone can be carried out in a plurality of steps. In the boric acid treatment step, as in the dyeing step, the stretching of the film can be performed. The final total stretch ratio is about 4.5 to 7.0 times, preferably 5.0 to 6.5 times.

硼酸處理後,進行水洗處理。水洗處理係例如將硼酸處理過的聚乙烯醇系薄膜浸漬於水中,水成為淋浴式的噴霧或浸漬與噴霧並用。於水洗處理水的溫度通常為2~40℃的程度,浸漬時間為2~120秒的程度。水洗後的乾燥,於 乾燥爐中約40~100℃的溫度下進行約60~600秒。After boric acid treatment, it is washed with water. In the water washing treatment, for example, a boric acid-treated polyvinyl alcohol-based film is immersed in water, and water is used as a shower spray or a combination of dipping and spraying. The temperature of the water to be washed is usually 2 to 40 ° C, and the immersion time is 2 to 120 seconds. Dry after washing, The drying oven is carried out at a temperature of about 40 to 100 ° C for about 60 to 600 seconds.

於本發明,延伸處理後的分別步驟,進行張力控制使薄膜的張力分別實質上一定。在染色處理步驟結束延伸的情況,在其後的硼酸處理步驟以及水洗處理步驟進行張力控制。In the present invention, the respective steps after the extension treatment are performed to control the tension so that the tension of the film is substantially constant. In the case where the dyeing treatment step ends, the tension control is performed in the subsequent boric acid treatment step and the water washing treatment step.

在如此製得的偏光薄膜的至少一面以接著劑貼附保護薄膜,可得偏光板。A protective film is attached to at least one surface of the polarizing film thus obtained by an adhesive to obtain a polarizing plate.

The cycloolefin-based resin film which is formed into a film is also sold, for example, "Escena" and "SCA40" which are sold by Sekisui Chemical Industry Co., Ltd.

保護薄膜的厚度以薄者較佳,太薄的話強度降低,加工性變差,另一方面,太厚的話,透明性降低,層合後產生需要的痊癒時間變長等的問題。因此,保護薄膜適當的厚度為例如5~200μm的程度,較佳為約10~150μm,更好 為約20~100μm。The thickness of the protective film is preferably thin, and if it is too thin, the strength is lowered, and the workability is deteriorated. On the other hand, if it is too thick, the transparency is lowered, and the problem that the required healing time becomes long after lamination is caused. Therefore, the protective film has a suitable thickness of, for example, 5 to 200 μm, preferably about 10 to 150 μm, more preferably It is about 20~100μm.

為了提高接著劑與偏光薄膜以及/或與保護薄膜的接著性,可對偏光薄膜以及/或保護薄膜進行電暈處理、火焰處理、電漿處理、紫外線照射、引子塗佈處理、皂化處理等的表面處理。In order to improve the adhesion between the adhesive and the polarizing film and/or the protective film, the polarizing film and/or the protective film may be subjected to corona treatment, flame treatment, plasma treatment, ultraviolet irradiation, primer coating treatment, saponification treatment, or the like.

Further, the protective film and/or the protective film surface protective layer may have a plasticizer such as a benzophenone compound or a benzotriazole compound such as an ultraviolet absorber, a benzene phosphate compound or a phthalate compound.

如此的保護薄膜可貼附於偏光薄膜的一面,也可貼附於兩面。Such a protective film can be attached to one side of the polarizing film or attached to both sides.

偏光薄膜與保護薄膜係使用水溶劑類接著劑、有機溶劑類接著劑、熱融類接著劑、無溶劑類接著劑等的接著劑層合。作為水溶劑類接著劑,例如聚乙烯醇系樹脂水溶液、水性二液型胺基甲酸乙酯類乳液接著劑等,作為有機溶劑類接著劑,例如一液型胺基甲酸乙酯類接著劑等。使用與偏光薄膜的接合面以皂化處理等的親水化處理過之乙醯基纖維素類薄膜作為保護薄膜的情況,適合使用聚乙烯醇系樹脂水溶液作為接著劑。用作接著劑之聚乙烯醇系樹脂,除乙酸乙烯酯的單聚合物之聚乙酸乙烯酯進行皂化處理所得之乙烯醇單聚合物外,乙酸乙烯酯以及可與其共聚合之其他單量體的共聚合物進行皂化處理所得之乙烯醇類共聚合物,再者這些氫氧基部分變性之變性聚乙烯醇系聚合 物等。於該接著劑,也可使用多價醛、水溶性環氧化合物、三聚氰胺類化合物等作為添加劑。The polarizing film and the protective film are laminated using an adhesive such as a water solvent-based adhesive, an organic solvent-based adhesive, a hot-melt adhesive, or a solventless adhesive.

Further, it was immersed in a 30 ° C aqueous solution having an iodine/potassium iodide/water weight ratio of 0.025/1.5/100, and was subjected to a 2.50-fold axial extension. Then, it was immersed in a 60 ° C aqueous solution having a potassium iodide/boric acid/water weight ratio of 10/5/100, subjected to boric acid treatment, and subjected to one-axis stretching until the total stretching ratio from the original structure was 5.9 times. After boric acid treatment, it was washed with pure water at 10 ° C for about 10 seconds. After washing with water, it was dried at 60 ° C for 2 minutes to obtain an iodine-based polarizing film having a thickness of 28 μm.

乾燥前的純水洗淨時不緩和薄膜之洗淨步驟的張力,以市售差動變壓器方式張力儀於線上測定。其結果,850N/m寬的張力,沒有產生薄膜的緩和。The pure water before drying does not relax the tension of the film washing step, and is measured on a line by a commercially available differential transformer type tension meter. As a result, the tension of 850 N/m width did not cause relaxation of the film.

使用該碘系偏光薄膜,與實施例同樣地得到偏光板。Using this iodine-based polarizing film, a polarizing plate was obtained in the same manner as in the examples.

該偏光薄膜在直交泥科爾(crossed Nicol)狀態下於暗室以目視觀察,幾乎無染色不均。The polarizing film was visually observed in a dark room in a crossed Nicol state, and there was almost no uneven dyeing.

(比較例1)(Comparative Example 1)

與實施例1相同於厚度75μm的聚乙烯醇薄膜於30℃純水,保持薄膜不鬆弛狀態浸漬約130秒,使薄膜充分膨脹(膨脹約1.2倍)。In the same manner as in Example 1, a polyvinyl alcohol film having a thickness of 75 μm was immersed in pure water at 30 ° C for about 130 seconds in a state where the film was not relaxed, and the film was sufficiently expanded (about 1.2 times in expansion).

然後,浸漬於碘元素/碘化鉀/水重量比為0.025/1.5/100的30℃水溶液,且延伸後的長度與實施例1相同,進行2.60倍之一軸延伸。以下與實施例1央同,進行硼酸處理以及水洗.乾燥,得到厚度28μm的碘系偏光薄膜。Then, it was immersed in a 30 ° C aqueous solution having an iodine/potassium iodide/water weight ratio of 0.025/1.5/100, and the length after stretching was the same as in Example 1, and a 2.60-fold axial extension was performed. The following is the same as in the first embodiment, boric acid treatment and water washing. The film was dried to obtain an iodine-based polarizing film having a thickness of 28 μm.

由剛水洗後的薄膜寬度(W1)以及乾燥後的薄膜寬度(W2),求得乾燥頸為15%。From the film width (W1) immediately after washing and the film width (W2) after drying, the dry neck was found to be 15%.

使用該碘系偏光薄膜,與實施例同樣地得到偏光板。Using this iodine-based polarizing film, a polarizing plate was obtained in the same manner as in the examples.

該偏光薄膜在直交泥科爾(crossed Nicol)狀態下於暗室以目視觀察,有若干染色不均。The polarizing film was visually observed in a dark room in a crossed Nicol state, and there were some uneven dyeing.
